In a race between a lion and a deer, the deer will often win. Because a lion runs for food and a deer runs for its life. Purpose is more important than need.
In the name of ‘Law Enforcement’ Tigrai, our home, was ravaged; our beautiful women were gang-raped, our property, factories, schools, health facilities, heritages, etc looted and destroyed.
The population was massacred, taken into concentration camps, killed and thrown off bridges and cliffs. Agricultural produce, animals, household, everything looted. These were all done with all the federal and regional forces and foreign mercenaries paid to kill. They employed drones, heavy artillery, machine guns, missiles, and every piece of explosive they could acquire.
Tigrians anywhere in Ethiopia and consular missions were dismissed from work, arbitrarily arrested, detained and taken to unknown concentration camps. Millions displaced from their very homes, thousands subjected to extra judicial killings, and disabilities.
Roads blocked, flights banned, aid agencies suspended, Tigrai completely cut of the world and the whole population left to die. Banks closed, telecommunications shut down, electric power disconnected, supply chained blocked.
Media used to misinform, religion to mobilize and bless killers and looters, power to misuse resources, state-budget to buy arsenals, diplomacy to cover-up public outcry and every piece of tool carefully designed against Tigrai.
Tigrai and Tigrians were left helpless. The awful hell, that religious people describe, was brought down to our nation and people. Blood was shed like water, injustice reigned, genocide committed in the dark.
People were pushed to the level of intolerance. Public anger was flared to rebel against the unimaginable savageries. Many people left their homes and families and joined Tigrai Special Forces and formed Tigrai Defense Forces.
Despite the aerial bombings and massive ground force upper hands, TDF made consecutive operations that shifted the power balance. Operation Alula was the biggest of its previous ones, through which Mekelle was retaken. Tigrai Mothers’ Operation pushed the enemy far off South Tigrai. Operation Sunrise made an advance deep into Amhara.
Amhara beasts and their allied mercenaries are still brutally killing Tigrians in western Tigrai and the border areas. #TDF is miraculously advancing to liberate the whole of Tigrai and make sure no future danger exists in Ethiopia and Eritrea.
Now that, the world is left with its jaw-dropped at #TDF’s heroism beyond boundaries. The #Ethiopian government has declared the “Law Enforcement Operation” is now “Existence” Operation. The government that once joked over the existence of Tigrians is now fighting for its existence.
The international community still remained ‘concerned’. The international media have upgraded themselves from calling Tigrai rebels to the true name, TDF.
#TDF is unstoppable. Not because it possesses a different life, an armour or any superpower. But because it is driven by the unlimited inhumanities, every member has seen their family members shot down and thrown off cliffs and bridges, gang-raped, crops burnt to ashes, belongings looted and whatever savagery you can name, being committed. It carries public anger.
The war is between paid mercenaries, who fight for their food, and those who fight for their survival.
In a race between a lion and a deer, the deer will often win. Because a lion runs for food and a deer runs for its life. Purpose is more important than need.
