A Facebook page with more than 100 thousand followers shared a post on Mar 26, captioned, “ Following PM Abiy Ahmed’s decision [the humanitarian truce] the Eritrean army deployed 13 modern military divisions to [Tigray] border.” But, HaqCheck inspected the image used to support the claim and rendered it False.

ከ100 ሺህ በላይ ተከታይ ያለው የፌስቡክ ገፅ በመጋቢት 17 ቀን ፣ “የጠቅላይ ሚኒስትር አብይ አህመድን ውሳኔ [ለሰብዓዊ እርዳታ ሲባል ተኩስ ማቆምን] ተከትሎ የኤርትራ ጦር ትግራይ ድንበር አካባቢ 13 ዘመናዊ ትጥቅ የታጠቀ ክፍለ ጦር ወደ ድንበር አስጠጋች” የሚል የፅሁፍ መግለጫ ያለው አንድ ምስል አጋርቶ ነበር።
ሀቅቼክ የምስሉን ትክክለኛነት ለማጣራት ጥረት ያደረገ ሲሆን ምስሉ ከዚህ ቀደም በሀምሌ 26 ቀን 2011 ዓ.ም “ሳዋ-የብሄራዊ ቀን የብር እዮቤልዩ ክብረ በዓል” በሚል ርዕስ የታተመ ፅሁፍ አካል ሆኖ አግኝቶታል።
ይህም በመሆኑ የፌስቡክ ፖስቱ መረጃውን ለመደገፍ የተጠቀመውን ምስል ሀቅቼክ ሀሰት ብሎታል።
