Eritrean terrorist group armed to the teeth managed to enter southern Ethiopia

Tigrai Online, Ethiopian News, May 12, 2016

The Eritrean government tried to sneak in a highly trained and armed to the teeth terrorist group to Ethiopia, but failed.

Ethiopian National Intelligence and security service – NISS reported that an Eritrean armed terrorist group entered Southern Ethiopia this week, but they were caught before they can carryout their mission by Ethiopia security forces.

The group who was trained, armed, and transported by the Eritrean government tried to avoid detection by the Ethiopian intelligence and security agencies by using a totally different route.

The Eritrean government changed each individuals name and passport to disguise their identity. The armed group flew from Eritrea to Uganda and from Uganda they dove to Kenya then the entered southern Ethiopia.

The Eritreans didn’t realize the Ethiopian National Intelligence and security service knew about the Eritrean plan from its inception and they were following the groups every move even when they were inside Eritrea, (by the way does this remind you a recent extraordinary event? The Mola Asgehdom saga comes to mind).

NISS tracked the groups movement from Eritrea to Uganda then to Ethiopia through Kenya. The group assuming they were not detected started to get ready for their evil mission in the jungle of Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples – SNNP state. Still the NISS was watching them like a hawk further studying their moves and connections. The terror cell continued its preparation to carry out various terrorist acts. Then Ethiopian forces from NISS, Federal Police and the Anti-Terrorism Task Force moved in and surrounding the group.

Most of the group members surrendered to the Ethiopian forces, but some tried to escape by fighting their way out. All those who tried to escape were killed in the fire fight with Ethiopian security forces.

The Ethiopian forces captured many guns, hand grenades, ammunitions, and other military armaments with group.

The Eritrean government has sent terrorist groups countless times to infiltrate Ethiopia from the north and every attempt has been foiled by the gallant Ethiopian security forces. Due to the great distance from the tiny nation to southern part of Ethiopia and the fact that Ethiopia has effectively evicted any Eritrean forces from Somalia, Eritrea almost always tries infiltrate the northern border of Ethiopia. This latest attempt could be one of two things. One the Eritrean regime is so desperate it will do whatever to achieve its goal which to destabilize the much bigger and much stronger neighbor, Ethiopia. Or it could be the gangsters in Asmara are trying to reinforce their terror groups in the Oromo region.

NISS said the Eritrean armed group is in custody and they will be interrogated by the Ethiopian authorities.

The Ethiopian Prime Minster made thise speech about a year ago. After he made this speech, Eritrea sent its terror group through Adi Arkai on December 10, 2015, Eritrean soldiers kidnapped eighty five Ethiopians from Tigrai state , PFDJ is working to destabilize Ethiopia through OLF and now this. Well then was the Ethiopian Prime Minster making this speech for public consumption, because Eritrea never stopped its destablizing actions, but Ethiopia is doing the same thing it was doing before Putting out fires that were started by Shabiya and crying about it.
