“In military terms, a unit (‘ganta’) consists of 30 soldiers, a commander, bombs, and machine guns. That’s the smallest unit. TPLF leaders don’t even have that smallest organization. They are hiding in farmers’ houses. They don’t have anyone to fight for them, and the leaders are struggling to save their own lives. Our army is hunting them down. One must be living in a dream world to say that they can revive, reorganize, launch a guerrilla war, and defeat our army. Anyone who says this can happen either doesn’t have a brain or doesn’t know anything about politics or peace and security. They don’t have the morale or the soldiers.”
— Berhanu Jula, Field Marshal and Chief of Staff of the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF)
Based on his argument—and knowing what has happened since he made this statement—can we say that Berhanu Jula has a brain, or that he knows anything about politics, peace, or security? Wasn’t it Berhanu Jula, rather than those who predicted that Tigrayan forces would reorganize and defeat the invading forces, who was living in a dream world?
