At this point I can't discern if western media is intentionally deceitful or just ignorant.
But claiming we Ethiopians that don't support the herculean effort to paint TPLF as victims are averse to truth and don't fact check is a bit much. So let's do some contextual fact check. https://twitter.com/HermelaTV/status/1352746314434449408

Is TPLF trustworthy?
TPLF led EPRDF won 100%, that is all 547 seats, of the 2015 elections.
This guy from North Korea also won 100% in their 2019 election.
Question: Do you believe these election results and do you think Ethiopians should never question it?

Because by questioning we are not merely implying that TPLF would lie to the people- because every Government does- but at "100%" we must marvel at such unbridled arrogance and utter contempt for Ethiopians and their sense of pure impunity as they insult every Ethiopian voter.
However, after a spectacular "100%" win, in two short years Baye Tadesse, the state chief protocol officer actually applied for asylum in New York while attending the UN General Assembly. Four month later the Prime Minister himself resigned.
This diplomat feared TPLF so much that he would seek asylum while on diplomatic mission to the US. TPLF was reporting that this man was actually a gardener. So I guess Hailemariam brought the gardener with him to attend the 72nd United Nations General Assembly? What do you think?
Media outlets like to point out that PM Abiy postponed elections while Tigray held theirs in the constitutionally appointed time. But they leave out critical facts. First, the PM does not have the power to postpone elections. That decision was made by the NEBE.
Secondly TPLF defied the central government decision and conducted its own elections without the NEBE. Guess by how much they won? Apparently they respect Tigray intelligence a little bit more and won by only 98.2%. https://www.ethioembassy.org.uk/press-statement-by-nebe-on-the-postponement-of-ethiopia-2020-elections/
In a class of irony that only TPLF can achieve, TPLF violated the constitution it was pretending to uphold. As the constitution clearly states their election was null and void.
What do you think was to happen when the Federal Government has elections that TPLF vowed it would never participate in? When a new regional Government is elected for Tigray and they go to Tigray to take over the Tigray military post, regional budget and all offices?
War.
That is what would have happened.
So let's stop pretending TPLF didn't declare war on Ethiopia when it held its own election, when it could have easily waited half a year and participated in Federal election. They knew exactly what they were doing.
They wanted this.

This is not just an educated guess. TPLF has openly admitted as much on national TV.
Why is it so hard to accept the obvious, that the brutal regime that oppressed Ethiopia for 30 years is in fact the aggressor. Shocking, I know. https://twitter.com/SOEFactCheck/status/1327568678326575104

Unless of course you have evidence that Ethiopia was the spitting image of Swedish democracy under TPLF rule that was destroyed in two short years by Abiy Administration... I suggest a bit more of fact digging and soul searching.
