- As a transition, keep existing Federal Ethiopia as is with Tigray one of the Federal states, but move the seat of the federal government to Mekelle immediately.
- Transform Ethiopia to hybrid Federated/Confederated structure within 5 years with its capital city in Axum as follows:
- By allowing the existing bigger federal states (e.g., Oromia, Amhara and Somalia) to be sovereign, after referendum as per the existing constitution, and willingly integrate them under one union (Confederated Ethiopia modeled after the European Union, to the extent it is relevant), establishing new Kimant and Agew federal states, and keep other existing federal states (Tigray as is, forming a hybrid of Federated/Confederated/ Ethiopia. Thinking only about the independence of Tigray and ignoring the rest of Ethiopia is same as throwing the baby with the bathwater and TPLF must lead and allocate the required resources for the formation of the new Ethiopia. The Confederated Ethiopia could progressively include willing countries in the Horn of Africa such as Eritrea, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, and Djibouti.
- Thirty years ago, TPLF/EPRDF decided to govern Ethiopia from Addis Ababa, Menelik palace. That decision separated TPLF from its home base Tigray, marginalized Tigray from development and we all remember how that worked against TPLF during the Oromia riots. The physical separation of TPLF from its home base also made TPLF weak since it was not replenishing the energy it needed from the Tigray people. Based on the historical role Axum played as a corner stone of Ethiopia and knowing the fact that TPLF has to be always within the Tigray people to be effective in a sustainable manner, it is mandatory that the new Federated/Confederated Ethiopia that will be established under the leadership TPLF to have its head offices established in the historic city of Axum (This is similar to Brussels, the EU has no official Capital but Brussels hosts the official seats of various arms of the European Union). Addis Ababa must be a “Federal State” within the Federated/Confederated Ethiopia and continue as a political, diplomatic, and commercial center and metropolitan diversified city serving all the citizens of the Federated/Confederated Ethiopia in an equitable manner without any special claim by Oromos or Amharas. The capital city for the possible new sovereign Oromia (that may be established and confederated with Ethiopia) to be located out of Addis Ababa.
o Tigray may not declare independence since it can indirectly assure its sovereignty from the Federal Ethiopia. However, Oromia, Amhara, Sidama and Somalia could be allowed to be independent states as per the constitution and willingly confederate with Ethiopia (de facto Tigray). Smaller regions such as Afar, Gambelia, Benishangul-Gumz, Welayta, other Southern people, Agew and Kimant could be part of the Federal States as part of the Hybrid Federal/Confederated Ethiopia anchored in Tigray.
o Tigray will ultimately become the political/democratic, cultural, economic and a technology center of the Horn of Africa within the next 20 to 30 years and the anchor and pillar of the Federated/Confederated Ethiopia. Tigray as the nucleus of the new Ethiopia will always directly or indirectly control the army and will have a MOSSAD like intelligence unit that safeguards Tigrayans and federal Ethiopia interests both in Tigray and elsewhere. The confederation could have a fully integrated & liberalized boundary, economy, monetary policy and common currency & passport and cross utilization and joint development of strategic infrastructure like electric power, multimodal transportation, education, etc. Since Oromos have dream of establishing a sovereign state, Tigray and Oromia could play the leading role in transforming Federal Ethiopia to Federated/Confederated Ethiopia.

Fugur qomal agame,

From that timid beggar, you have become very hyper lately. You are trying to hoodwink Ethiopians. Much less for an agame to spearhead changes, Ethiopians have your very existence in question, on this earth. Whatever the outcome, Ethiopia will not be the same. Forget about Axum to be the capital city. All Abbiy has to do is, convene the parliament and bestow your independence without the welqait lands. That means forever war with Ethiopia. You can not play guerilla fighter since you will be an independent country with Axum as your tiny Tigrayan capital city. All this chest pumping out of fear will have to stop. Eritrea is a sovereign country, and we know how deceitful you likes are. There is no such thing as going from a federal structure to confederation. Ethiopians will not buy it. The UN won't buy it either. I know you are suffering mentally. Like your brother Halafi Mengedi, you are joking on the blood of the Tigrayan youth. Go and fight for what you believe if you really have the guts. Qomal.

You can use this. It may take care of the fear and deceit out of ya.

Ascari slave, I have subscribed for you the following bitter medicine that will bring lasting healing to your adventure to destroy Ethiopia as a foot soldier of Egypt!:

TPLF must also consider taking possession of the strip of land in Eritrea from Assab/Djibouti border to the historical Axumite port Adulis, securing ports both to Tigray and Afar/Ethiopia as a strategic penalty for the tens of billions of dollars damage and the genocidal and destructive war crime Eritrea committed against Tigray and Ethiopia.

Qomal agame,

TPLF is a rag tag army that practices first world war human wave tactics. The minute the agame man steps in Eritrea, the minute he meets his maker. Eritrean sovereignty over its territories as celebrated in the halls of the United Nations. Deceitful agame, you can dream. Dreams do not cost anything. Key words you need to understand. Sovereignty, rag tag army, the Security Council, The UN charters. regional bandits sacrificing youth in human waves, etcc... Don't forget Ethiopians hate you. Abbiy needs to convene the parliament and bestow you, your independence. That would be kind, since Ethiopians hate your guts. Amharas need to fight the guerilla war in Tigray and attack you at their convenience. It really is about time. Coward, join the fight. Stop playing with the blood of the Tigrayan youth.
Again, you need this to take care of your madness.

Ascari mercenary slave, you claimed same when you were defeated in the 1998/2000 war and you are claiming same in 2021. Covering up defeat is your habit! Continue with your old habit!
