I thought it was the Ethiopian national army not the amhara forces. Theyre obligated to protect every part of ethiopia including tigray.The people must decide to stand with Ethiopia or with a criminal gang that massacred ENDF while the troops were asleep. Stand with Ethiopia doesn't mean support for the governing party but distance themselves from criminal TPLF. And there is no evidence for ethnic cleansing or genocide. Currently, all medias and human rights organizations have full access to Tigray but they couldn't produce prove for a systematic genocide or ethnic cleansing. Anyway, as the PM said human rights abuses will be independently investigated with the UN human rights agencies.
But don't expect ENDF yet again to sacrifice for Tigray as it did during and after the Badme war. The army has no obligation to protect people who massacre it or give full support for criminals that massacre the army while it was protecting Tigray. Even if PM Abiy wants, the army will in this case simply refuse to die for Tigray. ENDF paid heavy price for Tigray during and after the Badme war and got massacred as a thank you.
Now the people and the elite of Tigray have an obligation to make their minds and to guaranty that they will never ever do such shameful crime against ENDF. Only when we are sure that this is not gonna happen again, only then will ENDF start patrolling the border again. How can you massacre your country's soldiers while they were protecting you and expect the same soldiers to die for you against a country that sheltered the army? The decision is up to the people and the elite of Tigray.
