Title: Ethiopia: Tigray Forces Summarily Execute Civilians
Post by: Gikomba_Hawker on December 11, 2021, 08:45:38 AM
Are the Tigrayans the so-called tribe of Ethiopia that has a "warrior tradition"? Or am I mistaking them for another tribe? After a while, it's hard to keep track. Are they warriors or cowards who kill innocent civilians rather than face the Ethiopian army?

When the war broke, you jumped up and down here with excitement about the Tigrayans. You think we did not know why? Then it turned out that the issue was more complicated and the Tigrayans themselves are no angels.

I'm sure your tears for the Tigrayans are authentic, right? I'm sure you excitedly jumped on the Tigrayan case out of genuine concern for international justice, right? Just like the way you show genuine respect for the International Criminal court, right?

Your excited hope for Ethiopia to break up like Yugoslavia, so that you can use it for your rabidly pro-Ruto Kenyan political arguments, has been complicated a bit for now.

 :D :D :D

I pray that Ethiopia remains intact. It's a great friend of Kenya.

Tigrayans live under total siege, denied food, subject to mass starvation, mass profiling, mass demonization, mass internment, mass sexual violence. Lives, livelihoods destroyed, Tigray set back decades.

When you calmly use phrases like "both sides to blame" just remember that.

Do African "warriors" loot food that is set aside for starving children?

Looters from rebel Tigrayan forces held aid staff at gunpoint in the town of Kombolcha, the United Nations said.

They stole large quantities of essential food supplies - including some for malnourished children.

You're sick my friend. That is why people ignore you here. What I say here about anything (my own punditry) HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO with actors. That is just my dispassionate punditry. Dont hate the Tigrays because I see their struggle mirroring a future hypothetical war that Kalenjin could launch. That make you very sick.

What I know - is that Ethiopia gov are attempting genocide against Tigrays - and what I know Tigray people are great warriors - and will fight to their death.

Tigray are the warriors that saved Ethiopia from colonization. They fought and defeated Italians in the battle of Adawa. If you're proud of Ethiopia history of defeating Italians...it the blood on Tigrayans that was shade and that prevailed. Not Ethiopia other 80 tribes.

They fought the Derg regime and prevailed. They fought for 16yrs.

They did horrible stuff when in power like Tutsi or Banyakole or the Kalenjin did to majority.

But should minority people like Tutsi now or Banyakole or Tigray or Kalenjin in Moi era be "genocided" after eventually losing power because they are damn good warriors fighting and prevailing over a bigger majority....as some form of revenge.

Of course NOT. Should we deny that Tigray are damn good fighters. Of course NOT. Should minority like Tutsi of Rwanda or Banyakole of Uganda ruling their countries commit human right violation of the majority. Of course NOT.

There should be rules of war - you cannot use gov forces to attempt to genocide minority - because YOU CANNOT - and like Tigrays and Tutsi before - when eventually they win the war - as they will - they will similarly revenge BIG TIME. The circle will continue..they will rape, kill, and displace...the majority...for say 30yrs..until they are eventually defeated..majority attempt their genocide...the same is repeated again and again. Until we have a break.

Are kalenjin good figthers. YES OF COURSE. That is historical happenstance. That everyone apart from GEMA who are new in the region are unaware. You are only aware of Maasai ferocity. But anyone in Western Kenya are aware of Kalenjin warfare - and would sue for peace immediately than going for long drawn war.

Are all people good fighters or warriors. NO. It just like running or farming. Some people are great farmers. Some are great merchants. Some are great builders. Some are great dancers. Some great hunters. This historical happenstance that combine several factors to produce speciliazed people and culture.

I do not hate the Tigrayans (good try, I was mocking your political manipulation of their situation). But I think your reading of the Ethiopian situation is unnecessarily colored by your Kalenjin politics. You may not see it that way but others, who are more objective, can. Every country is different.

Ethiopia is a great and wonderful country. I really do not see the necessity of it breaking up. I pray to God that it does not.

Yes, the Kalenjin may be good fighters in the old African sense. But you have politicized them too much. They are not as ferocious as you make them out to be! I also think that modern technology has complicated the so-called "warrior" ferocity you always throw at us on this forum. And the Kalenjins do not need to be a nation by themselves. Kenya's territory, as it stands now, is worth defending from secession.

I would never listen to someone like you to get an accurate reading of the Ethiopian situation. Why? You are extremely biased and have too many axes to grind. If you cannot see this you have another thing coming.

Dude then why open a thread with passive aggressive post on my punditry. Why not talk about Tigray human rights violation on it's own merit? I am not GOD. I make my analysis based on the facts I know. I get it wrong sometimes. Because I am not expert in everything. I know for example that Tigrayans are very very very good fighters.

As we speak Tigrays are still the winners. one year a go - ethiopia gov was kicking their federal gov and sending them to hills - one year later - not only have Tigray reclaimed their entire territorry - they occupy huge portion of Amhara region

The winner as of now is still the Tigray.

But should Ethiopia gov deny non combatants food and medicine - of course not. That is why US and western countries are telling Ethiopia that is not how to fight war.

Ethiopia gov should fight Tigray armed forces but let the UN and other Aid agencies to transport food to prevent mass starvation.

We need mass Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)  treatment. Rift valley is and has been a war zone. Just like Northern Kenya. Growing up people would knife you and tell you not to move so you dont break their swords...as they remove it slowly :). Or as Mzungu realize people were stealing railway nuts for use as club/rungu to brain your enemy or opponent - crack your skull.

He jumps at any opportunity. He's all over the map. It's actually quite pathetic. And when you call him out, he cries like a baby: "You are sick." My favorite is this one: "Everyone hates you." It's as if I'm in a popularity contest. I don't call him out to be popular. I call him out because I simply disagree with him. I don't care what anyone thinks!

When he seized on the shifta war to promote his usual stuff, I began to realize that a screw was definitely missing in that brain that is supposedly high IQ.

Read your signature. You're desperate for Meru to be recognized as warriors. They are farmers.
Warrior tribe of East Africa that were noted for their fighting - Somalis, Kalenjin, Maasai, Turkana and Ngonis.
Ingine ni farmers and fishermen.

Read books like this

Warrior Peoples of East Africa 1840–1900

Less well known than the Zulu of South Africa, the warriors of East Africa had just as fearsome a reputation. This fascinating study, illustrated with rare early drawings and meticulous colour plates, covers six of most prominent tribes.
The prowess of the lion-hunting Masai deterred all foreign penetration for most of the 19th century;
 the Ngoni, driven north by the Zulu, revolutionized warfare in the region;
the HeHe put up fierce resistance to German colonisers;
 the Ruga-Ruga produced two formidable warlords and adorned themselves with bloody trophies;
the Nandi showed reckless bravery even against machine guns; - I didnt make that up - and if you need confirmation of what arming a kalenjin look like - go to Pokot.

and the Turkana dominated one of the most pitiless wildernesses in all of Africa.

Modern technology has complicated things a bit for the so-called warrior tribes. A good aim from a drone can mess things up quite a bit, to put it mildly. A nice drone is also great for gathering intelligence, especially on cowardly attackers who target churches and innocent civilians.

The Afar are the Martial tribe of Ethiopia. They have a long history of resistance going back many centuries before Other kabilas . Generally all Kabilas in Ethiopia alhave a long history of war and are quite good at it there is no single timid kabila.

Pundit bandit :D very true Merus are farmers very proud farmers like most bantu communities the affinity to land and farming is imprinted onnthe mind. I don't think of other passions apart from tilling soil and growing crops or keeping animals.
But unlike you I don't say merus are related to any other kabilas in foreign countries like you who suffers from  grandiose hallucinations of the kalenjin somewhat like they are from Pluto. And thats why I always wished we bordered you so that your inflated ego can be Brought to Earth. Kalenjin are just goat keepers growing up we were told goat herders from mogotio were ruling us in Nairobi. :D

Say someone who has spent all the time trying to link Bantus with Meroe kingdom of Sudan.
Look..out of Ethiopia-Sudan - Oromos/Somali - and Nubian lived in Cush Empire.
Below them were Kalenjin...in the present day Khartoum.
Below them are Luos...they are in Malakal and Bar Gazelle (sp)..
Below them are related Dinks and Nuers...to the east were Maasai/Turkana/Teso

Now Kalenjin (proto-kalenjin) broke off with Oromo/somalis (cushites) (proto-cushites) - just before spread of christinity up in horn of Africa (later 200yrs  Islam arrived) - and moved south wards - toward Ethiopia highlands - and further south to Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

There is enough DNA that has been done - of plants, language, name it.

Kalenjin like Maasai have had significant genetic inflow from cushitic to be described as nilo-hamitic or nilo-cushitic if you will.

Of course even Merus have significant genetic inflow from cushitic (25 percent) - but Kalenjin/Maasai is about (50-75 percent)

It silly to imagine that nilotes lived in sudan and ethiopia - and never interacted with cushites or semites of Ethiopia and sudan.

It also silly to imagine a bantu from Nigeria/Camerooun somehow is related to the tribes in horn of Africa. If there is any relationship - then it's from east africa bantus - interracting with cushites and nilotes.

Pundit bandit :D very true Merus are farmers very proud farmers like most bantu communities the affinity to land and farming is imprinted onnthe mind. I don't think of other passions apart from tilling soil and growing crops or keeping animals.

Luos aka Raila have cojones - shida ni tactic and strategy - they let emotion take over their brain.

Kalenjin are very calculative - we do maths - we never lose our emotions - but fight we fight.

Uhuru and Mt kenya mafia are still waiting for Ruto to go see them and plead - Ruto told them to forget about it.

:D :D :D
Just imagine you are politically in bed with them these days. I pray for you.

Pundit, I have always mentioned here that for anyone but Ruto. So if you bring me even Miguna², I will prefer him to your fellow warrior.

As of being a sissy, I am not out like you to prove my bravery to Gema folks. To me they are just like Maasai or Taita to me.

Lakini uko desperate for Baba. Let me tell you - these gema will never respect sissies like you - they are used to bullying you - but sisi we dont get bullied by farmers kama Njuri ncheke with his sharpened machette.

How is a matter of life and death for me? For me Raila presidency only put my investment in Mau at risk and future investment there; But I already made enough money there; and have many others investment elsewhere they are safe.

Beyond that - I expect Ruto to provide my people more piped water and paved roads - raila ni taka taka who has not helped kibera or luos - sioni kitu atafanya...he will just mismanage kenya and spread poverty.

So yes for me I see Raila as political risk in my mau investment - and lost opportunity - for someone with Ruto talent to take kenya forward.

Not life n death...that is why I dont suck up to folks here - vote or do not vote ruto or raila - with your OWN REASONS.

This is precisely why I will NEVER support Ruto. When I look at him I see a Youth for Kanu thug and a shameless thief. Pure and simple.

As fighting drags on, the government, with its tiny air force of 22 combat-capable aircraft, seems to have also realised that air power and timely intelligence can make all the difference in a conflict – especially one fought over vast and often mountainous areas like in Ethiopia’s north. Although there has been no official confirmation, analysts have pointed to credible reports saying Ahmed’s government has reached out in recent months to manufacturers of cheap and efficient armed drones hoping that air power will turn the tide in its way.

Photographic evidence has pointed to the presence of Chinese Wing Loong 2 Unarmed Aerial Vehicles or UAVs at Ethiopian military bases, while a Bellingcat investigation in August found strong indications that Iranian armed drones, along with their ground control stations, had been spotted at Semera Airport. The government has also reportedly reached out to Turkey and requested a number of Bayraktar TB2 drones. These are relatively cheap and combat-proven and have been decisively used over several battlefields in recent years.

Turkey’s defence and aerospace exports to Ethiopia leapt in the first three months of 2021 to $51m, with further increases in August and September. The TB2s decisive use in three recent conflicts – western Libya, northern Syria and Nagorno-Karabakh – showcased their abilities and the move by drones from effective counterterrorism tools to potent weapons on the battlefield.

Njuri, prepare to lose power, to Nilotic kingdom. You know Nilotes we don't play softie games. Tafuta Kalonzo :) or MADVD fellow Bantus if you want a sofie.

You go with Raila - Wajaluo will crash your balls literally - and feed it to the dogs. You go with us - we will just castrate you.

Matina matina.  The deep blue sea and the ocean.

Weka leo Raila - like we wanted in 2007 - because the Jaluo will reduce you back to 1963  :D :D - You will answer for Jaramogi, Mboya, Raila and by time we get to baby pendo you'll be done. Ruto will do a 360 and support Raila :). As long as Raila start from 1963 :) - we will pay homepage to Jakom.

Ukiweka Ruto - we will only care about the money - we will steal land and money - anyone attempting to stop DP Ruto wealth accumulation will castrated. Otherwise we will mind our business and will not get into your business.

At least you know what Kalenjin can do - be afraid of what Luos can do - go to Uganda and Ask Museveni :) what Obote did. He first kicked out Bantu Kingdom of Buganda....said kingdoms are useless....this very old kingdom.

NJuri my father was expert in all things Luo. He spoke it fluently. One thing he knows a LUO CAN NEVER SHARE POWER. It's just not in Luo DNA - hapo it will be RAILA THE KING - and everyone else the SUBJECT.

Sijui Mt Kenya business negotiating with Raila :). Raila will make up for Luo sufferings under GEMA-Kalenjin in less than 5yrs. Justice will be restored PRONTO.

I'd say KDF and Raila are the same - both are very unpredictable - they can be good or evil - there is no middle ground. I would avoid opposing gov if either is running it - because you will be beaten blue. Ask Luo who oppose Raila - they cannot even say Ngwe!

Several government soldiers near Gashena told Reuters they had been reinforced by a huge influx of new troops, and airstrikes and drones had hit Tigrayan positions. Ethiopia has bought drones from Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.

"Now our priority is to liberate ourselves," Gizachew Muleneh, spokesman for the Amhara region, told Reuters. Tigray's forces would be pursued, he said. "We will not stop our offensive until we have eliminated them."

Old news. Tigray now control Gashena. it has exchanged hands 5 times now.

Turn outs the drones have 200km or 100 miles tactical distance - beyond that - it cannot be operated - so Tigray retreated away from the drone distances...that some 150 miles from Ethiopia Air defence base in Bishofu near Adis Ababa.

Unless Ethiopia airforce move the drones and their turkish operators inside  - the advantage now is back with TDF. They move inside they risk an ambush on the airbase and destruction of the drones.

This will be a long drawn war.

Giving the very latest update was not the point of my posting the article. The point was to show that the war is much more complicated than you've portrayed it to us. In particular, the Amharas have their own grievances and they involve the Tigrayans. In other words, it's not all about the problems that Tigrayans have presented.

Ethiopia is a beautiful country. It should not be reduced to pro-Ruto type of politics. Every country is different.

That's the point.

Ethiopia gov should allow Aid to flow to Tigray otherwise another Rwanda is unfolding - and Tigray will similarly kill others.

Before anything - Aid including medicine - need to flow to Tigray region.

As long as Ethiopia gov is blockading food aid and criticial medicine it has long lost the war.

No right thinking person would want Tigrayan civilians to be punished. They need the aid. To what extent are the Tigrayan fighters complicating the aid flow? Do we really know at the moment? To what extent is it Abiy's fault? Do we really know?

However, I find your interest in Tigrayan civilians being helped to be commendable. Maybe you'll now see why some of us always advocate that innocent Kikuyus in the Northern Rift should never be punished for not supporting Ruto.

Also, I think it's too early to claim that a genocide has been committed, or that the Ethiopian government has already lost the moral war. I think it's still a very fluid situation. Furthermore, there is much we still do not know about all sides to the conflict.

However, I find your interest in Tigrayan civilians being helped to be commendable. Maybe you'll now see why some of us always advocate that innocent Kikuyus in the Northern Rift should never be punished for not supporting Ruto.

Also, I think it's too early to claim that a genocide has been committed, or that the Ethiopian government has already lost the moral war. I think it's still a very fluid situation. Furthermore, there is much we still do not know about all sides to the conflict.

Ethiopia gov should allow Aid to flow to Tigray otherwise another Rwanda is unfolding - and Tigray will similarly kill others.

Before anything - Aid including medicine - need to flow to Tigray region.

As long as Ethiopia gov is blockading food aid and criticial medicine it has long lost the war.

Once you lose the moral war - then it's over.

Throwing your childish insults, as you like to do when called out, will not win your case.

Let's put it this way: You have ALWAYS seemed very understanding (or not overly concerned) of the possibility that Kikuyu civilians might be killed if they do not support Ruto. You have never been as worked up about their possible deaths as you now to seem to be regarding the Tigrayans.

And in terms of Abiy possibly losing the moral war, some of us believe Ruto lost his moral war after the Kiambaa church burning. You, on the other hand, admire Ruto and want him to be Kenya's next president, which is your right. You even concede, after it's pointed out to you, that he's a thief. But you insist he's a "good" thief.

You cannot fool all of us here.

When did I ever advocate for immigrants in RV including kikuyus to be punished? Are your just stupid or born stupid.

I have predicted ethiopia like civil war - starting with tribal clashes - if election are perceived to rigged.

Understand the difference btw PREDICT AND ADVOCATE.

Kibaki caused PEV.

Ruto had absolutely no role in PEV.

All those who died or had their properties burnt should blame Kibaki first - maybe Raila distant second.

In Ethiopia - Abiy carries almost 99 percent of the blame.

Again when did I have problem with Tigray and Amhara fights. I reckon Tigray will beat Amharas. But the poor women and kids dying from starvation need food aid and medicine.

Gov should not fight like bunch of savages. All I want is free food Aid and medicine by UN to flow to Tigray.

Otherwise when it come to war - I think Tigray forces will win.

Kalenjin and Maasai fight - and have fought for long - they take lunch breaks - even night breaks - women and kids are outside. That is how modern fight should be done.

A fight btw Kalenjin and KIkuyu unfortunately has no rules...both sides need to work on that if they cannot avoid war. Unfortunately we talking civilian savages versus civilian savages...warriors versus mungiki. Both sides blame each other for violating the war codes...Kalenjin according to our farm worker in 1992...changed their war code when they discovered Mungiki or Kikuyus were not sticking to it...killing women and violating the dead...by cutting body parts...and taking away heads. In 1992 - I heard kikuyus complaining kalenjin were killing boys even tearing pregnant to confirm if baby was boy or not - I dont know about killing of boys - need to research but recall all that from 1993 or 1995 former warrior who I stayed with for 3 months as he was hired by my mad to uproot old tree stump . Kikuyus feel Kiambaa church was over the top. These are savages fighting savages. I will be LAST PERSON TO KILL SOMEONE FOR ANYTHING.

There are war crimes - and Ethiopia army are not savages - they need to fight clean - avoid doing what Derg did - two million ethiopia mostly in Tigray died in 1984 - Tigrays eventually won - and punished Ethiopias for 30yrs.

Go glorify the shifta war and other secessionists. In your dreams you probably see Ruto leading an army from the Northern Rift to Nairobi, aided by Shifta combatants! Kenya is worth defending, whether or not one tribe loses power after a long spell.

People fight all the time when they disagree and they cannot resolve their conflict peaceful. Friends fight. Families fight. Tribes fight. Countries fight.

My dream is to see Ruto winning in free and fair elections. Why would I want Ruto to start a war when I know in war there is no winner.

But if you make Ruto and Kalenjin feel that war is inevitable way to resolve the conflict; war will be waged.

What is more important is to avoid a situation where people feel they have to fight...either in your own household or in the country.

That is why it's very important rather than trying to scare Kalenjin with Tigray atrocities to call for FREE< FAIR AND CREDIBLE ELECTION.

If Kalenjin decide that 2022 will be resolved through a fight; a fight will happen. My business is to predict how fed up they are and how their hunger for war is....

I am quite certain now that their hunger for war is at all time high...and if Ruto is rigged...we will become another Ethiopia.

Do I want Ethiopia. Hell NO.

That is why I am very concerned when I see election being mismanaged and likes of Matiangi lighting cigarettes in a room full of jet fuel.

No, the fact is Ruto has always had a lot of stinking baggage, ages before he got onto the ballot. So it is perfectly right for some Kenyans to have serious reservations about him.

A Kenyan can be strongly against rigging and still be very well justified in vehemently opposing Ruto.

Now our problem is Matiangi and 8 ministers - who are openly playing dirt politics.

It's important knowing the nature of Kalenjin savagery that election be beyond reproach.

Otherwise they will start war. I didnt make Kalenjin savages - that is just historical happenstances. I also didnt put more than 2 million non-immigrants kenyans in Rift valley living amongst kalenjin and now sitting ducks in case of a war.

Kalenjin lost 2002 - it was free and fair - margins huge. They sucked up their loss. I was nearly beaten several times as I taunted them majority KANU guys.

In 2010 - same thing - beaten blue - COK2010 - Ruto accepted.

We do not want another 2007.

We were very luckly in 2007 because if Annan had failed - KDF were already out - and if KDF had split like police - we have Ethiopia.

Bottomline: Try to beat Ruto very cleanly or prepare for war. HIYO TU.

Foreign drones tip the balance in Ethiopia’s civil war

A stunning military victory this month for Abiy Ahmed, Ethiopia’s embattled prime minister, was made possible by a fleet of combat drones, recently acquired from foreign allies who hope to keep him in power. The drones pummeled Tigrayan rebels, erasing months of battlefield gains and resulting in their withdrawal.

Over the past four months, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Iran have quietly supplied the Ethiopian leader with some of the latest armed drones, even as the U.S. and African governments urged a cease-fire and peace talks, according to Western diplomats who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The motives of Abiy’s allies vary: Some hope to make money, while others aim to gain an edge in a strategic region or to back a winner in the spiraling conflict that has engulfed Africa’s second most populous nation.

Response: Debretsion Gebremichael, the Tigrayan leader, has called for a cease-fire followed by peace talks. “We trust that our bold act of withdrawal will be a decisive opening for peace,” he wrote in a letter to the U.N. secretary general.

Once a rebel force starts asking for peace then you know things are bad for TPLF. TPLF should have stayed within Tigray and so put pressure on Addis to give more autonomy to the regions. By crossing the borders of Tigray and trying to occupy other regions, TPLF left the rest of the regions to decide between them and the other devil they know.

This is long war of attrition. You dont quite understand how tenacious Tigray people fight. The last time they fought Derg from 1976 to 1990s. 16yrs of war. That about the same time the Nandi fought the British. Afghan fought NATO for 20yrs.

The more you kill Tigrays - the more you fuel the rest to join the war for survival - and the harder it is for Ethiopia to prevail.

The rest of Ethiopia are fighting an ego war - Tigrays are fighting a war of survival.

Their argument - they were securing food aid - by opening up the roads. The drones definitely changed the war as Turkish drones and pilots have altered the war. Now they have to fight slowly...

Where do Tigrayans get their military help? I suspect Egypt and Sudan. These two do not have an interest in a strong Ethiopia. Otherwise I do not see any other allies for rebels in Ethiopia.

They cant purchase weapons because they are not a country. No one can sell them drones.

Egypt are interested in endless civil war - because a decisive win by either side - mean ethiopia can focus on economic growth - and they will need power/water - from the same nile that 100M Egyptian rely on.

So basically we have 100M ethiopia interest versus 100M Egyptian interest.

Egypt will fund Tigray in drips....enough to sustain a long drawn war..not enough for a decisive win...if they become another somalia...the better.

Remember Egypt has been key financier of Eritrea to cause Ethiopia problems....because it in Egypt interest to keep Ethiopia forever in war - otherwise the nile dies.

Once the water that get "wasted" in south Sudan gigantic swamp can be canalized through Jonglei - maybe this pressure will reduce.

Or purchase their own drones.

You are shameless. As usual, you're speaking from both ends of your mouth. One minute, you're a tribal warrior, pounding your chest. The next minute you're crying another song.

From Day 1 of the war you were jumping up and down with excitement here. You thought you could use the Tigrayans in your continuous effort to scare us with the so-called "Kalenjin warrior tradition." It had nothing to do with real sympathy for Ethiopia, the country of beautiful people, wonderful culture and history, fast runners and a great ally of Kenya. It had to do with serving the Ruto and Kalenjin nationalist cause, at the expense of everyone else. You even went to the extent of glorifying the shifta war to scare us.

But in your wild excitement (shouting, "Tigray taking over Ethiopia") you could not see the drone that was silently aiming at your behind. The missile from the drone was so fast that you still do not really know what hit you.

Now run and go warn your beloved warriors that warfare methods changed while you were chanting tribal war songs, half naked, half drunk.

The Kale community has its smart people, just like in any other tribe (you're certainly not one of them). But the sad thing is that people like you make a whole tribe to look stupid because you drown out any moderate or smart-thinking fellow tribesmen with your shameless loudness. Or you portray the moderates as sellouts to other tribes, in your rabid attempt to win 100% support for your tribal hero.

There is a lesson here for every Kenyan, regardless of tribe. :D :D :D

I wouldn't compare it to a foreign occupation.  Especially not by a power that can simply disentangle when they get tired.  Ethiopians don't have that luxury  to just stop.  It's a bit like stopping to go after a snake you know is in your house because it has moved into a far corner.  So you have two equally motivated foes.  When Tigray fought against the Derg, they were fighting a foe that was universally hated in the country, so they didn't do it alone.

But these are tribal nations? How would Tigray defeat look like? Ethiopia gov wins - rout out TDF - install their governor to run Tigray region. How is that not a foreign occupation? This is what Abbiy did last year - but now even getting one Tigray to be installed as puppet will be difficult due to genocide....so Abbiy will find hard to colonize it.

Ethiopia is federal state. So this war btw states or nations.

Yes for Tigray the fight for Ethiopia is probably lost. I think they were ambitious to think they can walk back to Adis and lord over Ethiopians. The rejection has almost been total..and it will almost be impossible to rule over Ethiopians who hate them.

Now they need pursue secession.  Now they will become Lesotho landlocked. That will work - they just build an airforce.

For now they should think strategically to declare Independence, Try to get US/UN support, and get a few countries recognizing their independence.

They have to do a land grab either to red sea or sudan. There are tigrayans in Eritrea...but they probably hate Tigrayans in Ethiopia.

So for now their best hope is to go for Sudan border.....annex territory towards Sudan.

Their peace offering is just a ruse to buy them time to regroup and come up with new strategies of destabilization(maybe even including some ideas like the secession you mention).  The US a terrible ally and will switch sides on a dime depending where they perceive their interests to be.  They don't care about Tigrayans.  Europeans may be a different case of genuine concern.

Next time praise guys from Ololo. You see there others like from Gikomba who are worse.
Early days for chokora is like three months ago..90 percent of folks have more than 20 yrs early days since days of rcbowen under moi.After njuri..who is 10yrs old here..is an idiot like you derailing debate with nonsense.My friend if I hate gema I won't have married one and bore three kids.Get a grip of yourself.. understand sometimes we say things in light touch.Some guys here have 30yrs online experience in forums like this..light touch and go..don't be emotional..this not worthy ..don't derail debates with nonsense..don't hold grudges..make you points n go home.For example how many kalenjin know there is war in Ethiopia...almost zero..if you kill all Tigrayan...who cares ..most people don't even know they exist.If I say kalenjin fight like Tigray..it doesnt you derail every thread with Tigray have lost so kalenjin have lost...you need mental health assessment
Call me for what..I am nobody..I speak my mind...I am not on gov payroll.
.I am not politician...you're mentally ill. I support Ruto but you need to direct your anger to Ruto and Raila...not me.My support for Ruto doesn't or my heritage as kalenjin gives me no responsibility at all for what Ruto or kalenjin do.What I do..as RV pundit..call me out..if I support genocide against Tigray like you do please let me know..it almost you support it because you think it will dissuade kalenjin in the future..mental illness

Here we go again. So what else is new?  :D :D :D

The problem with you is that you want to have it both ways.

What you say matters and you must be called out if some of us strongly disagree with what you say. That is how it should be. I do not care who you married.

Pundit,

Don't remind me of the early days. Back then I used to think that you and some others here were the owners of this forum. I had no idea that nothing could have been further from the truth. You're just a houseboy! Creating your own Internet forum is actually impossible! But you will enter one that is owned by someone else and beat your chest, as though you're the owner. It all has to do with insecurity and a hidden inferiority complex.

Most folks here initial instinct was to kick him back to where he emerged from.
