EDITOR’S NOTE: There is no ‘Ethiopian military’ in today’s Ethiopia. It’s a Woyanne military over 90 percent of whose top brass are from one ethnic group, Tigray. It’s a military that is good only at killing civilians and raping women. It’s a military that cannot defeat less than 10,000 poorly armed Somali insurgents. It’s a military that cannot and and is not willing to protect the territorial integrity of Ethiopia when tens of thousands of square kilometers of lands are being carved up and given to neighboring Sudan and Djibouti. In short, a herd of pigs is more honorable that the Woyanne military. So it is a bunch of scumbags honoring their scumbag leader.
(AFP) — ADDIS ABABA – Ethiopia’s military has awarded Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and several high-ranking army officers for their leadership in the 1998-2000 war with neighbour Eritrea, state media said.
Meles was cited for “his meticulous leadership in foiling anti-peace moves of the Eritrean regime, terrorists and other anti-peace elements,” the Ethiopian News Agency (ENA) said.
Ethiopia is at loggerheads with neighbouring Eritrea over the precise delimitation of its border and has routinely accused Asmara of backing secessionist groups inside its territory.
The 1998-2000 Ethiopia-Eritrea war claimed 80,000 lives on both sides.
