Did Abbiy come to power with Weyane blessing ?

Querro and fano take the credit. But, weyane had the powerful army. Weyane practially evacuated the office with a plan. This is what I think. The weyanes never armed the Eritrean opposition even when Isayas was arming anyone who opposed the weyanes. I could be wrong, but I think what the weyane's grand plan was , eventually, secede from Ethiopia and bring Eritrea under its fold through the Agazzian guise. Weyane was expecting Eritrea to fall under its own weight and the sanction would kill it all together. Weyane never thought Abbiy would make peace with Isayas. What weyane did not expect was also, that Abbiy would become the centrist favoring the eradication of the ethnic federalism. In other words, Abbiy wants the way Ethiopia was under Haile Sellasie. Abbiy betrayed the weyanes hence the standoff.
