How could Ethiopia became "War on Terror" partner of the United States with lies like this?

Yesterday, May 12, 2016, the Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC), the State-owned national television, reported the seizure of weapons cache by the Ethiopian National Intelligence and Security Service and Federal Police Counter-Terrorism Joint Taskforce, two different Ethiopian Security agencies working together, from Eritrean government sponsored terrorists it claimed " sneaked into the country through Moyale, Kenya".
Unfortunately, the pictures of weapons shown on EBC, Ethiopia's government-owned national television, are weapons seized by the United States 82nd Airborne Division in Fallujah, Iraq on January 3, 2004, in the volatile Sunni triangle during the U.S. Invasion of Iraq.
See the two attached pictures from EBC and Getty Images for comparison.
Question:
How could Ethiopia become a "trusted and dependable" security partner of the United States in its "Global War on Terror" in the Horn of Africa with major lies and fabrications like this?
Read the full report of EBC and judge!
(EBC; May 12, 2016) - The Ethiopian National Intelligence and Security Service and Federal Police Counter-Terrorism Joint Task force said it has captured and killed Eritrean-backed terrorists while preparing to carry out a terrorist act.
The Task force said in a statement it issued on Wednesday that the terrorists were captured in a jungle at the southern tip of the country.
In its operation carried out on 6 May 2016, the Task force captured most of the terrorists with their armaments. Some of the terrorists who tried to escape were also killed.
According to the Task force, the terrorists who sneaked into the country through Moyale, Kenya, were preparing to carry out a terrorist act.
The terrorists, whose travel documents have been prepared by the Eritrean government, traveled to Uganda, and they made their way to Kenya before they arrived at their final destination, South Ethiopia.
This is not the first time that the Ethiopian forces captured terrorists and foiled planned terrorist plots.
Ethiopian forces have captured a number of Eritrea-backed terrorist groups while trying to sneak into the country through the northern part of the country as well.
