4. You frame the war as the outcome of “TPLF rebellion” while ignoring the documented systematic alienation of Tigray & prolonged warplanning by Abiy, Amhara elites & Isaias hence essentially justifying #TigrayGenocide [3/4]

A textbook example of winning the battle but losing the war. This dude just realized the Ethiopianist camp, in a vein effort 2 militarily erase Tigrayan nationalism, has ended up committing suicide. Ethiopianism has been purged from the minds of all; its now a bankrupt ...

The issue is beyond apology. A proper apology 4 complicity in genocide is good 4 closure & a peaceful separation but is not enough 2 rectify ties with Tigray. EOTC has made it clear Tigray ppl are not among its flock. It's time they get served by a church that actually care 4 em.

As it stands, the TPLF is at its weakest, with its assets frozen by the fed, unable to generate income from its barely surviving members, and strangled by TIRA from siphoning gov’t funds. Furthermore, the backlash from losing a war, an economic & humanitarian crisis, [1/n]

@MarksSimon @TomGardner18 @MarksSimon , please change the term 'Tigray province' as there's no provincial system in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian constitution speaks of 'sovereign regional states' with their own flags and anthems. 'Rebels from the region' is also pregnant with bias; why not just 'Tigray forces'?

Some form of merger with PP is the most it can expect, something it could have done 2 years ago. TDF can still divorce itself from TPLF and continue the struggle. But that would be playing the enemy’s game as that would be an ideal excuse to impose what it considers its 7/n

Some of the reasons 4 TOTC's demand 4 autonomy: - EOTC not only deserted Tigray ppl but campaigned, blessed & financed the genocidal war - EOTC not only failed 2 call 4 peace but actively tried 2 sabotage efforts 2 end the war etc Tigray Christians cause 4 autonomous church is...

every other form and on every field a Tigrayan ventures. They can only take Tigray from our children if we let them. If we manage to pass the torch of resistance to the next generation, we will be the ones who will ultimately triumph. 3nd

it is what the wise ass Tigrayan opposition are implicitly hinting it ought 2 have done [glide with the times]. A typically emotional response wd be: ‘who cares about ungrateful Ethiopia, they should've sold it off 2 highest bidder’. But the deeper issue at stake is coming [7/n]

Can't wait to read Tigrayan romance war novels. Hope aspiring Tigrayan novelists are putting the final touches on their literary masterpiece somewhere. No doubt there are many magnificent stories of our war heroes of love, bravery, sacrifice & loyalty waiting to be immortalized.

The enemy wanted Tigray to be history. let's not forget #TigraySiege is imposed cos subduing/erasing it didn't work. This is not a time 4 ego but one 4 humble reflection, sober-minded analysis & cautious decisions. Survival now precedes & assures the independence of tomorrow.

It has now become apparent that the fed is deliberately delaying the demobilization of TDF combatants. while the more immediate reason for this is to lessen the pressure for not fulfilling its end of the bargain, i.e. restoring Tigray's territories & repatriating IDPs, [1/2]

Reflections on the fed-Tigray dialogue [tread] 1. Both the political leaders [TPLF] & the military leadership are intimately aware of & are involved in the US mediated behind closed doors negotiations [potential deal] between the fed & Tigray government.👇

ultimate triumph - erasing Tigray. Now Tigray ppl need 2 abandon the military aspect of the war. The truce affords them limited yet crucial room to sustain their existence. They ought not expect 2 much from the political settlement as there are few chips left to bargain with 8/n

@tigistAA @reda_getachew What @reda_getachew is doing 2 TPLF is from the same playbook as Abiy did 2 EPRDF. Anyone who still doesn't see that is blind. Whether that's good depends on the person. I'm seeing lately that some consider it a success if TPLF is gone even at the expense of destroying Tigray.

Right now, TPLF-IRA is locked in a fierce political battle with the fed. Tigrayan christians must stand behind the fathers to protect their cherished Tigray Orthodox Church from being used as a bargaining chip for political gains.

That is not to say they shouldn’t wrestle for every dime they can get out of it. They would need to adapt to current reality and transform their energy to build a state no enemy can conquer, a state not limited by territory or confined by politics. 9/n

Forgiveness is a must. Our forgiveness ought not hinge on quality of the apology or sincerity of the repentance but on the teachings of the Lord, We forgive so we don't remain entangled in toxic ties, so we can move on, But we mustn't forget so that it never happens again [1/2]
