The next question that comes to mind is: So why did we Weyane fail, and fail miserably?
Yes, why did we Weyane fail when we were enjoying billions of dollars in military and financial aid to keep Eritrea in a perpetual war footing? Did our job to hurt Eritreans consume all of our attention and energy that we failed to see the simmering volcano in Ethiopia which later came to consume us?

Did we not see it coming, or did we simply ignore all the warning signs as we were heading towards a point of no return in regards to our relations with Eritrea that, the love of money made us totally oblivious to the dire consequences awaiting us down the road?

Back to the burning question: What if we Weyane had never invaded Eritrea?
It's true that our invasion of Eritrea, and the occupation of its territory, has made our TPLF leaders very wealthy. And I'm sure that, had we Weyane refuse to accept Washington's orders to invade Eritrea, the job would have been given to another one of our neighbors, such as Sudan for example.
But we Weyane were handpicked for the dirty job due to our familiarity with fighting against Eritreans during the Derg era, when thousands of our Tegaru people were deployed to Eritrea to bring the civilian population down to its knees through various methods of violence.

Do you think the complex problems facing our Weyane leaders and the Tigray people today could have been prevented had we Weyane never invaded Eritrea for money?
What is the root of all evil? Money, or the love of money?

I know that we Weyane produced over 2000 Tegaru billionaires and millionaires during the last 20 years. But we also lost over 60,000 young Tegaru men and women during our 17 years of armed struggle.
Did we lose our heroes in vain? Was the money we made invading and occupying Eritrea worth losing our country Tigray? Short-sighted greed?

If we could turn back the hands of time to the year 1998, do you think our Weyane leaders fail to see the future when they had ample time to learn from the mistakes of both the emperor and his communist successor, whose fall from grace was the direct consequence of their greedy demands for money they sought to gain from their wars of annexation, occupation and subjugation?
Back to square one.
