Should Eritrea participate in the peace process of Ethiopia?
It depends…
The question should be will participating or mediating in the peace process achieve or take us towards the national goal of elimination of the national security threat… if it does take us towards our goal then so be it.
Don’t forget negotiations and peace can bring end of tplf too.( limited thinking will look through the lense of war brings defeat and end of the enemy, but peace might bring end of the enemy too)
There’s too many ways to skin a cat…compare the pro and con before taking a ridge position
My personal take is: if tplf agrees to recognize our borders and stops it’s propaganda of lies against Eritrea and stop being telalaki of the ferenjis. And knowing tplf won’t survive in a peaceful neighborhood in tiny Tigray without wolkayit, raya, badme plus lost 900+ Youth to gain the territories lost… a revolt coming to chigray.
Eritrea to survive will always need to be armed equally with Ethiopia (Ethiopia state will always be a formidable threat not terrorist like tplf), but tplf is a minor threat from now on and pacifying it through peace or war which ever tool is used should be welcomed.
My proposal for long term security of Eritrea is build a wall and plant a 100 meter wide from wall towards Eritrea cactus

trees on the border with tiny Tigray plus 5 meter diches in between… then open the borders with Gonder humera and Burre Assab … irreverent junta should not hold peacefully economic integration of the two countries hostage… think pass tplf
I’ve been surprised many times by the veteran shabias and I have confidence they will do the right thing for the home land.
Happy Sunday to y’all
