In fact, it is worth asking, what kind of a wicked organization the tplf was, its methods of lies and deception, the level of crimes, incl. genocide it has committed before its defeat, who started the war, who deliberately targeted civilians etc.

You are exactly right. THey during those 30 years committed atrocities, mass killings (documented) of ethnic groups and protesting students, political opponents were jailed. It was awful. Now when Abiy created a united party not based on ethnicity but shared values, a centrist-liberal unity party, they refused to join, unlike the other ethnic-based parties, why? Because it would undermine their power, so they plotted and then struck a military base, launched missiles into Eritrea and civilian cities, Abiy had to send the army to retrieve them as they were actively attempting to take over the federal government, as for the first time in 30 years they did not win 100% of the seats and wanted to continue their rule.

@@BabiletubeAbdulrahmanmmohamed we were at our weakest point as a country and the fact that we were attacked was sad by Egypt pushing you on similar to how they are pushing Sudan now it doesn’t matter who is stronger and with more resolve, while you are more famous for that when compared with Sudan I don’t think ethiopia the country that invaded and overthrew the ICC(you are welcome) in less than a month can be discounted as weak, anyways we need this region to be stable so our people can grow. Somalia especially needs that there are more somalians living outside of Somalia than in. So stop hating on ethiopia we honestly don’t hate on you I found put about this hatred for Ethiopia on twitter and I was dissapointed not gonna lie

This so true. Even the survivors are telling the same story. Almost every country is with Tigray. Tigray will always win

[@menassies3224]

Keep dreaming it’s the same craziness that led the tplf to attack their country if they wanted Tigray to win they would have just used article 35 they wanted to control ethiopia by using Tigray the people of Tigray were viewed as a bridge for their power and money hungry hearts anyways our country has a real chance to be a powerhouse nation that beats Egypt in2060 has already beaten Sudan and will compete with Nigeria despite the fact that they’ll have three times our population. Isn’t that more exciting the fact that we will be rejuvenated economically and won’t be the pity party that we’re in the 20th century.

False. The government of Ethiopia conducted a law and order operation after the so called “Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF)” the bitter and ruthless former ruling party ruthlessly and viciously attacked on November 4 the Ethiopian National Defense Force’s Northern Command where the TPLF massacred soldiers of non Tigrayan origin. www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUKKBN28R1I8

You need to change your title. First, this is a law enforcement operation against the TPLF. The TPLF sparked the war by attacking the army. The TPLF hadn't had a military more than the federal government. You can't tell civilians from supporters and members of the TPLF. They intentionally giving you false and deceiving information to tarnish the image of Ethiopian government. I understand you are trying to make a name for yourself, but you are inciting ethnic violence by reporting false information

[@johnder4147]

The only CONFIRMED massacre took place the beginning of November, in the town of Mai-Kadra. Google it please and spread awareness, as there is much conflicting information about this massacre. While both sides agree 600-700 civilians (in no way involved in the conflict) were murdered, the Ethiopian refugees, through interviews, report that the killings were done by abiys government and Amhara militia, carried out agains Tigrayans. While amnesty international and the Ethiopian human rights commission report have found in their investigation that a TPLF youth group named “Samir” along with local Tigray law enforcement, carried out this massacre against Amharas. The TPLF soldiers were beaten by federal forces nearby a local town, and subsequently committed this atrocity. Why are we trusting refugees who fled during the conflict, as opposed to thorough investigation of the event? The investigation was done by Daniel Bekele, former head of African human rights commission? I pray Abiy opens up communications, as the truth must be learned about the atrocities committed in maikadra. So that our community may mourn.

[@johnder4147]

@Yohannes fisseha well the report given by amnesty international and the ERHC state that TPLF soldiers retreated to the town of maikadra after defeat by abiys forces, where this massacre against Amhara day laborers (living in maikadra) took place.
