The current war is not against TPLF - it is against Ethiopia, which was economically much more developed 3 years ago

The war in Tigray is well planned. It is not against TPLF. It is against Tigray domianted Ethiopia. The war will weaken Ethiopia's economy.
Tigrayans are the victims of this war. No one is sure whether Ethiopia will come out of this crisis.
TPLF dominated Ethiopia could have been transformed without any war to a more democratic federal or unitary state. Abiy Ahmed and Issayas Afeworqi wanted to weaken Tigray by attacking TPLF.
Tigray has resisted with heroism. But the enemy had much more resources and the facilities for strategic withdrawal were very limited. By clearing Western Tigray from Eritrea and Abiy Ahmed's troops, an excess could have been made. The problem is Sudan is not clearly against Issayas and Abiy Ahmed. This could change in the future as Europe and USA are distancing from Ethiopia and Eritrea's rulers.
