Yes, for a number of reasons, the struggle was expected to be long and bitter. The determining factors were the social, economic, political, and natural environment that characterized the Ethiopian landscape. A revolution to be successful, a complete social transformation is a prerequisite. This required going to the peasantry, which accounted for nearly 90% of the total population.
