Deqi,
The weyanes could have done what Abbiy is doing today. I am not saying they did the right thing. They are still paying for recognizing the State of Eritrea. The problem is the man in the house who feels he owns the country. It is not his fault for he is a very talented psychopath. The fault is at the cowardly personalities who support him. He allied with Abbiy to destroy them. He sacrificed some 40,000 young precious Eritrean lives. I am still having a bad dream aboutthe young female Eritreans who participated and died in that war. He is about to do it again. He is ready to sacrifice the elderly now. If you can not deal the main problem in your own house, the same shyyyt repeats again and again. As much as Eritreans are victims of Isayas, Tigrayans are victims as well.
Sometimes, your analysis and understanding of world affairs are narrow, childish, and incoherent.
Tigrayans can only control what is within their reach; they cannot dictate the actions of the useless Eritrean dictator or other external factors beyond their influence. In fact, I previously proposed in this same forum how they could have avoided confrontation and developed Tigray after being chased from Addis Ababa and returning to Mekelle.
This is what I said then:
Unlike any other region in Ethiopia, Tigray is more or less a [deleted] society, with 96% of its population being Tigrigna-speaking Orthodox Christians—on top of that, a population capable of work. In this kind of environment, implementing direct democracy would be easier, allowing the people to have direct control over the policies their elected officials enact. If they had implemented direct democracy, the rule of law, property rights enshrined in the law, and established independent institutions free from corruption and nepotism, they could have turned Tigray into a Switzerland of the region. They could have even attracted Eritrean investors who are currently investing their money in unstable African countries.
By allowing the border demarcation to take place, they could have neutralized the Eritrean dictator with one strategic move, rendering him powerless and useless. they are stripping him the only card he played which is, Woyane, Woyane, woyane touched my a@@s, CIA touched my clit, M-16 stared at me. The so-called Ethiopian Defense Force would have never dared to attack them because all the sophisticated weaponry was under their control. Above all, Eritreans would have been far more sympathetic to their cause. And here, I’m not talking about the fake, selfish sympathy of the Akeleguzians and other snowflakes, but real, authentic, brotherly sympathy.
But Woyane continued making one wrong decision after another. If the war was truly about Badme, as your naïve self believes, then it would have remained limited to the Badme region. However, the moment the first bullet was fired, the entire common border between Eritrea and Ethiopia—from Um-Hajer all the way to Ras Damera in Assab—became a battleground. This was not a border skirmish; it was an all-out war.
Second, your notion that Tigrayans were paying a price for recognizing Eritrea is false. First, they had neither the option nor the capability to prevent Eritrea’s recognition if they wanted to rule Ethiopia. Second, once the war started, it was Woyane officials—including Tekeda Alemu and former Ethiopian Air Force leader Abebe Tekelehaimanot—who gathered Ethiopians in Washington, D.C., and assured them that Assab would be captured within days.
For 30 years, they played into the hands of the Eritrean dictator until their demise.
