If Mekele had not been encircled, Baghdad Bob would have ignored the report. Rather the very day the report became public he came out to spread his lies. There is no mystery here: The west and TPLF tries to buy time, and the Ethiopian government will not give it to them. It is time to wrap this mess up now.

The tone of the whole article is pro-Junta. You should not forget that the Economist is part of the Western supremacist system. It espouses White Surpremacist worldview.Weyane.is.dead wrote: ↑29 Oct 2022, 08:25You know it is getting bad for tplf vermin when the economist starts writing about the reality on the ground (tplf being humiliated and defeated badly)

Excerpt from The Economist :
...... Tigray’s leaders may soon relinquish control of Mekelle,
In the talks Tigray’s leaders have demanded an immediate halt in fighting (as have the AU and Western countries). But Abiy and ....... are unlikely to agree to this. Instead they seem determined ...... That was to make ongoing peace talks redundant with a decisive military victory. People familiar with the government’s plan say it is to install an interim administration in Tigray while it hunts down whatever remains of the TPLF’s leadership.

Government forces on closing on Mekelle, Tigray’s capital
It was an inauspicious start to ending a catastrophic war.
------
Hundreds of thousands are believed to have died in the war,
------
Ethiopia seems to be in no rush to talk because its forces and their Eritrean allies have made rapid gains on the battlefield. On October 17th they captured the strategic town of Shire and soon after that the historic cities of Adwa and Axum (see map). Just days later Abiy Ahmed, Ethiopia’s prime minister, proclaimed that victory was nigh. Federal forces now appear to be closing on Mekelle, Tigray’s regional capital. This raises the prospect of Tigray’s leaders, the Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), being forced to evacuate the city for the mountains ......
