Abstract

Manmade disaster in Ethiopia occurred starting from November of 4/ 2020 as a result TPLF terrorist groups. The real cause of TPLF terrorist group’s conflict with Ethiopian government is the Manifesto 68 of TPLF.The  most  conspicuous  feature  of  the  Manifesto  68  is  its  reformulation  of  the  people  of   Tigrai’s  fight  as  a  struggle  to  establish  an  ‘independent  republic’. This objective of creating a separate Tigraian state was in marked contrast to the movement’s original aim.  It is therefore necessary to ask why and how this new change took place. As  mentioned  earlier, and as the elasticity  of  ethnic  nationalism  dictates,  not  all   members of the movement had been happy or fully convinced about the value of creating  a  united  country  on  the  basis  of  equality,  as  was  envisaged  in  the  original  programme. Some members remained sceptical and were biding time to reverse this aim to replace it with their own ideas.   In  fact,  the  authors   of  the  new  direction  set  out  in  the  Manifesto   68  were  none  other  than  the  individuals  within  the  leadership  who  had  been  waiting  for   an  opportune  moment  to  impose  their  wishes  on  the  other  members  of  the  movement. Rewriting  the  original  programme  in  detail  (but  not  altering  it)  was  a  previous  decision taken by the entire leadership, but which now became a pretext for derailing it.
