Alex De Waal in his own words (or no words).

[The first minute of the call was not recorded. Mulugeta started by describing the onset of the war.] He pretends like he did not record the first minute because it obviously contains bravado and self-incriminating evidence. One minute conversation is not the same as one sentence. It is at least ha...

Evolution of TPLF propoganda

https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/976/cpsprodpb/9694/production/_115484583_gettyimages-1201936265.jpg I have been following TPLF propaganda, to see how it'd develop over the course of this conflict. It went pretty much as expected... In the beginning TPLF was dominated by the extremists. Therefore, it ...

Re: I agree with previous poster. It is time to move on.

I think Sebhat gave in easily because I believe he saw the errors of the extremists and was probably upset at his fellow TPLFites and didn't believe in the fight. Regardless, the picture of a surrendering Sebhat Nega were far less humiliating than the way the other three died. For that reason, I hop...

I agree with previous poster. It is time to move on.

Tegarus need to admit defeat and move on. This is helpful for everyone including the civilian Tegarus living in "Tigray". They are not interested in the war. and they would soon have peace than wage a pointless war on behalf of the narcist elements of Tegaru diaspora. Hopefully, this Amharic song wi...

Turning fascism against itself

Due to relentless brain-washing, "the golden race", "the invincible" battle hardened fascists could not see the world for what it is. Because their propaganda was designed to be irrational and emotional jingoism, the moderates within TPLF lost any chance to get the upper hand. They all had no choice...

The Al-Nejash mosque should be immediately restored

This is clearly "T"PLF provocation. A group of people who have repressed Muslims for 30 years are not going to be suddenly enlightened. If I were Abiy, I would go ahead apologize to all the "muslim" nations for what "T"PLF is allowed to do. This should be communicated to the Sudan, Egypt, Somalia an...

Tembien: as I fully expected

They made sure the war was waged in Tembien. As the colonel point out, there was no war in either Axum or Adwa.

This is the TPLF we know. And it is Tribal politics at its best.

Tembien - a happy coincidence.

The pan-Ethiopian politicians will continue with their blind wars against the "T"PLF. And it won't be without lives lost and economic opportunity lost. Ethnic politics is the internal logic of "Tigray". Should PM Abiy open his eyes and recognize this, this war against TPLF would be concluded in shor...

Why Tegaru need a mosque in Axum: a solution for Agazians

"Tigray" is NOT a name of a nation. Nor was it a name of a place. The Agazian movement was created to overcome this important problem. However, the Agazian solution has also its own challenges. Among its most important challenge is its images as a collection of religious bigots. A lot of Muslims, in...

General Samura Yunis Mosque (Axum, Tigre)

It is tiresome, the cat-n-mouse game between ENDF the & "Adwa rats". It really is. I am completely unimpressed. More so by the reward posted for the capture of these people. It is tiresome and embarrassing. A more interesting news would be political resolution for the various grievances of the peopl...

The Mosque in Axum

Of the various groups of people that have suffered in "Tigray", the Axum Muslims stand out the most. Not least because they stood up to TPLF when it was strongest. They broke the fear to start "let our voice be heard" movement throughout Ethiopia. They stood their ground and denounced the junta when...

Forget "Tigray", think AGAZAY

"Tigray" is neither a nation, nor a historical place. It is a potpourri of several nationalities that have come to be arbitrarily called "Tigray" in the closing years of the 19th century. The government of Abiy and Issayas would be foolish if they try to play cat-n-mouse with TPLF. TPLF's prerequisi...

Re: Past, Present and Future of the "Tigray" construct.

Your version of history is more fun than my dry take on it. To be honest with you, the similarity of the name of the plant and the name of the people of Agame is a coincidence. I am saying this 1)because the Agame people are mentioned on the stelae of Ezana by name 2)there is historical evidence tha...

Re: Past, Present and Future of the "Tigray" construct.

I do not know too much about the history of Enderta. The thing that left a mark in my memory about them is that they wrote/translated the Kibra Negest. Enderta people seem to have an affinity with the people of Angote/Bete Amhara. And the Kibra-Negest seems to have legitimized the so called -Solomon...

Re: Past, Present and Future of the "Tigray" construct.

Tembien is the land of Agew people. They are "Tigrinya" speaking Agew people. Their history attest to it. Their culture attest to it. The only reason they are considered Tegaru is because their language was dominated out of existence by the Tegaru. Your post seems to me a compromise between the trut...

Re: Past, Present and Future of the "Tigray" construct.

Good Questions: Agame people are without any doubt mentioned on the stelae of Ezana as one of the conquered tribes. Before their conquest and even after their conquest, they were Saho people. In other words Agames are Saho people. But over time they lost their language and became assimilated to the ...

Past, Present and Future of the "Tigray" construct.

"Tigray" is not a historical place. As there is no such place even 150 years ago. It is NOT a nation, as the people of Irob, Kunama, Tigre, Tembein -Abergele have no cultural, psychological, historical and even linguistic similarity with the dominant group- the Tigre. "Tigray"'s connection with Axum...

Well done buddy. The Adwa-rats have chosen the very place where they will be defeated not only militarily but also politically. The Ethiopian government should commence with the establishment of the Tembien-Abergele Special Zone for the Agew and Kimant people, who are the native people of the Area. ...
