September 12, 2015 (KHARTOUM) – A well placed Sudanese source revealed today that a dissident Ethiopian general fled to Sudan on Friday evening along with his soldiers after clashes with the Eritrean army.

The source who spoke to the Turkey-based Anadolu news agency on condition of anonymity said that General Mola Asgedom who heads the Tigray People’s Democratic Movement (TPDM) that is based in Eritrea, arrived at the Sudanese town of Hamdait at the border triangle between Eritrea, Ethiopia and Sudan.

He explained that Asgedom escaped to Sudan after armed clashes broke out with the Eritrean army at the outskirts of the Eritrean city of Omhajer on Friday morning.

The source went on to say that Asgedom and 683 of his forces handed over their weapons to the Sudanese authorities.

He explained that Khartoum succeeded in preventing the escalation of clashes between Asgedom’s forces and the Eritrean army and evacuated the soldiers to Wad al-Hilu town in Kassala State while their leaders were transferred to unspecified areas inside Sudan.

He added that 7 of the Ethiopian opposition forces were killed during the pursuit by Eritrean troops to its western border with Ethiopia and Sudan.

Eyewitnesses in the border areas said they heard gunfire during the clashes, noting that the entrance of Ethiopian opposition forces to Hamdait created a state of confusion among the population.

A pro-Ethiopian opposition TV confirmed that Asgedom turned himself in to the Sudan, without giving details.

The Eritrea-based Ethiopian opposition coalition consider TPDM to be the military wing while the Ginbot 7 of Berhanu Nega lead the political forefront.

Ethiopia also backs Eritrean opposition groups in the context of proxy wars between the two longtime foes.

    This HGDF leader got used to reshuffle those Eritrean so called generals/ministers, as he wanted. Now, he thinks he can do that with Demhit, I guess, they rebuffed him. I can see how furious is this knucklehead, isayas. I am expecting Asmara bars are out of Blue Label by now.

      Weyane’s are not Arab slaves or Abeed. It is Issaias and some few Arab wannabe fakes who think like the ignorant Saudi Arabians, the Arab Bedouins and Rashaidas. We have been classless nobodies running after Arab Abeeds.

      temesghen fetari, Isaias or the Arabs tried it for ages to sabotage the Ethiopian economy but they all failed and they will continue to fail in the future as the almighty watches and protects Ethiopia and Israel all the time. Bihaki temesgen fetari for the peace and development going on in Ethiopia. Similarly, and in a near future we will see massive development and peace in Eritrea as well.

        “the almighty watches and protects Ethiopia and Israel all the time” what??? Don’t you know, that you (Ethiopian) are African black. May be, you are one of those people who say, they are not black, but Ethiopian.

    DMHIT might even take over Isayas Afewerki’s power if it is necessarily. Isayas Afewrki might be under-arrest by DEMHIT group

    It exposes how weak HGDF is. I hope it encourage the Eritrean opposition and the Eritrean army to do something to save the Eritrean people from the tyranny of hgdf junta.

  • Hard to Swallow September 14, 2015

    OHHHHH…….. Eritrea ,

    It is time to act against Isaias , he is now left alone . He trust no one . Eritrean Defense Force must unite to hit the devil . This man has no purpose in life . Right from the beginning he didn’t go to the jungle for Eritrean liberation , he was a cheap dog for Amhara paid to do a dirty work . Since then he is fooling around the whole country .

    Eritreans especially inside Eritrea open your eyes , this guy is the most coward person in the whole world . He is playing with blood of innocent young generation .

    Learn a lesson from DMHIT .

    Right time to act !!!!
