I hope that you will survive the next round of “law enforcement” operation the army is readying to conduct with the support of your faithful friends, those drones that spit fire with amazing precision. Otherwise, you will join your Godfathers either in hell or jail. So long and good luck!

By – Abebe Gelaw

First of all, I wish you a speedy recovery as you seem to be deeply troubled and traumatized that the TPLF, which played God in Ethiopia for nearly thirty years, has been shattered into pieces under your own eyes.

I am so sorry that you feel orphaned as your “giant” Godfathers like Sebhat Nega, Abay Woldu, Abay Tsehaye, Seyoum Mesfin, not to mention the evil genius Meles Zenawi, are either in hell or in jail. So sorry again that you had to run around to hide in the hellish wilderness of Tigray while fleeing to save your pathetic life as the heroic Ethiopian National Defense Force rose up in rage and gave your myopic TPLF leadership a taste of its own medicine.

I can tell that the shock therapy our heroic army has given you is so disorienting that you were blabbering and rambling in your latest episode of bedtime tall tales. Given the traumatic circumstances, you should be forgiven for trying to insult the collective intelligence of the good people of Ethiopia.

Firstly, unless you have been suffering from amnesia, your starting point to talk about the tragedy that befell the good people of Tigray should be the madness of your fascistic terrorist group. Drunk with arrogance and ignorance, you made one of the most idiotic and trecherous decisions ever heard anywhere in the world on November 3, 2020.

You chose to attack and destroy the federal army Northern Command. You slaughtered, demobilized, humiliated, cruelly and cowardly mistreated our brothers and sisters that have spent over twenty odd years guarding the borders and outbacks of Tigray. Unfortunately, it was the same army that was made a fodder for the reckless war between Weyane and Shabiya over Badme, a useless “two-donkey” village, as Michela Wrong once called it.

Secondly, while regrouping and committing acts of banditry is one thing, you will never be able to conclude this war with a victory lap in Addis. This is because the people of Amhara who fed you and joined you in the fight against the Derg, will never give you a path to Addis let alone a free ride to power once again after what you have done to them for so long. The same is true to Oromos and other ethnic groups including the good people of Afar. They will fight you to death instead of being enslaved and oppressed by TPLF’s aparthied regime once more.

Thirdly, you know very well that the TPLF is under siege. As it can never make a friend, it is good at making enemies. So who are going to be your strategic allies to take you out of the siege. The Eritreans? Amaras? Afaris, the Oromo or the Sudanese people? Maybe you are hoping and praying that your friends in Cairo will come to your rescue.

Fourthly, you will never get reliable supply routes. The little gas the army left behind when it decided to leave Tigray for your idiotic wisdom of administration will run out soon. The bullets, the batteries, the bombs etc. will run out. The only thing you have is an ample supply of Tigrian youth and kids that you push into the flames of a raging war to save your arse.

Fifthly, the people of Ethiopia are mobilizing from every corner. They are saying never again. It seems your situation is akin to the Nazis, your ideological cousins. Like the Nazi, you are facing the Battle of Stalingrad. The only difference is that we are in 2021 while you are still stuck with a Hitlerite mindset.

The only way out of the quagmire and the humanitarian calamity you brought upon the people of Tigray, and by extension Ethiopia, is to end this reckless and idiotic war of attrition. You need to surrender rather than causing further mayhem.

Last but not least, you said, “We are so unique.” This is actually a case of the proverbial baboon who thinks that her reddish bottom is amazingly beautiful and unique. It is because she has never seen it. Let others judge.

What is unique about mass killings, starting devastating wars, creating chaos, committing endless crimes, looting and ransacking a nation, betraying your own country and exposing your own people to the shame of famine once again. How is dying with starvation in this day and age a proud moment in history? What is so unique about a backward and uncivilized proclivity to terrorising and brutalizing the poor people of Ethiopia?

I am sure the real people, whom you are forcing to die for your stupid cause are facing the ugly fangs of starvation, are crying in horror. I am sure they won’t say that they are soooo unique. They would rather curse the TPLF day and night for all the suffering and misery it has put them through ruthlessly, endlessly and needlessly for nearly five decades.

I hope that you will survive the next round of “law enforcement” operation the army is readying to conduct with the support of your faithful friends, those drones that spit fire with amazing precision. Otherwise, you will join your Godfathers either in hell or jail.

So long and good luck!
