Abiy followed the advise of Isaias and Neamin Zeleke and he expected the war with TPLF will be short and swift. What we have seen in reality is as predicted by Siye Abraha and Taddese Werede, since the Tigray war has given birth to more conflicts/wars and instabilities and could end with a full blown civil war with high risk of disintegration of Ethiopia.
Neamin Zeleke broadcasted a genocide on Tigray through ESAT/ Mesay Mekonnen that the war is going to be 95 million against 5 million and Tigray shall be finished. However, Tigray has prevailed.
