Lying to others to get your way as long as you get away with it may help you, but lying to yourself is a deadly sin. If you exaggerate your abilities and minimize your deficiencies constantly, then when you lose, you lose big and permanently. That is what happened to the TPLF. Dishonesty had become such an integral part of their thinking that even in the face of stark realities, they were unable to see the truth. They, for example, failed to defeat Eritrea although they had the full support of the Ethiopian people. In fact, Ethiopia was never as united as it was in the 1998-2000 war. But even then, the TPLF did not have the requisite military abilities to defeat Eritrea. When they failed, they started to fabricate reasons like Meles saved Eritrea and so on. No, Meles did not save Eritrea. Eritrean generals defeated the fara generals like Tsadqan and Siye.

But did the TPLF learn from that? No. They are being lead, if he is alive that ia, by Tsadqan, one of the most incompetent military leaders the world had seen. That I say is the TPLF not being honest with themselves. In fact, every word that a tigrayan utters these days is a lie.
