So in essence Ethiopia is in a third party war sponsored by third parties using tigray forces as a launch pad

America doesn't get involved in fights based on moral grounds. There must be something there for them. Either something economic, geopolitical, or cultural... But there must be something serious in terms of solid gains. If they seriously threatened the Eritreans to leave Ethiopia to fight it out with the Tigrays, immediately after Ethiopia had serious issues with the the Egyptians and the Sudanese, then you have to draw the correlation there. You also have to look at the new Prime Minister of Ethiopia and know where he's bending towards, ideologically. China? Russia?

Ethiopia has a solid military! For her military to be easily manhandled this way, should tell you that in the Tigrays, it's more like the hands of Essau but the voice of Jacob. Again, taking into consideration the fact that the immediate regional conflict that preceded this war, was the dam issue between Ethiopia on one side and Egypt and Sudan on the other side, I wouldn't be surprised if the Egyptians are supplying the Tigray forces. Remember that Egypt was already talking about going to war with Ethiopia before this crises started..

What kind of weak country is Ethiopia? Imagine a minority tribe holding it to ransom.

Negotiation is the biggest skill anyone can acquire. Always negotiate. Aggression should be the last weapon in any conflict resolutions cos it quickly escalate situations. The PM should have negotiated when he had the chance. You don't kill people and expect them not to fight back.

It's over for Ethiopia, oromo liberation front joining forces with Tigrarians is the last straw,the tide has really turned. If these people have the balls, they would have joined forces with Biafrans to end this mess called Nigeria. I support Africa being broken up along ethnic lines. It will bring a lasting peace and development.

But where is the Ethiopian miitary? Where is their air force?

Naija has its problems, but this kind of thing can't happen here.
