What happened with the TPLF's Forecast of Entering into Addis Ababa before end of the Rainy Season? Is it now a missed opportunity? What a nail biter.
After TPLF rocking in the rainy Kiremt season (where the odds were unfavorable to ENDF and the ill-armed, ill-organized Amhara farmer Militia) and made significant push toward Bahir Dar and Afar-Djibouti, the West was highly expectant TPLF would be flooding the streets of Addis Ababa and claim victory. The West and their Tigre diaspora supporters had enough reason to dream so, sadly the favorable Kiremt season passed by without TPLF gaining any meaningful route to victory. It is sunset for Kirmet season and now, dawn for the dry Fall season where the ground is ready to floor the speed of ENDF and Amhara militia to hunt down TPLF rag tags. The TPLF's Kiremt season party is over, after it enjoyed much of the ሊጥ from the Amhara peasants'. The end of Kiremt marks the end of TPLF. However, there is no question Tigray people will remain rebel looters, they will remain so even if peace prevail. What most folks don't understand is the issue in Tigray has never been a question democracy or good governance, it is because they can't produce enough bread for all their mouths'. The stronger has to snatch something from the weaker - I think this has been the culture for millennia, although it changed its face due to change of time. All the reasons we heard from Woyane for decades is just a pretext. The word Woyane literally means a vagabond of organized looters and rebels - a sustainable culture of living by looting communities, individuals or groups. Honestly, I am very pessimistic about changing or transforming the culture of the Tigray province, even in time of peace.
