If your enemy chose to face you on a given field (front) then give it the option and face it there.

If its choice is a given means (weapons), then let it have it and use the same means for yourself.

Why did TPLF chose Wollo as a primary front of its aggression to dismantle Ethiopia? I am not a military expert and not on the scene but from what I observe from distance is that the enemy might have been able to infiltrate the Ethiopian Defense Forces better on this front. We have been hearing again and again about its near perfect use of war propaganda ahead of the actual war and then use a psychological warfare against the national force. I don't know why this has been more fruitful on this front than on the rest of the fronts that the entity opened against the nation but one possible reason could be taking the advantage of the animosity it has been sowing between the different sections of the truly multi-cultural and multi-religious society of the Wollo region. It might have used the seams of non animosity now to its advantage and made it one of it.

In comparison Gonder and Afar turned out to be not so easy to create a similar animosity and the reason why the entity couldn't succeed there.

Now the question is if TPLF is using infiltration as an effective tool, then the government side has also no option but use the same means and face the enemy on the front it is waiting for it, using the same tooling. For this I am asking myself now what the so called civilian Tigreans living in other parts of the country in their hundreds of thousands, if not millions, are doing to defend the country they too call home? Why are they not able or not willing to open the linkage for such a goal here? Where do they stand? Does the man currently serving as the Minister of Defense of the nation also have any sizeable portion of the society he represents as followers? Does he or doesn't he? If he has, then which side of the divide are they on? If he doesn't then what is the meaning of making him take the office of such a high profile in a country in the name of the people as someone representing them?

This is just one example, but there are many others about whom we could raise the same question. We raise the question to know where do they stand when it comes to defending the country against coordinated assault of internal and external adversaries. The issue at hand here is no more about an internal civil war between different factions on a given issue. The demand of removing a democratically elected government from office by means of violence is also coming from the UN. It is now in a public domain that the UN coordinates its actions of removing the government in Ethiopia with TPLF. Getachew Reda said recently somewhere that a high ranking official of the UN was asking him about why the generals are not coming together and tell the PM to vaccate his position, else remove him by means of violence in a coup De'éta?

This is not about supporting this or that party to the conflict, it is about safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the nation.

Many Tigreans have a historical responsibility of deciding on which side of the divide they want to stand here, before it gets too late to do so.
