Let's review what happened last time they fought...These guys are resilient I’ll give them that…. But they’re fucking retarded toothey lost 10% of their population last time yet they want to fight again
They lost about 600k civilians bro not just fighting men. Do you genuinely think Eritrea will ever ally with tplf lmao?Let's review what happened last time they fought...
TPLF+Wollo OLA+Agaw militias VS ENDF+Amhara militias (Pre-FANO)+Eritrea+Afar
Now lets see the situation now...
TPLF+Eritrea+OLF+FANO+Agaw militias VS ENDF+Afar
Not looking good for Addis, and remember that even with the long odds the ENDF led anti-Woyane coalition was pushed to 60 miles of Addis at once point, this time it might be very different.
Yes Tigray was harmed extensively during the war, but 10%? Tigray has 6 million people... only 100-200k civilians died at most. Also do not trust PP sources which say 600,000 Woyane troops died.
600k civilians? Never saw such a stat- source??????They lost about 600k civilians bro not just fighting men.
Eritrea is allied to the TPLF, if you follow horn of africa politics this is an open secret at this point.Do you genuinely think Eritrea will ever ally with tplf lmao?

Tigray and Eritrea have reduced their garrisons on their borders substantially to the point of only maintaining border checkpoints.
Both Tigrayan and Eritrean officials, generals, and diplomats have been seen in each others capitals.
Tigray and Eritrea opened up embassies WITH EACH OTHER (note that Tigray is a region so they are going out of their way here).
Cross-border trade between Tigray and Eritrea has not been effected by Ethiopian or Eritrean policy towards each other, in fact it has increased. which implies that Eritrea has a trade policy with Ethiopia and then a trade policy with Tigray (note that Tigray-Ethiopia trade relations have been declining hard recently).
Eritrea has the right to monitor Tigray and make sure it's up to code with the Pretoria agreement (specifically the disarmament sections), it has not done so.
Everything indicates to an alliance between these two!
Shit like this is why you don't trust AI, the source for the 600,000 figure is former Nigerian military dictator Obasanjo (who himself cited nothing, he just said that one day!)
Tigray are also crusaders….
That is incorrect Ghent updated their numbers. https://martinplaut.com/2022/10/19/new-estimate-of-the-tigray-death-toll/Shit like this is why you don't trust AI, the source for the 600,000 figure is former Nigerian military dictator Obasanjo (who himself cited nothing, he just said that one day!)
According to Ghent University however the range is 162,000–378,000 killed.
600k is the upper estimate, if 600k Tigrayans actually died there would be no TPLF today. Imagine if 600k Somalis died in the ONLF insurgency there would be no ONLF today (I used Galbeed because Galbeed and Tigray have similar populations)That is incorrect Ghent updated their numbers. https://martinplaut.com/2022/10/19/new-estimate-of-the-tigray-death-toll/
They flew too close to the sun. Up to 600k dead, nearly 10% of women raped, fertile section of the region and border to sudan annexed and cleansed, million IDPs, infrastructure destroyed, 56k children underwent malnutrition etc. Tigray will not recover which is why you see them praying for Eritreans to change their tune.
What’s with the deni pfp??TPLF woyanes in aakhiro lo diro waye that will speed up the kala qeeybis of Ethiopia wa cadowga kowad somalida for the last century dhib wadiida dadkaynu wa ayaga
Compared to what the TPLF was before they basically no longer exist. They are a tertiary threat now which is why Abiy will now happily work with them over Amharas or Eritreans.600k is the upper estimate, if 600k Tigrayans actually died there would be no TPLF today.

Yes western Tigray was ethnically cleansed, but 600k??? Impossible
This part is generally incorrect, the TPLF's organizational structure, it's control of the Tigray Defense Forces, the confidence of the Tigrayan bourgeoise, and it's ideological and narrative control over the whole of Tigray has not been shaken and have actually rebounded since the war.Compared to what the TPLF was before they basically no longer exist.

This part is generally true, but how exactly does this make Tigray weaker? This actually makes the people's of Tigray more unified in their opposition to Addis if anything- if we are talking in the strategic sense then Tigray had to forfeit large sums of money to help it's female population recuperate and lost considerable amounts of productivity- but in exchange has all but erased internal oppositions and dual loyalties to Addis and the Prosperity Party, if war starts tomorrow there will be no issues in the home front (while Ethiopia's home front is utterly shattered).600k isnt even the worst part. We know atleast 60k Tigray women were held as sex slaves and 150k raped overall. The Tigray would have been better off having their top 10 cities nuked.

what’s wrong with it?What’s with the deni pfp??
Let's use the memory section of our heads and remember how the ground war actually played out now? The ENDF really gained nothing in Tigray at great cost of life. If you remember, Wolkait was taken by Amhara militias and the big cities of the north were taken by EDF (with the ENDF providing cannon fodder). If you remember the offensives in the Amhara region you will recall that the TDF was able to maneuver quite easily and smash ENDF positions handily, they pushed them pretty close to Addis. They only turned that around when t Amharic militias came to their aid- then of course there was the air element but the fact that the Amharic countryside stopped being free-space for Tigray was massive.@Mohamedamiin120 you greatly over value the TPLFs gains in that war. I really cant stress that enough.
They went through something many times worse than Gaza and gained the ability to control east Tigray? I dont think you realize the TPLF haven’t struggled to have internal support/control for around 40 years now atleast.

Agree with everything you mentioned except the ENDF air defence, it’s is very good relatively to the region and i believe the Air force is ranked 52nd in the world. The main setbacks are their outdated resources.Ethiopian air power is very very overrated in all honesty, the EDF pouring one-hunded-thousand men into Adwa might have been more important to the TPLF then sporadic bombing- if you remember correctly they threw in the towel the day after the EDF rapidly took almost every single city of any importance in central and east Tigray.
Also if drones and planes could win wars then why is the ENDF losing in Amhara currently? Fano literally has a dishka shortage if anything they could be a great example if the ENDF actually had the capability to destroy armies from the air. Same could be said about Shabaab but they don't put that much focus on Somalia these days.
