Part Two: Unbreakable Lines and Silent Wars
For years, the EPLF (Shabia) tried and failed to penetrate the defenses of Nadew Command, one of the strongest military units in the Ethiopian army. At the heart of this force stood Brigadier General Tariku Ayne, a man whose leadership became a symbol of endurance and strength.
Multiple assassination attempts were made against him—ambushes, bombings—but none succeeded. His survival grew into legend. To his soldiers, General Tariku was more than a commander; he was a living reminder of commitment and courage. Even in his absence, Nadew Command stood unshaken.
But when General Tariku fell seriously ill and traveled to Addis Ababa for medical treatment, Shabia launched another major offensive. Still, the Nadew Command held strong. In response, the EPLF began spreading propaganda, claiming they had killed thousands of Ethiopian soldiers and suffered only minimal losses. These exaggerated reports reached Colonel Mengistu through cadres—many of whom had political ambitions of their own and were eager to shift blame or gain influence. Not only did the propaganda cast doubt on the military’s performance, but it subtly questioned Mengistu’s leadership.
Angered and pressured, Mengistu summoned Brigadier General Tariku to discuss who was responsible for the military failures. The cadres pointed fingers at Tariku, accusing him of carelessness. Furious that his name had been dragged into the blame, General Tariku responded with a now-famous speech.
While the exact words vary depending on who tells the story, those close to the situation recall him saying:
> “I haven't left my soldiers in over ten years—not for family, not for rest, not for anything. I’ve lived with them in the wilderness. But most of you, when you’re slightly sick, run off to the Soviet Union, China, or West Germany. I remained loyal to my country. So how can you question my integrity?”

We are still striving, and it is the strivers who should be our peers— not the proud and the accomplished. Without this understanding, pride takes our self-conception and puts it at odds with the reality of our station, which is that we still have so far to go, that there is still so much to be done.

Part Three: A Nation's Right Hand Lost
The speech stunned the room. Some cadres responded, “How dare you speak to the president like this?”
Colonel Mengistu, determined to make an example, held General Tariku accountable for the attack. To instill discipline and fear, he ordered Tariku to be executed in front of his own loyal soldiers.
On February 15, 1988, Brigadier General Tariku Ayne was executed outside of Asmara. His death shocked even the EPLF. Their Radio of the Masses broadcast the moment with a chilling statement:
> “The Derg has cut off its right hand with its left hand.”
Following the execution, the morale of the soldiers collapsed. The once-unbreakable Nadew Command lost its spirit. The EPLF seized the opportunity, and what couldn’t be accomplished through force alone was achieved through psychological and emotional warfare.
The final battle was fought in a town called Afabet—a name that some say was misreported as Nafka due to confusion and the spread of misinformation.
Some sources say the final battle is called nafka that's why they call their currency Nafka.
Regardless of the name, the consequences were clear: Ethiopia lost one of her most loyal warriors. And the cost was devastating.

#Georg_Berkley
George Berkeley is a subjective idealist and Immaterialist, and he says that all things are Ideas, and their origin is in the mind. He says that things exist subjectively (in the mind). This is why #Georg_Berkley is called a subjective idealist.
One of Berkeley's most famous philosophical themes is the central one: "To be is to be perceived or to exist is to be perceived." He says that only the perceptible is existing.
For this reason, when Berkeley states that mater doesn't exist, he says that mater is imperceptible. This is why Berkeley is called an Immaterialist. Because if you don't see it, you don't believe it... When Berkeley states the contradiction with John Locke, Locke is right to base his argument on an empirical foundation, but he is wrong to base his conclusion on a rationalist one. He is also wrong to consider primary qualities as objective or independent of us. However, primary qualities, like secondary qualities, are subjective, says Bishop George Berkeley.
And we say, "No shape without color, color and shape are inseparable." But for Locke, while he made shape the primary characteristic and objective, he made color subjective.

....The most beautiful word that humans have ever uttered is the word "mother." The most beautiful pronunciation is "my mom." It is a sweet and beautiful word, full of hope and love, and it comes from the heart. A mother is everything - our comfort in times of sorrow, our hope in times of pain, our strength in times of weakness. She is the source of love, mercy, compassion, and forgiveness. He who loses his mother loses the pure soul that she constantly blesses and protects.
