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.
