HI Axumexana: Whoever said TPLF started the "Ethio-Eritrean war in 1998" is correct Neither you nor any international body can prove that Eritrea started that war. If PM Abiy has said "it was TPLF that started the...war in 1998", he is right. Not because he is the current PM of Etiyopiya, or Abiy Ah...

Dear Hawdian, Haw Dian, or The Ras: Reconsider your peace proposal, please The lasting solution --i.e. peace with justice--for Tigraiy must include both military and political solutions. Your proposal, or USA President Joe Biden's proposal for peace is to be done by an actual or a threat of sanction...

Hi Aba: Who are the sources of information of "Arbi Harinet/Freedom Friday"? Your source posted his mis/information today, 15 September 2021. The hearsay started before today.The four doubts I listed before remain unconfirmed. Try again https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10158300561420983&i...

Hi Aba: The "Breaking News" does not seem credible It is not better than a hearsay, because there is nothing confirmed about the claims. 1. The existence of Eritrean troops of any kind in Etiyopiya, and particularly in/around Dessiye, Wello, is not confirmed. 2. The encirclement of any armed forces ...

Dear Axumezana: " TPLF is destined to decline. Their expiry date is long overdue" Getting things right on the Ethiopia conflict Jon Abbink 29 August 2021 A group of African intellectuals has made an ‘Open Call for for urgent action on Ethiopia’ (https://africanarguments.org/2021/08/an-open-call-by-a...

Dear Axumezana: Try to be more realistic to answer your own question Who wants the Etiyopiyan civil war to continue? You will discover the right answer only if facts are the basis of your inquiry. There is no force that wants to continue this civil war more/other than TPLF & Co. You are blaming Erit...

Dear Sarcasm: Let disputes be sorted out based on the laws of Etiyopiya The so-called "Western Tigray" has been a disputed territory from the 1980s. The method the territory expanding west of the Tekkezze River to the Sudan border did not satisfy the desires and consent of the non-Tigrayawian popula...

Dear Sarcasm: "There is no military solution to what...[problem]" are they/you, saying? I would like to share with you what Brendan Gallagher wrote in October 13, 2015: YES, SOMETIMES THERE ARE MILITARY SOLUTIONS TO POLITICAL PROBLEMS [....] Today we occasionally hear similar logic that there is no ...

Dear Blueshifty: Yes it is independence You do have a misguided understanding of political independence, I believe. The political independence of a country is not determined by the type of government, or the level of its democratization, etc. that country has.The only thing that matters, according t...

Dear Dereje G. Tullu and Sarcasm: Who should dialogue/negotiate with whom based on what? Are you suggesting that each person or opposition group/party should dialogue with the Federal Government? There are village, district, kellil and Federal governments in Etiyopiya. Any citizen cannot get up and ...

Dear AbebeB: Strictly speaking: no extrapolation? If you are not extrapolating or reasoning out by relating pieces of information provided in the book, how did you conclude then that ወልቃይት የትግራይ መሆኑዋን [Welqayit is Tigray's? Where did the book say that statement? Dear AbebeB: Don't carelessly rush in...

Dear AbebeB: Don't carelessly rush into a wrong conclusion The first edition of Rev. Michael Russell's book, I believe, was published in 1800, the second edition in 1833, and the most recent edition was published in 2019. So the author is generally describing the territorial situations of the time p...

Dear Sarcasm: Nobody wants this "war" but it shall continue until those who started it stop I do not expect that anyone would convince you but yourself. Nor has the "war" reached a "stalemate". It is in its different phase. No one knows when a "war" ends until it ends. The adversaries in the "war" d...

Dear Sarcasm: No need for a Gov't in Exile while there is one at home If there was no Eritrean Government at home, one could imagine of organizing one in exile,but It would be redundant and pointless to set up two governments (one in Eritrea and another in exile) for one set of people at the same ti...

Dear Aba: Tigraiy wins if it upholds the truth--Are Eritrean troops committing crimes...in Ethiopia? In a way, I don't blame you to get upset by any set of news that informs you and others that Eritrean troops are committing crimes in Tigraiy, Etiyopiya. I would be, too, if it were true. But is ever...

The "news" that claimed Eritreans massacred 750 to 800 persons in Aksum, Etiyopiya, was "absolutely false" [media]https://twitter.com/classyenter/status/1366072368393842689[/media] In the Tigrinya language he said, [ ንሓበሬታ ብጭቡጥ ንምጽራይ] ዘለዎ ብድሆታት ኣብ ግምት አእቲና ማለት ዩ፡ ስለዚ ብዝተፈላለዩ መገድታት ኣብ መሬት ዘሎ ነገራት ስለ...

Dear Eden: I understand that your cause is the revival of TPLF, and your success is unlikely Etiyopiyans were not ultimately happy with TPLF' s 1991-2018 control over Etiyopiya for three main reasons: 1. it controlled military, political and economic power beyond reasonable proportions vis-a-vis its...

Dear Eden: It is the same principle for all countries---each has the right to extend its sovereignty over its own lands What PIA reportedly said is the fundamental principle of justice that brings about peace between territorial-States/countries. Each State, or country, has the legitimate right to e...

Eritrean troops are not in Tigray, said a Brig. General of the Etiyopiyan Federal/National Defense Forces General Mohammed Tessema reaffirms the position that it’s the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Defense Force that is enforcing rule of law in Tigray region, not Eritrean troops. He criti...
