Despite the betrayal of the fruits of the past 27 years in this country, what is available on the ground could be a living witness.
In fact, that was the result of the fallen heroes and heroines who fought bravely for 17 consecutive years in uprooting
the butcher dictatorial military regime and bring the severe repression in to an end.
Following the 17 years of bitter armed struggle, TPLF with the people of Tigray and other democratic allies managed to overthrow the military junta in Ethiopia in 1991.

The 45th founding anniversary of TPLF differs from previous celebration as it is now a critical time, a time when peace is poisoned throughout the entire country except Tigray. It is undertaking at a time where the federal system and the constitution have challenged by the force emerged out of EPRDF. The situation is now dark. If it continued this way, it will be the " The Dark Era for Ethiopia."
