Is it better for Abiy to negotiate before or after the distractions and surrender of Dessie and kombolcha?
In my opinion it is better to reach at a negotiated ceasefire asap before surrendering these two twin cities. The chance of Fano and Amhara paramilitary preventing the surrender of these two cities without weapons is slim with just sticks and rocks, so let's start negotiations and spare the life of our brave young men. It also gives us time to regroup, arm and better prepare to defend our territories.
