The mountain labored and gave birth to a mouse
Here is some information about the proverb “The mountain labored and gave birth to a mouse”:
The meaning of laboring a mountain and giving birth to a mouse
The mountain labored and gave birth to a mouse. It is an example given to someone who expects a lot from it, but it comes with a little that is not commensurate with its size and what is expected of it. Another mountain is supposed to come out, and this is evidence of lack of achievement after much expectation.
This phrase is said when waiting for something great, a great achievement, and a great work from a person, institution, group, or anyone, but in return nothing useful came out of them, and the achievement was not as much as the effort and time spent for it.
As a student, he inspires everyone that he stays up all night and that he studies a lot, and says that he did not leave a book or a summary except for his study, and that he is a good follower of his lessons, then when the end of the year comes, we see him crown the list of failures; That is because everything that everyone was deceiving about in terms of effort is not an effort, rather it is a representation that he made some effort.
There are many institutions and companies that give birth to rats, you hear media noise about them, and many of us talk about them, announcing what they will do and not what they have accomplished. Words are more than deeds, so it seems to everyone that a beehive is working inside it, and it is originally empty in essence, even if Announcing a great activity or a great party, according to its names, the mouse suddenly appears, and the shallowness of the achievement, which was nothing but air bubbles, appears.
The story of a mountain laboring and giving birth to a mouse
It is said that once upon a time there was a group of nomadic Bedouins, who decided to rest in a valley after they were tired, so they landed in it, and when they saw many stones and small pebbles falling from the top of the mountain, they were terrified and thought that it was the result of an earthquake or a volcano. And that the mountains were about to collapse, so they ran away from him, waiting to see what would happen.
After a short while, they saw a mouse coming out of one of the cracks in the mountain and running quickly away from it, so everyone laughed at the fear that befell them, and one of their elders said: “The mountain labored and gave birth to a mouse.” While its achievement is less than expected.
In order not to fall into the trap of trampling the weak mountain, which only the mouse found to extricate it, we must accomplish a lot and talk little, then the saying will change, and it will become the travail of the mountain and begets a mountain, or perhaps achieves a giant mountain range, this is how achievement is measured and the efforts made are measured.

What do you want more than the TPLF/ TDF have done over the last two years operating from a home base of 7 million people, not internationally recognized state and surrounded by hostile enimies:
1, Militarily
1.1 They chased both Isaias and Abiy out of Tigray during the 1st round of the war within 7 months.
1.2 They almost entered Addis Abeba until they were advised not to do so by the USA
1.3 Defended Tigray and the people of Tigray for about three months until they brought down Abiy to the negotiating table and destroyed the axis of evil against Tigray through the Peace Agreement .
2. Diplomatically
They were able to convince the USA, UN, AU and the world that they are the key stakeholders in stabilizing Ethiopia and the Horn Africa and they used that as a leverage to bring Abiy to the negotiation table against the agreement & covenant he had with Isaias.
What is remaining is punishing the demon at Adi Halo and have paitence on how that is going to be implemented.
