LIBERATED AREA IN THE DESERT:
One testimonial of the cold war in the African continent through the eyes of the Japanese. In late 1970’s, 80% of Eritrea was liberated by EPLF and EFL. In 1978 Ethiopia, supported by USSR and its allies, launched a massive military assault to reoccupy. This film explores the situations and livelihood in the liberated base area, focusing on the front line, environs of Asmara, where the fierce battles raged.
