A complete denial by some international communities of the facts that speak for themselves

FACT #1: There's no legitimate name by TDF but TPLF. Tigray is not a country to have its defense force.

FACT #2: TPLF (Tigray People’s Liberation Front) kept its name for the whole time it was in power which shows it's never had to change its goal of secession even when it was playing a vital role as the ruling party in Ethiopia. This fact shows TPLF had been using the opportunity as a steppingstone for its next move to declare independence; fortunately, the plan to smoothly transition their goal was thwarted by the will of the Ethiopian people.

FACT #3: In 2018, when most of the Ethiopian people urged for reform and the removal of TPLF from power, it should have been a strong message to heed to and adopt to the new conditions for change. The TPLF instead chose to flee to Tigray to strengthen its force of defiance, never trying to share its issues with reform (if any) with Ethiopian people.

Fact #4: In the following years, TPLF still had a chance to continue with little or no damage to the top rank who had to serve their legal dues of embezzlement in the country. (Per the PM's speeches to the Parliament)

 
FACT #5: If at all, for them to go local, they were given the chance to revive by getting their seemingly “popular” home support to be elected to the parliament, but only as regional representatives elected under the rule of law of the country.

FACT#6: Ignoring all the peaceful alternatives and beating the war drum using Tigray as a fortress, they conducted an unconstitutional local election in defiance to the warnings from the central government, filled with arrogance that proved their will to do everything in their will to destabilize the country.

FACT #7: All clues indicated the November 4th attack on northern ENDF military base from within was planned with all TPLF’s collaborators put on alert to simultaneously act; Sudan’s border attack and ONEG-Shene’s proclaimed advance to Addis being some of them.

FACT #8: If things went ahead as planned and the attack was successfully conducted, their unveiled hidden documents are a conclusive proof the country could have been in a greater turmoil by now.

FACT #9: Even their recent letter for a dialogue is filled with unacceptable preconditions.

FACT #10: If an enemy has the capacity to fight with its goal of coming to power again by all means, it's a disservice to Ethiopia's sovereignty for some international communities to severely lack the understanding of the situation to denounce TPLF. Some have even suggested shamelessly succumbing to TPLF's demands.

FACT #11: All the above Ill-intentioned maneuvers by TPLF and its cohorts gave Ethiopia justifications that helped it out to mobilize its overwhelming majority to denounce aggression. But there're still hell-bent supporters of the TPLF who can't get to grips with the denunciation of the minority junta that's ever proving to be cancerous to society.

FACT #12: The sooner the international community understands the situation in Ethiopia and makes the desperately needed corrections, the better. But expect the worst scenario to follow, otherwise. This is not a warning.  It's a fact.

I'm not posting this fact-based article because I support any party, nor am I an active participant in any politics. I'm putting out this message out of concern for the future of not only Ethiopia, but the entire region.
