It's clear that Ethiopia had no army and TPLF was controlling everything.

I was opposed to bringing Eritreans and Amhara Liyu/FANO inside Tigray but it makes sense now - Ethiopia had no army.

All the work was done by the Eritreans. They smashed the TPLF. No wonder TPLF is terrified of facing Wolkait or Badme.

Those Eritreans controlled the whole Tigray and ENDF was none existent. I remember seeing CNN Sudanese chick gaining access/permit from Ethiopians to travel to Adwa/Axum but was turned back by the Eritreans.

I am sure you all saw that footage. Ethiopia was under the Eritreans in Tigray.

When they left, the little ENDF fled.

So Abiy has to create force now having cleaned up.

TPLF is terrified of Eritreans that's why they are not even looking at Badme, Wolkait-Tegedie or Himora. Eritrea lost almost no troops and destroyed them hard.

Abiy didn't let Eritreans in to collaborate but he had no troops and Eritreans stepped in.

Nevertheless, the war on TPLF has brought the Horn except TPLF and few naked Rastafarians together.

Eritrea is training 5,000 troops for Somalia. God knows how many for Ethiopia.

There are Somalis in Wollo with the Amhara.

Amhara and Eritreans are in Homra/Wolkayt.

Afar, Amhara and Oromo are together.

This never happened in the known history of the Horn.

That itself is worth celebrating.

Hawdian,

Your view ignores the OLA and others. OLA has reportedly controlled the boarder with Kenya. OLA also is said to have blocked key roads. Remember there's coordination among TDF (TPLF) and the OLA. Reports also indicate others are just as divided like the Oromo elite is divided within.

So I feel like you are misreading the landscape mainly due to the Federal government having an advantage in controlling banks, tanks, media and using it in a way that makes it look like it has all on its sides. All or most will walk away when the Federal government gets weaker and weaker by the civil war and international pressure.

Time will tell for sure if this is true but I think it's highly likely that the federal government will lose. What is important to focus on is what new arrangement replaces it.

You using large fonts and bold because you are trying to compensate for lack of clarity in your thought process. The truth is Eritrean society is divided when it comes to this war and the way it is conducted. The government makes it look like Eritrea is against Tigray but that's not the reality if you are considering society or the elite.

p.s. i find your use of what you consider derogatory word betrays the impact of colonial legacy of divided and rule as well as self hate. Your hate of Age.ame or Tegaru is self hate resulting from our colonial past. Read books or do therapy - it's good for your self discovery and mental health

I welcome all your opinions but be good if you could back it up with something.

OLA is deeply divided, lacks morality, agenda and vision.

Even West doesn't want Oromo-oriented group and that's why they never included Jawar, Lemma or any Oromo in prison in any of their agendas despite visiting Addis.

Even your Getachew said OLA/OLF are useless yesterday. What has changed? Was he lying then?



They haven't cut anything and there's no significant trade between Addis and Nairobi.

When I talk about the Horn

Mustafa-Isaias

Somali, Sidama, Oromo, Afar, Amhara and Eritrean all have joint forces.

OLA-TPLF isn't even official just the usual trick.

I didn't see any community outside of Tigray protesting for Tigray. That speaks greatly how the Horn feels about Tigray.

eden,

I use to feel that way in the past but, not anymore; Eritreans as a group particularly many of the secessionists have evolved in the last 30 years. They've started feeling more responsible towards its nation Eritrea similar to how the Amhara attaches itself to its nation; meaning not subscribing to identity politics; I truly believe Eritreans sympathy towards the Amhara's plight today is genuine and comes from that common denominator with Ethiopians. Remember, they use to despise Ethiopian nationalism in the past to the point of land locking us with TPLF participation. Most Tigreans today have turned to be the owners of that old hate politics.

Having said that, most Tigreans have deteriorated to primordial state. As a minority, they had that insecure sense of feeling naturally in the first place; due to their setting up of the stupid ethnic federation in Ethiopia and ethnic constitution with its associated junk has taken them back, sorry to say, to an archaic era they belong today.

I agree that both Eritreans/Ethiopians are divided by the "interahamwe" led by TPLF. After all, it's a painful internal genocidal civil war among ourselves.
