Ethiopia - British Embassy tourists in Ethiopia released

Britons seized in Ethiopia freed
Eight Ethiopian staff who had been with the group when they were captured had still not been released


BBC News

A group of British embassy workers kidnapped in northern Ethiopia 12 days ago have been released, Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett has said.

The workers - four Britons and one French citizen - had been released into the care of the authorities in Eritrea, she said.

The party were apparently on a sightseeing tour when they were abducted on 1 March.

Mrs Beckett said the members were safe and were "broadly all in good health".

They were all undergoing medical checks and being cared for at the British Embassy in Eritrea's capital Asmara, she added.

But eight Ethiopian staff who had been with the group when they were captured had still not been released, she added.

"We continue to be concerned about the wellbeing of the Ethiopians who were taken at the same time as the British group," she said.

Ethiopia government say European hostages 'safe'
THE FIVE Western tourists kidnapped in Ethiopia nearly two weeks ago have been freed and are safe, Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett announced this afternoon.

Mrs Beckett said the five were found in the border country of Eritrea and are well. She said they were being cared for at the British embassy in Asmara, the Eritrean capital.

The five - three British men, an Anglo-Italian and a French woman - are all linked to the British Embassy in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa:

* Peter Rudge, first secretary, British Embassy
* Jonathan Ireland, administrative support, British Embassy
* Malcolm Smart, Department for International Development
* Laure Beaufils, Department for International Development
* Rosanna Moore, wife of the head of the British Council

They were traveling in a small convoy that also carried eight Ethiopian translators, drivers and guides. The whereabouts of the Ethiopians was not immediately clear.

The five Westerners went missing on 1 March on a tourist trip to northern Ethiopia to visit geological sites in the remote Afar region.

Two vehicles belonging to the group were later found abandoned in the north-eastern village of Hamedali. The vehicles were riddled with bullets, but still contained luggage and mobile phones.

Hopes for the release of the hostages were raised on the weekend. Ethiopia's prime minister, Meles Zenawi, said then that his officials had a "good idea" where the hostages were being held. He said the embassy staff had not been specifically targeted and suggested that their seizure might have been a "mistake" by their captors.

The village of Hamedali, where the vehicles were found, is a staging post for intrepid tourists willing to withstand temperatures of 50C (122F) to venture into the unique geological formations of the Danakil Depression, including the area's famous salt lakes. Visitors are warned to travel in convoy with armed guards because of rebels and bandits.

According to witnesses, 50 men burst into the village, some of them armed, and marched a group towards the country's border with Eritrea.

The Afar region bordering Eritrea and southern neighbours Djibouti has a history of kidnappings, ending in the release of captives.

woyane hunter, if that's the case then they should be brought to justice in Eritrea, meaning they will rot in a hot metallic container for years; but what if they are innocent people from afar...?

They are innocent until proven guilty thus we should push for their immediate release and show some respect to ourselves...

To All

First of all this crisis gets a high profile attention because of the British were involved. Now they are released, I am very much concerned about the rest of Ethiopian hostages still captured. If the Zenawi government looks the other way from making sure the release of these people, the rest of the world are watching & the publicity won't be preety.

To all concerned Ethiopians:

this is a question of loving Ethiopia or not. It is not politics as usual.

All Ethiopians held hostage by Eritrea should be released, or else all Ethiopians who love Ethiopia should fight for them.

If they are not released, it just proves once again Eritrea (shabya0 is undermining Ethiopia's sovereignty. How many times can Ethiopia give in!! First of all to say that the eritrean govt. Pressured tribal leaders to release the hostages (the British) is bgus! They know damn well and they did it, but committed a stupid blunder once again.

They should get out of their mess as quickly as possible by releasing our fellow brothers, Ethiopians. The Ethiopian govt. Should use every means (hopefully it will be solved diplomatically to protect our Ethiopian brothers), to protect its citizens. That is what a government's #1 role is. Just like the British govt. Did to get its citizens released safely, the Ethiopian govt. Should do at minimum the same effort, if not more to get it's citizens free.

Let's hope they will be released soon, and every concerned Ethiopians of all political leanings should fight for this leaving their rhetoric, if they are true Ethiopians!

End.

Arogit,

It is Shabea, your wushima's party, who is responsible for the abduction NOT Cud. And, the Ethiopians are as equal humans as the Europeans are, so your master Meles has a lot more to do. It is actually the beginning of the story for us Ethiopians, it might be the end of the story for Europeans like you who is a descendant of Swedish and German couple.

Rumor has it that the 8 hostages being still held in Eritrea are from Adwa,Tigray.Meles was so infuriated last time when he was in Mekele for they were from his village.

Should we demand their release? I don't think so. They were from the death squad who terrorized Addis back in June and May 2005!

EPLF/TPLF KIDDNAPING AND RELESEING DRAMA

The above two groups call them liberation movements or political parties or goverements they are the worst terror organization .

Since there conception until now there skill ,experence in kidnapping and teroor is extera ordibary.

We do not know who is behind the kiddnaping ,who told the location sof the foreign turist and who organized the release is to be told.

Thses two groups are not only kiddnaping and terrorizing individuls but they are kiddnapping their own people.

Their propagandist ,cadres ,bandist and blind followers are preaching the contrary.

The people of Ethiopia has started the stuggle,they will continue to do so the struggle will end with the will of the majority of the Ethiopian people.

The TPLF/AGame gang should be exposed to who they are what their tribal mentality is what dark secret and contempt they have for the nation and other ethnic group.

Now, who is looking out for the Ethiopian hostages? It sounds like that the whities are released everybody is relieved. Life is life. Issayas should be forced to release the Ethiopians as well. Let me tell you why the Brits are released. This is my intuition. The Brit gov told issayas secretly that he would release their people or they were going to bomb Asmara to ashes. That is how the big powers deal with little rascals like Eritrea. Ethiopia should do the same. This is a cause to take decisive action. The Ethiopian gov will get public support if it goes after shaabia to rescue Ethiopian citizens.

The Eritreans has to tip the British what’s going on inside Ethiopian territory. Imagine, the UN peace keeping is right in the entire 25 K/m buffer zone inside Eritrean border so Just learn how the eritreans are well informed

Ewnetu, you're right whether they release the Ethiopian hostages or not Shaebia must bare responsibility for its activities. Our government has to do what it takes to clear out this anti peace agent, so that our country fully focuses on its development activities. With Shaebia to the north, Ethiopia's peace would very much remain challenged. The terrorist Shaebia must go!!!

Yergachefee, Lekim and Yaha,

If the eight ethiopians are from Tigre tribe they may have a chance to be released in exchange for some TPLF detaines but if they are from other tribe nobody care about them and they will be digging the road like OPDO and APDO until time come tot be free.The two armed guards have little chance to be released because a guerllas can keep them as POW since they strike Tax-collection centere before they abduct the foreigners.

This incident proved Woyane government will do anything blame Eritrea even when they know it is a lie.
This tells you the end of woyane is coming soon but not sooner. All embrace yourself the innocent Ethiopian in jail will sonn be free.
Then there should be a new
jail in Afar just for woyane and supporters.
It is pay back time.

To be honest with you. I trust Shabya over Weyane. I think Weyane did it becouse the PM said "they were not a target, they were just in the wrong place"

What does Meles meant with saying
" the embassy staff had not been specifically targeted and suggested that their seizure might have been a "mistake" by their captors" ????


I am with doubt that Shaebiya is playing the same game of Hezbollah played to be in war with Israel. If that is the case, Shaebiya is again in a big trouble. We must finish him this time. NO mercy

Piece of Information.

As usual the TPLF regime blamed the Eritrean government for the lack of security on its side. All the kidnapping drama was carried out inside Ethiopia's sovereign land. The captors, according to Eritrean news agency, are Afar Revolutionary Democratic Front, a group fighting against the Tigrian sectarian dictatorship in Ethiopia. The British and French governments will also speak on the details after the Ethiopians are released. No lies can be fabricated by the TPLF regime now since the whole world will know the truth. Another big blow to Woyane.

Woyane Hunter

so what your going to hate me because im from tigray.

And plus i was at Ethiopia when they shot the 191 people.

Ok fist of all there is a reason those people died, they shot at police, they beat the crap out this one dude etc. What do you think the government should do 191 isnt even alot.

If you shot at cops they have the right to shoot back.

The Cud supporters killed a cop, what do you want them to do just watch. like there human they have to defend them selves.

The CUD suppoters came with guns, what do want the cops to think.

what in the world is "Yefyelchegger"?


Well, your story goes like this:

Descendants of Kaldi, his goat and the coffee bean.

LEGEND HAS it that sometime in or near the year AD 600, a goat shepherd Kaldi noticed a change in his goats' behaviour. After eating the cherry-like fruits of a particular bush, they began to run and jump, full of excitement. Curious, Kaldi decided to try out the cherry-like fruits for himself and realized that he also felt full of energy. Intrigued, Kaldi took some of the bush's fruit and branches to a nearby monastery where he shared the unusual events with the Abbot who then decided to cook the fruit and branches. After tasting the bitter liquid that resulted the Abbot threw the entire pot into the fire. Soon, however, when the cherry-like fruits started to burn, a delightful aroma filled the air and an idea occurred to the Abbot. He would investigate making a drink based on the roasted cherry-like fruit (what we now call beans) and the first version of the beverage known today to millions as coffee was born.
It said that Arab traders took the plant to the southern tip of the Arabian penninsula, now known as Yemen, where the cultivation of coffee began.


Today, the Arab traders have given way to the single biggest trader in that region , the all possessing Sheik. The descendant of that excited goat is said to have become a king somewhere in the horn, but the ancient Yirgacheffeeይርጋጨፍ coffee bean eaten by that goat has evolved through a combination of an immediate digestive process and long term genetic mutation into today’s Yefyelcheggerየፍየልጭገር planted in the behind of that Goat King.

May Kaldi's soul rest in peace,

Ra, the shepherd.
