Propaganda video – preparation for another war with Eritrea

Posted on , Updated on by Elias Kifle

The following is a war propaganda video just released by the Woyanne regime in Ethiopia. Despite what the video tries to portray, first of all, there is no Ethiopian army under the Woyanne regime. It is a Woyanne army that is commanded by one ethnic group. Secondly, the Woyanne army currently is getting its butt kicked by 3,000 ragtag Somali insurgents. So much for the bravado. Juse consider those two facts as you watch this propaganda video, which is part of Woyanne’s preparation for another war with Eritrea.

Part I (watch part II below)

  3. Selamen ena beltsegena le dehaw ye Ethiopia hizb semegn,
    I WISH DEATH FOR DICTATOR, WAR MONGER ISAYAS AND MELES!!!!!

    Aye Ethiopia! Instead of development WAR, war and war ….! Ergeman!!!

  4. The bloody weyanes gave ethiopia’s real flag when TPLF faces it’s former boss’s army. but when there is no war ,TPLF continue with it’s destructive move .The weyane’s flag which has tegere’s anbasha at the ceneter of eviles speer spread everywhere after the war is over

  5. This is classic Woyanne propaganda to make some irresponsible Ethiopians feel good with hate mongering. What they don’t mention in these two propanda pieces is they conducted frontal human wave attacks and lost tens of thousands of poor Ethiopian soldiers, the Eritrean defense forces conducted orderly retreat to trap them inside Eritrea, when Woyanne soldiers gained this temporary military advantage the first things they did was loot, destroy and burn civilian property, dig up remains of Eritrean heroes from their cemetary, destroy churches, mosques, hotels, government administrative buidings, bridges and burned crops. This is the Woyanne army they are so proud of. In less than two weeks they were beaten back from Tesseney and Barentu. Unfortunately Woyanne will not tell that part of the story to anyone. Now the Ethiopian people will not be fooled into sacrificing their sons for temporary Woyanne glory.

    This propaganda piece is also a sign of fear and frustration on the part of Woyanne leadership, their soldiers are abandoning them and coming to Eritrea, Sudan and other neighboring countries, some are even joining the Ethiopian armed opposition groups, soon there will only be a few sons of Tigray left in Woyanne’s mercenary army. Virtually all their officers are from Tigray, Woyanne military is not a representation of Ethiopia, it is a private army belonging to Woyanne leadership. Their defeat is certain at the hands of the heroic, Somali, Ethiopian and Eritrean people.

  6. let the weyane start the war we will see who is gone finish the war.weyane is ssleeping on the old bed …now ihe war is between ethiopian eritrean and weyanes even weyanes they don’t start the war eritrean and ethiopian not long tgey will start to clean those bloody weyanes…but let the weyane fire one bullet then we will see weyanes days are countabellll

  8. There is no doubt weyane betrayal to their former masters and teachers was surprising. Although betrayal, deceit, daytime robbery, and looting are part of weyane DNA making I don not believe there are any more human being that will believe and sacrifies there precious life for these mafia organization. The Ethiopians are kept hostages by their guns and lies; the Somalians are bleeding for just trying to get there house together; and the Eritreans lost 19,000 lives by the people they considered brothers and sisters. As it looks weyanes must continue shedding blood inorder to stay in Menelik palace; and there are 80 million sacrifying limbs in there possession; but this time around the Ethiopian and Eritrean people will NEVER ALLOW SUCH SOPHISTICATED MODERN SLAVES PLAY WITH THEIR LIVES! IT WILL BE LEGESSE Z, AZEB MESFIN, SEYOUM MESFIN, MEBRAHTU G/WIHOT, AND THE REST OF THE WEYANE MAFIA TO FACE JUSTICE!

  11. I wonder what kind of propaganda video they will make about their adventure in Somalia. Without making tens of thousands young Ethiopian kids a human wave, the Woyannes would not have a chance against Eritrean army. I doubt they can repeat that next time.

  13. Let the selatos and slaves of Selatos bark as usuall.
    Forget Elias’Ethiopians, He can keep them in the kitchen.
    Like it or not Woyanne will march against the terrorist government of Shabbia. Elisa,see you there! Woyanne will always be vitctorios! It is a DNA factor here! They are Deqi-Alula!

  15. Both of them wants to extend their life in power. For that the only method is to be ready for war!!!!!!!Meles let me tell you a fact which never changed. You have had fullish me once. This time I wish you a good luck. Your spoild mind fertile only war in every corner of the country. Though I will never kill my brother any more . Go and show this tape million times for your ADWA ppl.

    Death to Woyane!!

  16. EliASS:
    You have had a very good tendency not posting ideas agaist your interest.Imagine you are denyig the freedom of ideas:Please do not be a pervert who denay the freedom whom you are crying against?
    What is it that you want to portray or imply? Though I did not support the previous senseless war between the two countries, it was not propaganda as you have failed measurably to put on record. It was actually a war where the mighty YIKALOS
    have been humiliated of course with a cost that changed the invincibility of the aggressor: namely the Shabian Chocolate Army! Why do you get to fool yourself that Ethiopia needs propaganda to simulate the already bygone army! Ethiopia has gained a lot of Military adventurism and a huge experience that you and Your shabia boss IS ASS will never imagine when and where will it began and end if, and only if the senseless war starts again. I pray to my Almighty that this war ever, never comes!

  17. Woyane is using the same propaganda used against Ethiopia when it was a Shbiya mercenary selling Ethiopian territory. Now the Somali diversion no longer works it is Eritria time. If that does not work, woyane will find something to divert our attention.

    I am surprised woyane is using Kassa Tessema fano fano song to do its woyane propaganda. Woyane did not any thing to do with Amharic song what went wrong?

  18. In this Video propaganda I didn’t see one Ethiopian soldier dead and all dead people were Eritreans. What a lie ? where those 123,000 dead Ethiopian soldiers ? They are bragging to the world by killing 19,000 Eritrean soldiers while they are sacrificing 123,000 brave Ethiopians life. What a shame ?

  19. Why would Woyane/EPRDF attack Eritrea??

    I don’t think they have any reason to attack Eritrea for the following reasons:

    1) Woyane already recognized the current map (including Asseb, Tsorona, etc.) as Eritrean Soverign lands.

    2) The last times the war started, it is a well documented face that it is Eritrea that attacked Ethiopia.

    3) Woyane does not have internal splits or struggle where they have to create distraction and liquidate the competition.

    I don’t think Woyane has any interest in going to war with Eritrea unless they are secretly working together for the benefit of both once again. I’m sorry Mr. Elias, I know you think this can never happen but Woyane and Sheabia will work together if they need each other to your dissapointment.

    Peace to both peoples!

  20. i wonder if they think the ethiopian people could hear woyane.Now they know woyane than ever…they dont want to go to war and die in the war field for woyanes to be in power .They dont want to be cheated for ever .Enough is enough .No one could have the ear for such kind of lies and propagnda.

  21. Hey you psycopath weyanes this time there is no body to cover your evil intentions your boss neo-colonialists are busy putting their crushing economic institutions. There is no talking with you no more by this I mean you cross the line and start another war your tigray will not be immuned from the merciless eritrean defense forces you go attack tesenei you will get a post card either from ADI GRAT OR ADWA just go ahead make General Wetchu his day.

  22. The thieves woyane Tigryans are scared the shit out of Eritreans. This shity woyane tigryans, let alone Eritreans, their masters, they can not even beat the rag tag somalians who have only AK-47. The shity woyane tigryans, knows their master Eritreans capabilities. Eritreans are well organized fighters and armed to the teeth. So, how the hell those looter woyane tigryans are going to win the war. The shity, woyane tigryans are counting on the people of Ethiopia to hide them in to their skirts.

  23. The truth is, in 2000 war woyane lost over 123,000 poor souls while eritrea lost 19,000 soldiers.
    The most thing that surprises me is, woyane brag defeating shaebia. Well shaebia never been defeated, woyane is just invaded eritrea silently on the back of a donkey through shambuko front. That was with the help of the Russian mercenaries and US spy satelite.
    Why did woyane signed the Algeris agreement knowing that going to lose badime? Because woyane couldn’t move beyond the retreated(occupied) eritrean land. Clearly they just invaded evacuated land, there was no war or resistance whatsoever. The real war was in Assab area Bure front. Woyane tried to invade and occupy Assab, but faild miserably. Thats why they signed the Algeris agreement…eventhough Woyane knew gonna lose badime.
    It is good to know some facts how the war was conducted in 2000. Therefore I am giving you the links, it’s worth reading it.

  25. aye chigaram Weyane. Is this the best propaganda message it can deliver? What we, the majority people, are saying is “Fighting” has never resolved any problem before and it will likely not resolve it in the future. But, it consumes many people, destroys valuable property that nobody can afford. This is the reality when simple peaceful method is the best way to resolve anything and everything for a lasting peace. That is the point.

    Now, unless they are Weyane supporters, I am surprised how many commentators here at ER have fallen to this cheap Weyane lie – otherwise known as propaganda! The world knows that the brunt of this “Senseless” war was taken by the Ethiopian fenjiregatch (123,000 of them). I don’t want to gross anyone by attaching the video as taken by BBC and other eyewitnesses at that time. And my point is not to gloat over the unlucky fellow Ethiopians who had met their untimely death at the hands of the Eritrean army. Really, it is fair to state that they were “Killed” by the Weyanes since the Eritreans were simply defending their country.

    That being the fact, regardless on how one twists it to the contrary, I wouldn’t brag about any Weyane bravery or victory when one considers the Eritreans’ demonstrated fit by beating back an army with superior weaponry thanks to our friends in Washington and plenty supply of man power. The truth of the matter was for the idiotic Weyanes to march in all the way to Asmara and replace the Eritrean government with a puppet one they can mold to their desire. That was of course taken for granted after their illusion of capturing Aseb on the eastern front.

    For those of you who may not know the geography of the area, let me tell you something that makes the Eritrean forces some formidable in its own right. The Eritrean Defense Forces were just outside Bure Km 71(at Aseb road) when the gutless OAU pleaded to the Eritreans to pullback to the Km 37 on the same road. Now, that by itself should have been a huge advantage to the marauding Weyane army. But, adding to that, the Km 37 is an open plain made up of some volcanic rocks [rough and as sharp as a knife] with no hills or mounds that can be used as shelter, whereas the Eritreans had fortified bunker around their original position (the Km 71). In spite of all this and the reported US military intelligence provided to the Weyane thugs, they were unable to move an inch towards Aseb when the then deputy foreign minister of the Dedeb of Dedebit band, Tekeda Alemu, boisterously told a full hall gathering of Ethiopian Diaspora in DC that “We will soon announce an important victory against Shabya – the capture of Aseb in less than two weeks”.

    That is the familiar story of the Weyanes and those that kiss up to them. As much as I hate to see brothers killing brothers, for those gullible Ethiopians, please do not gloat over non existent Weyane ploy for at the end of the day, it is not what the Weyane film clip is telling you, but the reality is what matters – and that reality is Eritreans will not roll dead if and when the Weyane boys decided to play with fire. But wisdom would have it we should all live peacefully side by side for when everything is said and done, it is the table and not the gun that is bound to solve any of real or perceived problems.

  26. I took two years for weyane to organize all the military power it can master. Thanks to the assistance of the US Weyane managed to stand many more soldiers, and using what is called World War One style of mass wave tactic to astonish the Eritrean military personnel. Some of the Eritrean military recieved instruction to strategically puul out of the area, because Weyane’s plan was to give ten soldiers and kill one.

    If that is the strategy of war, then I cannot say they are military in the sense that they are a legitimate military force. Although, they managed to penetrate thru human wave (cannon fodder) style, but it was unable to maintain what it held thru this dispeacable war strategy. When Eritreans returned and chased the tail out of the Weyane arss, they left many of the tired weyane fighters sleeping, confessing to the camera; they revealed they did not have food, many of them did not eat for two days. Weyane left Tesenne due to logistic problems. To get in it paid heavy casualties, and to get out it also paid just as heavy casualty. There is one thing, Tigrai civilians were brought by lory tracks to loot as much as they can, one old man told there was this one particular man who is a Tigrian and he used to work for the old man, then he quits his work and borrowed money form the banks to open a clothing store, he did not succeed. He was one of the men that was tracked to loot war spoils, the old man said hi to him, and the Tigrai man was very angry because someone that knew him saw him.

  27. Yesterday is not today and woyana knows that more than anyone. Yesterday we Ethiopian were happy to see our enemies who were friends fight and we had a chance to attack the other enemy with woyana, but now it is the other way round. Oromo and Amhara will be with Eritrean to fight woyana and woyan will cross the border and go to Sudan or face death. That is reality…….ke ke ke ke…I think woyana…will never try this…at least this time around

  29. The following is a quote from World Bank expert…Shanta Devarajan who considers the implications for Africa….

    …..Finally, there are several African countries that are suffering signs of macroeconomic imbalances quite independent of the financial crisis.

    Ethiopia, for example, has an inflation rate of about 60%.

    These countries are going to have to undertake some kind of macroeconomic adjustment, and the presence of the financial crisis may speed this up.

    Of course, there is also a danger that foreign aid might decline.

    But that’s based on two other events. One is that there’s a major recession in the US and Europe, or in the donor countries.

    And second, whether the spending allocations that governments make will lead to cutbacks in foreign aid…….

  30. I’m praying to the almighty God that to let me live a few more years and see the end of weyane’s era. when these liers gone, I wish to see this journalist to end up in the hands of the Eritrean defense forces and hear what he has to say for reading weyane’s hand written lie. He’s going to say they put a gun on my head and told me to read it. Mekoyet degu hulun asayen enelalen, Amen!!!!

  32. Truth:
    Thank you for providing us with the bbc clip. In contrary to the Woyane propaganda, it reveals what has really transpired when Woyane and its western/eastern supporters ganged up against Eritrea 1n the 1998-2000 conflict.
    Yenatulij:
    Thank you for your wisdom. You gave us, the readers, a detailed information regarding the Woyane’s failed attempt to capture Assab, while maintaining the importance of solving problems through peacefull means”It’s the table and not the gun that’s bound to solve any of real or perceived problems” as you out it. If I may add, Algier’s agreement is “the table” both parties chose after 2+ years of disasterous war. Unfortunately, while Eritrea fully accepted the verdict both in words and spirit, the Woyane Thugs, most likely with the advice of some corrupted SD officials, refuse to comply with its implementation.
    Mengistu:
    This information you provided us about some truck load Tigrayans who came to Barentu and Tesseney to loot is sad but true. And, loot they did.
    So, the only message I have to those “Warmongers” who think they can achieve their expansionistic ambitions militarily is: THINK AGAIN!! People naturally initially trust what “their leaders” tells them and cooperate. Sometimes, they even give them the benefit of a doubt. But, they can not be fooled and misguided all the time.

  33. this propaganda dosn’t represent ethiopian i call it desspret propaganda.first of all woyane is not ethiopean legal leaders,they represent tigay i don’t know how long tigeans take those blood sukers as thier own.if the oromos,the amharas,the somalias,are also cosidered in the woyanes propaganda as ethiopaean fighting for woyanes existance that i will call it the second dreem(DAY DREEM).mengestu fell because he was dictetor but evreybody knowes he was nationalist.but those tigeans they don’t beleave there is good life after them there fore they can sell the whole country with no thinking twise.i don’t know why they fight for 17 years to do all this mess i never heard except NERO THE MAD.

  34. But do you have a moral and ability to start another war with Eritrea ? Weyane’s thug army consider itself as Ethiopian army, but in fact it is not, it is on ethnic based racist army.

  37. Hey guys chill. Who is scared here. Just two videos shouldn’t make you terrrorized. Woyane knows Shabia well. The only one that can bury Shabia is Woyane. Why doesn’t it do it? Because the fight was fake, in a sense that the family acromony benefited both regimes to extend their lives. If Shabia is gone TPLF would be gone too. Shabia benefited by supporting TPLF. TPLF benefited by manipulating support from the ranks in Derg. Now back to square one again. Shabia did trying the same trick again. Woyane has lost trust of shabia for sure; therfore, the time has come when one has to destroy the other. The real hope is that both get destroyed but not likely.
    An intelligent pridiction here: Before the next election in Ethiopia war will start and Shabia will be gone. Unfrortunately, that will extend the current regime and there will be more fake oppositon memebers in parliament. There may be little hope for the election after this one. Woyane will confuse Ethiopians by making some kind of deal with a new government in Eritrea. Well why is this most likely because there is no viable oppostion with back bone as we speak. I don’t expect any miracle soon either. I know some of you will get sickened by this comment but it is true. Woyane is a government that is as good as Chinese or Russians governments. Very authoritative, cunning, cruel, merciless, machivellian, dangerous, unforgiving, pretentious, good diplomacy with powerful nations, strong military and intelligence, coniving, and many more. Tell me if there is any kind of political organization that is even close, it looks like most of them are light year away. If all Ethiopian opposition parties, including Eritrea and all separating parties work together, it will atleast take five years to overthrow Woyane. The way things are now, one has to multiply the years it will take by five. So please opposition parties keep on being divided and attacking each other so that Woyane leads Ethiopia into what ever…

  38. This is, with some facts, a very misleading and purposeful prediction. I do not believe that the Woyane has the power to overthrow Shabia. Even if it does, it will result in a protracted war that drain woyane’s resources and create turmoil in Ethiopia. I do not think Woyane would like to try that. I do not think also that the US dectator sponsors will buy the idea. I believe that the tension simply will remain.

  39. Tizibt:
    With all due respect, your prediction, no matter how silly, reminded me of the time at the hight of the conflict in 2000 when the so called western “Military experts” came on CNN, BBC and predicted that Asmara and Assab would fall under the Weyanes within a matter of days. I don’t want to bore you with what actually transpired. But, the reality was that, to the astonishment and embarrasement of those “military experts”, Weyane was severely humiliated and was seen begging the UN to come and rescue it.
    And, here you’re, still in a state of denial. What I believe is that the outcome of war, any war, just like sports, is unpredictable. There is no such a thing as a good war as there’s no such a thing as bad peace. However, sometimes those who strongly oppose war find themselves in one not at will but to defend themselves. I can give you a number of examples, but you got the idea.
    If you were to do a soul search in finding out why Woyane lost the 1998 war just like it’s losing the war in Somlia, it’s only because it was and still is waging unjust and unpopular war. Nothing more, nothing less.
