In 2005, the international commission in the Hague accused Eritrea for starting the 1998-2000 border war with Ethiopia. Over the years, Eritrea has started big and small battles against Yemen, Ethiopia, Sudan and Djibouti.
In 1998, Eritrean troops invaded Ethiopian territories using an excuse that they were defending themselves. On
Saturday this week, the Eritrean Ministry of Information published an article
claiming it repelled an attack by Ethiopian troops at Zalambesa. Will
history repeat itself again and Eritrea start another war using its excuses?
Is the angry Eritrean President planning to scapegoat the UN sanctions
for his latest invasion?
- Have your say
The following is an article from Eritrean Ministry of Information
Zalambesa, 2 January 2010: In the early morning hours of January 1st
2010, TPLF soldiers launched successive attacks in the Zalambesa front
and were swiftly driven back with 10 of their soldiers killed and two
captured, leaving six AK-47 automatic rifles, a machinegun and
communication equipments.
