Ezana Hagos,

It has been proven time and again the filthy woyane is no MATCH for Eritrea.
It is a fact. For the last 21 months little Eritrea has hold its ground and
the gutter of our time is still whining day in day out. EDF not only
assures but delivers.

Eritrea, may have lost one battle, but has WON the war. It has foiled
woyane's strategy successfully and it has a lot to show for it. To mention
one is the Tserona carnage Afabet of the 90s. Badma was no easy DANCE
either. Don't believe Eritrea's account of the war but there are woyane POW
to tell the story latter. It won't be long stay tuned.

You wrote, "…occupied areas previously under the control of Ethiopia. Badme,
Alitena, Zalambessa, Burie, Erob and many others". Why do I feel I am
reading a piece by a woyane stooge?

Just a quick correction though, Erob is not an AREA BUT A NAME FOR A
CHRISTIAN ETHNIC MINORITY that speaks the Saho language. These ethnic
minority are found in both side of the border that is divided by the MUNA
RIVER in south central Eritrea in the Alitena area.

You wrote, "…Eritrea took over where defended by a handful of Ethiopian
militia men." There is a saying in Tigrigna "kemesh Aday Ankifuni" loosely
translated into English as " had it not been for my mother's dress I would
not have fallen"

When are you going to admit that you were kicked out of Alitena and your
attempt to take it back has failed miserable. You have to stop this Kemesh
Aday Ankifuni nonsense. It is funny you people use the same excuse for
Badma. Is there any place where you have fought STANDING if ever until you
came up with the "smart" idea of using human wave or the God forsaken Fengi
Regaches. Hagos, cut the crap will you.

You wrote, " February of last year the Eritrean military suffered it biggest
defeat ever. The Badme debacle cost Eritrea not only thousands of precious
lives but it completely
deflated the Eritrean pride. The Badme defeat and its consequences have not
yet been felt by most Eritreans."

Forget the Eritean cost, do you know what Badma costed you? You paid one
spineless solider for every two meters you have advanced the rest I will
leave for you to figure it out.

Shift of power you say. What shift of power are you talking about? What has
changed since February? Care to tell us? Who has been whining day in day
out about using power and all that crap. Eritrea? What a joke. You people
like to believe your own jokes don't you.

Your wrote, "Even the much heralded Tsorona massacre must not be ignored.
The reality is that Ethiopia went on the offensive against Eritrean
positions. Tsorona is no doubt Eritrean territory."

In your vain attempt to glorify woyane, you have unwittingly admited
woyane's AGGRESSION AGAINST ERITREA AND THAT IT had invade Eritrean
territory. You have acknowledged the fact, no woyane has admited so far,
that on March 14 - 16 woyane went on the offensive.

Just a quick correction again. Tserona is a town that is 15 kilometers from
the front lines. Do you know an area called GERAHO SERNAY? I will let you
figure out the rest. Most of the carnage has taken place within the 3
kilometers of no mans land between the two sides. True Egri Mekel is inside
Eritrea but since woyane is the aggressor /invader there is no question the
battle was fought inside Eritrean land.

The fact remains by March 16 at 9 a.m, out of the estimated 50,000, there
was no trace of a breathing woyane solider at Egri Mekel. I am sure you have
seen the reports of independent news media. If it gives you comfort to think
that Eritrea must have been losing the war for thousands of woyane soldiers
to perish inside Eritrea by merciless Eritrean mortars so be it.

Did you know Hagos is a popular name for Dogs in rural Eritrea.
