TPLF is not terrorist, it is a revolutionary democratic front, a stalinist group with tactics to use white capitalism

With the down fall of the Soviet Union and the socialist camp, TPLF changed it's tactics to transform the backward Ethiopian economy and society - developed to co-operate with raw white capitalism to benefit the Ethiopian masses. It is true there was power abuse in the ranks of the TPLF leadership, but compared to the iron discipline and devotion they showed to transform Ethiopia - it is insignificant.
TPLF's ethnic federalism has some weak points. But it is the first time in the history of the world that a Marxist - Leninist group as they called themselves Marxist-Lenininst League of Tigray (MLLT) empowered pre-capatalist primitive tribes become rules of their community. TPLF gave practical guidelines to empower the oppressed ethnic groups in Ethiopia. For the first time in their history, tribes with primitive, yes pre-capitalist organisation were masters of their fate having their own government and parliament. No ethnic groups, not even African-Americans or Red Indians had the opportunity as TPLF offered to the downtrodden primitive tribes of Ethiopia.
Ethnic Federalism should have been modified to create a bridge between the oppressed tribes of Ethiopia. I smile when the president of Gambella residing over his 200000 people where the parliament is only filled with dark-skinned Africans from the Omotic tribes. No Abyssinian is allowed to intervene in their affairs.
TPLF could not rule with the same energy it started with. Some were indulging in corruption and the creation of wealth for themselves. Young Ethiopians were ignored and the leadership was unable to be replaced. Now it could be the end of TPLF. Probably also the beginning of a new armed struggle for a federated democratic Ethiopia. Time will show.

There will be no war that will be going. If there is any, it will be confined to your country and it will not be a concern to any of us. OMG!! Everything under the sun in that country was under your control for close to 3 decades but your sheer greed was never satisfied. I really doubt that we should even be together in one country.
