Ethiopia rebels blame troops for Afar tourist deaths

Ethiopia rebels blame troops for Afar tourist deaths

Rebels in a remote northern region of Ethiopia have blamed government forces for the deaths of five European tourists in a clash last week.

The Afar Revolutionary Democratic Unity Front (ARDUF) said the deaths occurred when Ethiopian troops fired on a rebel unit which had kidnapped the visitors.

Two Germans still being held by the group are "in good health", the rebel said in a statement.

Ethiopia blames neighbouring Eritrea for backing the rebels.

The clash happened on 17 January in the Afar region near the border with Eritrea.

Two Germans, two Hungarians and an Austrian national were killed in the incident.

Estif,
Is this the way/level you think and write. Ugly language, ugly content. For that matter, the blame rests on Isayas Afewerki, who rules the country with ironfist. No education no knowledge over there.
Thank you Isayas for breeding people like Estif. We need that anyways.

The ERDUF say......
----------
"We assert that the government of Eritrea has nothing to do with incident," the rebels said, adding that claims Eritrea was arming and training the rebels were "baseless and unfounded."
----------

Woyane you need to listen to the PEOPLE'S VOICE !!! and leave Eritrea alone!

http://www.ethiopianreview.com/video/?p=164269

The MOSLEMS cry, the AFARS cry, the AMAHARAS cry, the OROMOS cry, OGADEN bleed and cry, while woyane accuse Eritrea to hide Ethiopian people's frustration

You cannot always come-out with excuses for your crimes. The people of Ethiopia is sick and tired of your CRIMES!

We have noticed that woyane cadre who showed two holes on his shirt (Eth.TV news MIRACULOUSLY though, the (said) bullets did not come close to his body to kill him, as if he is a SUPERMAN LOL...what a lifeless childish liers!!!

Eritreans are engaged on development and We have no any INTEREST of your f--kn troubled diplomacy with your own people.

Do your homework, listen to the people's voice. Instead of replacing them by foreigners, give them their rights!

We need nothing else but PEACE in the Zone!

Typical, Eritreans call themselves Ethiopian whenever they are caught steeling, killing and begging, but this time I don't think they will go unpunished and I am sure the mad dog Isais Afewrqe knows this cos he was in Qatar last night to take orders from his Arab guardian on what to do.

****-
It is known that the 'rebels' did the job, so why blaming the Eritrean government? we have been used to this blame game long time.Ethiopian government should have to be blamed for not ensuring the security of its guests, knowing that the area is infested with various rebel strips.Stop blaming Eritreans and lets do our home chores.

The news shouldn't say a clash. It was a kidnaping and assasination mission by the shabian trained and armed rebles.
Speaking of denial, well, what do you expect from shabia? That's the trade mark of any foot soldier who trained in Sawa terrorist training center. The first lesson is, how to lie and how to deny any accusation you're suspected of. Like the shabian leader isayass aforki "the master of disguise", they are equiped with the words of denial, "fabrication, destortion etc.."
We have heard this kind of denial from Ginbot7, ONLF and OLF groups, who are graduates of Sawa terrorist training center. No surprise here!

Most Eritreans I know still see Ethiopia with the same eyes they saw her back in their hey-days, when Ethiopia was literally dead and they walked allover her with the help of TPLF. hence they seem unable to make the right choice and decisions when it comes to dealing with the current Ethiopia. The thought of having a daily morning FREE Ethiopian coffee in a sunny Asmara under the flag of Eritrea is what every Eritrean yearns for despite the fact that independence means no more Free coffee or Meta beer which they are now smuggling through Djibouti(check some of the Eritrean independence day videos and you will see smuggled Ethiopian bottles of beer with labels taken off). Even those Eritreans that have come to realize the brutality of the man they once worshiped would only say they want peace but nothing less than the pre-1998 arrangement which allowed them a free ride and resulted in disastrous war. So I guise Ethiopia needs to give Eritreans one more lesson just to show them how things have changed and changed for goooooood...one more lesson will put Eritrea and it's saga in the right box and track. It is good for the people of eritrea and it is good for the people of the region. but we can't keep on baby sitting people who don't want to grow!

it is becoming clear now. the rebels kidnap the tourists and the ethiopian soldiers tried to rescue them which in the process five died..but it apears the rebels themselves killed some of the tourists while taking some away.

"The Afar Revolutionary Democratic Unity Front (ARDUF) said the deaths occurred when Ethiopian troops fired on a rebel unit which had kidnapped the visitors"

Do not forget the detailed information that the Ethiopian rebels gave, that the Eritrea government has nothing to do with them or the situation. The rebels are fighting the Ethiopian government for unfair representation in Ethiopia. But Eritrea was not involved and the Ethiopia government is falsely blaming Eritrea again.

Meles and EPRDF are creating instability and violence.

I believe Meles's troops have coused the death of those tourists.

Meles has to GO away so the Afar and all Ethiopian people can live in peace.

There is no excuse to kidnapping or killing innocent people. It is obvious that, this despicable crime on innocent tourists is committed with the help and support the Eritrean Gov. Rest assured, we will hunt them down and bring them to justice. We will make sure that they are completely destroyed and ensure that their capacity to engage in terror in the future is eliminated. For a long time now, Ethiopia has been tolerating the Eritrean Gov’s destabilizing roll in the region, in the hope that the international community could put an end to it. It is clear to us now that the existing limited embargo will not be enough to stop the evil empire.

....
Duri that is a good question, but don't you think eritrea should be responsible since it supports them militarily which eritrea itself doesnt deny. remember 9/11, alqaida and afganistan.
...
shameless the eritan dud,
since when an ertran like you cares for amara, oromo or any ethiopian for that matter???stop embarassing yourself!

We know the kidnapping and assasination was a desparte move commited by ASCARI LANDERS.

Ethiopian AFAR ETHNIC are enjoying the freedom and self administration just like thier brothers/sisters in ETHIOPIA.

Call it ARDUF or what ever the names these are eritreans soldiers disguising as afar rebels to commit thier daily banditry activity do to desparation.

Some of ethiopians barking for a war must first question the following.

Why go to war when the regime in the ascari land is dying slowly?

Why go to war when eritreans are risking thier lifes to cross to Ethiopia?

Are not all the contested border towns under ethiopia after we crushed the invader eritrea?

Despite inflation hight is not ethiopia doing ok when it comes to development?

The action of eplf conspiracy is a sign of its desparate act and VERY MINIMUM BY INTERNATIONAL STANDERDS.

These type of kidnaps happens all over the world inculuding in the SO CALLED SUPER POWER COUNTRIES.

If eritreans have the gut why cant they come and invade ethiopia to claim the contested areas by force?

@Late response to amhara prince regarding my late comment.

Amhara price it shows you dont read between the lines.

I had never said 70%of tigray population was killed during the bloody civil war.

What i said was 70%of each FAMILY lost family members depends on the number of the house hold.

First of all we the tigray people are one of the most honest truthful people on the planet of the EARTH.

You can take that and deposited in your bank.

I am not here to lie or fabricate.For what?to gain what?i careless anyone LOVES ME OR HATE ME.

I am just inputing my two cents and CRUSH ANYONE that trys to demonize my beloved TIGRAY PEOPLE WHO SACARFICED TOO MUCH.

I careless what anti tigray thinks of me or not they can all go to hell and burn them selves.

Me and you and others come from different environment and we see the world in two different prisms.

Dont forget once the entier intellectual community in GERMAN accused,MOCKED ALBERT HANSTIEN TO BE MENTALLY RETARDED,SLOW LEARNER AND STUPIED.

Guess who was right?

No matter how deep and wide the lie of Zinawi and its brutal suppressive regime,the fight against the enemy of ours shall definitely be carried out in all direction until the robber,Zinawi and the men and women who surround him are captured and arrested for what millions of Ethiopians and the rest of the world have been expecting so to see justice will be served.

Well,as per the expectation of Ethiopians and the rest of the world,Zinawi's suppressive regime is close to be collapsed and demolished for good;then,Ethiopians will march for the hunt for the robbers who looted and murdered Ethiopians when they launched a war against Ethiopians and Ethiopia for years,and came into Ethiopia in 1991 being favored by time and the support that they got from the historical and natureal enemies of Ethiopia.

Currently,Zinawi is the most wanted man in Ethiopia;he has been a fugitive from the time he took up arms for robbery and murder of Ethiopians to the years he took up power and carried out contry-wide robbery and murder on all Ethiopians.Although his fate is playing a trick on him and making him feel like he is not one of those dictators who were put down due to the crime they committed on the citizens they suppressed and oppressed,in clandestine,his bitter fate is doing what it is supposed to do leading him to his final arrest and stand for a trial.On trial day,Zinawi will not be asked for confession;rather,he will be questioned on other criminal matters that he has been carrying out for the purpose of hurting Ethiopia.Also,Zinawi will be left to stand before the public and identify himself for what he has been and what he is today and in the future.His wife,Gola Azeb will also be standing side by side along with her criminal husband and will be questioned what and why she was brought into Ethiopia;the rest of the robbers shall also be questioned on their true identity and other related criminal charges that they will be charged for leading to their eternal sleep in hell.Our struggle against our common enemy will continue until the enemy is crushed to its defeat;therefore,all Ethiopians have to focus on removing the enemy from Ethiopia and plan good and well for our country and people.

Can any one assume if both old friends have some kind of weird taught to divert kind of public attention by plotting such things? In any case it is both army killing each other and at the end they will remain free for some time to come.

@ Agazit Woman,
Why dont you advice your shameless Meles to abide by the law and demarcate the border between Eritrea/Ethiopia, IF he really mean peace so that both parts end-up securing their territories and no more accusations/blame towards eachother.

Solve your problems one by one to help you differentiate who your real enemies are. Do not come to complain on Eritrea for your insider frustration. You guys are complicating the matter.

Woyane believe that as long as they keep Eritrea on No-War-No-Peace condition, they can cover all their crimes upon the people of Ethiopia blaming Eritrea. But HOW FAR? Do you think that Ethiopians are brain-dead?

KEEP in mind that the frustrated people of Ethiopia is to stand UNITED against woyane from inside the country and woyane has no one to blame but himself:)
