JUBA — Ethiopia’s Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has claimed that it has killed — inside Tigray region — a senior Eritrean army general and hundreds of his soldiers after launching a failed offensive that the rebel group claims to have been influenced by the federal government in Addis Ababa.

Getachew K. Reda, the TPLF spokesman, said the alleged offensive was carried out by two Eritrean army divisions on the 24th of May and was defeated after a successful counteroffensive by Tigray rebels claiming a brigade commander and hundreds of soldiers were killed in the offensive.

“An offensive launched by Eritrea’s 57th and 21st divisions on the 24th of May was thwarted and the units deployed by the Isaias regime decimated after a successful counteroffensive by our forces around AdiAwalla, Tigray,” Getachew said.

“A brigade commander, three battalion commanders and more than 300 soldiers were killed and wounded. Many weapons and materiel was also captured,” the top rebel mouthpiece added on Twitter.

The rebel spokesman said the Eritrean troops have been shelling several positions belonging to the Ethiopian rebel group inside Tigray region as “part of their desperate attempt to escalate the tension and drag us into more action.”

While vowing not to allow the government in Addis Ababa not to “prolong” the suffering of the Ethiopian people, Getachew urged the international community to rein and put pressure on the government to stop attempts to drag the region into a conflict.

“It is clear that the regime will stop at nothing to drag the region into an interminable conflict and sabotage in real or perceived effort at peace,” he said.

“It behooves the International community to exert pressure on the regime to reverse course while reiterating our unwillingness to let the regime prolong the suffering of our people,” he added.

    *Top Eritrean general, hundreds of troops killed by Ethiopian rebels after failed offensive — spokesman* where
    what part yaa Sudans post? They are nothing to do with Ethiopia. Tell these pieces sewers anything and they will go and claim it as their theirs. The vermins/parasites/viruses/pests are not going to survive our bombings, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM. These pieces of vermins/parasites/viruses/pests are always ‘juxtaposes or sides by sides with our country and our people, by the devil worshipers, bloodsucking vampires, secret coteries and cabals and with our cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, Abeshas (so-called ethiopian) prostitutes. And Bantuses, Nigerians the low lives always go to Italy, their former colonial master; and go and lie through their evil teeth that they are South Sudanese running away from violent and need protections and Somalians*

    We have investigated the low lives and caught them.

    Let any South Sudanese piece of shit, ever ever again dare try to bring anything that is connected *to our cloned so-called arabs of North Sudan, Abeshas (so-called ethiopian) prostitutes, Bantuses, white Americans, English people, their evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs, their gulf Arab states’ terrorists & financiers, Dutch (so-called Afrikaans), Portuguese, Italians, Irish, Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, Rwandans, Nigerians, gays, lesbians or LGBTQs, into our country and over our people on the pretext of the rebuilding South Sudan like in 2005 or guise of the so-called AFRICAN UNITY and REGIONAL INTEGRATION, UN AGENDA 21, now shifted to UN AGENDA 30, NEW WORLD ORDER, GOVERNMENT WITHOUT BORDERS, HUMANITARIAN AID, HUMAN RIGHTS, GOVERNMENT OF NGOs, DONATIONS (from faceless donors and devil worshipers of House of Saud, the house Rothschilds, the house of Windsors, their, the house of Kissingers), Roman Catholic (Society of Jesuits)?! Muslim brotherhood? Tearfund? Marc Nikol foundation? The UN, NGOs and United nations mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and that South Sudanese will be killed, with these vermins/parasites/viruses/pests—-reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM

    There are some pieces of cockroaches which just like to attach themselves to our other people like leeches or ticks countries. Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Democratic republic of Congo (DRC) or former Zaire, just next door South Sudan. The Nile is control by the owners, the Muonyjiengs/Jaangs/Jiengs/Jenges/Jongkoths/Dinkas of the Sudan and Egypt. We are the masters of long shot warfares, IGAD countries? About them?

    I am one of the boys who is again going to help bomb Eastern Jerusalem and give it to Palestinian people, Islam is not a religion, has been a religion and will never ever be a religion. But human beings have to believe in something. The evil juus (so-called israelis) attack dogs are *not going to reach Poland or New York*. There will be second *Auschwitz and Holocaust*. We have plainly told them, to look for ‘Manhattan project 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0’.

    Abac/naught/nil/nought/nothing/ziltch/zero, reasons, pure HATRED and RACISM.>>>>>
