The powerful pro-war camp has deployed 2 potent means to silence anyone against the armed conflict in Tigray or for a negotiated settlement (dialogue): to defame all as paid by the "Junta" & to chastise all as an "ethnonationist" wanting to save the TPLF."
Four things to say 👇🏿
Four things to say 👇🏿
1- No armed conflict in the world, much less politically complex as the one in Tigray, has ever been resolved without a roundtable negotiated settlement. So please stop intimidating/threatening anyone who is an advocate of a negotiated settlement. It may happen that way anyway.
2- TPLF's life doesn't depend on your "ethnonationist" nightmare's advocacy anymore than the other parties to this armed conflict, including foreign actors, are on your unquestioning support to it.
Such arguments are simply the limit of a hawks' depravity of imagination, sadly

3 - Such arguments are also deployed to portray a good vs bad side of the war players in Tigray. Good doesn't negotiate with bad, so some say. One may have succeed selling that before the stories of the war, being fought in darkness, got the light of the day. Things have changed.
4 - What we needed to do atm should have been to discuss how this war has altered the fundamental principles of Ethiopia's sovereignty & territorial integrity, both externally & internally, & the danger thereof. The pro-war camp don't seem to have grasped that yet, tragically!
