Ethiopia deny claims by rebel group that their troops shot foreign tourists

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia
— A high-ranking Ethiopian government official says a rebel group’s claim that Ethiopian troops killed five European tourists during a gun battle is “pure fiction”.

Ethiopia’s foreign affairs spokesman Dina Mufti said Monday that the statement was completely untrue. Ethiopia has blamed its archenemy Eritrea for the incident.

An unverified Jan. 21 statement claiming to be from an obscure rebel group in Ethiopia’s arid northern Afar region claimed gunmen clashed with Ethiopian soldiers. The Afar Revolutionary Democratic Unity Front says the five foreigners were killed in the battle.

Ethiopian govt shouldn't even respond to this shabian childish and stupid accusation. Our respond should be only to invade that cursed land called artera and get rid of the evil minded jealous isayass aforki with his foot soldiers. There is no other way. How long can we tolerate this nonesense?

the Ethiopian empire, the most criminal on the continent will get its price eventually and inevitably collapse. You amharas, and tigre, consider going to your home land and form your Abyssinian state there. why would you like to cling on us. what do you have from ogaden? what do we share? and the afar and oromos also do not want you. so why you guys cry Ethiopia. Just go back to your country and make your destiny there. you may suffer hunger for the time being, but if you work hard you can change that. try your chance. don't cry and insist on others. we dont want you. leave the ogaden alone! not only the ogaden, leave our cushetic brothers alone, leave oromo alone, leave the afar alone, leave the sidamas alone! Leave us alone.

if not, what i afraid is that,we wont forgive you. we will retaliate. we will get you. we will take this revenge. the generation of this pastoralist worriers to come will give you hard time. but it would be nice that we resolve this matter peacefully, before its too late. Lets not be enemy for good. keep your country, we keep ours.

the american and Europeans will not continue to assist you in sustaining this christian empire. You belive or dont, it wont stay like this for good. the will defenately come. it would be wise to free all illegally occupied people and land before it get too late.

its one thing to fight a government and completely different to murder defensless innocent people.
i say, ones the remaining tourists are freed, ethiopia should retaliate the death of these innocent people and others by bombing asmera for hosting and arming these killers. its time for ethiopia to whoop some shabia ass and show what ethiopia is capable of.

the recent killings in Afar region is a sign of tension and danger still exist in Ethiopia. especially its is fueled by the enmity exist between Eritrea and Ethiopia. as we know the terrorist regime in Asmara would do what ever it can to hurt ethiopia. The eplf was famous for assassination and kidnapping during their war of seccesion. so nothing new. A snake won't stop his genome as long as it lives. The eplf venom has caused enough problem in Ethiopian political evolution. told is the one responsible to let an enemy of the worest one to be created next door. I have no opposition to Eritrean independence. Because we had to get peace in ethiopia Eritrea had to go. So we can focus in our problem. But the Eritrean referendum was hijacked by blood thirsty mafia so the Eritrean ambition to be peaceful and Democratic Eritrea has been twarted so ws have the North Korea of Africa just to the north. At least north Korea Don t meddle on others country affairs. As such weyane also opened the door for eplf to meddle inside Ethiopia and to weaken it from inside by weaking the army allinating majority Ethiopian and party under the name of chauvinists. War mongers so that why Eritrea picked the right tome in1998 to attack Ethiopia. Why would an Afar party Arduf would trust Eritrea to attack Ethiopia because the Afar people dont like Shania they hate eachother because Shania had committed crime in denkalia longtime ago. the stars always want to be joined with others stars in the region . They voted no in the referendum.not to be separated from their majority brothers in Ethiopia. So the attack of last week was sponsors by Eritrea just to divert ethilpia attention on Somalia plus to make Ethiopia a dangerous state for tourists so it is a multi faceted campaign by Eritrea to leave no stone unturned so unless eprdf bring all parties who are disfuncted allinated.
Over the years just in the interest of political score, Ethiopia won t be safe with its diverse and complicated politics

The same as they did after making asassinating inocent peoples by their puppets so called OPDO recruited bandits at Bedeno .Than in 2000 against Anuyaks ,2005 in Addis accusing the pacifist manifestants as terrorists launching hand bombs against their blood sucker Agazis . From 2000 until now concerning the massacres comitted against villagers in the Ogaden and many other parts of the country also in Mokadicio .Adgi and Jiljilu you want to launch the hostalities with your then Master Issayas and your Eri bros !!!!Engideh Kene Leba Meryatchew Eskene Lekes Agaziatchewna kilib bandatchew mengedun tchirk yadergilatchew ,but do not expect the single assistance from the Ethiopian Peoples whom you are miss treating so much .As said our dear elders "Belekossut Esat melesso mekatel ayekerem!!!" .

Meles on one hand claims to be strong man in the region and invading neighboring countries and comes to cry that he is weak and is being attacked by Eritrea.

This is all his way of cunning because he is afraid of Ethiopians because they are showing him signs of their strength and unity to throw him out.

It is also to distract the momentum that is building strong so he can cling to power for more time.

EPRDF armies are now divided. The no longer can be controlled by Meles or his few Tigrea top commanders who are being ignored everyday. The Tigrean themselves disarrayed and hysteric over Mele’s disloyalty towards them. Meles is surrounded by Eritreans who themselves have no connection with Meles.

Meles needs to be brought to the Hague international court for genocide against Anuak people, slaughter of innocent Ethiopians in 2005, and the list of crimes go on and on. Ethiopia should then get a competent leader who is willing to work with Eritrea for mutual benefit of both peoples.
