Every path before us carries risk. Our task now is not to settle Tigray's final destination, but to make sure each phase leaves us stronger, less isolated, and still able to choose the next.

The attacks on Tigray may be preparation for another war. But I think something else may also be happening: Addis may be trying to force us to move before the new strategic relationships around Tigray become strong enough to change the balance.

Recovered leverage is not victory. It is a test of judgment: Tigray must turn its growing room to maneuver into durable gains without making the survival of its people depend on assumptions that may prove wrong.

The documentary record behind the territorial arguments in The Mask I Wore Willingly. Western and Southern Tigray are examined separately through evidence on administration, population, language, and belonging, with gaps and uncertainties stated explicitly.

A companion to The Mask I Wore Willingly, clarifying its use of lived testimony, historical documentation, and political argument. The note sets out the sources, qualifications, and limits behind the essay's claims about identity, administration, and belonging.
