The New Tigray lost about 50 % of land from the old Tigray province but only gained about 1/4 X of the area of the Old Tigray Province.
. Hence if the old map of Tigray Province area is X:
- X/2 was lost to Amhara and Afar
- X/4 was gained from Western Tigray and Southern Tigray
Therefore the current Tigray map( partially controlled by enemy forces) areas is: (X-X/2) + X/4 = 3/4 X , which is 75 % the Old Tigray province in area. It is also important to note that Tigray lost the mineral resources and thermal power rich and tourist attraction land to the Afar state.
The Way forward: Any future discussion about West and South Tigray should include the holistic picture of what Tigray gained and lost on the new TPLF/ EPRDF Map. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=339011
