| | Ethiopia - The Tigrayan Movement |
 | | Members of the TLO who remained in Tigray and who came under the influence of the EPLF formed the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), whose goals included the overthrow of the Mengistu regime, the establishment of a "more democratic" government, and the removal of all foreign military bases from Ethiopia (see The Tigray, ch. | | | Although its political program continued to have a populist orientation, the dominant ideologues within the organization claimed to be dedicated to constructing the Marxist-Leninist League of Tigray. | | | In the 1980s, the TPLF drew almost exclusively from among the Tigrayan population of north-central Ethiopia for its support, although it claimed to be dedicated toward building a united national front representing all groups and nationalities struggling against the Mengistu regime. |

| | Subsequently, Axum remained the religious and political center of the trans-Mereb Tigray which was the core of the Axumite Empire during the first millenium A.D. Although the collapse of the Axumite Empire was followed by the rise of numerous chieftainships, Tigray, not infrequently, retained its primacy. | | | Conceived in the minds of elites, the ultimate goal of nationalism may not be certain, as observed in Tigray where a shift from an ethnic nationalist agenda to a pan-Ethiopian agenda took place. | | | Even as late as 1985, the TPLF claimed it was not fighting to decide what was good for the Tigrayans but only to secure their right to self-determination. |

| | It should also be stressed that some of the core group around Isayas in Asmara are of mixed blood from the people of Tigray and the rest of Ethiopia. | | | Thus, strictly speaking, the leader of Eritrea, Isayas Afewerki, has neither the firm blood and family roots in Eritrea, nor the legitimacy to be the leader of the people of Eritrea, as defined by "civilized" Isayas loyalists Eritreans. | | | It is also said that some of the closest people around Isayas Afewerki also have a Tigrean blood. |

| | Hence, the people of Tigray rather believed the oneness of the two political organizations and never imagined that EPLF would eventually descend on them, from the North, as the present day gog-magog. | | | Evidently, political parties who use such methods to gain direct and indirect participation of the people do so in order to later blame the society or make the society share the blame in the event of their failure in national responsibilities. | | | To answer why TPLF was persistent about the oneness of the party and the people, the question has to be examined with reference to its political interest. |

| | To claim self-determination for Tigray is one thing, whereas to advocate for independence of Eritrea is treason; plain and simple. | | | The first question which came to my mind as an observer in those days, was, why would a front advocating the liberation of Tigray resort to killing it's own people? | | | TPLF/EPRDF lacks honesty; no other regime in Ethiopia ever advocated the amputation of the country under any circumstances. |
