Eritrean-Ethiopian War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The fighting also spread as the Eritrean government began supporting the Oromo Liberation Front, a rebel group seeking independence of Oromia from Ethiopia that was based in a part of Somalia controlled by Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid. Eritrean aircraft then bombed the northern Ethiopian towns of Adigrat and Mek'ele. Prior to the war, 67% of Eritrea's trade was with Ethiopia, and Eritrea imported much of its food from Ethiopia as it could only provide one-quarter of the food it needed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Eritrean-Ethiopian_War   (1727 words)

SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENTS IN GREATER HORN OF AFRICA/GREATER LAKES REGIONS 1998/99 The Ethiopian side immediately accused Eritrea of not being serious in her acceptance of the OAU framework proposals and stated that these proposals were meant to prevent the war but that now as Eritrean obstinacy had forced Ethiopia to seek her legitimate rights by force of arms they no longer could be fully applied. The Eritrean refusal of this demand provided the Ethiopian side with gleefully used additional arguments for depicting Eritrea as a warmonger whose refusal to listen to the voice of the international community would force 'peaceful'Ethiopia to seek redress of her justified grievances by force of arms under invocations of the legitimate right of self-defence. The Eritrean government was fully aware of this TPLF strategy and intended to exploit it to the maximum for economic benefits for Eritrea but to back out as soon as the capacity of the Eritrean government to independently pursue its economic and political strategies for developing Eritrea would be imperilled by this form of co-operation. www.dehai.org /conflict/articles/horn_lakes.html   (7943 words)

Eritrean-Ethiopian War The Ethiopian forces in Eritrea had not been a match for the quick-moving rebels who employed classic hit and run warfare and used the country's mountainous and treacherous geography to their advantage. The Eritreans, conversely, were not supported by anyone and got most of their weapons by stealing them from Ethiopian troops. Ethiopian operations in Eritrea for the next few years were characterized by massive assaults like the "Red Star" offensive in February 1982. www.boyntonweb.net /Policy/Eritrea/eritreawar.htm   (1583 words)

Case Study The Eritrean colony was formed in an area where the peoples had varying and discontinuous relations with the Ethiopian empire in the South, the Ottoman and Egyptian empires in the North and various Sudanic empires to the west and north west. Furthermore, with the unskilled veterans of the war being discharged, from the military forces, the Eritrean government is faced with the task to help them train to get better and more fulling jobs, that in turn would help the society and country advance. Ethiopian defeats gave the EPLF control of the north, west and, finally the east (with the capture of the port city of Massawa in 1990). www.american.edu /projects/mandala/TED/ice/ERITREA.HTM   (2169 words)

II Ethiopian Eritrean War, 1998 - 2000 Ethiopians, whose Russian mercenaries and own fighter pilots were still in training for the forthcoming operation, pressed their old An-12Bs in service as bombers, and couple of night attacks, undertaken by those planes, were reported as flown against the Eritrean positions in the hills around Badme. Ethiopians were confronted with a hail of Eritrean anti-aircraft fire and one of the MiGs was hit, crashing in the suburbs of Asmara. Ethiopian Air Force had an advantage of 10:1 in aircraft (and her MiG-21s and MiG-23s were certainly more suitable for air-to-air and air-to-ground operations than small Eritrean MB.339s), but, there were not enough pilots for all the available planes to go around. www.acig.org /artman/publish/printer_189.shtml   (8809 words)

Historical and social issues behind the Eritrean-Ethiopian border war The Eritrean regime of President Issaias Afwerki bases its claim to the disputed territory on an agreement signed between Italian colonialism and the Ethiopian monarchy in the period preceding Italy's overrunning of the entire country. The Eritrean regime is the product of a 30-year insurgency, Africa's longest war, which ended in both the region's breakaway from Ethiopia and the collapse of the Soviet-backed military dictatorship of Mengistu Haile Mariam in 1991. That a movement which proclaimed itself the Eritrean Peoples Liberation Front (EPLF) should stake its claim to sovereignty on the authority of treaties extorted by Italy at the beginning of the century is an expression of the bankruptcy not merely of this regime, but of bourgeois nationalism throughout the continent. www.wsws.org /news/1998/jun1998/erit-j11.shtml   (1334 words)

Brothers at War - Making Sense of the Eritrean-Ethiopian War Brothers at War: Making Sense of the Eritrean-Ethiopian War published by Ohio University Press on April 1, 2001, examines the conflict between the two former friendly governments of Eritrea and Ethiopia. A shoot-out between the Eritrean soldiers and Tigrean militia and security police followed, igniting a war between the two countries. A small group of Eritrean soldiers entered a disputed territorial zone along the border of Eritrea and Tigray, the northernmost state of Ethiopia. www.ohiou.edu /oupress/brothersatwarrelease.htm   (287 words)

HORN OF AFRICA: 'HUNGER AND WEAPONS' FUEL ETHIOPIAN-ERITREAN BORDER WAR Ethiopians are seeking to take advantage of the current situation to neutralize as many units of the Eritrean army as they can.... A war that is totally absurd when we consider the fact that the two leaders fought together to free Ethiopia from the (bloody) regime of the Red Negus (Mengistu), as well as they working hand in hand for the freedom of Eritrea that became a state on May 24, 1993. The war is as reprehensible as it is futile. www.globalsecurity.org /military/library/news/2000/06/wwwh0j02.htm   (5457 words)

On the Oromo Factor in the Ethiopian-Eritrean War The Ethiopians, including Meles and anyone who might succeed him, will always use the non-Abyssinians, the people resources from conquered and annexed territories, against the Eritreans.  Thus, Eritrea itself will never have peace until Ethiopia is dismantled as an empire. It is important to note that the Oromo are not coming against Eritreans as Oromo.  They are coming in wave after wave as Ethiopians because they are subject to Tigray’s rule, forced into the infantry and then forced to the battlefield to do the EPRDF’s bidding.  Eritreans, Oromos and other Ethiopian colonies must see the empire dismantled before they are able to achieve peace. www.oromia.org /hqloltu3.htm   (1276 words)

Can the Flip-flop Prime Minister So, what are we left with in the end, a senseless war over nothing, and a much belated invitation to peace to the Eritrean side, on the part of the Ethiopian regime to discuss the root causes of the war which had no cause after all, in the first place. Here, it should be remembered that the Eritrean-Ethiopian war in 1998-2000 had broken all previous African records for casualties in war, which the Ethiopian government and recent news publications put at 70,000, but which is at least 30,000 less than the actual figure is believed to be the truth. In the end, though, it must be remembered that most Ethiopians favour the establishment of a sensible peace to replace the state of the “senseless war” between Ethiopia and Eritrea and hope for a certain end to the war between the two “brotherly” people. www.addistribune.com /Archives/2004/12/17-12-04/Can.htm   (1500 words)

WFP - Drought in the Horn - Sudan Until the renewal of the Eritrean-Ethiopian border war, WFP was pre-positioning 4,250 metric tons of mixed food commodities both for the repatriation of Eritrean refugees and for in-country needs during the June-October rainy season. 50,000 Eritreans refugees have fled across the border after resumption of Ethiopian-Eritrean war in May. The recent resumption of hostilities between Eritrea and Ethiopia is adding to Sudan’s already swelling population of displaced persons with 50,000 Eritreans fleeing across the border to escape the Ethiopian’s mass offensive. www.wfp.org /newsroom/in_depth/sudan_horn.html   (548 words)

Right to self-determination & Ethiopian-Eritrean war - www.communistvoice.org If one believed the Ethiopian war propagandists, it was clear that the Ethiopian forces would very shortly be in Asmara (the Eritrean capital). According to the Ethiopian government: "In response to the Eritrean military action, the government of Ethiopia mobilized its armed forces to protect the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity" against "the belligerent aggression of Eritrea on peace loving Ethiopia". Moreover, the Ethiopian workers live in a country where journalists critical of the regime are constantly being imprisoned, where many political organizations are outlawed and violently suppressed, where torture and murder of opponents to the regime is common, and where hell-hole prisons are overflowing with political prisoners. home.flash.net /~comvoice/26cEritrea2.html   (9165 words)

Year 2000, HIM, web-book At the outbreak of the war, Ethiopia detained and deported Eritreans and Ethiopian citizens of Eritrean origin. Experts say perhaps the most damaging aspect of the war is the devastation it is causing to the economies of the two countries.

Historical and social issues behind the Eritrean-Ethiopian border war The eruption of the Ethiopian-Eritrean border war comes on the heels of the genocidal conflicts in Africa's Great Lakes region where rival elites have fought ethnic-based wars across national borders. The Eritrean regime is the product of a 30-year insurgency, Africa's longest war, which ended in both the region's breakaway from Ethiopia and the collapse of the Soviet-backed military dictatorship of Mengistu Haile Mariam in 1991. Before Mussolini established his "Italian Ethiopian Empire," beginning in 1936, Eritrea had served as Italy's base of operations in northeast Africa, ruled as a colony and occupied by Italian troops. www.wsws.org /news/1998/jun1998/erit-j11.shtml   (188 words)

The Triple Transition in Eritrea In the seven years since the Eritrean People's Liberation Front defeated the army of Ethiopian strongman Mengistu Hailemariam in 1991, these wartime memories remain constant both in the physical devastation of the countryside and in the psychological scars that guide the post-war perspectives of the Eritrean population and their government leaders. Despite Ethiopian claims that the Eritrean liberation fronts were the lackeys of Arab and Muslim states, the ELF and EPLF could not count on the regular support of any state. The “Eritrean government” was changed to the “Eritrean administration” by Ethiopian decree and finally, on November 14, 1962, Ethiopian troops circled the Eritrean parliament, and were detained until they “voted” to abolish the Eritrean-Ethiopian federation and formally become a province of the Ethiopian State. departments.oxy.edu /dwa/344/tripletransition.html   (13217 words)

Eritrea: 'You have no right to ask' - Government resists scrutiny on human rights - Amnesty International Eritrean soldiers captured by Ethiopian forces were returned to Eritrea after the war but Amnesty International has received allegations that some of these former prisoners of war are in secret detention for political reasons. Eritrean citizens returning from abroad and those with dual nationality are not exempted.(21) In practise, national service has been extended indefinitely by administrative decision since the war with Ethiopia, when conscription was accelerated, military training was shortened, and development service was converted to active military service. Eritreans of part-Ethiopian origin or married to Ethiopians were also often suspected of Ethiopian sympathies and some are believed to be arbitrarily detained without charge or trial. web.amnesty.org /library/Index/ENGAFR640032004   (13217 words)

War continues between Ethiopia, Eritrea Eritrea has announced that "the Ethiopian army has shelled the Burie front (71 kms west of the port of Assab) for a second day. Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for the Ethiopian government said on Sunday that the Ethiopian bombardment against Eritrea was in retaliation for shelling started by Eritrea's army on Bourey front, northeast of Addis Ababa. The spokeswoman, Saloumi Tadisi, told AFP that she does not have information on downing an Ethiopian military helicopter, but later she admitted in another statement that Ethiopia has lost a helicopter on Bourey front on the border with Eritrea. www.arabicnews.com /ansub/Daily/Day/990215/1999021514.html   (13217 words)
