If TPLF is to win the current fight for Ethiopia, it needs to change it's political programme entirely.
TPLF should stand for a united and democratic Ethiopia.
TPLF should transform itself to one country wide Ethiopian party like EDP and many others.
Tigray is not a nation. It just is a language community. Yohannes IV was emperor of Ethiopia not even king of Tigray. St.Yared was Ethiopian not Tigrayan even though he is born in Aksum.
Ezana was king of Ethiopia or Aksum as he was also ruling Shoa province and adjacent territories.
Federalist forces are not really federalist, are ethnic and are not an alternative to unitary forces.
Unitarians are pan-Ethiopia and so should federalist forces be pan-Ethiopia.
TPLF should reject the current political map of Ethiopia. Oromos and Somalis are occupying land that never belonged to them. TPLF should be fair to Amharas. Amharas are not enemies of Tigray.
TPLF is not politically prepared for the fight for Ethiopia. It is a militarist group which hopes to crush all opposition with their guns.
It is stupid that TPLF has not formed a transitional government as opposed to Abiy's illegal government.
War is not a tea party. It cost human lives and the economic consequence of war is immense. It acceptable to lead a jutst war, but there should a strategy and a tactic , which we do not see now in TPLF. It's leader says he is fighting for self-determination, which might mean separation. But this is not what Tigray people want. They want justice and a government that represents them. they do not want to separate from Ethiopia.
