The loss of cities to Ethiopian and Eritrean militaries does not weaken the threat posed by Tigray’s forces. This was the first and only time Eritrean forces faced the TDF alone, and they suffered heavy losses. The Ethiopian army is paying a heavy price for every square inch of territory owing to the superiority of the TDF’s leadership and fighting prowess. On the evening of 3 November 2020, Tigray forces neutralized the Northern Command and used this anticipatory defense to arm themselves. So Tigray forces are weakening their enemies and at the same time strengthening themselves.
