I'm confused as to why Hachalu's body was intercepted as it was being taken to Ambo by Jawar's camp & forcibly taken to Addis Ababa. It makes no sense, especially when Hachalu's family requested that they wanted his body buried in Ambo

It gets even stranger because Jawar's camp, who is fully armed, attempts to take the body to a government meeting.
A stand off then ensues & member of Jawar's camp shoots & kills a federal officer.
They were fully armed & ready to kill. This sounds like an attempted coup!

Hachalu's body is then taken to Ambo via a helicopter to honor his family's wishes.
ANOTHER attempt is made to steal his body & take it back to Addis Ababa which ends up with Hachalu's UNCLE being killed! Why was there a repeated attempt to take his body back to a Addis???

It seems like Jawar's camp planmed to over-run Addis Ababa with tens of thousands of "mourners" using Hachalu's funeral as an excuse & wreak havok.
This would give them the perfect opportunity to take out their rivals & control the capital days before the GERD begins to fill.

I'm speculating of course, but had this coup been successful Ethiopia would of plunged into chaos, TPLF & OLF would control the government, the GERD would not be filled & Egypt would be successful.
As bad as things are, I think we dodged a bullet & Ethiopia came out intact.

Hachalu's latest interview made him a marked man. He criticizes the opposition for selling out & working with the same people that jailed & tortured them, and shows support for Abiy's leadership.
Jawar & Co. are in jail & Abiy has full control. TPLF must be shook right now.
