" The hundreds of thousands of Tigrayans sacrificed for the struggle including in the ongoing war is going to be in vain unless Tigray succeeds to build a corruption intolerant democratic governance system. As Tigray ignited the 1st torch for the decolonization of the colonized world, it has the potential to build a vibrant democracy that could be a model for the whole Africa. Africans are waiting for that!

o Support the establishment of council of elders and all political parties that establish code of conduct on how political parties operate in Tigray. Those political parties that violate the agreed code of conduct (divisive, hate based politics, sponsored by outsiders etc.)) must be banned.

o Conduct free and fair competitive elections periodically.

o Free media, respect for individual rights, corruption free and efficient justice system".

Is that an independent Tigray?
You can’t have it both ways. Declare independence first and then talk about Tigray later.

That part I highlighted in red should be a BIG privilege and with great privileges comes also great responsibility. Tigray could be a place to look up on for emulation but the current generation of politicians there have failed the people BIG, they don't even obey the rule of the law, they think they are above the law. How can then in light of this Africa is waiting for current day Tigray?

Tigray (those acting in the name of Tigray) have just concluded their horrendous mission of hording something 1 million youth to their death and it seems they are warming up for the next one more round of the same. Such a place can't be something to emulate from to others!

Ascari Right ,

Read the short article in full to find answer for your question. Following is extracted to give you some insight!



" In my view all the above options are possible, but we need to identify the one that meets the aspirations of the Tigray people, most feasible and strategically rewarding path without disintegrating Ethiopia. Generations of Tigrayans and all other Ethiopians have died and invested all their life for the territorial integrity and development of Ethiopia and it is my strong conviction and advise to all key stakeholders including TPLF to work toward a new structure that maintains or expands the existing territory of Ethiopia by converting most of the existing federal states to sovereign states and willingly integrate them under one Union(Ethiopian Union modeled after the European Union, to the extent it is relevant). Thinking only about the independence of Tigray and ignoring the rest of Ethiopia is like throwing the baby with the bathwater and TPLF has to allocate the required resources to help the “Tigray minus Ethiopia” remains peaceful with itself and its neighbors. Ethiopian Union could progressively include willing countries in the Horn of Africa such as Eritrea, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia and Djibouti. Therefore, I recommend the following:

- A sovereign Tigray confederated with Ethiopia and with unconditional right to leave the confederation whenever it wants. Tigray will ultimately become the political/democratic, cultural, economic and a technology center of the Horn of Africa within the next 20 to 30 years and one of the anchors and pillars of the Ethiopian Union".

Ethiopia doesn’t need a lazy tribalist Tigray who devoted their lives to war and conflict.

Either dismantle tribalism or move on with it. You just can’t have it both ways.

With tribalism either you remain an impoverished and war addict society or a poor banana republic.

Right,

You need to go back to the research & drawing board as you have not understood what Ethiopia means and who Ethiopians are!
