The Higher They Rise, The Harder They Fall.
TPLF has crushed itself under its own weight. It schemed on wreaking havoc in Ethiopia to grab power “invited” as a peacekeeper when the international community kneels to its brinkmanship. Getachew threatened we will disintegrate Ethiopia with the message primarily directed at the US/EU/UN so they’d make an intervention group ready.
The gravest miscalculation in politics and the worst temper tantrum for losing the candy called power (in the history of the world) became a movie directed by TPLF, produced by the jeganu frenzy tegadaly-wannabes micromanaged by anger and emotion (no cause) and the confused diaspora attack dogs who have grown fed with a staple of empty bravado.
But which sequel movie has ever been successful?
Its sinister plans unraveled and the rest is history. TPLF has degenerated to rebel without a cause. TPLF which was on life support since the death of Meles is has become barren with ideas and officially killed Tigray in 2020-2021.
Now with no brain that springs ideas to perpetuate TPLF rule, only thing TPLF is left with is licking its wound while massaging its pride. And the hood thing for Abiy, TPLF has reduced the people into non-thinkers and impotent of asking why? It has cookie cut the mentality with “hade hizbi hade libi” mantra making all to be followers than thinkers outside the box.
Back to the point, so the destruction of all the factories, the reduction of infrastructure to rubbles, the loss of all those resources, all for naught!
But the most important loss and maiming of all those youth and the trauma survivors live with?
Do you remember what that General Raya beer said. We didn’t run to Addis to win but to pressure international community to intervene! OMG flanked to right and left by army you send all those youth on suicide mission?
So who in the right mind doesn’t know the answer to ትግራይ ትስዕር or ትግራይ ትክሰር?

How come you sound like eden 
Re: ትግራይ ትስዕር or ትግራይ ትክሰር?
And imagine the billions of dollars Meles amassed under EFFORT which has now become the waste of Debretsion and where all involved are stashing their shares. Abiy’s genius is that he didn’t come after everything for 2 years until TPLF drops the ball and started the war. Now EFFORT is in shake down until it drops the last dime. Politics is the art of the possible but TPLF dinosaurs, instead of saving the % that could be saved, they gambled with 
% and looky what they’re left with!
This is what you call ትግራይ ትስዕር or ትግራይ ትክሰር?

Why is it more half Tigrians (Amharas from Wolkayit and North Wollo) posing as Tigrians in the past started claiming to be Amharas in recent weeks. One of them was bitter telling me that (now) his father is not even a Tigrian and he is an Amhara and that people in his extended family are now lining up as on opposite sides and fought with enmity he found abhorrent. (Funny thing was this guy referred to Wolkayit as just ‘Mierab’ not ‘Mierab Tigray’. He shied away and skipped the Tigray part which is telling that that land has become controversial not only internationally but even in the minds of TIGRIANS) And now when the fed is allocating money for Tigray reconstruction numerous opponents of Abiy are lining up to get the money. With the people leaving Tigray like Eritreans left Isayas’s tyrant, is Tigray to end up eroded?
Re: ትግራይ ትስዕር or ትግራይ ትክሰር?
What does it take to recover and reconstruct and provide basic necessities for the people of Tigray? We know citizens have no voice because the vanguard TPLF is the babysitter who is not fired even if she’s molesting the kids. Imagine TPLF is the manager you hired for your business or the driver for your minibus? When have you fired him? A loooooong time ago.
But still what are thinkers trying to shape as ideas for Tigray’s future? How to recover or still wallowing in wonderland and (in John Mayer’s words, waiting on the world to change?) Or do something whole time is on your side?

Abiy and Amhara region putting Tigrian refugees in Wrebabu Wollo camp - an area where TPLF killed many people during its invasion. If any refugee succeeds escaping the local people will have him. The takeaway:
(1) people function differently than politics. If it were for politicians of all sides, how could Tigraans relocate to Amhara, Afar and Eritrea lands?
(2) TPLF’s misadventure has not only hurt Tigrians inside it’s region but is leaving the people a legacy of damaged relations even with the Wollo people who’re the most ethnic-religion-blind and tolerant people in north Ethiopia.

Re: ትግራይ ትስዕር or ትግራይ ትክሰር?
There is something of a saying which goes like "there is a counter-story to a given story" (something like in the sense of rebuttal or refute) and in that case your story could be a perfect counter-story to the so called ተራራዉን የደረመሰዉ ትዉልድ (?, I am not sure about the exact title of the book anymore) that was a good-selling book in Ethiopia before decades, I guess. I didn't have the book but it was told by many people around back then.
If that was the case, then your "counter-story" here is a perfect candidate to retell that story, from a different angel.
If I were a (good) writer I would have taken this title (topic) readily and indulged myself into it more deeply.
TPLF and its current actors are going to be part of history very soon, the current actors in Ethiopian politics will be no more around in relatively short time. This story will be vividly told again and again for generations to come, not only in Ethiopia but also beyond, as part of many scientific disciplines of human study.
Part of that study will also be the so called Ethiopian diaspora, which thought of itself a privileged section of the society erstwhile but suddenly found itself in a rather lower strata of human consciousness of the Ethiopian society at large.
It seems to me the Ethiopian diaspora will be around as a tool to play around for many years to come, now it is being played by the US-lawmaking body, yesterdy it was being played around by the so called Ethiopian opposition forces of the different stripes, including TPLF and others before TPLF.
If someone may decide to take on this topic to write a book, then a chapter or more will be dedicated to the Ethiopian diaspora and try to answer if this section is a blessing or a curse to the society it came from.

BBC writes:
“Foraged wild fruits, which people did not used to eat, are now on sale at roadside stalls.
We have been told to plant vegetables in our compound and we are working on it. The problem though is that we have to get hold of water.
We used to buy a 200-litre barrel of water to get us through the week, but now we can't afford it and instead we're getting water from shallow wells.
New shoes or clothes for the children and eating meat have become luxuries.
Running water and electric power are limited and they come on and off throughout the day - sometimes days can go by without either. Many businesses in central Mekelle are shuttered but people are selling fruit and vegetables in front of them.
As a result, people have started selling off their assets such as cars, furniture and jewellery to buy food. And they are forced to sell at a huge discount.
A 21-carat gold ring, which once cost $64 can be sold for as little as $12. A car can go for $7,000 even though it used to cost $16,000.
Once people have run out of things to sell they have turned to begging and there are so many beggars on streets - the majority are mothers with children.
Medical services have also run out of drugs.
Those with chronic health conditions are dying because of a lack of medicine.
People living with HIV are receiving their antiretroviral tablets intermittently.
Celebrations such as religious feasts and weddings that used to be such a vital part of the social fabric have become a distant memory.”

A glimpse of the misery people are undergoing in Mekelle. It’s is sad that Abyssinians boast of living together for 3,000 years and that they’re the authentic bearers of Christianity/Islam and the owners of alphabet blablabla but they can’t even see eye to eye and forgive one another and keep on damaging the future of the innocent and enjoy their mettelalef and seeing the bad of their neighbors. Sad for the kids and the helpless. The clash of egotistical politicians.

Does it make sense anymore? Should the US/EU/UN punish Tegaru for the sins of their guardian demigods or the vanguard party TPLF only because they attempted to destabilize a country that means something to the West? I think the world/US should forgive for the sake of the people. People are mostly pawns of their political elites. Civilians are suffering so much and the world is telling Abiy to keep the heat on TPLF until the people would have it enough.
As to me, the west should stop punishing Tegaru only hoping TPLF would learn a lesson. The human cost is what is unexpected and we have not seen this much inhumanity in recent memory. Well it’s Friday and I swallowed a glass or two and being sentimental but this is too much. People will never be wiped out. Leaders will. But damage people for politics, this is too much.
Some might think people who sympathize with Tegaru is only a Tegaru or an Eritrean opposition or an Oromo loser or an Amhara asmesay. No this is not about politics or ethnicity. This is about the people imprisoned and brutalized by Debrestion and Getachew and General Raya Beer. Pray for the helpless!
P.S. I’have been thinking to arrange an annual drinking party starting from 2025 which I will give the details in another 🧵

When you see the human toll juxtaposed with the vain jeganu hysteria of Diaspora Tegaru (including the Tegaru in sheep cloth like Misraq, Abaymado, Tarik, Il-Zeminamin, and others) you can’t help but feel sad for the guinea pig humans on the ground.
Keep the vain James Bond 007 mission limited to ER forum while showcasing your failure on a personal level. But know you can’t compensate your failures by doubling down on this forum. Reality is a far cry from your fictional dream house you live in extracting 0rgasm by your delightful ER posts.

The Bible talks of people who have no shepherd. How much had to be destroyed and burnt down before they find leaders who come out of their tegadaly shell and ego and start leaving something worthwhile to their people. Scorch-earth is policy of TPLF all its life. But is the cost worth it anymore? Lost EFFORT, lost economic standing, lost political clout, lost respect for its constituency, lost international business network, exposed to Ethiopians as untrustworthy…. Now losing more of health systems, greenery… and the people without shepherds seem to be in spiraling hopelessness thinking all is lost and nothing is worth saving anymore.

https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/us ... 022-04-29/U.S. urges restoration of essential services in Ethiopia's Tigray
"We now urge the parties... to seize the opportunity to advance a negotiated ceasefire, including the necessary security arrangements, and call for the restoration of essential services in Tigray on an urgent basis," he said in a statement.
Even America is resorting to “urging” as US has run out of all means to pressurize Meshrefet. US seems to get it that the gaslighting suicide run to Ankober fell flat on its face and TPLF/TDF was basically decimated at Kasagita and then at Gashena. The “highway run” to Menelik’s Ankober was a suicide mission of gaslighting even General Raya Beer admitted. Here is Getachew Chemical Ali massaging Tegaru ego they take TPLF’s word as the Bible scripture:
https://borkena.com/2021/12/03/ethiopia ... and-wollo/TPLF spokesman Getachew Reda indirectly insinuated his forces have killed thousands. He wrote on social media ” The televised bravado of Abiy Ahmed is being effectively taken care of by our forces on all fronts. Tens of thousands of lives are being wasted away to satisfy the larger-than-life ego of the tyrant in Arat Kilo. We will see what tomorrow has in store for him.”
