Terrorist Tsadqan is a war criminal responsible for the horrific deaths of tens of thousands of Oromo and Amhara young men he marched into battlefields in a human wave formation, and used them as mine-sweepers and cannon-fodders in his pursuit for his evil agenda of Abay Tigray Republic. He and his terrorist comrades shot Ethiopian soldiers who attempted to retreat from the battlefield.

The Ethiopian TPLF commanders' strategy was simple. Deploying tens of thousands of barely trained recruits along a 3-mile front, they drove them forward, wave upon wave, with the sole mission of blowing themselves up on minefields until they had cleared a path to the Eritrean front line for better trained infantry, mechanised forces and armour.

In the third or fourth wave, about 5,000 peasants came with them, their mules and donkeys bearing food and ammunition for an Ethiopian breakthrough.

It didn't work. The doomed men hardly raised their weapons, but linked hands in a despairing communal solace in the face of certain death from four sources: mines, perfectly aimed artillery, the trenches and their own officers in the rear, who shot them if they turned and ran.
