They have been advancing forever.

Duufaan, Never understood why Somalis would take any side. Baffling! OLA are proving to be useless. Battling are raging all over. It is fluid situation, but it's clear TDF has suffered some significant losses. Now the question is will they retreat to Tigray and avoid supply lines being cut off, or do a suicidal march to Addis in rhe hope of creating choas.

TDF is reportedly completely kicked out of Afar region. The Ethiopian military and allied Amhara forces captured some areas in Amhara region. TDF risks supply line being cut off.

These guys are vicious

They forced him to retract the retweet

I want to see Abdirahman Abdishakur beaten. Many who advocated for indirect elections are now finding themselves sidelined.

It's about elections and money, and other long unaddressed issues.

That will be sweet irony. Two places where Somalis were kicked out. Well, the two better get ready and set up a welcome party.

Galbeedi, I like your optimism, but there are few problems with any possible selection of Demeke Mekonnen, one being he was and is an effective participant in the war against the TPLF and by extension Tigrians and secondly, he needs a base. Though he is Amhara, no Amhara would support him if Demeke gave concessions to TPLF while the TPLF is conquering and displacing Amharas. The Tigrians won't welcome his selection as long as Amharas are 'occupying' Humera and Welkait. Thirdly, you are overestimating the influence Americans have over different groups. While the Americans can push the elites, they have little influence over the armed factions. There is a worry emergence of a warlord class that is not answerable to anyone. And finally, I don't think we appreciate fissures within society and the level of hatred that might not be overcome in the immediate future. It will take a deliberate and delicate process to heal the people so they could see each other as neighbors and fellow citizens again. There are possible ways that spare Ethiopia the hardships of Somalis. The competing groups can agree on a compromise candidate whose sole job is to transition the country to whatever agreed system of governance. Such a person will be hard to come by. Or different groups can establish a council that is representative of the country and keeps everyone in check till they figure out a way forward.
