In openly launching aggression against Eritrea and Somalia, the TPLF regime had not only disrupted the peace and stability of the Horn region, as it had been entrusted by its masters to do so, but also plunged Ethiopia into an inescapable political quagmire.

As a result of its actions in carrying out its devious mission, the TPLF regime is now trapped in the tangled web of mounting popular opposition inside Ethiopia and strong legal challenges from outside. However, instead of rectifying past mistakes and respecting the choice of the people and the rule of law, the clique continues to repeat mistake after mistake. Recently, the TPLF clique engaged itself in diplomatic and media campaign to blow out of proportion the nonexistent ‘conflict’ between Eritrea and Djibouti. It is quite obvious that the purpose behind this political game is to further delay the implementation of the EEBC’s final and binding ruling under the pretext of a fabricated ‘new conflict’.

Nonetheless, the people of the Horn region should be aware beforehand that the TPLF regime’s game of fire could only result in further chaos and destruction.

Hence it should be emphasized that the people and Government of Eritrea will neither join in the charade devised to cover up the failed policies in our region nor will they be the sacrificial lamb for the devious machinations of alien forces.
