"የማንፈልገው ባዕድ ሰራዊት ገባ።"
Maj. Gen Belay addressed questions raised in connection with looted properties and assured the people of Tigray that the properties looted by Ethiopians can’t go anywhere as it is in our country and it must be returned.” However, he said that, “But what has been given to Eritrean soldiers/ aliens ባዕድ / ባዕዳዊ is another matter, as I said before, it is another matter.” He has called Eritrean soldiers ባዕድ / ባዕዳዊ although it is because of them he is still in Mekelle. He assured them his army would never loot the people's property, “because we know you are our people anytime”. I remember Dr Abey rhetorically asked his Parliament, “If Eritrean was not there for us, where would we be now?”
PM Abiy has to admit that Eritrea is invited to Tigray War, otherwise the ramifications for Eri are serious in future
Eritrean army is killing innocent Tigrayans at this very moment in Tigray in contravention of UN charters. Its presence in Tigray is unlawful, uninvited and criminal.
To cross an international border can only be done under self defense or consent of the host country. Otherwise, it is considered unlawful. It would have severe consequences. The only way we can mitigate that is if PM Abiy Ahmed tell the world that he invited the Eritrean army, I hope Moxie or MM come up with a fitting adage to make the position of PM Abiy clear. Eritrea, if concerned of security [which is a lie], then it only needs to move to reinforce the border area. In other words, countries do that all the time, they move troops to the border areas of their territory.
Axum, Adwa, Adigrat, Meqelle ... are not border areas. I know some Eritreans (on both sides) are assuming that their untoward sentiments against Tigrayans is somewhat justification of committing violence and distraction against them in this scale. This is not a valid war for Eritrea. Eritrea's very presence in Tigray is a dangerous violation of UN charters, this will have serious ramifications for the country in the times ahead. The massacres, lootings, rapes and the rest are in addition to the basic offense of invading Tigray. If PMAA says he invited the Eritrean troops however, that changes everything and he takes all responsibility.
It seems that the punishments for invading Tigray have began. The full future ramifications of Isaias's adventurism in Tigray are still unknown.
