There are about 1 million Eritreans in Ethiopia. Most of them were deported to their home country in 1998 But there are still a community of Eritreans who stand against Ethiopia. they see Ethiopia as their archenemy. This is reflected in the social interactions and business. The Eritrean in Ethiopia are organized by the government of Eritrea. they contributed money annually to Eritrea and participate in all political activities Eritrea organizes. some of them are refugees but they do support the government in Asmara.

The policy followed by EPRDF was right. Eritreans could come to Ethiopia with visas. The government needs to document their whereabouts and activities. This is difficult to do for a country like Ethiopia which seems not to have the resources necessary to document foreigners living in the country.

Ethiopians rely too much on themselves and ignore Eritreans living in Ethiopia. But this has cost Ethiopia the current war in Tigray and is supported by Eritrea against Tigray and Oromo.

Ethiopia should deport Eritreans and allow only those who are pro-Ethiopia to work and live.

I don't think you are thinking logically. Don't externalize Ethiopian problems. This war is the result of Abiy's refusal to share power with other political parties when his 5 year term ended. He imprisoned those he can jail and declared war against those he can not imprison. The solution is for Ethiopia to have all inclusive transitional government. Working to end the war is better than planning for ongiong war. Isaias and his soldiers are the ones you need to tell to leave Ethiopia. Poor Eritrean refugees have been betrayed by Ethiopia which allowed Isaias's soldiers to enter refugee camps in Tigray and forcibly return some of them. Ethiopia has failed its international and national obligation to protect refugees. 15,000 refugees are still missing! This is a shameful act that future Ethiopian leaders would need to apologies to humanity.

Eritrea is not at war with Tigray. Every Eritrean political party, association, website, church, mahber etc is against the war. Eritrean Catholic church inside Asmara issued a statement calling for negotiated solution between the Federal government and Tigray government. So Isaias and Abiy are at war with Tigray.

Ethiopia is at war with itself. It is disheartening to see a great nation cannibalize itself. But Ethiopians are consumed by hate to realize that.

Ethiopia is at war with itself, but external factors have made it worse. Eritrea has been training armed groups to overthrow TPLF-EPRDF. Ginbot 7, patriotic 7, TPDM, etc are all trained by Eritrea and Arab countries.

Deporting the Eritreans from Ethiopia will cut the networking and subsersive activities Eritreans and Arabs have been carryng out. As we speak, Eritrea controls the security in Ethiopia. Erirean security men and women guard Abiy Ahmed and his hench men. this is a national tragedy for Ethiopia. Eritrea uses Ethiopian fighter planes to bomb tigray. Abiy Ahmed is helpless and he can do nothing about as he is breathing with Issayas's lungs. I think Abiy ahmed might declare war against Eritrea and deport Eritreans if he had some space. He will otherwise loose everything and Ethiopia is loosing a lot of wealth to finance a foreign army from Eritrea, which costs us a lot of money.

By deporting Eritreans, we can cut the umbilical cord of abiy ahmed's dependency, giving Ethiopians a space to think about their future. We should stand against Eritrea and not against Tigray. Tigray has fought for Ethiopia and should be respected and honoured. Eritrea has always been fighting against Ethiopia and now against Tigray.
