It is sad to see a civil war ravaging Ethiopia. I have been feeling sentimental. Lately I have been binge watching the HBO historical television drama series-ROME. You can get it on HBO-on-demand if you subscribe DirecTV.
It is based on real historical figures and chronicles the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. I can't help but was thinking my country while binge watching the gripping drama.
The power plays and strategies of the three roman consuls Marcus Crassus, Pompey Magnus and Julius Caesar is interesting.....
While Julius Caesar was back to Gaul to put down a revolt, Pompey magnus conspired against him and had a total control of the Roman Senate. The Senate ordered Caesar to leave his army in Gaul and return to Rome as a private citizen. Caesar defies the order and crossed the Rubicon River with his legions.
Knowing that he has no chance against Caesar's legions, Pompey Magnus fled to Greece. Instead of pursuing Pompey to Greece, Caesar neutralized Pompey's supporters in Spain to protect his rear. CAESAR WALKS TO ROME WITHOUT A BATTLE!
Now let's talk about Debreporno's strategy:
If he succeeded on totally controlling the Northern Command, would he have marched on Asmara before Addis to protect his rear?
Let's have a civilized discussion on military strategy!
