Asmara – A total of 3 defecting Ethiopian soldiers who arrived recently in Eritrea opposing the TPLF regime’s racist policy said that the regime is increasingly taking harsh measures against members of the country’s Army who, embittered by the ethnic-based atrocities spoke up for their rights.

The soldiers are Mohammed Negeyo Suleiman, Alemeshet Zemenfeskudus, and Zele’alem Ejigu.

Private Zlealem stated that the TPLF regime gives promotion only to those Army members who are considered to be “trustworthy (loyal)” which in turn resulted in mistrust among members of the Army.

Meanwhile, private Alemeshet disclosed that the regime’s attempt to muffle the Eritrean mass media by expending millions of dollars has proven to be a futile effort and that the Ethiopian people in general and the Army in particular are able to follow the Eritrean media with clear frequency.
