"At least seemingly" an interesting qualification .
I was reading somewhere today or yesterday the long list of wars Ethiopia waged so far in its long history and in the face of all those wars it would be difficult to not wounder how it sustained all those and made it to what it is today.
General Berhanu Jula also said somewhere just after the end of the recent war with TPLF something like "don't be the first to attack your enemy, wait and tolerance until you have got the first slap from the enemy, then you have no more choice than hitting back and that is exactly what we did in the current war with TPLF". He added "that helped us to wage a successful war", he mentionened about the motivation it gave the army in the war, which he said, could constitute about 80% of the factors to win the war.
He is the military man and can assess well, I am not but hope that the assessments of those with qualification should be right. So what should be that interesting qualification?
In essence the two gentlemen also used the same analogy and said we, the Ethiopians, will not be the first to attack anyone, only respond resolutely, after we are attacked by our adversaries.
