ONLF shot itself on the foot. It demobilized, unlike OLA who saw Abiy for what he is. There is no young leadership and it made no real attempt to unify Somalis. The best we could hope for now is the regional government bringing ONLF and other non-OG clans together. An alliance would mean nothing if there is a might behind it. Tigray and Oromo have it.

International borders are already set and ICJ will reaffirm that. This is not negotiable. Everything else can be rectified.

They have been working together but the OLA officially declared the alliance today.

Unlike the TDF, they don't have heavy artillery and well-trained officer corp. They are cutting off major roads

This is desperation. Ethiopia PM Abiy Ahmed calls on civilians to join Tigray war Ethiopia PM Abiy Ahmed calls on civilians to join Tigray war WWW.BBC.COM Abiy Ahmed has asked all "capable" Ethiopians to join the fight against resurgent Tigrayan rebels.

The qabyo dastuur is by design. These so-called politicians will have nothing to argue over if there's a clear path. This is a big con game.

Better this than live rounds, but it's a family affair.

I guess they didn't die for Amharas.

There's so much the West could do. What would a political agreement look like?
