South AfricaPretoria is measuring the collapse of the peace agreement that bears its name, four years after hosting it, as the TPLF and six other Ethiopian armed groups are joining forces to overthrow Abiy Ahmed.
What each one tells
opposition
SwedenStockholm is first considering the human cost of the escalation in Tigray, four years after the 600,000 deaths of the previous war.
- South Africa
Asymmetric lexical
the direct quote from the TPLF, which describes the Ethiopian executive as "autocratic and genocidal", is reproduced verbatim, without comparable intensity quotes attributed to the federal camp.
Variable geometry support
the drone strikes by the Ethiopian army are sourced from an independent data project, while the surrender of nearly 300 Tigrayan fighters relies solely on a military statement.
What the account puts first
SwedenHumanitarian-centered
Swedish articles quote a doctor from Mekele and a correspondent rather than government or diplomatic sources.
- South Africa
Dependence on a single dispatch
Business Day and TimesLIVE publish an identical text, word for word, on the TPLF's announcement of the new war, with no distinct treatment between the two titles.
What it leans on
SwedenReliance on the TPLF's version
the narrative of the "total war" is based on the statement to AFP by the vice president of the rebel movement, with no official government statement cited in these articles.
