To begin with, nothing lasts forever in life and as time goes by everything changes. Nothing remains forever. As the saying goes, “Every time you do a good deed you shine the light a little farther into the dark. And the thing is when you are gone that light is going to keep shining on, pushing the shadows back.”
Good deeds always pay off, and no bad deeds go unpunished. “Though hand joins the hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.”
It is to be recalled that the TPLF junta officials’ clique carried out an attack on the Ethiopian National Defense Forces thinking that they would remove the Federal government from power almost immediately. As they were dreaming of coming to power, stoking unrest in the length and breadth of the county and making the lives of the general public a living hell, they did not think that they would be defeated.
Nobody denies the fact that the TPLF Junta officials are full of evil acts and mischief. Nothing makes them happier than darkening one’s future, destabilizing, and throwing the country off balance.
Despite the fact, the TPLF junta officials were showered with excellent pieces advice to distance themselves from their evil deeds; they were not in the position to lend their ears over and over again. They were not in a position to lend their ears except pouring cold water on the efforts of the government to get to the bottom of the problem through dialogue.
They were not fully interested to get to the bottom of the problem in peaceful means seeing that they were thirsty for power.
However, in due course, all the TPLF junta officials’ dreams went for nothing seeing that the Ethiopian National Defense Forces managed to get rid of them at the earliest possible time in the law enforcement operation and ended up making them a laughing stock.
For the sake of truth, in the beginning, the TPLF Junta officials and their supporters did not imagine the Ethiopian National Defense Forces would turn out to be victorious over them at the earliest possible time.
Notwithstanding the fact that the TPLF Junta officials caused a military injury, property damage, and snatched army weapons, they could not make their dream become a reality. All their efforts went for nothing and got off track.
Frankly speaking, if they had known the existing Ethiopian National Defense Forces capacity, they would not have got themselves fully engaged in attacking the Northern Command of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces. They did not know the fact that they were digging their own grave and unfettering the people of Tigray from oppression.
The accomplishment of the successful law enforcement operation of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces was able to make Ethiopians residing at home and abroad breathe a sigh of relief in the shortest possible time and thus they managed to win the hearts and minds of everyone in a little while.
In this day and age, the federal government has been bringing the TPLF Junta officials into justice and rehabilitating the displaced ones, and things of that sort. They have been as well working by the sweat of their brow to bring together pertinent bodies in the mobilization and delivery of humanitarian assistance to vulnerable communities.
According to the office of the Prime Minister on December 8, 2020, 44 trucks carrying 18,200 quintals of food aid dispatched by the Federal Government reached the town of Shire for distribution to other parts of the region.
The dispatch also includes 4 trucks carrying 5,500 quintals of food to Alamata. Similarly, 30 trucks carrying 12,500 quintals of food supplies have reached Mekelle with an additional 7,000 quintals of wheat flour dispatched to Mekelle. Three trucks of medical supplies have almost reached the city of Mekelle and will be distributed by tomorrow. Seven trucks of medical supplies to Shire and Adigrat towns have also been dispatched.
In this day and age, all and sundry have been feeling on top of the world and as if a huge weight is off their bodies provided that TPLF officials have been removed from every corridor of the Ethiopia. This being the case, the country is moving in the right direction and breathing a sigh of relief.
As Ethiopia is endowed with quite a lot of natural resources all over the country that can take the country to the next chapter of accomplishment, the country’s renaissance will not take that long if utilized by the book. The future is rosy for Ethiopia and its people without a shred of doubt.
