“On Eritrea, we have evaluated our relationship on our last review. Our evaluation stated that Esayas’ group is involved in Ethiopia and is working to weaken the TPLF and Tigray. We have also evaluated Abiy and Esayas have formed a political and military front to destroy us. They are working on the principle that the survival of one depends on the survival of the other. They are trying to do different kinds of subversive work, military cooperation, intelligence network, security agents and assassination network. Even though they did not succeed, they have been trying their best. As long as Isayas exists and is capable, he will work to destroy the TPLF. So Isayas is still the clear and the main enemy of the present” (TPLF Secretariar P: 10, Oct. 2020).
On the 10th October 2020 before the Tigray war which started on the 3rd November 2020. The TPLF Secretariat had written an extensive report called: “The Special Phase of the Struggle and the Continuation of our Defense – Strategies, Tactics and Directions (Volume – two)” which is a FARA Document and distributed through Mercury Public Affairs LLC and was put on file at the Department of State in the United States of America (USA). That tells the assessments of the TPLF was designated to the US Department of State ahead of conflict.
The report itself was made public in 2021, but I first saw it today. After reading it, I found these texts very interesting and telling. They are telling how Mekelle saw things ahead and we know the Tripartite Alliance was preparing for the war. The mechanical divisions was moved in the border regions of Amhara and there was ENDF soldiers deployed into Eritrea to invade the region from several fronts. Therefore, the TPLF secretariat knew and we are seeing it by the language in this assessment report too.
Just read this!
“The enemy by being suspicious of its commitment to do what it is ordered to do, is trying to replace the old defense force, especially the force that is situated in Tigray (Northern Command), with a new one. At the national level, a large number of new forces have been introduced to train to change the existing power. It is also strengthening the Republican forces it has already begun organizing. The paramilitary forces in Oromia are also being armed and strengthened in all its forms. They are also doing similar work in Amhara. Isaias’s force was also brought into the country. The support that is being provided through training, intelligence, and manpower increases the enemy’s potential. From this, the enemy has not yet been weakened by military support. This is where it relies. Of course, the change in other areas is also determined by this military wing. If the balance of power needs to be changed, then disruptions in the political, economic and diplomatic processes need to have the same effect on the military. So it requires a lot of important work in this regard. Our priority should be the defense force and the use of all sorts of alternatives to prevent it from continuing to be a tool of the enemy” (P: 14-15, 2020).
“We are at chokeholds with enemies who have set out to destroy us, to eliminate us as a people in such a way that we will never recover unless we defend the people of Tigray against this eminent danger” (…) “The war will come in different shapes and conditions; therefore, we will defend against the enemy in any shape or form. There cannot be a comprehensive solution for the multi-dimensional falling out with the enemy. Hence, we need to enhance the ability [of the people of Tigray] to survive the trials that will come with war and they have to be prepared to defend with candles and lanterns if electricity is cut” (P: 35, 2020).
“The war we are facing now has many features and forms. The war has intensified since the beginning of the conflict. War of attrition through soft instruments is making military invasion inevitable in all its forms. There are many things that can be done to end a military war. We have a war that involves military action. Basically, we have a mission to defend against this war actively and effectively. However, not all journeys lead to this. In the name of defending the enemy until he gathers his strength and comes to destroy us, we must not create an opportunity for us to perish or to weaken. The mission is not limited to deterrence; but one which will see the demise of the enemy” (P: 48, 2020).
This assessment report which some wants to use as a sign of the TPLF planning and scheming ahead. It shows that they could see what the Tripartite Alliance planned to do. The mention of the Northern Command shows that and we are seeing the want of a “new force” there. Therefore, things were in coming and the truth eventually comes out.
This report shows the plans of the Republican Guards, the mention of special training in Amhara, which was for “Fano” who participated in the war on the Tigray region. The ones that doesn’t see the implications and how things aligned. The assessment report just shows what is now known and what the Tripartite Alliance doesn’t want the people to know. Because this just shows how it was prepared and done as an effort to destroy the TPLF and the Tigray region. That was a coordinated effort and proven during the war.
The ones saying the Woyane was lying here and was insincere, that’s because the ones who wanted the war doesn’t wants the truth out. We know the Prosperity Party and PIA wanted to end the TPLF. They wanted the TPLF to be defunct and a dying horse during the war. We saw the government statements and how they portrayed the Tigray region during the conflict. Therefore, the ones forgetting that. See why the TPLF Secretariat only saw times ahead and tried to warn the international community, which didn’t listen about their concerns ahead of the November 2020 invasion. Peace.
