General Samora Yunus Discusses Tigray War and TPLF Miscalculations

Former Ethiopian Chief of Staff General Samora Yunus stated that the TPLF entered the northern conflict with a flawed strategy, leading to significant losses. He argued that the rapid progress of the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) was due to high military readiness and a lack of support for the war among the Tigrayan population. General Samora emphasized that the TPLF's agenda was driven by external actors seeking to destabilize Ethiopia rather than the will of the local people. He also accused the group of failing to implement the Pretoria Agreement. The General noted that the conflict ended quickly because the TPLF lacked public support and military coherence.
