5,000 middle and high level officers, and 17,000 low level officers and foot soldiers(specially commandos) who belonged to TPLF served as the core of ENDF until November 4th, when they were taken by suprize by the paranoid meshrefet government, that demobilized them when they were asleep
That way TPLF lost the Army it built for long time, that contributed to the making of the core of ENDF, and that literally built the ENDF around DEDEBIT core principles. By demobilizing Tigreans in ENDF, therefore, meshrefet virtually disarmed TPLF instantly. THIs is the untold truth in Ethiopia, a country that is being ruled by professional liars.
Fortunately, Tigray Police had recruited 5.5 brigades(22 battalions) of Tigrean Special forces and two battalions of commandos that are now the core of TDF. Tigray is therefore starting from scratch, reinventing the wheel so to speak, while wedimedhin and Meshrefet are using the Entire Arteran and Ethiopian forces( built by Tigra/Weyane, but now minus Tigray Army) against the fledgling TDF, that is already shaking the mountains like its predecessors, the 22,000-strong TPLF Army that is now under house arrest. Karma is a [deleted], is it not, yes it is catching Meshrefet and wedimedhin by their toes; well, it is like guided by this Newtonian Law:" for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
Nothing like this ever happened to a veteran guerilla Force like TPLF, that lost its own Army inside the very same corrupt Empire it fought against, defeated and transformed it to a multinational democracy, before a former TPLF water carrier illegally took power and destroyed the latter system and brought back the corrupt system of the backward old Empire that is now devouring every progress and virtue(like TPLF ARMY) made in the last 30 years,
