A very critical piece that is often missed when explaining the conflict in Ethiopia right now is the false image given to #TPLF as the underdog.

#TPLF is a 47 years old armed group that was engaged in guerilla fighting against the government for 17 years (1966 to 1991).
TPLF managed to overthrow the government along with other armed groups and ruled repressive for 27 years ( 1991 to 2018).

During its rule, it controlled the economy, politics, and the military often keeping Tigrayan loyal at key positions.

Needless to say, it was looting the country's resources, rigging elections, arresting or killing dissidents, and being implicated in large-scale human rights violations.

It was ousted from power in 2018 following strong pressure from the public and civil disobedience.
