Ethiopian forces should not be hesitant to take the battle inside the city to spare the people and its buildings. The coward TPLF fighters will be hiding behind women skirt and children and firing their gun as they did in many towns and cities ; however, the Ethiopian forces should be heavily handed and distroy every building or house that they get fired upon. Only then the people of Mekele would hand over the cowards to spare their own family and houses. Assad of Syria became victorious in Aleppo and Hom cities because of the heavy handed by completely ruined those cities because the residents were pro the terrorists and did not heed the warning of the Syrian government to hand over them or else they would be destroyed with them. Mekele should look like Allapo and Agames would learn the hard way not to allying themselves with the terrorist ever again.
I am mad that Shirre seems unscathed, its residents should have seen what war is look like so that they never again hide terrorist in their cities in the future.
