I understand brother. It is indeed sad to see them suffer as a result of mostly their own "leaders" greed, lust for money and power, and so on. TPLF's transgressions against pretty much every neighbor within Ethiopia and the Horn resulted in them being isolated, marginalized and surrounded by hostile foes with scores to settle. They didn't want to coexist in peace with fellow Ethiopians but instead wanted to exploit, subjugate and oppress them.. now they are seeing the fruits that they themselves harvested. Sad but avoidable at the same time.
I hope Tigrayans take a lesson from this tragic ordeal. Do not allow your heroes and freedom fighters to turn into oppressors who exploit and subjugate others in your name/the name of Tigray and Tigrayans. Condemn their crimes and acts of oppression as opposed to blindly backing them because they're your ethnic kin and because you benefit from their innumerable amount of crimes.
The way it looks now, Tigrayans will never ascend to their former position of ruling over others, which is good for the entire region including for themselves. They can contemplate independence but that'd make their situation even worse because what would their borders be and how can they build a viable economy while potentially surrounded on all sides by enemies?
Hmmm. A tough predicament indeed.
Also,
Abiy didn't agree to demarcate borders? Did he not publicly agree to implement the Algiers decision that awarded Badme to Eritrea?
You have made big progress over the years unlike the above characters. They still angry and only understand limited profanities.
Well done Sadacha.
We are pretty much on the same point but if Tigray repents we will lift them from isolations.
Isolation is only Amhara interests, why weaken the little kid talking on the much bigger bully?
This is an Amhara-Tigrai war portrayed by Bahir Dar and Abiy to look like Ethiopia vs foreign powers.
While we reject return of TPLF, we draw a fine line and differentiate the difference between Amhara's attempts to exterminate Tigray and vending TPLF off.
This is what's making genocidal Amhara uneasy.
As an Oromo, I do not have problems with Tigrayans, or with Amhara's, the problem was, or is, with the TPLF. I do not expect Tigrayans as a whole nation, to apologize or ''repent,'' for things they had nothing to do with, but unfortunately, since their leaders committed crimes in their name, while the Tigrayans didn't even do as much as protesting with Oromos, Amhara's, and others to condemn those crimes; the People of Tigray were punished as a collective. Leaders, whether they be in Oromia, Amhara, Tigray, Somali state, etc, come and go, but the country, the people, will always be there, will always be neighbors, so I believe that people-to-people relations are more important, than the interests of leaders.
Tigrayans are indeed being collectively punished: Do I wish for that to happen? No, of course not, nobody with a heart, would want to see mothers and children be hungry and suffer, but the Tigrayan's as a whole should have chose justice and solidarity with other Ethiopians, to avoid the situation they're in. This could have been avoided, however, since it is the situation now, they should learn from their lessons, and proceed to try and rectify the problems. This is my advice. Work with your fellow Ethiopians, Tigrayans, because you know, as I know, as even the TPLF elites that remain, know: that your fate, your well being, your prosperity, is more attainable, within the context of a bigger unit, or family-which is Ethiopia. You can be independent, if you want, but even then, you would need to be at peace with Afars and Amharas, perhaps Eritrea, if you wish to focus more on development, and less on war.
If the goal is indeed, as you said, to exterminate Tigray and her people, we should all condemn it-the same way we condemn TPLF for their transgressions. It's quite simple, we should condemn wrongdoing regardless of who does it, even if our own children oppress others, we should condemn it & stop it. BUT, of course, humans for the most part tend to side with their tribe, ethnicity, etc, even in wrong-doing and criminal mischief. It's why Amhara nationalists do not condemn crimes committed by Haile Selassie, it's why some of my own Oromo people may hesitate to condemn some OLF members for their crimes, or even the OPDO's crimes, it's why tigrayans do not condemn tplf's crimes, etc etc etc.
I do not want to see Tigray isolated, but their decisions seem to have got them to where they are now. Their leaders decided to crush any true, popular parties in the various states [OLF in Oromia, ONLF in Somali region, etc], and then installed puppets who would be subservienent to their interests in those regions. Now, look, the same way they did that to others, now Abiy's PP wants to install Tigrayan puppets in Tigray, aka Tigray PP, to rule them! Ironic, ain't it?!
Thank you. While I agree that, Hawdian is most likely a TPLF Cyber Cadre, Tigrayans are still Ethiopians, and despite their mistakes of being silent as the TPLF committed numerous crimes against Amhara's, Oromo's, and others; we should not let our hatred and anger blind us to the truth and being fair. We would not like to see Amhara's, collectively, being punished for the actions of their leaders, same goes for my Oromo people.
TPLF's leaders/criminals should face justice, but let's be fair: what about the other EPRDF members who were helping them loot and kill for years? Do we overlook some of them and punish some of them? Is that fair? OR is it ''selective justice''? Can a corrupt EPRDF system of governance be reformed simply by persecuting some of them? Or? I am not quite sure. I do not have all the answers, but at the same time, I do not like weakening ourselves by internal wars, as Egypt, Sudan, and the White men behind them, being excited and plotting evil against us all.
