Ethiopia sees highest Eritrean refugee influx

Ethiopia sees highest Eritrean refugee influx


ADDIS ABABA, Dec 14 (Reuters)
- The number of Eritrean refugees entering Ethiopia reached a record high of more than 600 in November, Ethiopia's government said on Friday.

Haile Selassie Gebre Mariam of the state-run Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs said the rate of arrivals had more than doubled from a monthly average of about 300 last year.

"Some 617 Eritrean refugees fled an ordeal in their country and crossed into Ethiopia in Nov.," he said in a statement. "Of the total who sought asylum ... 289 are Eritrean army members."

Some 25,000 Eritreans are sheltering in Ethiopia, he said.

Relations between the two Horn of Africa nations are at their lowest since a 1998-2000 border war killed 70,000 people. Eritrean officials were not immediately available to comment. (Reporting by Tsegaye Tadesse; Editing by Daniel Wallis)

Guys, we will win this war with Eritrea without firing one bullet if we stick with "No war No peace." policy.

We know Esayas is doing a lot of mischifes using Somalia and Ogaden. However, the cheapest way to bit Esayas is to keep on doing what we are doing. Putting Esayas in a checkmate.

Their economy is in a stand still, refuges are coming in a large numbers, eventually, all Eritrean army will surrender to galant Ethiopian forces without firing a single bullet.

Long Live Meles and God Bless Ethiopia!

Yeah whenever some Ethiopians soliders surrender to Eritrea, then Weyane repeated by saying 100 Eritrean came to Ethiopia, that is a cheap propaganda. That is true may be some Eritreans don't like the Eritrean government and entering to Ethiopia, but the truth is it is not that many. Those who surrender to Eritrea you can see them on tv, but those surrender to Ethiopia nobody see them, because it is just a fake news.

Eritrea come back to your mother's arms!
Ethiopia is you mother despite all, she will receive your her arms wide open, her love for you is forever.

Neocolonialsts shame on you! All your stratagems have all failed, and meserably at that! May you learn a lesson from this.
You shall never colonise Ethiopia or Africa! Christian Ethiopia has sanctified the whole of Africa with the blood of Christ, forever to be free!

Shame on those who are self elected cruel leades who always think they are right but every body is wrong; they also believe for any one who opposes or challenges thier leadership must be killed or illiminated by throwing into jails or hunted till he or she left their country.
I believe we Eritrians are 100% Ethiopians as equal as any other ethinics in the country. The only difference we have as histry shows the suffering of my ancisters who were always the first to fight those foreign envaders who tryed to colonize the entire Ethiopia for their own reason such as political, economical or religeon..
As I am writing this comment,Europian talking
how to unify their people but we are talking how we can kill each other for sensless causes. Please let us wakeup and get civilized; their are so many global issues which threatening our existence and the future of our children.

It will be easier if Kunamas expel you from Mered Millash and reunite with Ethiopia, as they are as you say Ethiopians, like the Hamassien, the Serae, The Akele Guzay, The Saheli, etc.. "Eritreans" the creatures of Italia, go back to your creator, your god Italia, you have no place on the land of Ethiopia.

Isayas followers don't represent all the Eritreans. They are ordinary people like
Ethiopians who are cought in the middle
of unfortunate time. When other countries rush for development, Isayas has promissed to train and arm people to make matters worse.

Is it worth forcing young people to stop them from countiuning their education and put them in the army?
Is Ethiopia the enemy of Eritrean people? Wrong! Ethiopia has given the free will to lead their way and got separated from Ethiopia. However, the ungreatful man organized his army and invaded the country that gave him his freedom. You don't break the hand that feeds. Because of Isayas's miss guided and hangry power has caused so many suffering ont only for Eritrean people but also for the Somalis, Ormaia, Ogaden and the Tigrean people.
Eritreans need to understand the problem they have has nothing to do with the Ethiiopian people instead, it is their leader who has generated all this ups and downs.

PEACE for the poor people

Mind you!, 25,000.00 Eritreans are way to much out of three million population of the rouge nation of Eritrea. We can not afford to support these many Eri's, (BIMBIS) we have to get rid of Shabia and free Eritreans, though they can have the freedom they fought fore the past 30 years and steel don't have their freedom, they can't do it and make a state out of Eritrea or them selves without us Ethiopians. Let's us give the lunatic Eritreans a hand, would you!!

Comment from: Yager Lig [Visitor]
The dry corner is getting way too hot for a lot of its citizens including the loyal army members of Isayas Afegimi's army.

Poeple made free choices to separate from the rest of the land that was literally feeding them and now they can not find a way out of their choice to keep the dry land to them selves. We wished you well when you chose to leave the rest of us knowing that you can not be self sufficient with out the rest of the country.

Since your pride was having a port we even gave you one more, what are you going to do with the port now, even the fish got scared of your cult leader and is gone away to the other corner. Are you blind, once you isolated your selves from us it was clear for the rest of the world that you are upto no good and distanced from you.

Now that the corner you so proudly chose is getting bare and the amount of heat you can take has become unbearable you have to shout to Ethiopia to take you back. You are funny people, for Ethiopia to prosper Eritrea must stay disconnected, we have an obligation to teach these people the lesson they deserve not to mess with our beloved country every again.

I would not want Eritrea to join Ethiopia ever again, it will be an anti-Ethiopian who will do such a thing knowing the nature of these trouble makers. I don't mind helping a peaceful Eritrean government but unification is out of the question. Eritrea should be proud of what it has achieved and stay in its dry corner for ever. It will bring nothing but more trouble to Ethiopia.

Mr. I like your comment, it really makes sense, Europe, US, and some Asian Countries are trying to figure out how they can create a strong bond between of them, in contrary us, we are think how can we destroy each other. Thats sad, to see hear, and thats sad knowing that we have anything good to tell for our future generation.

It's possible that some Eritreans may be leaving in order to avoid national service.But I'm a little skeptical about the numbers, especially considering the source of information..no offense people but this information is coming from a government that's allergic to the truth..we saw that during the televised ETV interview regarding the Badme decision.

There you have it… more than 600 people coming to Ethiopian each month! That is more than 7,000 Eritreans entering Ethiopia and who knows how many of them are going to Sudan. Of the 617 entered to Ethiopia 289 were soldiers, that is about 47% of them are directly leaving the military. And the majorities who are leaving Eritrea are leaving their home because they don’t want to join the army. So, Eritrea will be an empty land and the military will turn their back on Iss-ASS. What a poor guy… where are the going to find more people to fight war for them if they are mostly wanting to leave their homeland? very sad!

Not many Eritreans are in Addis Ababa to beg for the freedom of Eritrea from shabiya.
Even those in Ethiopia with woyane 'to fight
Isayas,' I heared never compromise on Eritrean interests. But it is Ur Ethiopian fellows from all corners who are in Asmara begging Isayas to oust Meles for them. So what are U and Ur fellows talking about? Are U the son of zarafewa who try to benefit from the history of Ur forefathers? The time seems up.............)oooops:crazy:

Yager lig of which country, seems like an alien puppet which must repent and recognize the words of our father "Eritreas wealth is with Ethiopia and Ethiopias wealth is with Eritrea",Haile Selassie spoke those words and also witnessed the tribulation of separation. If the horn of Africa was united today away from corrupt neocolonial ideologies how short a time may we change the conditions of mankind not only in Ethiopia but the rest of the world who would value the strength gained in unity.It is a mature and reinvigorated United Nations we seek so that the billions which are squandered in the arms race would be better off used for the amelioration of mans state, success must come only because failure is unthinkable."Where are we to look for our survival, we must first look to GOD who has raised man above every other creatue and endowed him with wisdom so that he would not destroy humanity whom he has created in his own image and likeness, let us repose our faith in GOD" CHRISTUS JESUS AMANUEL The father, son and holy spirit HAILE SELASSIE.

The most disgusting thing to say is we are one ppl. These shabians moto is only to see and to make sure Ethiopia is in misery and we keep on saying one ppl, welcom ect.

Send thes beggars shabiasn either the one who come like refugee or the one who have permision to stay in Ethiopia. You thing it is a miracle that we start having a peace. It is not. we got peace becuasue we sent the parasites home. You can teach many but not shabians. I dont know why many Ethiops get mad about issayas he is doing good for EThiops by panishing those hatefull shabiasn. Ethiopia was home for them and they betrayed us. And now! We never learn. If we do all our kindeness to Somalia or kenya or Sudan we could have achived waht ever our nation hops for.

So ethios lets work hnan in hand with isayas. Send these ppl back home. Especially the one in Shimbal. Then we will never regreat.

Ethiopia is beautifull with out shabia.

Through hard work we make Ethiopia a prosperous country.

The whole shabians fight for Asaba and help terrorists in Somalia is only to deny Ethiopia sea access just to make sure we are in misery. Then why bother to help htese. Lets help our brother in Somalia.

I am disgusted by this news.

Andrew, smoke your Ganja and stay out of this!
Although I consider him wise for his time, I don't consider Ras Teferi a God. He is a fellow human being who is capable of saying wrong stuff like the one you quoted if really said it. Ethiopia with out Eritrea is the best Ethiopia I have ever known in my short life so your quote from Ras Teferi is off target. You come and ask Ethiopians why they have had progress in the past decade they will tell you what is the difference, both Eritreans and Ethiopians know the fact.

You smoking marijuana and reading about Ethiopian history does not make you an expert about our country, we got to live in it and we wish to stay separated from Eritrea, you coming up with quote from Ras Teferi don't mean a squat to an Ethiopian experiencing a better life with out Eritrea. Quote something relevat to reality, don't come up with empty quotes just because you consider the man who said it to be God.

As I said you have no idea what is and is not happening for and against our country so stay out of things you have no real knowledge of.

Eritrea got a big fatal problem in its hand,desertion.Everybody including members of the Armed Forces of Eritrea want to desert their country.There is information that if a fighting starts between Eritrea and Ethiopia the armed forces of Eritrea will never fight but surrender to Ethiopian forces and this will lead to a fall of Affeworki and a regime change in Eritrea.

Comment from: ethiopian man [Visitor]
OK, its a sad story but what can be done, its a fact, many eritreans are fleeing Eritrea to a country which they think is safe. Sudan and Ethiopia are the ideal destination for eritreans who are fleeing their country. The government of Eritrea and its synpathisers seem to be embarrassed by what is happening now. No war no peace situation is affecting eritreaa in a negative way. Ethiopians should welcome our brothers in the north, we need to show them affection and treat them humanely, after all these people who are fleeing Eritrea are our own blood brothers and sisters, its the political boundary which separated these two unfortunate brotherly and sisterly people. Peace to the people of Eritrea and Ethiopia. May the almighty help shaebiya regain healthy mind. Pecefull coexistance is the only solution which can help sustain peace and stability in the region.

Yager Lidj, you are complaining about your own mistake: you should never communicate with your fellow Ethiopians in anything other than the Ethiopian language: in English you leave wide open the door to all the garbage in the World, rastas, foreign agents and so forth.
Unless it is to address world public opinioon, Ethiopian should not talk about their internal affairs in foreign language.
We have now Amharic fonts and keyboards available, we have no reason to write among us in English, unless we are morons.

To all Isayas messengers,

Eritrean leaders kill their own people so it is not surprising to see people fleeing for their life. Isayas supporters insist that their MASS-KILLER leader is a hero. Too bad.

Pleas find the body of "Joshua, A Fighter for Liberation" a man who gave something important. You need to put "Joshua"'s name with his picture on manument for the Eritrean people to remember for his good job what he has done for the children. That would be more valuble than talking trash about the Ethiopian leadership.

I agree with TAMRAT, Ethiopia is beautiful without Eritreans. Those people are cancer to our nation and we need to turn them back to their country where they voted to be separated…
99.5% voted to separate and most of those people who are now coming back to Ethiopia are part of it. Now, they got a problem, it’s not our problem. Let them die for their twisted dirty leader and poor nation. Let the die for the poor nation they bragged day in day out…Get rid of them. I don't care about Eritreans anymore. I want our port back their people out of Ethiopia... no more no less. Our many and energy should not be spent on those people. Remember in the last war, their women’s were assigned to spread their diseases to our military in hope to kill as many military personal as possible. Eritreans use all types of tactics to kill our people and destroy our nation. KEEP THEM OUT:!:

Unity is the only powerful way out of our destitute life at all!!!
Let alone Ethiopia and Eritria, the other Eastern African country like Somalia, Kenyaand&Sudan should come togeather and unify inorder to build real independent East Africa. Europe countries are using one currency, yet we are disintgrating and breaking down to pices and relay on 'aid' which gave us AIDS to devastate the poorest people.
WE really need to think about it how long are we live with symbolizing famine, war, poverty, unrest...???
I always dream that one day we will forsee things.
