Will Tegaru have self-determination of the people, for the people, by the people? Or as TPLF always says the people don’t know what is good for them so TPLF the caretaker will decide and shove it down their throats?
The thing is the chatter about independence seems to have been tapered with the reality on the ground and the growing chorus of sane minds (like Sibhat Nega and Tegaru outside Tigray) who have cleared eye vision of what is in their best interests. What options do Tegaru have?
(1) Independence: This is a sort of the angry and emotional choice which is the modes operandi of the post-Meles TPLF that is driven by raw sentimentalism. But you can’t rule out this kind of imposition from the vanguard party that babysit 6 million people.
(2) Is independence practical? Yes independence is practical for any people but is it practically feasible in improving the lives of its citizens. I don’t have statistical figures to say anything on this.
(3) What do Tegaru who live in Finfinne and Oromia and Amhara and other regions think? I think a responsible and reasonable discussion of Tigray’s future should include the participation of these Tegaru who see things less bitterly than those inside Tigray.
(4) Is TPLF’s dream of conquering Eritrea and incorporating it under Tigray workable or is it a dream that evaporated as of late. TPLF reasoned that with the exile of the highlanders from Eritrea, the country is eroded and it was easy to vanquish them. But the recent history seems there is a solid force and people to reckon with. The recent participation of Eritrean military and the approval by most Eritreans indicates that Eritrea is much more than Isayas and not a country that could by underestimated as TPLF makes it look like. TPLF had been drunk with its own propaganda and overestimated itself and underestimated everyone else.
(5) So can Tigray live like an island and be first country to do so without sane and reasonable elite that comes to peace with its neighbors? If independence can you sustain that on a perpetual war footing?
(6) Will Ethiopia and rest of Tegaru outside Tigray accept independence without a fight? Will Tigaru would have unity when such real choices confront them?
(7) Can you plan independence based on bitterness or the national interest of your subjects? If you politicians were driven by emotion independence is the easy way out. If other leaders/people in the world were driven by the misadventures & miscalculation of TPLF dinosaurs, we would have seen 2 countries born per month and 1 nuclear bomb dropped every week. In post-Meles TPLF that had ditched pragmatism, you won’t rule out such irresponsible, and emotional decision driven by bitterness from the military leaders and their head Getachew Redda.
