- During 1977/ 78 Ethiopia Somalia war - TPLF did not support Somalia while ELF, EPLF and EPRP supported Somalia with an excuse that it will weaken Derg

-In 1989 while EPLF supported the attempted que by Military generals, TPLF opposed it
- In 2019 TPLF opposed the formation of the Prosperity Party while the two former members of EPRDF( including the lame duck Amhara party) decided to join it. Amazingly this two former EPRDF members willingly seceded the equal by vote they had in the EPRDF collation & opted to que behind the Oromia Prosperity for any decision to perpetuity.

- Over the last 2 1/2 years TPLF refused to register as a new party

However with regard to Eritrea TPLF had a soft heart wrongly but intentionally recognizing the Eritrean struggle as a struggle against Ethiopian colonization & finally allowing Eritrea to land lock Ethiopia. May be "Blood is thicker than water" or recognizing Tigray may be ultimately an independent country but with confederation with Eritrea.

TPLF is not an individual but an institution & will be directly or indirectly leading Ethiopia / Horn Africa for the years to come ! Actually PP is a new brand name for stolen EPRDF with some cosmetic change.

Tplf, an institution. Of course it is, each of the above had such institutions fit for the time.

Main thing: the ideolgy of ethnic diffetences as the most significant contradiction of the Ethiopian country had been thoroughly and completely researched and debunked, disctedited. It was the pillar narrative of the TPLF. Now that is discredited, TPLF has no legs to stand on. To force itself illegally, defying Ethiopian political party laws enacted after Pretoria is dangerous to itself primarily.

The Ethiopian government recognized TPLF during the signature if the Pretoria Agreement, why is Abiy trying to sabotage the peace of Ethiopia? If that is not the case did Abiy signed the Agreement with illegal party?

The law that designated TPLF, OLF and ONLF and others as terrorist outfits was enacted before the Pretoria Agreement. Knowing the TPLF now considered a terrorist per the new law does not and should not stop the Gov of Ethiopia from enteringng into a peace deal. Entering into the peace deal with a legally described terrorist group does not mean the terrorist group was considered a legally operating group. The cease fire agreement was not between two legally operating groups. Ethiopia has the legality of sovereign rights to determine the TPLF activities as illegal but still negotiate to end the wars and save live but Tplf did not and still does not have the powers of the Ethiopian gov.

Indeed, TPLF would acknowlegde that its actions were illegal but for defence of prestige and for honor of TPLF not to be undermined by the OPDO it delegated so.much power to weeaken Amara and Gurage.

The TPLF know nothing’s do really believe that.
Today I read what Tiago wrote : Abiy does not want to get rid off the so called liberation fronts altogether. I have my doubts. If true Abiy is sabotaging the Ethiopian people’s interest. I live way far from the battlefield which is Ethiopia, but I am very much convinced that an Ethiopian politician who is willing to bury the tribal politics of self serving will enjoy the great majority of Ethiopians’ support.
If I were Abiy I would force the TPLF leadership to subjugate themselves to our neighboring dictator wish. Then a clear line is drawn.
To believe that the TPLF that we know can exist in harmony with Ethiopia’s peaceful existence is to live in delusion.
It is time to write off the so called liberation fronts such as the Oromo liberation front or the Tigray liberation front altogether . They have no people to liberate. But they do have something to liberate: their minds from ignorance.

Abiy has no means to subject TPLF !
You do not enter contract with an illegal party . The Pretoria Agreement was a bilateral agreement in which each party recognized the other. TPLF could at any time declare it does not recognize Abiy's government.
