The irony is that with their raggedy army, they were telling the Ethiopians that they are different than the communist gangs of Mengistu and his criminals and are going to give three meals a day.What a day makes a difference.

I don't really know what they are talking about. What happened in short month? The fact is that they were telling the world that they are exporting rice to the Saudi from the land they sold to them. Now, it seems that the land, at least those area they sold off to the Asian, and the Arabs are fertile, I do not see any reason why the ethnic based government of TPLF invest money on these lands or privatize the land to family farme. I guess, since they have perfected the the art of begging and have become so professionals in it, they knew that they will get at least some amount from somewhere.

The funny thing is that Melese and his ethnic buffoon gangs of criminals were telling the wide world that there is no famine in Ethiopia and further more they were telling everyone that if there is, it is manageable. At the same time they were accusing the international media spreading false propaganda. What is this flip of turn of event? This is just a laughable tragedy. I guess, as usual, they are in need of extra cash to line up their pocket with or as usual deposit it in the foreign banks at the expenses of the starving people, since they care less and do not give a damn to the rest of the people as long as their base Tigre and their agazie army are well feed.

Do you think, they care. They will shoot them, so that they will stay milking the golden bearing cow. Beside, who ever is revolting are not going to be Tigrians for sure. As far as, they are concerned, the rest is the enemy, liable to be shot for any infraction, let alone revolting. DO NOT FORGET IT HAVING UNLIMITED POWER, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT

Man we can defeat TPLF.I just hope that the tigrays wake up and see they still starving even when they leader himself is tigray.

And what do you mean "Do not forget it having unlimted power you are talking about??

The thing i fear the most is not TPLF because if this continues the people will revolt against them.I fear what some might do to the tigrays.

Rwanda is still one country last time I checked.

If you think ethnic genocide is going to take place. Who are the millions that are mixed going to fight against?? Their mother or father??

That’s your predication?

Here is my predication when the people revolt and TPLF falls. Tigrays will be attacked but not for long. A civil war will break out and ethnics will fight for power as you said .But only the real Ethiopians who are for all groups will raise and be victorious
