Following the TPLF junta officials’ propaganda, nobody had expected the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) would complete the law enforcement operation that has been taking place in the state of Tigray with flying colors within the shortest time possible.
Every now and again the junta members came up with a wide spectrum of fabricated stories to hoodwink their supporters and win their hearts and minds at very short notice.
The TPLF junta officials were very sure that they would turn out to be victorious over the ENDF and come to power in the shortest time possible. They were making a lot of preparations to materialize their dream devoid of taking the potential consequences of attacking the Northern Command into account.
Since Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed took office, the TPLF high-ranking officials set in motion hiding themselves in Tigray state to take control of the federal power making use of unauthorized means that could cause turbulence in the length and breadth of the country.
It is to be recalled that three weeks ago when TPLF cliques attacked the Northern Command of the ENDF that has been situated in Tigray for more than two decades, they were very certain that they would take control of the left, right and center of the entire country in a little while. Whatever the government said the TPLF junta officials were not in the position to lend their ears except beating the drums of war now and then.
As the Northern Command of the ENDF members were residing under the same camp since 2000 with peace, respect, harmony, fraternity, they did not envisage the ethnic Tigrayans affiliates of the Northern Command would open fire on their companions from within demonstrating unparalleled disloyalty. They could never imagine that would happen.
To be very clear, the ENDF were determinedly backing up the people of Tigray by building schools, health centers, preventing the spread of COVID-19, harvesting crops, and so forth. They were always there to help.
After some time, when the TPLF junta officials realized the fact that they could not make their dream become a reality, they began coming up with fabricated stories targeting at confusing the general public. Aside from giving the law enforcement operation a civil war picture, they kept on bewildering the entire world making use of print and electronic media outlets of the world time and again. Some of their cliques as well got themselves fully engaged in adding fuel to the fire time and time again.
At first, the intended target of the TPLF junta officials was conquering the Northern Command the ENDF, and snatching the military equipment and in the fullness of time getting rid of the central government from power without difficulty and tyrannizing the people.
As time went by all their efforts went for nothing. All their efforts failed to bear fruit given that the ENDF kept pressing ahead with the law enforcement operation to bring at the earliest opportunity the TPLF junta officials into justice, putting law and order into effect in Tigray state and the rest.
Even worse, as the TPLF junta officials did not have respect for the rule of law, human rights, and what have you, they were stoking turmoil in every nook and cranny of the country in addition to sowing the seeds of hatred in the midst of the various nations, nationalities, and peoples of Ethiopia.
They have been as well making an effort to throw cold water on the effort of the government utilizing illegal means. The power-thirsty TPLF junta officials were giving their all for destabilizing Ethiopia.
Slowly but surely, the ENDF kept on taking control of major towns of the Tigray state in the law enforcement operation. Instead of admitting the truth, the TPLF junta officials kept on misleading all and sundry residing at home and abroad saying, “Our withdrawal from each city is one of the military strategies.”
In the same way, the TPLF junta officials lie has no end. Though a lie has no legs, nothing makes them happier than telling lies and misleading the people of Tigray. As they have no regard for others, they have been transforming the people’s lives into a living hell. Generally speaking, all the junta members are two ends of the same snake.
Until the ENDF took full control of the entire Tigray state the TPLF junta officials were saying the same thing regarding their withdrawal. Nowadays, the respect for the ‘Indomitable Lions’ is increasing more than ever before on the grounds that they are the true sons of Ethiopia. Wherever they go, all and sundry have been raising their hats and giving a standing ovation for the ENDF.
Following the successful law enforcement operation, Ethiopians residing all over the world have been expressing their infinite happiness. They are all feeling on top of the world and extending their sincere gratitude and appreciation for their heroic deeds.
