It is a confused question you are posing ? what do you mean legal provisioning? What are the per-request for legal provision to exist and draw legitimacy and adherence from the people. Evey gun-toting rebel redraws the territory and makes a decree to be the rule of the country which everybody has to follow--- wholla! there you have a Legal Provision . In the Welkaite Tegene case these territories were under then Begemede (during Haileselasser and Gonder,during Derg, administrations were firmly in the now Amhara region , weyanes didn't even waite their made up constituation to be ratified before they snatch the territory and started to depopulate the residences in the area and started resettle Tigrians into the area. The Welkite people protested but weyane used overwhelming force to crash it. But there was no time the question of welkite and Tegene and Raia wasn't raised . It is not an ivory tower intellectual exercise people are killed to the last min weyanes were removed from the land , the residence have been uprooted for decade and their land taken . weyanes were able and took welkite by force and commited all the crime , but when people retook the land that was taken supposed to be blamed. Once the injustice is address the people can vote what they want . Till then though that is thier land , and they shouldn't pushed around again . Weyane said "i saw and i conquered" and you are arguing that is a legal provision . we are talking 27 years history not 150 years or 400 years history.
I think it is a dishonesty to try to avoid to answer the simple question saying it is about this one or the other. Now, let me take you to the same territory you are willingly putting yourself inside by your own volition.
If retaking the areas you mentioned in your response so far by the "rightful owners of the lands" there by means of force is to be justified, then you are also suggesting as a consequence those Oromo (and others, if any) farmers that were forcefully evicted from their ancestral lands around Addis Ababa (Finfinne) to expand the city and in the name of investment should be allowed to wield their guns and retake their lands back first and then after renegotiate about the rule of law.
There are many different areas where there are internal territorial disputes between the various kilils of the country and all of them should now start wielding their guns and retake what they consider theirs and there is no need to settle disputes by means of legal means, according to your reasoning here?
And still Ethiopia should be considered where rule of law should be upheld? And the government there could still be seen as a sovereign state where no entity considers itself to be above the rule of law?
Voila, we are now officially in a rule of fiefdom and there is no centralised rule of law and everybody can do what ever pleases it, according to your statement here.
