If Abiy thinks he signed the Pretoria Agreement with an illegal party it means the agreement is null and void!

No more whining.
You are a big time loser.

Ascari boy,
TPLF is alive and kicking & is the wild card( a joker) which is required by any player in Ethiopia & the Horn of Africa. The losers are Isaias and his comrade in arms including Abiy!.

The doofus though he could wave TPLF like a wand from Minilik palace as he he is so used to with B'Aden and the rest. Little did he realize that the military that he conscripted from all over, would be destroyed by Fano's might with a single year span of time. Now that the OPDO militia is in shambles, TPLF is once again back to the ring to deliver the knockout blow. Adios diablos!!

Listen to what Dr Blema is saying. TPLF has told Abiy and the international negotiators (AU, USA & EU) that if Tigray is going to continue to be part of the federal system, then they will need to participate in the national politics. They will start creating alliances with other internal actors.

I expect TPLF to say that they still believe in developmental state program. People will start to feel the full pinch of Abiy's new monetary system 6 months to 1 year from now. The options people will get in the next election is going to be Prosperity Party's Washington Consensus vs TPLF's and its new allies' Post-Washington Consensus aka Development State model or Beijing Consensus. Abiy is delaying that competition by delaying Election Board level restoration of TPLF's electoral status.


Delaying tactics ነገ ከነገ ወድያ - Abi's modus operandi

Dr Balema explained in May why PP has been delaying TPLF's reinstatement for 22 months since the signing of Pretoria Agreement

I doubt Dr.Balema is wright in saying that the TPLF designation of terrorism should have been automatically lifted after the signing of the Pretoria agreement for two reasons.

1. Article 7.2(c) the agreement only vaguely states the FDRE facilitate the removal of designation of terrorism against TPLF. I understand the meaning of the word facilitate in this context, 'help', 'guide', 'support' 'allow'. The initiative to be removed from the terrorist designation should come from TPLF.
Sure enough, TPLF applied to the NBE for its designation as a terrorist to be removed. In rejecting its application for lack of authority, TPLF was advised to apply to parliament of Ethiopia that designated it as a terrorist and only it can revoke its designation as a terrorist.
2. The Ethiopian parliament, after the pretoria Agreement, passed a new law requiring all previous armed groups who renounced violence to re-register their parties. TPLF's refusal to-register as a post-terrorist political party defies the sovereign rights of Ethiopia to make laws and implement them.

TPLF doesn't have the law on its side.
War? it can have it.

Abiy is already in quagmire in Amhara & Oromia and Egypt , Eritrea and Somalia are surrounding Ethiopia, better Abiy decided a true reconcilation with its father TPLF and save Ethiopia from disintegration!

[Affable]

Sarcasm, you still believe TPLF is synonymous with the people of Tigray. That is wrong. TPLF as a formidable political party does not and will not exist. The conference whatever show they assembled the other day was just a show.
TPLF to exist the very principle that created TPLF must exist.
I really hate to be a referee. But I say sincerely Abiy knows the current Ethiopian politics way better than the old TPLF politicians.
They might believe still they have the political juice — yours truly believe they have never had it— so that they might orchestrate a way to be relevant to Ethiopian politics.
I do not think that will happen. Tigreans to be relevant in Ethiopia’s politics, they should form a new party that is more pragmatist, forward looking, and nationalist.
The tribal politics that TPLF championed might not look having a promising future.
As a minority, Tigray should be the first to do away with it.

TPLF's last conference was illegal. Any results that came out of it will be certified illegal, null and void. TPLF cannot do anything without re-registration. It's required by the new law of the parliament of Ethiopia for groups who renounced armed struggle. TPLF removed from terrorists list as required by the Pretoria Agreement. But it has to re-register as a new party with same name or a new name post-terrorist designation. This requirement of the law will be re-enforced by security services of Ethiopia.
What then? Fight the security services?
That's war!!!
