Who is being hypocrite here?
Was ONLF not the best ally for TPLF in setting up today's Ethiopia?
Was not ONLF competing with the other 3 Somali parties as to who is closer?
For Djibouti, Somaliland and Puntland and SW as well the ONLF problem was the same. Eritrea, ICU, Mugadishu. Eritrea has never had friendship with Djibouti, Somaliland, Puntland and SW be it in peace or in war, never.
Sudan, Kenya and even Uganda, Brundi all had same policy and action with Tigray Ethiopia. They all allowed Ethiopian agents to roam freely in their countries and even kidnap persons of interest in including from their capital cities.
2006/7 what was role of ONLF? Who did they ally with in Somalia, in Ethiopia, Kenya....
You have to have good footing yourself before you can help your brother. Your brother should not put you in situation where both of you could loose knowingly.
I like even better the Djibouti one. You can come and live here, but not do any work against Ethiopia from here.
I am sure practically that is what all the regions did as well.
