"It seems that most Tigrayan observers and analysts predict in best case a much weakened federal authority and a transition to a confederal type of arrangement, possibly with ‘split sovereignty’ between the center and regional states; or in the worst case an implosion of power and the disintegration of Ethiopia. These two scenarios, and everything in-between, are possibly all too pessimistic; but as stated optimists are hard to find in Ethiopia these days, let alone in Tigray. The most recent development is pushing towards a political confrontation between TPLF and PP; between the regional state government and the federal authority, as stated in TPLF’s Executive Committee statement from May 4, 2020:" In-depth Analysis: Towards Tigray Statehood? - Addis Standard ADDISSTANDARD.COM Addisstandard.com

LOOL I was in Addis Abeba at the time. That was when the regime change taking place and TPLF tanks rolled into the city. Within weeks we were listening to the first May 18 songs... ma waqooyi baa saaka loo wanqalay, ma walaaci baa laga raystay oo wado xaqa la maray. Ma Wiilasheenii ba, noo talinaayo Waynaada la yidhi Wehel toosanaan Waa mahad alee Warka maanta yimid Wax ku ool ahaa...

Lacagtii Worldbank, cuntadii WFP iyo UNCHR.. hadana ma diyaaraha/helicopterkiia FAO (Food and Argriculatural Organisation) ayaa la sheegtay? kkkkk Hadii maalmo loogu yaboohay maha macnaheedu in lagu siiyay. Inta Ayax la dagaalamaayo, waxa haboonaan lahayd in Wabiga Juba tuulooyinka uu qaatay dadka ku taablaysan in lagu soo badbaadiyo. Mise contract FAO kuma jiro badbaado dadka shacabka ah? Caku!! At least, helicopter USAID u soo dirtay Somaliland, ciidamo Ethiopian ah looga baqi maayo.

Reer guuraagu waa dad caafimaad iyo socod badan Waxay qabaan labo dhibaato kaliya Hubka oo ay si xad dhaafa u haystaan Dabar goynta dhirta oo ay dhulkii xaalufiyeen. Labadaa arimood hadii xal loo helo way faa'iidayaan waana laga faa'iidi Beeraleydu hilibku waa u lagama maarmaan. Xoolo dhaqataduna galaydu iyo digirtu waa u lagama maarmaan. Kaluumaysatadu waa sidoo kle Ilaha dhaqaalaha mid walbaa ahmiyad gaara bay leedahay waana loo wada baahan-yahay. Nasiib darada jirta waxay tahay aqoonyahankoodii siyaasad wax dumisa un bay barteen, ama waaba ajnabi qoraxdu dhibayso oo guri gaal marti ku ah.

Siyaad barre guri dawladu leedahay yuu ka deganaa soomaaliya, waligiis guri kama dhisan. Nadaamkiisii, beel hanti gaar u lahayd ma jirin iyo kuwo laga dhacay midnaba. Reer burco yuu abaartii daba dheer kuntur-waaray, beeraley kor dejiyay si ay biyo iyo baad u helaan, hadaadan taas ula jeedin cid kale lama arag.

That is the future I guess.Nomadic lifestyle is unsustainable. Specially when rains have become sporadic, droughts recurrent and also the political environments is becoming less conducive to easy movement of people and animals. At the same time, agri-tech is becoming cheaper and more available to the small scale farmers. These are technologies that were once in the domain of the big boys in town with deep pockets. The know-how and the knowledge about new ways and methods of farming are becoming accessible to a lot of people. So it is inevitable that settled farming will win the day. For instance, camel farming is becoming more and more popular thesedays. It is more profitable when they are in a farm where they feed and water are guaranteed. They will give you guaranteed milk output and one can plan their finances accordingly. A man who returned from the diaspora came up with an innovative new way of farming. He rents only she-camels that are milking from nomads. The nomads get a guaranteed monthly income from their she-camel without worrying about the feed, water or health of the animal. This guy now has more than 5,000 she-camels that he doesn't own but rents them all.
