It is tiresome, the cat-n-mouse game between ENDF the & "Adwa rats". It really is. I am completely unimpressed. More so by the reward posted for the capture of these people. It is tiresome and embarrassing.
A more interesting news would be political resolution for the various grievances of the peoples and nationalities of "Tigray".
"Tigray" IS NOT a name of a people (nation). It is an amoeba like entity ( sometimes a place and sometimes a nation for no apparent reason ) created in the second half of the 19th century. Although its core constituent is the "Tigre" ethnic group, it has also absorbed the Irob, Kunama, Agew (Tembien), Kimant(Abergele), Agame and various other peoples.
A lot of people think of "Tigray" as Orthodox Christian. It is actually home to very ancient Muslim communities. One of these communities is the Muslims of Axum. This is a community that is banned from even building a mosque. And this is done so for no other reason than to perpetuate the wrong notion that "Tigray" is a monolithic society.
"Tigray" is NOT a monolithic society. And the Axum muslims have demonstrated that. They are the people that started the revolution against TPLF. And they should be the first beneficiaries of the change that took place. And it is high time they get their place of worship named after their own sun, General Samura Yunus.
