THREAD on #Wolkait:
Wolkait is a redline for Ethiopia. A tri-junction for ETH, ERI & SUD. Allowing Wolkait to fall in the hands of a traitor like the TPLF threatens the very existence of ETH as a sovereign nation given its significant geopolitical & National Sec implics.

It will provide the TPLF access to international border & sea port (through Sudan) emboldening them to proclaim the Tigre region a defacto/independent state - w/c will obviously undermine the territorial integrity & sovereignty of Ethiopia.
Might also enable ETH's historical rivals like Egypt or TPLF's loyal Western allies to solidify a military presence in Tigray w/ TPLF's blessing as a security guarantee for themselves, just like how former Soviet territories allow NATO in, to "protect" themselves from Russia.
But one thing is for sure, it will lead the country in to a devastating civil war. A never ending cycle of violence. Gov't will lose legitimacy as the public continue to lose trust on the leadership & continue to reject/threaten the govt's monopoly on power.
For these & many other reasons, TPLF reannexing Wolkait should be averted by at any cost! Its an existential threat to ETH, w/ irreparable sociopolitical/security costs. A grave national security threat that could shake the nation to its core & cost us for generations to come!
