Plausible reasons why Woyanus' offensive fizzled
Posted: 02 Feb 2026, 02:44
The number one reasson why TPLF's offensive appears to have fizzled is, Eritrea did not get involved. Contrary to claims made by some, Eritrea stayed away from Agames' misadventure into Amhara land. TPLF's main agenda, when starting this offensive, was to re-steal Amhara land and to have access to Sudan through which it wants to sell its looted gold, and buy weapons. It wants to bypass Eritrea. It also despises the fact that Amharas have reclaimed their long held border with Eritrea. TPLF has always wanted to be the only go-between Eritrea and Ethiopia. It wants and craves border monopoly.
Another plausible reason is the election board's sudden decision to keep Welkait Tegede Humera in western Tigray. That may have created divisions within TPLF's ranks. Some may have used is as an opening to retreat.
Regardless, neither PP nor woyanus can be trusted. Amharas should remain steadfast in their resolve to keep and reclaim their land. Vigilance is of the essence. Right now they should demand TPLf vacate from all the lands it recently occupied, and the Amhara administrative body be restored everywhere, including in Alamata and Korem.
I have said it repeatedly before, and I will say it again, woyanus wants Amhara land by hook or crook. It wants direct access to Sudan. Abyot Ahmed knows it. He will continue to manipulate the situation to his advantage, prolong his stay in power and strengthen his Oromuma. Let one thing be clear, Abiyot Ahmed Ali does not have an Ethiopian national agenda.
