1. Treating the EPLF as a rebel group and not as invaders. - The EPLF should have been mass poisoned, bombed with cluster bombs and anyone who supports them should have them and their family members executed.

2. Compare Mengistu action against Somalia and EPLF, he treated the EPLF case a civil war and not foreign invasion. This was a horrible error in Mengistu's part.


Mengistu underestimated the seriousness of the EPLF ( He should have buried them in the millions, it was obvious the EPLF wouldn't have been defeated without burying millions of EPLF supporters in the grave with them.



Could the EPLF have been beating?

Yes, it would have required a total annihilation with the use of both navy, air force and armed forces.


The real question is here!

Why didn't Mengistu not bomb Asmara into ashes and kill millions in major cities and towns.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
