No doubt these days, the issue of Tigray has been dominating Ethiopian politics both back home and in the abroad. In popular Ethiopian cafes, the talk now days revolves around the declining TPLF Empire and the start of their great retreat to their Adwa hideouts. The retreat came faster than most hardcore Tigrayans anticipated with the sudden and unexpected death of Abay Tigray champion Ato Meles Zenawi. Their goal before his death was to sell as much land as they can in fertile ethnic regions in Ethiopia to foreign commercial farmers. What most did not realize was, greater Abay Tigrays ambition was greatly masked behind this policy, which calls for the relocation of indigenous people from their land TPLF-selected and barren urbanization camps. This means disrupting their old way of life, livelihood and forever making them rely on the Abay Tigray. Lets recall how Europeans dismantled African markets and made them reliant on Western institutions such as WFP, IMF and World Bank. Abay Tigray policy follows the same doctrines step by step. The idea was and still remains to evict locals sitting on agriculturally rich regions and tell the locals to relocate due to Ethiopian government schemes. Once replaced, half of their land will be sold to foreigners while the rest are made available for Tigrayans to move in and repopulate. Nowhere is this more visible than in the remote and isolated Gambella, Benishangul, Gumuz and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR) townships. The campaign is already underway at advanced stages and the government is slowly repopulating these regions with Tigrayans, who never farmed prior their arrival from Adwa and Mekele. Obviously, it is one of the greatest tragedies in modern Ethiopia and the international communities as well as ordinary Ethiopians have not understood the scheme to this day. They simply think its government initiatives to develop the land but thats far from the reality. This is a scheme to expand and achieve the Abay Tigray prophecy which requires electricity (Benshingul), water (Gumuz), ports/sea access (Afar/Eritrea) and agriculture/food (Gambella and SSNPR as well as parts of Amhara). The Omo valley farms are contracted to third parties such as Indian and Middle Eastern firms but later they will be asked to return the land (in the same manner Hong Kong was leased to British companies). The Abay Dam is to provide Abay Tigray with both electricity and new source of income by exporting power to neighboring countries and parts of the former sliced up Ethiopia. Assab port is second to Abay Dam on their to do list and TPLF is most likely going to declare war on Eritrea within the next 5 years after sanctions weaken Sawa military machine. Here are some maps. At present day after TPLF expanded the former Tigray region and annexed land from Afar, Amhara, Oromo and others.
