[Revelations]

The TPLF has its back to the wall – lacking access to the sea, friendly neighbours to retreat to, and a means to push back the campaign by the Ethiopian army and the Amhara. It is important to note that, in this difficult situation, the TPLF will look to expand into Eritrea, which could help it access supply lines that run through the Red Sea but would further internationalise the conflict. The TPLF could do so by using the common ethnic, cultural, and religious bond between Tigrayans in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Indeed, the TPLF has the support of many Eritrean Tigrayans, having long welcomed refugees who fled into Tigray to escape Afwerki’s regime.

Which TPLF is he is referring to? This wannabe expert must have missed the important news; TPLF IS DEAD and Never Ever will return.
It is also amazing that he doesn't know Eritreans were the #1 victims of the TPLF crime and cruelty for 27 years; if he is a "Horn of Africa Expert" he should have known this simple fact LOL. I have yet to see one pure Eritrean that shaded a tear for the demise of the dead TPLF. NONE. Every Eritrean is a ecstatic as Ethiopians to be abl, he e to see the death of the Junta in a such short period of time.
