DW reports about victims of Meles-Bashir secret border deal

German Radio (DW) has extensive coverage about the displacement of Ethiopians as a result of the secret border re-demarcation agreement between Meles Zenawi’s regime of Ethiopia and al-Beshir’s Sudanese regime in exchange for railway access for the Tigray region to Port Sudan.

DW also interviews Ethiopians who were released last week after being taken away from their lands by Sudanese government troops and thrown in jail. The Ethiopians were released after paying 2 million birr.

The people whose land have been taken away by Sudan are not being attacked by Sudanese troops alone. According to the DW report, Woyanne troops using heavy weapons have attacked the local residents who resisted.
