		The disaffection of Eritrean Muslims to EPLF’s policies is only attributable to the lack of inclusiveness in the Eritrean nationalism and the various policies of the Eritrean government that marginalized the Muslim community.

		Under present circumstances it is not possible for the EPLF to pursue its military objective of closing the airport and damaging the military aircraft without endangering the relief airlift, nor is it possible for the relief planes to request safe passage without implying the extension of immunity from attack to military aircraft.
		The EPLF warned the residents of these areas to evacuate their homes, but not all did so, in part because of the fear that their houses would be requisitioned by the army.
		The current situation is a nightmare, which may yet become a worse nightmare should the EPLF capture the city and the Ethiopian government unleash an apocalypse of aerial bombardment upon it; a repeat of the horror and terror of Massawa, but on a larger scale.

		The EPLF, an organization that did not exist at all before 1972, and was not even a force to be reckoned with until the mid-seventies, could not have been in a position to lead the prolonged liberation war that started in 1961 and ended in 1991.
		The decision of the EPLF to form its own government to the exclusion of all other national forces in the country, denying the people of the basic political and civic freedoms lies at the root of all the increasingly worsening problems of the country.
		Alarmed at the growing opposition, EPLF leaders have quite often lost their temper and behaved shamefully in meetings they had normally called to intimidate the public and serve warnings whenever questions about multi-party democracy are raised.

		Based on the principled stand of support and unity with Eritrean separatists against the enemy and recognizing the EPLF as a democratic organization (basically on their stand against feudalism, imperialism and zionism), the TPLF was eager sometimes to the extent of begging, to have extensive collaboration with the EPLF.

		Although the EPLF and the ELF-PLF consistently called for Eritrea's independence, the main ELF faction never closed the door to the possibility of an equitable federal union.
		The EPLF, for example, rejected the reorganization plan, terming it "old wine in new bottles." The ELF expressed particular outrage over the creation of Aseb Autonomous Region, viewing it as another WPE attempt to annex a significant part of the historical colony of Eritrea to Ethiopia.
		Even as the EPLF recorded its most significant battlefield success in 1988-89, a rift was developing between that organization and ELF splinter groups.

		Hence, EPLF started off assuming itself as the brand new generation of Eritrea and, set out to implement a new Eritrean culture, a culture which is a byproduct of colonial influence as well as the Hileselasie painted image.
		Although EPLF attempted to re-write history and change the culture, for the people to internalize the new culture meant to abandon their old values and moral institutions that would make them Ethiopians.
		Their enormous and unprecedented favors for EPLF were interspersed between facilitating a successful Eritrean referendum within Ethiopian territory, recognizing Asab as Eritrean and the freebies as well as granting freedom for Shabia to exploit Ethiopia.

		EPLF tanks captured from Ethiopian forces joined columns of TPLF troops in Addis Ababa, where the new Ethiopian government took power and a Transitional Government of Eritrea (TGE) was announced and the EPLF proclaimed plans for conducting a referendum on independence.
		While the EPLF received occasional aid from countries including Libya, Yemen, and the Sudan, the EPLF was bereft of consistent external sponsorship and had to subsist mostly on captured weapons and the support of Eritrean expatriates to fund the war effort.
		Though EPLF education programs had a certain quality of indoctrination and promoted the prevailing political ideologies of the organisation, the existence of regular political discussion and widespread debate about the shape of post-war Eritrea was in stark contrast to the ELF and many other nationalist organisations throughout the world.

		Discussing "the roots of discipline and autonomy" the author claims that the EPLF initiated "the process of creating an organisational and institutional autonomy in two dimensions: an internal one free from the impact of Eritrean social divisions and external one free from the influence of regional states" (p.
		As to the latter the claim seems to be an exaggeration: true, the EPLF was free from being dominated by foreign powers, but not from being influenced by them.
		In this respect the author contradicts himself, since he underlines the EPLF's closeness to Mao Zedong's tactics which stipulated that the population is the sea in which the guerrilla fish swim.

		But the EPLF was not about to let the TPLF resolve the border issue because it would go against its secret grand plan to use the TPLF in it forthcoming war, for which the EPLF was preparing, to destroy the ELF.
		However, right after the EPLF got what it wanted, the EPLF and TPLF went in their separate ways, and the rumored plot of Tigray-Tigrigne did not materialize, and once again the TPLF was left in Tigray with nothing to do.
		As was mentioned earlier, the Woyane was left by the EPLF in 1981 to have full control over Badme and its surroundings, therefore the disputed territory was controlled by the Woyane until May of 1998, until the Woyane was driven out by the PFDJ.

		According to one EPLF slogan: "With one hand we fight, and with the other we work." In contrast to many other liberation movements during the Cold War, the EPLF had to rely on its own resources.

		Sadly, the decision of the TPLF to submit to the EPLF on this issue was then imposed on the rest of Ethiopia.
		Yet, the TPLF began fighting alongside the EPLF at a time when a military victory by the EPLF was a distant prospect.

		As democratic resolution of the problem was denied, the EPLF was formed as a democratic alternative in order to confront the challenge effectively and to establish a free and democratic Eritrea through the consummation of a national democratic revolution.
		For those forces who later formed the EPLF, this was a stage of rejecting the negative experiences of the ELF, identifying weaknesses in their internal unity and in their capacity to effectively defend themselves in the civil war, and the promotion of the principles of democratic dialogue and peaceful resolution for secondary contradictions.
		Although the road to such an outcome was not always smooth and flawless, it led to the creation of the EPLF which in its congress in early 1977, came out with a clear political program, established strict laws to guide its practice, declared a strategy of people's war, i.e.
