While detained at Embatkala, General Uqbe Abraha was discovered in the midst of a suicide attempt--using a mirror from his room to slash his throat. He was immediately and secretly transferred to Glass, a military hospital in Keren.  After two days of hospitalization, he was returned back; however, due to injuries sustained, and after enduring suffering for prolonged period, he died in Embtakala on the date mentioned.  Five secretly trained grave diggers, Shfeir amongst them, buried him at night.  It is this incident that caused the PFDJ to build Eiraeiro, with specifications that the building not facilitate suicide and, once built, to transfer them.
