War in Tigray: Hawks and Doves

 Ethiopia Insight posted on 11 January 2021 a commentary titled "Hawks and Doves: The Great Divide over the War in Tigray" by Fassil Hailu, a pen name for an Ethiopia Insight columnist.

The author identifies two groups in Ethiopia, the pro-war and anti-war sides and then sub-divides each into four sub-groups.  On the pro-war side you have the vengeful, the irredentists, the one-Ethiopianists, and the status quo adherents.  On the anti-war side, the author argues there are the TPLFites, the Woyanes, the federalists, and the pacifists.
