what a FRAKING TRAGEDY on ALL SIDES.
I thought ELF killed Solomon Woldemariam...i guess he escaped?
Quote:
Then Selomon was promoted to leader of Fadeyeens. I was very glad that my leader was promoted. But Selomon refused to this promotion. He insisted to
be given the new batch of trainees from Addis who were in Barka now, to be given to him. He proposed that the fadeeyens already there were useless in
cities and towns, good only inside the fields or rural areas. He wanted the Addis batch to be trained to him. But this made them suspicious since
Issayas had already fled. Perhaps some persons had leaked out information. Selomon and Berakhi were taken prisoners and hands tied right in front of
us. They took away my gun and gave me a stick and put me with the Addis batch. We were not aware the Addis batch were held as hostages. All were
Christians, 108 in number, in three fesila of 35 each and I was added to them. Selomon was tortured tied on a rope and thrown down to roll as a ball,
pull him up and throw him again. They thought we were in league with Issayas. They may have got information that Selomon had met Issayas. And
Selomon's asking to be given the Christians must have added their suspicions, one can add it up later.
They missed the 108 victims from Addis Abeba that came to fight that were all killed except for 3 by ELF...according to Tesfa michael.
also forgot to add the killing of Two of Isaiais buddies by ELF in broad daylight in Kassala....one stabbed 30 times and 1 shot in the head.
i am sure there is alot that needs updating on this list. [source http://redsea1.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=4594672]

Khuro Tseba says:
What you are doing is interesting and might give an insight into this complex history of ELF and EPLF. It would broaden our understanding of the whole issue.
There are two things though that don’t seem right. You seem to downplay the killing of those two most important heros and seem to say ‘it is ok’ for ELF to kill those two. If they were the leaders and purged, do you think their subordinates would be spared by the killer, who ever they were? Is this a prelude to clear ELF from its tarnished history of killings? I hope that your next similar article would not tell us that martyrs like Melaake Tekle were not killed by ELF leaders. How sinister Isayas might be, irrespective of the number, highlanders from Addis universities were purged. Now you can rationalize on thier killings of those victims as you have interestingly enough done with killing of Fallol- the mish-mash…anarchists….insubordinate…. to borrow your words. This also begs another question ofcourse. From whose point of stand were the fallol mish-mash mutineers….anarchists….insubordinate…and whatever name you are using to call them? So it is ok for you for the ELF to kill these ‘mish-mash mutineers’ who so happen to question the leadership as if the ELF leadership itself was not full of intrigues and conspiracies to allow itself to stay in power? It is a fact that the few ELF leaders, just like thier EPLF counterparts, stayed in power for that long through conspiracies, coercion, and purgation. And when ‘mish-mash mutineers’ have a demand, you don’t simply purge them like that summarily.
The second interesting things is your strong conviction in using Ghebremedihn zegergish’s article or book as the most compelling evidence to disproof the claimed calamity that befell on srryet addis. What he has written is just one person’s outlook. You beat the drum as if a conclusive evidence has been excavated. I say lets just wait and many more people will eventually come forward and share their experiece. It just a matter of time. Then we will most probably be closer to the truth. As much as it is mindboggling for you on why the ELPF leaders have not brought forward some of the list of names the alleged victims, it is also so for most of us on why the ELF leaders has not done enough to teach and inform the public that sryet addis insident was an orchestrated bogus claim.
Lets hope that digging the past does not pull us back to ugly scene of the 50 and 60.

Dear Awate team,
Awate.com has proclaimed its slogan: “inform, inspire, embolden, reconcile.” The team has given a judgmental conclusion to the history that start to open its book but yet has a lot of undiscovered truth to the complex Eritrean revolution. If I am not wrong, the team as an editorial board of an institution of the budding Eritrean news industry, should strictly stay with informing the public in order to make an informed and conscious judgment.
I have seen many unforced errors in your judgment in your investigative report, at time giving many negative political connotations derived from limited individual perspectives. Some of the negative connotations in your remarks are “mish- mash,insubordinate,troublemakers,anarchist…etc.” Instead of trying to influence the public by your judgement, as an investigative reporters, you should have left to the public to make themselves an informed judgment. In fact you should make aware the public also, that the info in itself is incomplete, because (a) due to the obstacles that time and space has created (b) due to the insufficient sources of information we have at hand. When history revealed fully the important layers of truth to the public in due time, you will be judged for your miss-judgement. Now your judgment fits snugly within the pattern of the divided society.
As much as you are the main source of information, the public would like you to restrain from unnecessary historical judgment, which I am afraid by the way, not to be detrimental to the reputations, you have harvested so far. Stick with your slogan. The public will determine whether they have enough info to make their own judgment.
Hameed says:
First of all I thank awate.com and primarily Gebremehim for his witness about our struggle in its critical period. The people of Eritrea expects all who have information to come out of their hide and give their witness.
I think no sane person will confine our history in the experience of one or two persons. The actors were thousands of Eritreans and each and everyone has a different experience from the other, therefore instead of underrating the witness we get, they should encourage others to do the same. The people of Eritrea wants to get the reality and curb the liars from feeding on historical events. Jabha is neither negative nor positive hundred percent and the same with Shabia. Divulging of the reality will protect the people of Eritrea from those who employ it for their menial agendas.
Some of the Srriyat Addis members may be alive, I hope to come out and witness what happened to them and even some of the leaders of ELF also may be alive, therefore we call them to inform the people what had happened before four decades and beyond. Anyhow, after the collapse of the regime the Eritrean media outlets will be congested with information that we will not get time to read or listen to. The lucky ones who will get more attention will be those who witness today.

Dear awate team,
Quote ” Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence”
I was expecting the study would start, by the two already named, martyrs. what was the reason of their killing? If they were organizing the highlanders, to have a new wudib, ( which I assume) what was the reason behind, which made them to do so? Was there any reason, that made an innocent highlander, to trust the so called Nihnan Elamanan? ( Blatant lie doesn’t have roots, and the stems never grows)
As a young and disillusioned Eritrean( I consider my self young, because my elder never wanted to be old and transfer a true history to me, though I am approaching 40′s) I didnt get the study document fair. The only thing I can understand from the whole story is, that Jebha was still a killer to any body and anybody, who had a different idea, by branding them different names.
Moreover, what I dont really get it is, that, if this study was trying to defend ELF, Jebha was not killing christians only, but many moslem brothers were killed by the leadership. So, it is like, please highlanders, understand that we were not targeting you guys, just because of your religion and ethnicity. But we were targeting any body, no matter its ethnic or religion. Hence, not progressive. No wonder it eventually failed.
I would better say, ( painfully that it was authored by the killer by himself) Nihnan Elamanan, was a document that exposed part of ELF’s bad deeds.
Another, that really amazed me is that, the awate team never tried( at least to my knowledge) to contact the members of quiada al ama, being many of them in the opposition camps. But still complains, about the junta in Asmara, for refusing to give the list of the rest 298 people. The whole general command was in Hishferay to meet Siryet addiss, Imagine, how much weight, the Siryet addis had, but no body gave any attention to what happened later, at least for curiosity sake.
Please save me for next article.
thanx

Dear Saleh,
I appreciate the initiative of the team to open into the past to help writers with pieces of factual documents, and the young to gain clearer picture of the past in building their own dreams.
Did your informant, Gebremedhin Zerezghi, give you the names of those ‘crushed’ and ‘killed’? Are you convinced as well, ‘others crushed’, ‘others killed’, and ‘…’ had always happened as in the day light crime as in Rasai, the Sudan? My clue for the researcher, your team, would be – kaliAy Kebri zigheberu weledin biTsimona Hazenom ziATsewwun mihtat! I hope you get the resources. By the way, if I may ask, are you commissioned by any body ‘ELF’ to do this research?
cheers!!!

Thanks Awate! the darkest side of our struggle history must be revealed regardless of who committed what but it is very crucial to teach our kids about their history. History should not be distorted or inclined but the truth must be said on heaven's fall. Esyas is not the only criminal we have had however there are many hidden criminals who slept on Eritrean blood. Some have committed mistakes without knowing or forced to do by their superiors, some have joined the struggle for personal interest and as servants of the foreigners, some were deeply mislead by their bigoted commanders who were motivated by regional and religious points of view. However, there must be a balance between the incidents happened and the golden age lost in serving Eritrea and Eritreans. We have to look on the positive sides too!
