Between 2021 and 2022 Abiy Ahmed and Isaias Afwerki used Afar forces (including Liyu police and also more than 20,000 fighters / militants from Eritrea and Djibouti) in their war in Tigray. The Afar position and demands is to accept the current situation (divided and living) in three states (Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti) or establishment of an independent Afar State. Five groups are working on this issue:

1. Ethiopia: Ethiopia demands that local militias be disarmed, and that those coming from outside the country leave the region and go to where they originally came from (Eritrea and Djibouti). Oromo officials in Addis Ababa have told the Afar that they should not miss this opportunity (the current situation between Ethiopia and Eritrea) and they should unite their people in/under one state (the new Oromo state that will replace Ethiopia). Afar politicians and elites welcomed this proposal.

2. Eritrea: Eritrea wants to use these forces against Ethiopia, which Ethiopia does not welcome. Eritrea supports three groups (Amhara Fano, Afar militias, and indirectly Tigray fighters), and uses them against Ethiopia, and this is what worries Oromo leaders.

3. Oromos: OPDO officials in Addis Ababa realize that they cannot rule the country anymore, and at any time power could shift to either the Amhara or Tigray forces, and hence they have a plan to establish their own state but to include territories from Afar, Tigray and Amhara regions. To achieve this, they need direct access and control to the Red Sea (the territory between Assab and Massawa in Eritrea), but through the Afar people.

4. Tigrayans: The TPLF is happy with the way things are and does not want peace between Ethiopia and Eritrea, so it is using its Afar friends and the “Tigraway” principle that unites the Tigray people of Ethiopia and Eritrea.

5. The owners of the issue: Afars demand is not what the two countries or the TPLF want, but to have an independent state (Afar government in the Afar Triangle). Afars believe that working with the Oromo state is better than living under Eritrea and Djibouti. Afar politicians and goblin elites support this proposal, but things could change overnight.

Amharas & Tigrayans in Tigray & Eritrea do not support Abiy’s war get Assab & Eritrea. New trends/threats: once the war in Amhara stops, there will be a war between Oromos / Afars and Eritrea, followed by a war between the Oromos and the Afars.

Abiy Ahmed and Isaias Afwerki''s plans to create problems between the Afar people and neighboring countries (Eritrea and Djibouti) is a threat to peace and stability in the Horn of Africa region. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to this matter.

[Tigray People]

You failed to mentioned the heroic Tigray People chased the Afar region special forces, Eritreans army, Ethiopian army killing most of them and the left overs fled out of Afar region.

Particularly the Afar army was crushed by the heroic Tigray People.

We will never never forget how the Banda afars people became the slaves of Amhara overnight to declare wars on the Tigray People.

But we smashed those banda coward Afar special forces along with the rest of the invaders.

That is why today the coward Afar people don't talk about wars with Tigray People again.but we will never forget what they did from 2018-2022.

The day will come we will take back the entire fake Afar region the Tigray People created 27 years ago for the security of the Tigray People.

Awet Nehafash Tigray People!!

Awet Nehafash Tigray People!!

This is true and no one reported because they were used by two regimes that still using them for the same purpose. However, never trust Tigray politicians who kiss women, whose eyebrows meet in the middle.
