"..it is not just going to be the PFDJ supporters who will work hard to stop the agenda of both EDA and Meles regime.

It is going to be every Eritrean, from the growing youth movement to the various civic societies to the Eritrean Defense forces … etc. "

Is Ethiopia planning to provoke military confrontation with Eritrea under the pretext of 
chasing ARDUF? In 1998,  it carried a military incursion into Eritrea claiming to be on hot pursuit of ARDUF during the Adi Murug situation of 1998.
 
Read the correspondence between President Isaias and Prime Minister Zenewi  written between August 10 and 25, 1998)
 

Comrade Meles;

Greetings.

I am being compelled to write you to day because of the preoccupying situation prevailing in the areas around Bada.

It cannot be said that the border between our two countries is demarcated clearly although it is known traditionally. And we had not given the issue much attention in view of our present and future ties. Moreover, I do not believe that this will be a cause of much concern and controversy even in the future.

Be this as it may, there have been intermittent disputes in the border areas arising form different and minor causes. Local officials have been striving to defuse and solve these problems amicably. However, the forcible occupation of Adi-Murug by your army in the past few days is truly saddening.

There was no justification for resorting to force as it would not have been at all difficult to settle the matter amicably even if it was deemed important and warranting immediate attention. It would also be possible to quietly and without haste demarcate the boundaries in case this is felt to be necessary.

I, therefore, urge you to personally take the necessary prudent action so that the measure that has been taken will not trigger unnecessary conflict.

Best Regards

Your comrade

Isaias Afwerki

16/08/97

 

Comrade Isaias,

Greetings.

I have seen the letter you sent me. I had also heard that the situation in the border areas does not look good. I was also informed that the matter was discussed between your colleague (Yemane), who had come here, and ours (Tewolde). We did not imagine that what happened in Bada could create problems. This is because the areas our comrades are controlling were not controversial before and we believed that prior consultation was only necessary for disputed areas. We moved to the areas to pursue the remnants of Ougugume (Afar Opposition) who were obstructing our peace efforts from positions there. We believe we can ease the tension concerning the borders on the basis of the understanding reached previously between your team and our colleague (Tewolde). Perhaps, it is also necessary to settle the border demarcation issue after the necessary preparations are carried out by both sides

 

Rebels in the remote Afar region on the Ethiopian-Eritrean border have claimed responsibility for the kidnappings of five Europeans released last week in an interview on Eritrean state media (March 19 2007)

Letter from H.E. Osman Saleh, Foreign Minister, to H.E. MR. Baso Sangqu, President of the United Nation’s Security Council Tuesday, 24 January 2012 02:51 Woyane is preparing it self for war with Eritrea.

Excellency,
Minister of Foreign Affairs

..Indeed, as the attached Reuters news dispatch from Addis Abeba elucidates, these subversive groups make forays into Eritrea from Ethiopia to launch terrorist activities from time to time. Eritrea has not chosen to dwell on these events because they will only eclipse and divert attention from the profound and critical issues at stake. But it has never been driven to take, and does not subscribe to, reciprocal action as a matter of quid pro quo.

Our latest intelligence report indicates that Woyane is preparing an extensive offensive in Afar region to crack down all political and armed opposition movements and there are many indications that shows that Woyane is preparing it self for war with Eritrea. There are feverish activities going on to fix up the military hospitals in Dubte, Samara, Dichoto and Manda. These military hospitals were abandoned since Ethio‐Eritrean war that took place from May 1998 to June 2000. Currently, more than 200 nurses are mobilized to shape up these hospitals. Moreover, there is an ongoing intensive recruitment of previous soldiers with higher salaries than those who are now in service.

Nigeria violence: Scores dead after Kano  blasts

BBC News - 
Co-ordinated attacks by Islamist militants in the northern Nigerian city of Kano on Friday killed at least 120 people, witnesses and reports say.

Stop the Conspiracy That Pulverizes Eritrean Unity ….by Genet Andebrhan January 21, 2012
Erigazette.org
Eritreans have talked much about EDA and now its offshoot, the Awassa congress. The debate is centered on the incessant non-adaptability and inability of EDA to galvanize Eritrean people around a vision that democratizes our thinking and our struggle. The culprit is none other than the Islamic ideology and the politics of ethnic that run antithetical to democracy and the common good. This persuasion attempts to paint a picture of Eritrean society along religion, geography, and highland-lowland divisive politics, and falsely advocates liberation from the Tigrinya

Is this going to be another of Ethiopia’s false accusations similar to the last three incidents as shown in the news below?

Ethiopia blames Eritrea for shooting deaths of five tourists in remote Afar region

UN: Eritrea Did Not Arm al-Shabab

After months of punitive sanctions, accusations from the US and its allies now appear to be untrue

5 tourists shot dead in Ethiopia
In a restive and inhospitable border region, reports emerge of a deadly armed attack on a tour group including Germans.
Ethiopia again blames Eritrea for border violence.
In a searingly hot border region crisscrossed by rebels, a group of eight foreigners are attacked and five are killed.

Ethiopian authorities say Eritrean-trained gunmen were behind the massacre of five tourists in Ethiopia's Afar region in the country's remote north, according to Reuters [3].

The shootings occurred late Monday and German nationals were included among the dead, Reuters said, citing an unnamed Western diplomat. The news agency said the Afar region is home to rebels who, officials in Addis Ababa say, frequently cross the border into Eritrea.

UN: Eritrea Did Not Arm al-Shabab

After months of punitive sanctions, accusations from the US and its allies now appear to be untrue

by John Glaser, January 16, 2012

Eritrea did not send weapons to the Somali militant group al-Shabab late last year, a preliminary U.N. report has found after months of diplomatic outbursts and sanctions against the country.

Some, including Kenya and its ally, the United States, accused Eritrea in November of delivering arms to al Shabab, an Islamic militant group battling a U.S. drone war, proxy war, and a host of foreign African fighters backed by the U.S.

An Ethiopian administrator accused Eritrean forces of kidnapping a group of five Europeans and 13 Ethiopians in a remote part of Ethiopia, and taking them to a military camp near the Eritrean border.

The tourists were believed to have been kidnapped in a remote, inhospitable area of the Horn of Africa nation.

"They were taken to Wema district of Asab Province in Eritrea. This has been confirmed by two Ethiopians of Afar origin who have been left behind," Ismael Ali Sero, the head of the Afar administrative region, told Reuters by telephone.

"We have confirmation that the commandos came from Arat military training camp inside Eritrea. They torched four vehicles and two homes before they left with the group."

Britain sent a six-strong team of senior Foreign Office officials to Ethiopia to step up diplomatic efforts to free the foreigners.

A group of Britons kidnapped in remote north Ethiopia are 'unharmed and safe' in the hands of Afar separatist rebels holding them over the border in Eritrea, according to reports.

The information was confirmed by the Ethiopian government which confirmed that five Europeans and eight locals kidnapped by an armed band eight days ago are in a safe condition.

Foreign Minister Seyoum Mesfin told reporters in north Ethiopia near the area where the group was abducted: "Last evening, I heard that they are safe and secure. They are in good condition."

Reports emerged from a local leader earlier today that the group was "unharmed and safe" in the hands of Afar separatist rebels holding them over the border in Eritrea.

The minister said Ethiopia was using "every channel" to help secure the hostages' freedom, but declined to give further details.

Earlier today, Ismael Ali Gardo, co-founder of the Afar Pastoralists Development Association (APDA), claimed news of the captives had been picked up and passed on by nomadic herders close to where they were being held in the Eritrean settlement of Weima.

Tourists killed in Ethiopia attack
Unknown assailants kill at least five European tourists, and wound and kidnap several others in remote Afar region. Aljazeera....Last Modified: 18 Jan 2012 

At least five people have been killed and several others wounded and kidnapped in an attack by gunmen on a group of European tourists in northern Ethiopia, according to officials.

The attack occurred early on Tuesday in Ethiopia’s northern Afar region, Bereket Simon, Ethiopia’s communications minister, told the Reuters news agency.

Simon said the attack occurred 20 to 25km (12 to 15 miles) from the Eritrean border and blamed “Eritrean-trained groups”, although Eritrea denied involvement.

Two Hungarians, two Germans and an Austrian were killed, according to a spokesperson for the Hungarian prime minister, citing information obtained from Interpol.

The spokesperson said two German tourists and two Ethiopians had been kidnapped. Simon said the kidnapped Ethiopians were a driver and a policeman.

Austria’s foreign ministry confirmed the death of one of its citizens, but Germany’s foreign ministry said it could not confirm the deaths or abductions of any of its citizens.
