Asmara — For more than five years the TPLF regime had presented every excuse possible to avoid accepting the EEBC ruling. Now the regime has finally rejected and declared to the international community that it is opting for war.
The Eritrean people had long since known that the rogue regime by nature is incapable of abiding by law and that the only option it has is to buy time through whatever means necessary. Failing to come up with any more excuses at the recent meeting with the Boundary Commission, the TPLF regime has now been forced to reveal what its intentions were all along i.e., war.
Cornered into a tight spot by popular opposition both from inside Ethiopia and outside as a result of its strategic follies, it comes as no surprise that the TPLF regime should take desperate measures emanating from extreme anxiety. Because to a regime loathed by its people and facing an uncertain future, war might seem like an appealing alternative. Yet in reality, the consequences of war are contrary to what the TPLF is presently hoping for. What will make this war different from the previous three aggressions is that it will hail.
