PM Abiy's use of "their people / your people" instead of "our people & my people" in his warning letters to TDF

A lot of people are commenting on the PM's use of "their people / your people" when he referred to Tigray people in his communications.
The below comments is another viewpoint I found on Facebook:
A month back, Ethiopia's Chief of Staff General Birhanu Jula in his Amharic interview said "If TPLF is to continue fighting, especially if TPLF is to resort to a guerrilla fighting...well, that is not a serious problem to us; they will only bring further misery on their own people...they will only prolong the agony of their people", with a sarcastic tone, and a smile on his face;
Two days back, Ethiopian government had a press release. It contained a similar "their people" expression.
One bold truth is that Ethiopia's government doesn't consider the people of Tigray as its own!
Amazingly, the pronounced Negadras Gebrehiwot Baykedagn 120 years ago had a similar view on Minilik, who on his maximal capacity, committed a cycle of Genocide on Ethnic Tigray. We are on dejavu of history, when a modern day half-cast Dache Gobena coordinates a campaign of Genocide on Tigray.
Ethiopia's government uses possessive pronouns with TPLF and Tigray; he has never said "our people" with reference to the people of Tigray, but "their people". Ethiopian government considers itself as a colonial power, in Tigray.
That is why we insist that Ethiopia's army(and government, in general) leave Tiragy, immediately.
