At first sight it may seem contradictory to feel grateful to anyone who starts war. Of course, it would have been much preferable if the TPLF had adopted a sane approach and decided to live in peace. But given the extreme hubris, bloated self-image and belligerence of the TPLF leaders, war was inevitable. Abiy and Eritrea, no matter how much they might have wanted to get rid the TPLF, would have never started a per-emptive action. Their plan was to isolate and strangle the thugs psychologically and economically. By starting the war themselves, and doing it in the most cowardly and dastardly manner, the TPLF thugs gave Ethiopia and Eritrea to take the necessary action to rid the region of the incurable cancer.
A typical weyanay lamentation.
ዝሰረቕክወን ናቖርጠምኩ፥ ክንዲ ዝነበር ኣስተርሕየ
መን ደፊኡኒ መን ወጢጡኒ፥ ኣይ ባዕለይ ኢንድየ
ዓይነይ ናረኤኹ፥ ኣብታ መፈንጥራ እባ ኣትየ
ጽጋብ'ዩ ከምኡ ጌሩኒ፥ ዘይፈልጦ በሊዐ ሰትየ።
ወያናይ እየ ካብ ምባል፥ ዘይብል ሃዳማይ'የ
ኣብ ሰለስተ ሰሙን፥ ካብ ሑመራ መቐለ ተራእየ
ካብ መቐለ ተኾብኪበ፥ ኣብ በረኻታት ተሰንድየ
ነፍሰይ ከድሕን፥ ካብ በዓቲ ናብ በዓቲ ጎይየ።
ዝኾነለይ መሲሉኑ፤ ዘይተኣደነ ለፍሊፈ ሓስየ
ቀቲሎምኒ፥ ኣንስተይ ደፊሮምለይ ኢለ'እውየ
ኣብ መንገድታት ኣንገርጊረ፥ ከም ሕሱም በኽየ
ጸሓይ ከይዓረበት፥ ዘራይ'ተመጸ መሬት ከይመሰየ።
