News will not tell you but this is Big:

The Wierd thing about the Tigray War is that Tigray (TLF) is lead by the old Army staff of the Ethopia Army. Like this Dude : Tsadkan Gebretensae , Rebel Comander --> Chief of Staff --> Rebel Comander . While the Army is lead by total amatuers and genocidal maniacs ..

And as the Oromo Ambush on the souther Road seems to have suprised the retreating Gov. Forces ( Cauldron) , Road to Addis Abeba seems pretty open ... This might hae been the Pivotal Battle ..

We might see a genocidal Nobel Peace Recipient get slaughter in Street.

    So that's a good thing? Or is the TDF/TPLF also participating in genocide? I noticed some of the later entries in the timeline had the TDF forces killing hundreds of civilians.

      Its very hard to say with certainty, as a lot of the claims about TPLF/TDF war crimes are being made by the Ethiopian government, however, it is my understanding that they are defending themselves from the Ethiopian and Eritrean government who have absolutely been committing genocide against Tigrayans. The TDF may be doing some revenge killings of civilians in non-Tigrayan areas they have moved in to, but I would not call this genocide, as the war is largely taking place inside Tigray, where the TPLF/TDF would not commit genocide, as they are a Tigrayan nationalist organisation.

        Gotcha, there's also the added factor that the TDF is a united front that isn't purely TPLF controlled and is just everyone in Tigray that is fighting the genocidal EDF/ENDF

      If you are an American , you have to realise that you can search "purity" in War for the rest of eternity and dont find it...

      just not the frameing thats appropriate ... Its a Genocidal War , shit is Messy , real messy , and "as you shout into the Forest it will shout back at you" ...

      "Invaders" and "Defenders" is the appropriat Frame .. ...and Invaders dont have the Luxury of complaining when the roles reverse after they have set the "Tone" of the conflict... When you bring war on your neigbours dont be suprised if you bring it on yourself also ...
