of the tplf.ic element within the tplf who have chosen to resort to violence to advance their political objective. and as far as what the tplf stand is in relation to the reforms are concerned, from day one, the tplf has been trying to derail the reform of this administration. they have opposed the prime ministerfrom day one. they have been carrying out various provocations. they have been inciting and instigating violence, ethnic clashes in various parts of the country. so this is our problem with the tplf. the tplf wants to regain the power it lost. the economic and political dominance it had, the privilege it had. and we are saying that can't happen. but, mr attorney general, i might find that argument more convincing were it not for the fact that the discontent of the tigrayans — you say the tplf, but many tigrayans — is matched by discontent in other parts of your country. there are many different groups in your country who look at what abiy ahmed is doing today and say that he is no longer b

the difference between tplf and the prosperity party is ideological.is an ideological difference. it is simply an attempt to the terrorist group to impose its will on our military base, which rejected a call to join a resistance. the prosperity party is established in a way that big names the problems in the country -- that aggregates the problems in the country. the way the program is designed in a way that will solve the long-standing problems. what we are seeing is it has simply worsened or postponed to another time. the election was postponed for the wrong reasons. 50 countries have postponed elections due to covid-19. it was not a will and we wanted to go out and be open. but the board failed -- felt good to covid, we postponed it. we had members of the party who opposed. milliken -- the credibility. >> now covid has become a way of life. you don't have proof it will go away someday. and of the has proved you will get a vaccine anytime soon. so we cannot postponed the right to vote for an undetermined amount of time. even now, the travel port him

the ethiopian army has been locked in conflict with the tplf for weeks.secretary for the ethiopian prime minister, abiy ahmed. she gave me more details about the military operation in mekelle. so what we have right now is that over the past day or so, the national defence forces have made a lot of advances towards mekelle, the last hideout of the tplf clique. today a series of operations were undertaken and unlike the statement that was made in your news statement, there was no shelling of the city. there were specific targets that were identified. in the mechanisms by the national defence forces have been subdued so what the chief, the prime minister has announced is that the mission with regard to the military operation has seized and has been finalised with the control of the city, in particular at the airport and keep public infrastructures and key sites in the city have been secured as well turn out this goes onto the next phase which is for the federal police to apprehend the tplf clique so the focus now has shifted, the military intervention has ce

when the tplf was violating every non-political system in ethiopia.n they were violating the constitution and they were going along with the legal elections -- with illegal elections. there is a level of patient shown for it. however, dialogue is useful. they are enforcing the rule of law and the country without which there has been no country. they can statistically win a 100% to completely refused to take any orders from the central government. therefore the prime minister has ever -- has already shown it. he is our exhausted the corporate resolution by engaging the tplf continuously. the call for dialogue has come when they are flaunting the laws of the country. now it's about enforcing the rule of law and there is no going back on that. the tplf has chosen confrontation over dialogue and lip service to dialogue is not much. some of the senior leadership has been posting about having missiles that can go up 700 kilometers to strike the capital in other towns. where have you seen regional leadership? that is a part of the country which they are thre

one the tplf had been the governing force for many years, nearly 27 years.f's strategy is one more of concn. it is creating a long drawnout conflict. tewhen the prime min announced the operation, he said there would be limited aims, but the tplf was able to fire over the weekend, which shows the potential of this brewing into bigger conflict and bringing in more actors. tplfde l are experienced in warfare, when you think about the border war with eritrea, or the 1970's fightg, being able to coordinate that kind of power. it is a strategic and experienced threat. karen:t lear, the prime minister was celebrated worldwide when he won the nobel peace prize. when he accepted the award, he called war the epitome of hell. the declaration of hostilities is likely to further undermine if not destroy his fading reputation as a leader who can unite ethiopia under the banner of liberal democracy. >> it seems ashough his edentials are seriously eroding. over the period where he has had tensions with tplf, very strong rhetoric coming frs him, and he rejected many calls. m
