If what is happening is by design, then I think Abiy has played it brilliantly. By withdrawing his forces and letting the dumb Agames do what they have done, he has gotten Ethiopians so mad that they are now determined to unite and eradicate the thugs. In addition, the Western masters of the TPLF have been permanently silenced. Ethiopians can now screw the Agames at leisure.

So was this the plan all along? Draw the Agames deeper and deeper by withdrawing and then mobilizing all your forces to cut them off and finish them off? It appears so. The plan had the added benefit that it has silenced the Western meddlers. The Agames, if fact, shot themselves when they invaded Afar and Amhara. Now, no one can use the famine card or genocide card. The fighting is happening outside Tigray.

If Abiy planned this, then I say brilliant!

The Waiting and patient approach was done deliberately. Your analysis is correct.
