The way TPLF defined a “Tigrayan” and the geographic boundaries of “Tigray '' speak volumes about its intent to establish a brand new “Tigrayan” country. According to TPLF’s Manifesto, a Tigrayan is defined as anybody who speaks the Tigrinya language irrespective of wherever he or she lives. This definition implies that people speaking the Tigrinya language, living anywhere and with whatever ethnicity, are “Tigrayans”. However, to contend that, if a person speaks Tigrinya, then he/she is a “Tigrayan,'' is like saying, if one speaks English, then he/she is English, and, if one speaks Arabic, then he/she is an Arab!
