Dear Sarcasm:
Nobody wants this "war" but it shall continue until those who started it stop
I do not expect that anyone would convince you but yourself. Nor has the "war" reached a "stalemate". It is in its different phase. No one knows when a "war" ends until it ends. The adversaries in the "war" do have irreconcilable differences. There cannot be a successful reconciliation between them unless both sides possess facts and principles that they share--i.e. commonly acknowledge and believe in. For instance, you know that the TPLF started the "war" but I heard Tsadqan say that his/your adversaries started it. What do you think of Tsadqan's claim? What do you think the Federal Government of Etiyopiya should have done when the TPLF, without clear warning, first assaulted and massacred thousands(?) of the Fed's army, scattered the rest just to take their weapons by force and come out dominant. Do you believe that that TPLF's action was right, legitimate, or legal? The TPLF might have assumed that its adversaries were ready to attack it, but actually they did not, and TPLF was the first to attack. Do you acknowledge or deny this fact? Nobody has heard any remorse or apology from you, or the TPLF & Co. to Etiyopiya(ns) on the consequences of such a cruel and treasonous act.
The Federal Government of Etiyopiya, like any other sovereign State, has the duty and responsibility for self-defense and law enforcement within its territory, and that is what it did. How did you convince yourself that the Federal Government was wrong to react the way it did? You often also accuse the Etiyopiyan Federal Government of "genocide in Tigraiy", but any action of any party cannot be categorized as "genocide" without proving that the perpetrator had a "specific intent to destroy in whole or in part" a certain defined population.
https://www.icc-cpi.int The Federal Government and its allies had no such an intent whatsoever before, during or after November 3-4, 2020.
TPLF & Co. claim that Tigraiy belongs exclusively to Tigraiyans, while the Federal Government and many Etiyopiyans (including Tigraiyans) believe that Tigraiy is part of Etiyopiya, Tigraiyans are Etiyopiyans, and Tigraiyans are part of a united multi-ethnic country in which any citizen can live or do business in any location of their choice---i.e. Tigraiy is exclusively Etiyopiyan and cannot be, necessarily, exclusively Tigraiyan.
The TPLF & Co. claim that they are the legitimately elected Government of Tigraiy, but the whole Federal Government rejects that claim because the "election" was neither fair, nor open, or certified by the Etiyopiyan Election Board as the Constitution requires. How do you convince yourself that TPLF's claim to be considered as a legitimate Government of Tigraiy is reasonable or acceptable?
Please explain honestly, if you have any honesty (free of deceit) left in you.

The war has reached a dangerous deadly
stalemate(deadlock; deadend; a situation offering no prospects of progress ) and will evolve into a
protracted war. The war has been going on for over 200 days.
- If you going to argue the war should continue, how long do you envisage the war will take?
- What happens if we hit that time and the war has not ended?
- Please convince me how continuing the war will benefit Ethiopia with all of the resources & lives on both sides coming out of the country's scarce and limited pool?
Thanks in advance.
