Does this mean what the woyanes predicted openly, that Eritrea will not be able to respond in kind? hmmmm

March 15, 2012

Eritrean Information Minister Ali Abdu said Ethiopia’s admission of its military attack is a calculated ploy to divert the international community’s attention from its continuous 10-year occupation of Eritrean territory.

He expressed little surprise that Ethiopia embarked on what he called “a military bellicosity that encroaches on Eritrea’s sovereignty.”

Abdu said Eritrea is not to blame for what he said is Ethiopia’s failure to resolve its internal crisis.

“By its own admission, it’s an aggression against the sovereignty of Eritrean territory,” said Abdu. “The internal crisis in Ethiopia is due to the marginalization and exclusion of minor Ethiopian groups [because] of the regime’s narrow and backward policy of divide and rule being conducted by the Ethiopian regime.”

Ethiopia announced its forces attacked a military base inside Eritrea as an act of retaliation after accusing its neighbor of sponsoring groups that have carried out attacks inside Ethiopia.

Ethiopian government spokesman Shimeles Kemal said Ethiopian troops moved 16 kilometers into Eritrea early Thursday and launched what he called a “successful attack” against two military posts used by “subversive groups.”

Ethiopia has often accused Eritrea of backing rebel groups that attack targets in Ethiopia's Afar area. But, Abdu said Ethiopia’s accusations that Eritrea supports terrorism are like accusing (inventor) Thomas Edison of supporting darkness.

“We have fought terrorism long ago before it became the talk of the town for politicians… and who are these terrorist subversive groups?” asked Abdu. “Almost all Ethiopians are fighting against the regime for the obvious reason because the regime is pursuing a narrow, corrupted policy, which services a very small family of the elite.”

Abdu said Asmara resists being dragged into “this kind of acrimony and provocation.” He said the Eritrean government is pondering its next line of action.
Abdu said the UN Security Council has yet to take disciplinary action against Ethiopia’s decision to ignore the ruling for the past 10 years, despite Asmara’s repeated requests.

“We have been asking the Security Council to take serious measures against the Ethiopian regime, which is occupying our sovereign territory. The United Nations has not fulfilled this mandate and has not taken necessary measures,” said Abdu. “The United Nations should take action, legal punitive measures against the Ethiopian regime for its violations against the Eritrean and Ethiopian Border Commission verdict.”


The United States has urged both sides to exercise restraint. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Washington is seeking further clarification from Ethiopia about its intentions.

The Eritreans don't seem to find pleasure in killing Amhara and Oromo young soldiers conscripted by hunger. Can you blame them?

Revelation, learn the A, B, C. of politics. Woyane is admitting that it attacked Eritrea. There is no reason for Eritrea to destroy this admission as it can be used for farther diplomatical maneuvering in the future. I also heard the press release on Eri Tv. And the point is that nothing happened at the borders yet. The main reason if you ask me why woyane is doing what they are doing is, one there is several internal reasons for woyane to do something to preoccupy its victims and the second is to have negative effect on Eritrean economy. Nothing more and nothing less.

Revelations, if a smelly homeless man pokes you in the back with his finger and then runs away and taunts you, do you follow him and get dirty and catch hepatitis C fighting him? You only fight him if he is serious about a fight and not running away or causing injury or stealing valuables rather than looking for attention and causing commotion. The smelly Woyane hastily retreated after their vandalism. So what next? Let's wait and see. Certainly Eritrea will not enter full scale war because of this. If your dream is for Eritrea to devote 300,000 of its youth for this so that you can rid yourself of Weyane then you need a plan B.

By way of [deleted] kissing Ferenji azz , though out of the blues and unrelated to the topic at hand, Ali Ebdu is envoking the name of Thomas Edison hoping to be saved by ferenjis if weyane is one more time provoked by and descends on the coward regime of wedimedhin. Ancebas are obviously shiiting in their panties, they know Betri Tigray is bitter, and this upcoming one will be delivered once and for all. Back in the days ancebas used to jump uncontrollably up and down Dergue camps thanks to our help and also coz dergue was as coward as them, but now they know that even if they have half a million militia, they are not able to withstand against our killer onslaught and they are terribly scared to death knowing the swagger of the bitter betri Tigray falling upon them and their cursed land.

The truth of the matter is, shabo is in no position to retaliate. There have been numerous incursions by Ethiopian Military and Eri opposition groups for sometime while shabo ate it up and kept quiet. Now, woyane conducts a full frontal attack and broadcasts it to the world, while shabo can only talk about Thomas Edison. shabo gets humiliated and cannot do anything about it. They look like they are hoping the world body, the UN, to feel sorry for them and do something to save their sorry azz.
