Now anyone with a gun in #Tigray can be seen as a legitimate target of the #EDF to counter the anticipated uprising. #Ethiopia has all the ingredients to escalate this conflict into a civil war like Iraq. Take instead of religion ethnicity. Militia escorting EDF!🥱#Somalia #Xamar

#Ethiopia war is a war of ideas! Unitary vs Ethnic Federalism & a bit of revenge on the #TPLF #Tigray
As long as some ethnic groups believe that the others r wild nomadic Folks, who may need to be governed by force against their will, if necessary. Ethiopia cannot rest.🥱#Somalia

Facts that cannot be predicted exactly, if a war against an intact admin. like the #TPLF in #Tigray will be carried out. How will Folks react, how will the troops carry out their orders to spare the civilian, when the enemy can no longer be distinguished from the rest?🥱#Ethiopia

I've seen many enthusiastic soldiers who went 2 war & d pics after. My Pple haven't had a time of peace for a couple of centuries & happen to be a neighbor who no longer like wars, understandable. Ask CIA Killer drones! #TPLF in #Tigray. #Ethiopia #Somalia

See how around 20K #AlShabaab terrorists can wreak havoc & employ various armies for yrs without becoming less dangerous, With or without the help of d Pple!#TPLF in #Tigray #Ethiopia is another caliber & the terrain is difficult to access for parts of the army. #Somalia #Jigjiga

If U know all these facts, & the unknown factors dat can lead to a disaster & a humanitarian crisis, & U still see war as d right means of resolving this conflict, then U really do not care about all #Ethiopians, only about your own kind. #Ethiopia #Tigray
