Ethiopian Ambassador to India, Fesseha Shawel Gebre, has strongly condemned the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, attributing full responsibility to Pakistan-backed terrorists. Calling the assault “unacceptable and horrifying”, Gebre praised India’s composed yet firm response to the attack.

India’s Response: Operation Sindoor
Following the attack, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The operation aimed to dismantle terror infrastructure, with Indian forces effectively responding to subsequent Pakistani aggression.

Gebre emphasized Ethiopia’s shared fight against terrorism, stating that India and Ethiopia stand together in combating extremist threats. He also revealed that an Indian delegation is expected to visit Ethiopia by the end of May to discuss counterterrorism cooperation.
Conclusion
The Ethiopian envoy’s remarks highlight growing international support for India’s counterterrorism efforts. As diplomatic engagements continue, India remains committed to exposing Pakistan’s terror links and ensuring regional stability.
