Not good news at all for Ethiopia. Basically witnessing the country collapsing and a civil war happening.
Dont think all the Ethnic Groups trust each other. TPLF will most likely turn against Oromos and the Somalis. If the TPLF take the capital the Amhara ethnic group wont accept Tigrayans ruling them.

I understand that, but after every coup or change of leadership a country may need to rebuild trust. Especially considering who we're dealing with and who consider us enemies (KSA and UAE).

Food aid to run out this week, for the first time since the start of the conflictImage caption: Food aid to run out this week, for the first time since the start of the conflict
The head of the US Agency for International Development (USAID) has blamed the Ethiopian government for the shortage of humanitarian aid in the country’s northern region of Tigray.
Samantha Power says food aid in the region will run out this week for the first time since fighting broke out in November last year.
"This shortage is not because food is unavailable” she says “but because the Ethiopian government is obstructing humanitarian aid and personnel, including land convoys and air access”.
Aid trucks have been unable to leave the town of Semera in the neighbouring Afar region, currently the only accessible land route into Tigray.
The UN has separately told the BBC more than 100 aid trucks are stuck on this route.
The breakdown of a scanner at a checkpoint along halted the movement of trucks for around five days from 13 August. The UN says the scanner has been repaired but insecurity is now holding back the trucks.
The Ethiopian government has justified searches at checkpoints along the route saying it has a responsibility to “ensure and guarantee security”.

African armies just suck so bad. Lets be honest here.
There are a few exceptions like South Africa, Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria.

Tigray rebels looting aid supplies - US agency
Mary Harper
Africa editor, BBC World Service
AFP
Tigray forces emptied the aid agency's warehousesImage caption: Tigray forces emptied the aid agency's warehouses
Forces from Ethiopia's Tigray region have looted the US government humanitarian agency's warehouses in the neighbouring Amhara state, the mission's head says.
The Tigrayans have not responded to the allegations.
The head of USAID in Ethiopia told state television that Tigrayan fighters had emptied warehouses, taking food and other items. They also stole trucks, he added.
He said they had caused "a great deal of destruction" in the villages they went to.
Last week, officials in Amhara accused Tigrayan forces of killing about 40 civilians and destroying schools, hospitals and other facilities.
The Tigray rebel forces, who have been fighting federal troops and their allies for 10 months, have taken the war beyond their homeland, advancing through the neighbouring regions of Amhara and Afar.
They have formed an alliance with a rebel group in the country's largest state of Oromia, threatening a far larger part of Ethiopia.
