Ethiopia Denies Report That It Made More Attacks Inside Eritrea
By William Davison - Mar 17, 2012 10:35 AM ET
Ethiopia’s government denied a Reuters report that it made further attacks
inside Eritrea.
“That’s not correct,” Getachew Reda, the Foreign Ministry’s public
diplomacy and communications director, said by phone from Ethiopia’s
capital, Addis Ababa, today. “There’s been no further attacks” after a raid
two days ago inside Eritrea’s territory, he said.
Ethiopian troops today carried out more attacks on rebels in the north of
Eritrea around Badme, Reuters said, citing an unidentified Ethiopian
government official.
Three military posts where the Eritrean government trained rebels hostile
to Ethiopia were targeted on March 15, State Minister of Communications
Shimeles Kemal said.
“The information is false,” he said by phone today about the Reuters
report. “It’s an absolute lie.”
