Asked about the repeated allegations, al-Ain said, "They are working with information from Mekele without any internet or communication connection, but they are not 'balancing' with the government in Addis Ababa."
According to the Deputy Director General, the non-balancing act is a “finger-pointing to the body” and deviates from the principles of journalism.
