🚨 MEDIA MONITORING 🚨

Al Arabiya and its sister channel, Al Hadath, have recently been presenting highly distorted narratives and framing events in ways that appear to shape public perceptions across the Arab world, particularly regarding Ethiopia. This was especially evident in their coverage during the first few days following the TPLF’s launch of its attack, likely anticipating a very different outcome from the one that eventually unfolded.

At times, their coverage appeared to depart significantly from the realities on the ground, while also undermining Ethiopia’s sovereignty. What is particularly concerning is that this pattern of distorted reporting has not stopped; it continues to this day, with both outlets seemingly maintaining the same approach in their coverage of Ethiopia.

It remains unclear whether this reflects a deliberate editorial policy or a consistent editorial bias against Ethiopia. Nevertheless, the nature and tone of their reporting raise serious questions about the objectivity, balance, and credibility of their News coverage.

🚨Sudanese Umma Party releases statement 🚨

📌 Ethiopia raised with the Sudanese government the presence of Tigray Liberation Front forces in Sudan, but Al-Burhan and his apparatus responded that the country needs these forces in the war against the Rapid Support Forces

📌 Elements from the Tigray forces participated alongside the Sudanese army in military operations in central Sudan

📌 The "Islamists" within Al-Burhan's authority pushed the 13th and 17th divisions of the Tigray forces present in Sudan to participate in the recent war against the Ethiopian federal government

📌 General Al-Burhan must immediately halt any military, logistical, or political support provided by Sudanese apparatus to the forces engaged in armed rebellion against the Ethiopian government

📌 General Al-Burhan must immediately initiate a request for African Union mediation to contain the crisis with Ethiopia

🇪🇹Aviation: It was recently revealed during the 90th anniversary of the Ethiopian Air Force that Ethiopia has purchased at least six Yak-130 advanced jet trainer and light combat aircraft. The Yak-130 is primarily designed to train military pilots for operating modern 4th- and 5th-generation fighter jets.

The purchase of the Yak-130 suggests that Ethiopia may have formalized, or is actively pursuing, the acquisition of 4++ generation or next-generation fighter platforms. Multiple reports in recent years have indicated Ethiopian interest in the Su-35 air-dominance multirole fighter, which would significantly enhance the ETAF’s beyond-visual-range (BVR) combat and air superiority capabilities. Alternatively, Ethiopia could diversify its Air force structure by selecting China’s J-10C, a multirole fighter noted for its advanced AESA radar, electronic warfare suite, and network-centric combat capabilities.

There is also growing speculation that Ethiopia may seek to purchase one or two squadrons of 5th-generation fighters, following Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s statement during the 90th Air Force anniversary ceremony that the Air Force intends to transition toward 5th generation capability. Potential candidates could include Russia’s export variant Su-57E or China’s J-35E, both of which would represent a substantial leap in stealth, sensor fusion, and survivability for the ETAF.

Recent reports indicate that Algeria is currently the only African nation operating 5th-generation Su-57 fighters. Whether Ethiopia will follow a similar trajectory remains to be seen, but the acquisition of the Yak-130 strongly suggests a long-term modernization roadmap focused on high end air combat capabilities.
