Disrupting growing tourism business
Ethiopian tourist abductions and attacks blamed on Eritrea
(eTN) - Eritrea’s dictatorial and radical regime has been fingered by Eritrean opposition groups, Ethiopian, and other international sources for alleged complicity in the recent spate of attacks on foreign tourists and abductions, as Ethiopian rebels granted safe havens inside Eritrea are suspected to have carried out the attacks.
A source in Addis Ababa, insisting on anonymity – not a strange demand considering the zipped-up attitude of the entire country vis-a-vis even friendly media – suggested that the rebels were aiming to disrupt the growing tourism business in Ethiopia to harm the country’ economy before adding that the country’s return to Somalia was in part to eliminate Eritrean-sponsored terrorist groups constantly inflicting hit-and-run attacks on Ethiopia.
“Eritrea thinks they are safe inside their territory, but the time will come when terrorists can no longer hide or be hidden as someone will come for them. The rescue of Americans from Somali terrorists should be the last reminder that it can happen anywhere, and there is now even the option of aerial survey and missions,” the source said, showing the growing anger and frustration in Ethiopia with neighbor Eritrea.
The two hostile neighbors fought a bitter war a decade ago over disputed border lines, which even a United Nations effort to map out the exact boundary lines could not defuse. Eritrea is widely suspected to be playing a major supportive role for the Somali Al Shabab and other Islamic radical groups, offering training grounds and supplies, as most recently seen when Kenya entered the conflict in hot pursuit of terrorist groups. Kenya went on to witness air supplies being delivered from Eritrea to the radicals and deployed Kenya air force units, which now control the skies over that part of Somalia, making renewed air supplies all but impossible to achieve.
Isolated in the region, Eritrea has been shunned from participating in IGAD and other regional bodies and affairs attempting unsuccessfully so far to bring about a change in behavior, which many observers feel must either come swiftly, voluntarily, and comprehensively or else might the Asmara regime be targeted directly to bring about the change that country needs to fully develop.
Meanwhile and predictably, Asmara has denied any involvement in the abductions but notably also done nothing to evict the terrorists from Eritrean soil, leaving relatives and friends of those missing, deeply worried about the safety of their loved ones.

What a stupid article...How is this supposed to be a news while it only takes the Ethiopian regime's opinion without taking any of ARDUF's or the Eritrean government's. This is a very clear indicative that the article is totally biased & good for nothing.
Shame on you eturbonews.com!!
Wolfgang, how much did you got paid to put this garbage, you claim to be a doctor, you should be ashamed of yourself, very poor analysis with no proof to substantiate, you sound you got paid handsomely for this eye-sour garbage .
The author is very idiot. Ethiopia is more dictator than Eritria.
Dr. Wolfgang, please use your head (if you have one, as you have indicated by your title Dr.) before you make a fool of yourself. Where did you get your education? Are you really a prof.? Whatever happend to doing a little research on Eritrean history before you write garbage?
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
This is by far the most stupid, arrogant,ignorant and irresponsible article that I have read from rackless so called Doctor. Sir, you have no idea what you are talking about. First you are writing this garabge because it happens to Europian. Its unfortunate incedence,but you need to get your fact straight before you point your finger.You need to learn from Kenya ghost plane fiasco.
This article has got to be the most ignorant and misleading piece of work that I've ever come across. This unfortunate event is an internal Ethiopian affair that is related to groups who have felt marginalized by their government for years on end. By the way, if you're going to lie, at least make it somewhat believable. By the way, the UN has reported that Kenya's accusations were false and completely unfounded. Why didn't you report that? Please tell the truth if that is even possible for you.
We know all about Eritrea helping to fight our Ugandan boys in Somalia. Let the terrorist godfathers be exposed and this terrorist apologizer be identified and asked many relevant questions. Eritrea is a cancer in East Africa like Taliban Afghanistan was. And our media in East Africa write about that too, so good parrots they are also.
Yours faithfully
Mukasa Fred M. Not afraid to speak against terrorists and their supporters
you are the stupit person not the writer. You don't know Eritrea and the people of ERITREA. You are Eseyasand money worshiper
we need to do more than denouncing to bring dawn the criminal dictator in Eritrea. We effectively have to challenge the dictator's supporters in the diaspora and influence the inside Eritrean prisons to fellow the footsteps of the Arab spring.
The dictator in Eritrea put us in meyhem and he have to be challenged by force. the criminal dictator does not listen to talks only force will make leave the docket he got by killing hundreds of thousands.
We need free Eritrea.
The writer is right. The dictatorial regime in Eritrea must be removed from power in order millions of people in East Africa to live in peace.
He win for war with Sudan, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Yemen..all neigboaring even across the sea. Dictator eseyas has to leave power for Eritrean people to live in peace with neighboaring countries.
We need to work from inside Eritrea and diaspora to bring change and unseat the diabolic leader. Ethiopia as a neighboar can help us do this
Wolfgang,your name doesn't sound right to be ugandan jornalist unless your a paid agent who write anything and everything to black mail the Eritrean gov't. It seems like you have so much hate for Eritrea to write such garbage what a pethetic loser are you. maybe you should have tell your German's friend not to go that area.
You need to do some independent research before you do what it seems copy and paste from the Ethiopian website.Where is the other side of the story-the Eritrean side.The wording you are using,the conflicting ideas sugest you are more sinister and have a hidden agenda than it seems.You last sentences say all-the author of this junk is either ignorant or demogague
You are indid a Wolf and Gang that is very harmful to the people of Ethiopia and Eritrea. You clearly are misinfomred or deliberately misleading. Eritrea has been cleared by the UN for upplying arms to Alshabab by Air, as the entire airspace is under control of the US, Kenya and Ethiopia. Are the Eritreans so high tech and intelligent to outmanouver the powerful country on earth to deliver to Alshaba with which Eritrea has no common ground on anything? That is flately stupid.
I have only to things to say
1. the Author is either a parrot
2. He is an ignorant stupid man all in one package how efficient of him.
Neither of them are good.
