The prime minister allegedly said that "The obligation to die for Ethiopia belongs to all of us,” and AP reported that he "called on citizens to mobilize 'by holding any weapon or capacity.' AP did not list Facebook's exact reason for removing the post but the platform's Community Standards prohibit posts that show severe violence or incite violence.
