I hope Tigrayans, as a whole, sat down and learned lessons from this...

Now, of course, if war crimes indeed occur against Tigrayans, I condemn them, however, I hope Tigrayans learned that:
Their elites, their leaders, and the innumerable amounts of crimes they've committed, in the name of tigray and tigrayans, albeit it was more for their own personal power and bank accounts, are what ended up paving the path for this war to occur. Essentially, they've made enemies of all their neighbors, which is not smart, to say the least.
You cannot marginalize everyone-from the Oromo to the Amhara, and of course, we all know you've burned your bridge with the Eritrean leadership, and expect all to be well. Even when your leaders retreated, did they expect that no one would, at the very least, want to avenge their people, and the tens of thousands who were maimed, etc, by the tplf and its allies? I am not saying the Eritrean army is an army of infallible angels, but knowing what the tplf did, from claiming Eritrean lands, planning if possible to overthrow their govt and install a puppet regime, to trying to isolate eritrea and weaken it, etc, how can you not expect them to not want to avenge their country, their people, their blood?!
how can they not get involved militarily, when we all know, it's not in their interests, to see their arch-enemy once again capture the capital and become the rulers?
I am not absolving the opd, andm, and others either. I am of the opinion, that they should be held accountable too. Only the innocents among them, should be good to go, but the ones who enabled the rule of the tplf for so long, are just as guilty, or close to it. the tplf is first in order of guilt, then their enablers from among the oromo, amhara, the south, etc....
to sum it: tigrayans, if you remain with ethiopia, remember, you cannot have your injera and doro tibs, and eat it too... you have to share, you have to have power that is in accordance with your population, what you contribute, etc... if an oromo contributes 30 cows to the party, and you contribute 6, and the amhara bring 20... who deserves more $$$ ? it's simple.
