Wedi tigray,
It is weekend and I love weekend
Hey! I ain't an historian but history is my hobby.
Having said that, let me throw my 2 cents worth concerning the topic of your thread.
If I were you, I would have formulated the subject of the thread to read:
THE RISE AND FALL OF TIGRAY. I tell you why:
You tigrians "inde meskerem wof" show up once every now and then but every century.
1. Your first rise was during Michael Sihul of Adwa, who was the defacto ruler of Abyssinia in Gondar (in the second half of the 18th century).
His fall was around 1780, he was outwitted by the Gondere amharas (the result: the amharas took away the power from you).
Tigray has to wait for another century.
2. Your second rise was during the reign of the headless monk kahsay mircha aka atse yohannes in the year 1873.
His fall was in the year 1889 fighting the sudanese mahdists (the result: the amharas took away the power from you)
Tigray has to wait for another century.
3. Your third rise was in the year 1991. The Eritreans put you at Menilik palace.
Your fall was in the year 2020 (the result: the oromos took away the power from you)
Perhaps your fourth rise will be a century later or in the year 2120.
Just pondering about? Why do you show up in power in Abyssinia every century? Are you cursed by abune aregawi?
