What is the simple Ethiopian position on the issue? It is simple, it is on the books. Any party armed or not if it wants to be part of the Ethiopian national government, it must disarm itself, form a civilian political party and be elected and take seat in the national parliament representing the people that sent it. That is it. There is no other fake or illusional delusional path to power for any woyane or Shene thug.
As for Ethiopia, she is on the driver's seat! Why? Any political idiot knows that negotiation is politics by peaceful means and war is politics by violent means. Hence, Ethiopia can conduct the war on TPLF Junta and can engage in any kind of talk in the mean time. For any honest observer, Ethiopia has already won the war and the west knows it - the sticking issue being that of negotiating safe exist for the top criminal TPLF goons.
