The continuous sacrifices carried out by successive generations of Tigrayans have sparked a persistent inquiry within me: "What is the purpose behind all of this?" Over the years, I have dedicated considerable time to pondering this question, yet it continues to resurface relentlessly. Why do we persist in enduring these sacrifices? What is the underlying reason? Does it stem from hostility directed toward us by the world and our surroundings? Or is it the result of cruelty from our neighbors? Alternatively, could the source of the issue be concealed within us?
