ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Ethiopian Woyanne forces entered Eritrea on Thursday and carried out what a regime spokesman described as “a successful attack” against military posts.
Shimeles Kemal said Ethiopia Woyanne launched the attack because Eritrea was training “subversive groups” that carried out attacks inside Ethiopia.
Ethiopia Woyanne and Eritrea fought a border war from 1998 to 2000. Tensions have reignited between the countries in recent months.
No details about the military operations or any damage or casualties were immediately released.
The “Eritrea government has continued launching attacks at Ethiopia through its proxy groups. The attacks had continued. And the recent attacks against European tourists is one of the reasons for the retaliation,” Shimeles said.
Militants attacked European tourists from five nations traveling in Ethiopia’s arid north in January. Five tourists were killed and two were kidnapped. The two kidnapped German tourists have since been released.
Ethiopia Woyanne blamed gunmen from Eritrea for the attack.
The attacks Thursday by Ethiopian Woyanne forces took place about 10 miles (16 kilometers) inside Eritrea’s territory in areas called Gelakalay and Gimbina, Kemal said. The Ethiopian Woyanne forces have returned to Ethiopia, he said.
“Today’s measures do not constitute a direct military confrontation between the two countries. The Ethiopian Woyanne defense force has entered into Eritrea and launched a successful attack against military posts that have been used to organize, finance and train the subversive groups,” Shimeles said.
Shimeles said it was unlikely that Eritrea would retaliate because it is “not in a position to launch a counter attack.”
The border war between the two countries killed about 80,000 people. Recent signs have pointed to growing tension in the region.
Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Woyanne junta leader Meles Zenawi told his parliament in April that his government would actively support Eritrean opposition groups to help topple that country’s regime.

SUBJECT: MORE DETAILS: KIDNAPPED EUROPEANS RELEASE IN
ERITREA
REF: A) ASMARA 282 B) 070649Z MAR 07 ASMARA IIR 6 908
0216
Classified By: AMBASSADOR SCOTT H. DELISI, FOR REASONS 1.4(B) AND (D)
¶1. (S/NF) SUMMARY: On March 14, British Embassy officials
provided additional details about the kidnapping and release
of the five Europeans by the Afar Revolutionary Democratic
Union Front (ARDUF). The British officials also shared a
report issued by the Government of the State of Eritrea (GSE)
which outlined its efforts to secure the release of the
kidnapped Europeans. The report indicates that the GSE had
knowledge and access to the abductees as early as March 6,
although the Eritreans shared no information with the British
Embassy until notification of the release and travel of the
abductees to Asmara on March 13. Despite the GSE,s lack of
transparency in communication with the British and French
Embassies and despite the questions lingering around possible
linkages between the GSE and the ARDUF, there is no
indication at this time that Eritrea was involved in any way
with the kidnapping, and in fact, the GSE appears overall to
have played a proactive role in facilitating the release of
the abductees. End Summary.
Elias kifle, I just want to use this opportunity to say that you are a traitor to your country and an outcast. Go join Eritrea and gain citizenship there.
war in the name of ethiopians, what a joke! not in my name!! it is not your sons who are dying but the poor ethiopians it is not your property which you are destroying but tax payers money. how about war against poverty, corruption, hunger, dictatorship, torture…………weyanes, i think it is the beginning of your end.
Hold on. How are they going to release about Pres. Girma W/Giorgis or other breaking News? This retaliation attack is nothing more than twisting the mind of “shame-fool” people.
Tomorrow, they may announce the death of President Girma W/Giorgis. The tplf evil-orchestrated propaganda machine had been successfully used in the past and continued to be used even now. The mind of most people has been manipulated for the past 21 years. Many people in tigrai had been heavily tested on evil-minded propaganda (mostly anti-amhara)for the last 37 years. Only hand picked and not many were able to say “show me the proof.” Many people accept all propaganda “as is.”
I do not buy today’s drum-war News on Eritrea. Probably few tplf cliques know what is going to be released in the coming few days:
THE DEATH OF PRESIDENT GIRMA W/GIORGIS. That is it. It is “shame” to continue to be fooled by meles-sibihat-bereket propaganda machine. These people are arch-hatred men (to amhara people)which is equally comparable to what Hitler was to the Jews.
I, Tazabiw, will not be fooled by this non-sense News. I will be happy if this minor attack will eventually bring forward the demise of the following people in sequential order:
#1. meles zenawi
#2. sibhat nega
#3. esayas afeworki
#4. bereket simion
#5. shimelis kemal

Eritrea will always feel woyane heat as long as it continues its current strategy of lukewarm support to opposition forces. In order to succeed it has to give the opposition full support without any operational restrictions and must stop trying to control them through its security forces. In its long war with woyane, Eritrea learned nothing except approach the conflict like a bull without a viable strategy to defeat woyane.

When you don’t have land or job, you will be drafted by hook or crook to the army, just to sevive for your daily bread!
Eritrea will not succeed as long as it gives only a lukewarm support to Ethiopian opposition groups. It must start full support without trying to control them. It could have eliminated woyane if it had given the freedom to the opposition forces to do their job without being controlled by its security forces. As long as it continues it current path, it will receive defeat after defeat and shame after shame.

The opposition shares some of the blame too. But we have to remember Eritrea never considered its conflict as a conflict with TPLF. Instead Eritrea still considers it is in conflict with Ethiopia. As a result it hesitated to fully help Ethiopian opposition. Don’t forget, as TPLF want to secede from Ethiopia and establish greater Tigray that includes Eritrea, Eritreans also would like to expand southward. They also want to be beneficiaries of Ethiopian resource as they used to do during the early days of their friendship. Therefore they do not really want to bleed woyane to death. Instead they want a puppet woyane government controlled by Asmara. Eritrea knows Meles zenawi is a willing puppet if he can be isolated from the rest of the Agames. In fact, Zenawi is their man in Addis. As long as he is in power, Shabia will not make a decisive strike.

Mr. Truth you are lying, Eritreans always refer their enemy as TPLF. What is wrong if they benefit from Ethiopian resources, did they still it? No they worked for it. Trade is not stealing. TPLF is robbing Ethiopia in broad day light. They are selling anything of value to any one willing to pay dollars. They sell to Arabs, Chinees, Indians, Dutch, Germans American you name it. You think that an investment, but Eritrean money is exploitation. I am sure you must be one of those EPRDF cadres agitating for the deportation of Eritrea Ethiopians from their country. Eritreans born in Ethiopia have every right to be Ethiopians if they prefer to do so, just like many of here U.S. Canada, Australia, or many European countries take citizenship. The truth is many of the Eritreans you deported were the sons and daughters of patriots that fought the Italian agression in the 1930s. Read your true history before you expose your ignornce. The Bible say ‘only the truth makes you free’.

Your response is a perfect proof for my theory. By the way, I do not even raise the issue of fair trade here. I have no problem with that. My question is Eritrea only looks to exploit Ethiopia through a surrogate TPLF as this seemed to be the easiest thing to do. But time has proved this policy wrong, but Eritrea chose to hang on to its old strategy and as a result failed to support Ethiopian opposition full-heartedly. This will bring more shame to Eritrea as long as it continues its current path.
Eritrea has the perfect opportunity to topple Woyane in few weeks if it wishes to and gives complete freedom to the Ethiopian opposition. 99% of Ethiopian people are opposed to Woyane. How come Eritrea has not capitalized on that?
Both Woyane and Shabia need each other, my friend Anonymous. Explain to me why Eritrea chose to move its soldiers 18-20 kilometers inside from the border on March 4? Could it be because they are signalling TPLF to hit opposition sites as it did on March 16 and 17?
My advise to both peoples is that not to be fooled by both TPLF and EPLF and seek to destroy both to bring lasting in the region

It is not Eritrea who need to capitalize on the help of Ethiopian opposition forces, but instead the otherway. Ethiopian opposition forces need to capitalize on Eritrean support and strengthen their unity and struggle. Eritreans have they contry and charting their destiny. It is Ethiopians who lost their country to TPLF and being sold left and right. Think clearly

There is no Mama Ethiopia Renaissance here “Hidassie”. There is only Woyanne & Tigray renaissance if you can understand that. This is not a war for Ethiopians against our brotherly people of Eritrea or the Government of Eritrea, it is a war by the Woyannes’ to save the Woyanne.
For all we know the Eritreans are in “LIMAT” as it has been shown not only on their state television Eri-TV but on other world media outlets.
Think big Woyanne is not Ethiopia. Woyanne is for Tigray & Ethiopia is for Ethiopians.
I don’t believe any of it!! It is just a distraction for us from woyanne misery. Woyannes are facing increasing challenges everywhere in Ethiopia and abroad, and all ethinicities have already figured out how woyanne-engineered division is hurting them than benefiting any, except woyannes. Bad news of teachers stopping to work, armed gangs springing everywhere inside Ethiopia, outrage over Alem Dechassa’s abuse and death infront of woyanne embassy, the romoured death of the pig symbolic president, skyrocketing produce prices, land confiscation and sale by the mafias (including the new law on inheritance), etc is making them nervous and want us distracted. Will it work? It is up to us to deny them the chance. I think all is fabricated news and real war will never occur between old friends as we witnessed it before. It only made to look Eritrea a legitimate nation than it seemed before as the Eritrean Meles wanted it. Who will lose at the end. Young Ethiopians who will make a sacrifice (in their life) for their game!!!!

The devil woyane is a killer, it lives by sucking blood, spilling blood, inciting violence and disturbing the peace.
For the woyane, chaos and crisis are modes of survival. Born out of violence, the woyane live and breath violence. this is the strategy of the woyane to stay in power for ever, by shifting their goals from one crisis to the other.
There is no organisation in the world that uses crisis, violence and conflict as means of survival as Tplf does.
Attacked on Eritrean appeared to be a vent mechanism for woyanne,because they know that their day is over with they are under so much pressure from everywhere a small gain in Somalia doesn’t mean they control Somalia we will see where this is going.
I think we need to look at this carefully. What’s behind this News? Should be the question. Weyane are in big trouble as it is and would do anything to divert their misery inside Ethiopia. These thieving thugs are extremely hated by Ethiopians and as always Eritrea or Somalia is the way out. In Somalia they are being literally murdered. So now they will come up with the warmongering tactics against Eritrea and spread it through the war hungry media. I don’t think Eritrean people and media should play their game.
The Woyanne regime in Ethiopia is sick and on a life support. This unprovoked attack on neighboring Eritrea is an attempt to drag the entire Ethiopian population to war with Eritrea. Ethiopian people have learned we are wiser now than ever and we have no reason to go to war with our brotherly country of Eritrea. This is a Woyanne war not an Ethiopian war. My beloved Ethiopian brothers & sisters and also beloved Eritrean brothers & sisters think clearly don’t be dragged into this war that Woyanne is trying to instigate to save it self from its demise.
May God give the peoples of Ethiopia & Eritrea peace & prosperity.

What do you mean I am posting to quick? Is this a hiden censorship?
This is a calculated move by TPLF to divert our attention from the crucial current topic of Ethiopians tragic situation on the day of our mourning to our daughter and sister Alem-Dechasa. They are afraid that Alem’s tragic death which happened under their supervision would be the spark that would lead to an effective unity and opposition of all Ethiopians to Meles government. Alem is our Rosa Park who became the spark to American Civil Right movement in U.S. Martin Luther King captured the occasion to launch the Civil Right March starting the Montgomery Bus Boycott, followed by the March from Selema to Montgomery. There was 50 years Jubilee memorial celebration last week that initiated a new national campaign against the Alabama Immigration Law that is targeted to discriminate against new Immigrants and their children. Let us not fall to the evil trap of EPRDP/ TPLF. Let us condemn the Woyanes war in Eritrea, and show our opposition to this adventure! Long live the solidarity of Ethiopians and Eritreans. Alem-Dechasa lives in our hearts and will never forget her.

Breaking News..Rubansaba: 03-13-2012..Israel and Qatar mediate between Eritrean and Ethiopia ..some representatives of both countries arrived in Germany
Rubansaba 03-13-2102 : Different sources this week have confirmed that the Eritrean government and the Ethiopian government are going to have preliminary meeting in Germany on March the 20th, already some representatives of both countries arrived in Germany.
The mediating that is Israel and Qatar shuffled to both Eritrea and Ethiopia a five point plan:
1.Qatar will lease the Eritrean port of “Assab” for 20 years and Ethiopia will use the port.
2.Ethiopia will be committed to demarcate the border, restore “Bademe” to Eritrea, and withdraw its troops.
3.Both countries work to normalize the social relations between them.
4.Both countries work on normalizing diplomatic and political relations.
5.People affected by the 1998-2000 war to be compensated with the help of donors.
At this time, the Eritrean ruling party “PFDJ” is clearing the way for the negotiation by reshuffling its ministers, administrators, diplomats and military leaders, which is believed to enable the government to get rid of any official who may potentially oppose the above negotiation.

The woyane government is trying to divert the world attention. Because it has been exposed their dirty triks. So now they want a war again with Eritrea. We Ethiopians had enough of this we don’t want no-one to die. They came with gun and are still with their gun.
May God Give US Peace and destroy the entire woyane.
I saw read the news from Press TV. I immediately know that weyane needs some kind of relief or escape to divert what is really happening in Ethiopia now. Once the ppl of ethiopia especialy ppl in Addis start the Arab style revolution gues what weyane will not be saved and US will sake an alternate government and start negotiation with any one who appears stronger. See what happen in Egypt. The US can not fihgt the ppl and can not stope them from uprising but they will always try to hijack their revolution. Ethiopia is not any different, CIA will always look for an alternation. Weyane knows very well and is in desperation they can do what ever is they think to divery the home grown problems. Eritrea is the number one escapegot for weyanes and that is why they do not want to solve border probs with Eritrea. the last playing card.
The whole people of Ethiopians don´t trust woyanne/ T.P.L.f this is the diversion tactics of meles.Few mintues ago i watched ETh Tv and Doma Mefti made explainatation and it was fun and just we destory terrosist e.tc and now we are fighting poverty hiche poche and bala bala!!1
Now T.P.L.f is on the final Hours and i don´t now what they do,period!!1
meles has to go!!!
First lets asses weyanes accomplishment since the 1998-2000 war: 1- any Ethiopian that can read, speak, or write is jailed or hauled out of the country; 2- any Ethiopian that can walk or talk is imprisoned for life; and 3- any Ethiopian that opposes Meles and his boss Mebrahtu G/hiwot is sent to war to Somlia and the remains would be sent to another senseless war with Eritrea. The people of Ethiopia, Somalia, and Eritrea must unite against these thugs that are distroying the horn of Africa in the name of Ethiopia.

They are at the end of the rope.
My friends, this is the starting stages of dismantling Ethiopia. Meles is on his way becoming the Emperor of Greater Tigrea. I predicted in 2010 that, Meles would start a war with Eritrea with in the next five years and overthrew his own cousin Isayas and build Greater Tigrea and dismantle Ethiopia. Already thousands of acres of land from Gondar and Wollo have been taken and these days more Tigreas have been encouraged to buy more land from Gondar and Wollo poor farmers for dirt cheap to expand Greater Tigrea Province. The opposition leaders need to inform the non Woyane Ethiopian soldiers not to die for Meles’s war that is going to destroy Ethiopia. Mark my words!

To all those retarded Ethiopians who are dancing to woyane war drum bits there is an amharic saying from the Arada lij, ‘eye b-d-h-t, Tankelafalech’. In the last war between ethiopia and eritrea, TPLF strength its power miltarily, lost your airforce base relocated from Debreziet (Bishoftu) to Makale Tigray while you danced in the street on your victory of Badime and in the next war you will lose your capital from Addis Ababa (Finfine) to Axum. Yekotun awerd bila yebibtwan talech. Our babis and sisters and our land is being sold left and right by Meles and you are barking on Isaias and Shabia! Woygud alu Emahoy! This is an insult to all Ethiopians.

You look like crying for your loser Shabiya. It is your right to rant your anger against Woyane whenever you want but crying and talking mumbo jumbo when the gallant Ethiopian forces crossed the Eritrean border to crash the puppets and any Shabiya dogs if they were there to help their puppets is non sense. So, please don’t mix up things. If you have money go and buy the land and develop it. There are millions of Ethiopians who are ready to work for you. If you don’t have money and but does have only cheap talk, keep your cheap talk infront of your PC.

Solomon Feriw, I have no desire to buy land from TPLF and be a land lord over poor Ethiopian peasants! I was one of the students who raise the banner ‘Land to the Tiller’in 60s and 70s at a time when Ethiopian students stood on the side of the poor. Any way now Ethiopia’s land is TPLF’s and they are selling it to Arabs, Indians, Chinese and their supporters like you by evicting poor farmers, making them land less and work as coolies, or live their country to live in exile. I am sure there will be another student movement that will demand the return of your plantations to the rightful owners.
I LOVE IT.
THIS IS GOOD START I LOVE IT.
There was no Ethiopian attack or incurssion. Woyane is habitual liars hoe could anybody trust these guys.

that is what i am guessing it just another lie. but i realy wonder how about if it was true who supports the ethiopian opponents financialy
moraly while they are fighting weyane to save ethiopia.it so sad majorty of as are only good to chat and forget about it.
I hate to say this but the fact is Woyane and Shabya are two faces of a coin. This is another sabotage between the two; to distroy opposition goups based in Eirtrea. The two head beasts(Milas and Esayas) talk for hours on the phone. Eirtrean and Ethiopian people stand up and claim your rights for yourself.That is what brings you FREEDOM.
Woyanne gets all its guidance from the west as the midjet has promised them to do everything to protect him as he has once said dont worry about ferenjis only help me tdefeat the challenge that i have with the countries even his close friends apart from the one who was once an ambassador in brussels and now in the ministry of foreign affairs and the others like seye abrha thrown out of the game and now he is alone and as his last days nears his former advisors drive him to his own destruction
My good guess is that weyane will brandish the death penality on some the opposition politicians and some of the journalists whose phony trial is undrway. So this beating of ‘war’ drum is to divert the public and international attention away from its barbaric act.
Shabiya dogs along with their misinformation minister will deny this news even after Woyane produces evidence. There is no need to argue with the weak shabiya dogs. The only good thing about this news is Melese finally wakes up from his sleep and starts taking Shabiyas distabilization of Ethiopia is serious and needs a very robust action. Shabiya is weak and can’t even protect its puppets who are stationed in its territory. Ethiopia must act decisively before it is too late. Once the cancer metastaises, it needs more medicine to destroy it.
Viva to the gallant Ethiopian forces. You can cross any border and destroy anti-Ethiopian elements whereever they are. Be it in Somalia, Sudan or Eritrea.

It is funny why TPLF wants to be known its attack of Eritrea. I am sure this news’s purpose is to Ethiopians loud and clear to distract from the existing crises TPLF has with the 80 millions of Ethiopians. Because why the victim Eritrea did not knew what happened in its border shouldn’t Eritrea claim being attacked so I think TPLF is in a bigger problem as you know sometimes when regimes are in difficulty they create conflicts. I am sure Eritrea will say it has been attacked by TPLF since TPLF claims it had attacked Eritrea so Eritrea will say Eritrea has been attacked by TPLF. More over now days TPLF can not fight from 3 directions which are Eritrea Somalia and with 80 millions of Ethiopians so I think it is a big time miscalculation from TPLF’s end as you know TPLF does not have a strong air force when we compare with Eritrean air force power. Eritrea has the latest fighter jets upto 100 Mig 27 and Mig29 with the latest air defense system according to the latest news however TPLF has around 50 old Mig fighters. In addition TPLF does not have a strong ground military because of the TPLF policy. So let we Ethiopians watch when these 2 brothers fight each other.

First and foremost Wayane is very frightened by the rising popular demands and increasing deman for chnages around there as well as the butchering of its invading army in Somalia and the Gambella attack in the west. Either the tplf wants to make peace with Eritrea 1)seeking renewed support in the face of increasing challenges just in the form of their early cooperation when they entered Addis Ababa together and or 2) to be nasty to Eritrea to please Amhara elite traditional diehard corner patriots and use them against other Ethiopians for few months in order to breath for a while and divert attention from the domestic opposition as well as start
begging foreign donations to fight Ethiopians as usual. Nothing new! Tplf lasted 20 long years by constantly dividing Ethiopians and manufacturing wars and chaos which it
s payed cadres are braying day and night on line and offline.
As long as this highly insecure minority dictatorship is occupying all the state power and dictating lives and livings while visible and invisible dynamic social changes are taking place there will always be violence, chaos, hunger, starvation, wars,looting and a run down to the bottom of the drain for that country and people.
Mr. Anonoymoos
Don’t worry about losing Addis to shaibia…your master issyass once said ” the sun nenver rise in east” and eritirai will be like sengapoor…we see it …forget about marching in addis.. if shabia try to cross tigray border they put them selves on fire.the root cause of etritian ego and problem is, which was builet on too many constructed myths. As one Known eritrian writer said ” As long as eritrians have thier foolish pride and misguided identity ,they never recover from the downfall they are trying to compete with”

Sami don not worry for Shabia crossing you border and taking over your capital. It is TPLF that will remove your capital to Axum. The Government of Eritrea already posted press release they are not interested to go to war. Eritreans are not interested to be like singapor or anyone else. They are working hard to be Eritrea and be the future example to Africa and the rest of the world. You are repeating like parrot what you learned from TPLF war propoganda, such as ‘Eritrea became coffee exporter, the sun is not rising etc, and they let you dance in the street of addis after losing 80 to 120000 of inocent ethiopian youth for a war based on false claim. Then they went to court and the court decided Bademe, belonged to Eritrea, and then you danced again in the street! wake up!

Ethiopia invaded Eritrea and Somalia, and Eritrea defended against invaders backed by U.S. and Western countries from Ethiopia. Sudan, Djibouti and Yemen.

Empty Brovado did not help Mengistu or Ethiopia armed to the teeth. Eritrans do not settle on short battle victory but long term victory on the war. the result is Independence for Eritrea 1993. You fought for two years sacrificing 1000000+ inocent poor Ethiopians, and Bademe legally recognized by the world body an Eritrean teritory in 2002, while you danced on the street with empity hand and stomach! Learn from your past mistakes!
