The shortest distance between two points is not always a straight line. To reach your goal, you have to take some zig zagging path, a slow spiral around one point and then a loop into the other. When leaving college, most students think that they will get their dream job by joining some graduate scheme with a top paying company. But that is not the way most people manage to get their dream jobs. They probably had to start contracting at various low paying companies until they work their way up.

Most battles are often won by the indirect approach. The First World War is considered the worst war by many as it had a lot of frontal assaults. Direct frontal assaults is a strategy that is bound to fail at great cost in lives. Agegnehu Teshager said last month that he will be using human wave battle strategy. So a full frontal assault on Eritrean, ENDF and Amhara arimes in Western Tigray would be stupid. It will have unimaginable level of human costs. If you know the geography of the area, it has lots of wide planes with less hills and mountains. Frontal assault on such plains would have high human cost. Therefore, TDF is engaging ENDF and Amhara Region Armies in other areas of Amhara to weaken the armies. TDF used the same stragegy in Central Tigray before the final assault around Shewate Hugum in South Central Tigray.

There are very few straight lines in nature. Birds don't fly on straight lines. Migrating birds travel with unerring inaccuracy- in the short term- but always arrive at their destination in another continent.

sarc. Yes, The shortest possible distance b/n two points is a straight line but in military science, the shortest distance is where your enemy’s weakest point is.

Here is an excerpt from Sun Tzu’s the Art of War “If we wish to fight, the enemy can be forced to an engagement even though he be sheltered behind a high rampart and a deep ditch. All we need do is attack some other place that he will be obliged to relieve.”

Enemy has declared humera as the do-or-die location, and have turned the region into a ticking bomb. Layers of fortified defence points rigged with thousands of bombs. Also, you need to understand the region is flat, no hills or mountains.This region is basically an ideal location to play defence. Any offensive mobilization into this region is a guaranteed suicide mission. TDF understood this very well and chose plan-B, cutting the supply route to this area. Their current mission towards the bahirdar - gondar route is an extension of this mission to cut the supply route to Humera. Yes, it is a long process but this is where the enemy is weak.

You two agames save this thread for future. We shall see if agames can defy simple logic. Both ENDF & Amhata Liyu are swelling up in number with recruites to match your human wave tactic and even pass that one million mark you came up. You will loss massive number for young men which will create massive imbalance in male to female ratio in Tigray. Which means one Somali man will have 10 prostitute agames working for him creating children like our dear brother Hawdian
