if not, give Abbiy the false hope of federation, use it as a stick to get the upper hand. I am sure Abbiy is pressuring you for a quick union to silence international critics. Remember the Dina fiasco. That was Abbiy talking. Work with the West, Pull Eritrean armed forces out of Tigray if there are any. Kick out those coward yes men, they are not capable of helping you if they can not be honest with you. The head aches you got out of the likes of Mesfin, Petros , Durue, Bitweded, Sherriffo is what helped you bring independence for the Eritrean people. Do it for the people of Eritrea, do it for your family, and finally, do it for yourself. Most of all, do it for the new generation.
