TDF and allied forces are wining the civil war in Ethiopia. The war is now taking place in Amhara villages and in Western Tigray. Still banking, internet, telecommunication services are not functioning in Tigray as they are under the control of federal government. Tigray Government might be forced to get it's own telecommunication and internet service system which is technically possible. Most of agricultural lands in Tigray are covered with seeds hoping to reap in January 2022.

Some groups in Tigray want to form a separate country. Factually Tigray is already a country. But the problem of having own country is that of historical boundaries of Tigray. which are mostly occupied by other communities. Thus forming own independent country might be of a disadvantage as there are no clear boundaries between the regional states in Ethiopia. Tigray is product of Aksumite Kingdom and should get back all the lands and territories of Aksumite Kingdom before forming own independent country. On the other hand Tigray peopel are bitter with Ethiopia's government and Ethiopia itself because the destruction brought by Ethiopia's troops, genocide and food blockade etc It will be difficult to decide for Tigray people to seee themselves as part of Ethiopia.

The problem of Tigray is TPLF which is led by non-Tigrayans and is divided along clans based on districts and subdistricts. We believe TPLF has the same political positions as before. Even though the Red Sea is part of Aksumite Kingdom, TPLF has given away The Red Sea to Eritrea. TPLF further believes in ethnic federalism as a political solution for the issue of Amhara tribal domination of Ethiopia. This is quite wrong. It is guarantee of equality in the country as a whole that could solve the problem of domination of one community over others.

The political solution to Ethiopia's crisis is the formation of a democratic unitary state with some forms of federal structure. We could be multilingual bit not ethnic. We could be divided into smaller administrative units but still federal.
We need to change the current constitution and draft a new constitution based on the principles of a unitary democratic state. Other wise the war will continue until ethnic based political groups and chauvinists disappear.
