The mysterious death of Ibrahim Afa in 1985

20 years ago

20/06/2005

There are still questions to be answered about EPLF fighters who were killed in suspicious circumstances. Some of them were very well-known in the earlier 1970s and mid -1980s.: Abraham Tewolde [1], Weldenkel Haile (Wedi-Haile), [2] , Isayas Tewelde ( Wedi-Flansa), Fisehye Woldegebrel . and Ibrahim Afa . Some people believe that the circumstances of Ibrahim Afa's death are not clear( Dawit, Daniel, 2001); others believe that Isayas Afwerki killed his long-time comrade Ibrahim Afa (VKP, 2003). Ibrahim Afa’s death has become a matter of controversy (Pool, 2001). There is also some people believe that the military training centre at Sawa which is called "Medeber Tailim Ibrahim Afa" ( Ibrahim Afa Military Training Centre) is in fact a cover up for the mysterious circumstances of Ibrahim Afa’s death.

On this Martyrs’ day, it is appropriate to question the mysterious death of Ibrahim Afa which was announced in 1987 at the Second EPLF Congress. The aim of this essay is to bring together relevant information with a couple of illustrations which can help to shed light on this tragic event. In the end, the judgement about the causes of Ibrahim Afa's death will be left to the public. The author ask for all members of the former EPLF who are currently in exile to carry out similar investigations about other members of the EPLF who were killed in suspicious circumstances during the liberation struggle. This will add to our knowledge of our history.

Background

In 1967 Ibrahim Afa joined the revolution from Massaw where he was a cadet in the Ethiopian navy. During the armed struggle Ibrahim and other fighters went to Cuba in 1968 only a year after Guevara's death.

Ibrahim Afa was one of the founders of the EPLF and one of the distinguished military leaders who led the Eritrean People's Liberation Army to victory at the strategically important town of Kern in 1977 [3]. It had echoes of General Giap’s victory at Dien Bien Phu.

Ibrahim Afa's leadership in guiding and directing the operation in the battlefield is not only limited to the above mentioned but has been well document for the period between 1976-1985: the Raza project (4) , the EPLF offensive against the Ethiopian forces in 1977-1978. the strategic retreat; the defence (1978-1983) and seizure the town of Tessenei and the destruction of the big military garrison of Wuka Ez ( the northern regional army) at Northeast Coastal Plain in 1984. All these military operations were achieved through the leadership of Ibrahim Afa.

Agamet Incident

Ibrahim Afa was stationed at Arag(see map6 b ) from 1979 until his death near the Agamet mountain.

Agamet is a militarily strategic mountain in the Northeast of Sahel, after the destruction of Wuka Ez ( the Northern regional army) on the Northeast coastal plain which was under the EPLF control until the summer of 1985. Some people have claimed that Ibrahim Afa was inactive (Deskilu ) between the time EPLF fighters took the town of Barentu in Barka in the summer of 1985 and its recapture by Ethiopian forces. Baruntu was recaptured by the Ethiopian force on August 24, 1985 after additional 30, 000 Ethiopia troops were redeployed from the Ogaden to Eritrea and 13 counter-offensives were launched. At the 13th attempt the town was recaptured and the Ethiopian army cut-off the EPLF's Western territorial flank and led to the scattering of the forces. As a result of this military defeat the EPLF fighters were withdrawn from the Western front and had a long journey back to the Nacfa front through Sudan.(See map6) It was one of the worst defeats in the history of the EPLF.

re A few days before the withdrawn from the Western front, there was a ketit (mobilisation of the reserve army) to reinforce the Nakfa front and to build a temporary fortification on the Northern hills until additional forces arrived..

Some people say that a day before Ibrahim's death he was asked by Haile Duru who also resided in the same area [Masker Wina see fig 1.) as Ibrahim to go to Anberber [ the residence of the EPLF secretary general and deputy secretary ] perhaps for a Politburo Standing Committee (5) meeting. Others claim that Ibrahim was told to climb up the strategic mountain of Agamet which he did.

He went to Agamet probably after 6 pm because I met him while drinking a coffee under the shade of a tree at Enda Jemhier ( C). around 4 pm. This was . on my way from (B) Kefli Politic Menikikha to (D) Kefli Tailim military training centre where Ibrahim had his permanent camp. The distance between B and A was a 30 minute walk.

( Fig 1 ).

A= Kefli Tailim
B Masker Wena ( Wena Camp both Kefli Politica Menikikha N Bahili were located in this camp)

C= Enda Jemhier.(Local Public Administration )
D= Wina Technical school
E= Agamet Mountain

On my way back from Kefli Tailim (D) to Masker Wena (B) around 7 pm. Ibrahim was not where I had seen him before. From 7 pm throughout the night it was quiet until the early morning on the next day. I still remember that around 4 am there was unexpectedly the roar of a guns (mejemu) which lasted for 10 minutes. It was very difficult to identify where was exactly the sound came from and to respond since it happened suddenly and while we slept. Most member of this camp (Masker Wena see fig 1 B) went to Nacfa front as mentioned because there was a ketet.. The only people who remained behind in the Masker Wena (See Fig 1 ) camp were children under 5 ( Abdella Adem's daughters were among those children) with their mothers, a few disabled with other members of supporting staff. Because of this there was no attempt to give help from this camp when the guns were heard. According to reliable sources when the guns were heard at 4 am a few fighters from the Wina technical school (see fig 1 A ) which is not far from the incident climbed up Agamet to seek help but for unknown reasons were ordered to return after the head of this technical school, Tekeste Gurgia, received an order. There was intermittent gunfire until around 11 am. . Contradicting orders some member of Kifle Taelim) went to Agamet for help as they were in fortification somewhere near this area. (see fig.1 D)

Masker Wena

(Fig 2 )

Late in the afternoon we were told that the shooting was at Agamet mountain ( see fig 1 ). .It was said to have been caused by a handful of Ethiopian intelligence units infiltrating the Agamet mountain after losing their directions . However, all of them were said to have been killed by the members of the Kifle Taelim Military Training Centre. Following this . after a few days, all mothers with their children and disabled members of Masker Wena camp were evacuated to Arareb for their safety.

There is another version of the Agamet incident which was told to the front line combatants (Heletat) who heard the shooting but had no idea where it was from. They were told that a handful of Ethiopian intelligence unit forces went to Agamet mountain but all of them were killed by front line combatants ( Heletat) and they get back all materials, including the PRC radio transmitter which was seized by the enemy.

The final version of this story which was told to the rest of the EPLF and the public was that Ibrahim was killed in action. The paper which was written in Germany Eine Volksarmee besonderer Art – der Militärkomplex in Eritrea [ A people's army of a special kind: the military complex in Eritrea] by Howard Hughes described the death of Ibrahim Afa on the following words:

"…After the set up of regulatory military unions not only did commanders in lower positions repeatedly die, but also high ranked leaders of brigades and divisions, and this is how even Ibrahim Afa the head of the EPLmilitary committee died in a trap set by Ethiopias." ( Hughes, H )

The mysterious death of Ibrahim Afa was finally announced officially at the Second Congress, in 1987, alleging that he had been killed in the Bahir Negash, ( ) or the Red Sea see fig. 3 shows the place where he was killed ( Arrow A) and buried (Arrow B )

Following the announcement of Ibrahim Afa’s death in 1987 Bereket Habte Selassie wrote a poem which was dedicated to Ibrahim widow, Nura Mohamed and their daughter, Sera Ibrahim

ERITREAN IBRAHIM AFA videoP2

Information presented in this section will assist a comprehensive investigation on the circumstance of the death of Ibrahim and breaks down into the following : 1) Questions should be raised on the mysterious death of Ibrahim Afa which looks at the probability of the incident which caused his death; 2) . What people said about Ibrahim Afa and his mysterious death . 3) EPLF political developments after his death.

A Question raised by the Agament incident :Interview With Veteran Fighter Yemane T/Gergish [Pt.7 [1987 2nd congress]

1. One witness who escaped from this incident and currently is in exile told friends " before we slept a guard was assigned who had a dralety (password) ". According to military custom anyone who came to this place and failed to tell the right drarlet (password) the guard should open fire to alert his colleagues Despite this according to him the guard was killed silently and then Ibrahim and others were killed while they slept. After the witness escaped from the incident he was interrogated for a week by the members of his unit Kefli Tailim to find out whether he knew about the situation or not, but he thought that (TOURSRAWIT) the Ethiopian army had killed Ibrahim and his other comrades although he did not see any Ethiopian army force (TOURSRAWIT). They let him free

2. The other question to arise is: how could Ibrahim Afa be killed around 4 am by the handful of Ethiopia intelligence unit forces? How could the handful of Ethiopia intelligence unit forces who had not been there before identify the place exactly and kill him instantly as he went to Agamet mountain 10 hours before the incident. Additionally looking at fig 1, 2 and 3 , one would think it hard for a handful of Ethiopian intelligence unit forces to get to Agamet mountain at 4 am.

3. If it was true that a handful of Ethiopian intelligence unit forces got to Agamet mountain at 4 am, the question could be raised why members of the Wina technical school (see fig 1 A ) after climbing up Agamet for help were ordered to return when they were already half way up yet others members of Kifle Taelim) see fig.1 D) were allowed to climb up?

.

4. Why did the Ethiopian army force not claim that the Ethiopian army had killed Ibrahim Afa or celebrate his death as a great victory if Ibrahim was killed in trap set by Ethiopian army force In fact the Ethiopian media claimed that Ibrahim had been killed by his own people, the EPLF.

5. Why did the EPLF leaders keep secret the death of Ibrahim Afa for two years after his death. It was unusual for EPLF members to keep secret the death of someone popular and famous like Ibrahim.

I did not know what happened to Ibrahim until I learned of his death in 1987. Although I used to ask about him, the answer was that he was aboard. The death of other members of the Central Committee was also announced officially at the Second Congress , for example the death of Habte Tecle who "committed suicide" in 1980. However I heard in 1984 informally that he committed suicide. The last time that I had seen him was sometime in the early 1980s.

Similarly most members of EPLF heard informally about the death of the following: Weldenkel Haile (Wedi-Haile), Isias Tewelde ( Wedi-Flansa) Fisehye Woldegebrel , Mohmad Ali Kelai etc..

The question could be raised here why the EPLF leaders prefer to keep the death of Ibrahim strictly secret for two year just as they kept strictly secret the existence of the secret party (EPRP) for decades until it was revealed in 1994 at the Third EPLF Congress. David Pool has also highlighted in his book how controversial and suspicious this affair is.

B. What people said about Ibrahim Afa and his mysterious death

Abedella Adem in an interview with the Awate team on 16 May 2004 explained that Ibrahim was not satisfied with the leadership and the work assignments. Regarding this matter David Pool (2001) described the relation between Issayas and Ibrahim as a power struggle.

According to him the other explanation for their relationship includes an organisational difference over the role of the military committee. To explain this further, Ibrahim was Secretary of the Military Committee in the Politburo Standing Committee) and he had more experience of military strategy within the Politburo Standing Committee than the rest. Despite this fact, there might be some problem between Ibrahim and Issayas which was highlighted by . Howard. According to Howard, the military activities of the EPLF after 1977 were still determined by the inner circle around Issayas Afeworki.

Because of this there could have been disagreements over military strategy between Issayas Afeworki and Ibrahim Afa , and this might have been the reason for the rumour of Ibrahim Afa being inactive (deskilu).

Further evidence of the power struggle between Issays and Ibrahim was also provided from Tecle Aden. Tecle Aden in an interview given in Addis Ababa on December 23, 1980, described the EPLF Politburo as containing two cliques. The one group led by Issayas included Sebhat Efrem, Haile Woldensie and Petros Solomon and the other group, led by Ibrhim Afa, included people like Mesfin Hagos and Ali Said Abdella. (Andu, )

The other factor for Ibrahim’s dissatisfaction that Abedella mentioned in his interview might be related to the question of unity between the EPLF and the ELF..

Ibrahim had been also one of the members of the Joint Supreme Political Leadership ( JSPL) [8]. In March 1979, the fifth meeting of the JSPL charted out a common military strategy for the Eritrean revolution and decided that the Northern Sahel would be a common base area for both fronts. In the meantime ELF units had joined the EPLF's forces in Northern Sahel ( Kidane, 1996) In 1980 the ELF was defeated and ceased to have any fighting forces within Eritrea. Based on information gathered from ex-fighters, the author learned that Ibrahim had not been happy with what happened to the ELF in 1980. This could have been one of the causes for the rift between Issayas and Ibrahim .


The Central Committee in session in 1984.(Adluis 1984)

Addionally, Ibrahim Afa knew very well that Isseyas had an ambition for power and he used to call him " selfish"( Micheal (abu_selaa) on 2/10/02), or "susuE" referring to Isaias' insatiable greed for absolute power. [O.E tebreh, 2001). Micheal (abu_selaa) raised the following question : Does Afa's mysterious death have anything to do with the unity of the EPLF and ELF organizations?

The EPLF political development after Ibrahim Afa death

Between 1977 and 1987 Issayas Afeworki was deputy secretary and he made a long journey before succeding Rohomad. It was not easy for Issayas Afeworki. Two members of the Politburo Standing Committee Ibrahim and Duru, were more influential among the members of the EPLF in those days than he. Besides .. both of them were members of the preparatory committee for the Second Congress in 1985 and were also members of the preparatory committee in 1976 for the founding organisational congress.

David Pool raises the issue of the role of the military committee, of which Ibrahim was the head and which Issayas wanted to abolish in 1987. For Issayas it would have been difficult to abolish the military committee which was chaired by Ibrahim while the latter was on the preparatory committee. According to Hugh the death of Ibrahim Afa in 1985 led finally to the practical insignificance of the military committee and of the overall committee. Thereafter the role of the military committee was abolished in 1987 in favour of the General Staff under the Secretary. General

This did not work out as expected by Issays ( during the destruction of Nado Ez in 1988 and Fenekle operation early 1990s) because of Mesfin Hagos who was the leader of the Nakfa front during the liberation of Afabet and had more battle experience than Issayas and Sebhat Efrim, the head of the General Staff

The other political development which appeared after the death of Ibrahim Afa was the deterioration in the relationship between Issayas and Hail Duru. . Haile .Duru was for long a close friend of Issayas. He had been a useful tool to hand the succession to Issayas at the first organisational congress in 1977 by conducting a campaign at Cader School [9] against Menka , Bistya , Durfo Cader School led by Adhanome and , Yemien from 1975.A good example for this is the 5th Round of the Cadre Course which was run in 1976 Even though he did a good job for him he became the target of Issayas following the death of Ibrahim in 1985. Duru had worked hard, in 1986, in preparing seminar papers on the three privileges ( drinking, womanizing, and using their positions to secure material advantages).

The seminar on the above topic was given by Issayas mostly from the discussion floor in order to make a good impression on the fighters there . He had launched a similar hypocritical campaign against high ranked leaders of brigades such as Filipose and Omer Tewel. Basil Davidson also described Issayas for his simplicity in the following words:

" I found him in his " base" canyon, equipped with good communications but otherwise living the same spare life as everyone else in these mountain" (Davidson, 1988)

,Issayas Afeworki, used both seminars and his simple lifestyle as ways to further his popularity. He was elected General Secretary in 1987.

Dan Conell (2003)describes this in the following words: As part of a shake- up, Isaias took formal control of the EPLF at its Second Congress in 1987, replacing Romedan Mohamed Nur as the front's secretary general (Issayaas forced Romedan to retire from the leadership altogether in the early 1990s)

In the 1988 Issayas other target was Peteros Solom who was a young, bright and moderate among the Politburea members. He was more popular and respected by the EPLF members among the front line fighters until the dissolution of the Intelligence unit which was head by him from 1977to1994. Issayas concluded his power struggle in 2001 by accusing his former close friends of being "traitors" and, on 18th September 2001, arresting them.

To conclude , Tesfamariam Assefaw in his narration in 2000 still remembers what Issays said 36 years ago: " Struggle is honey covering Ire" (sour). (Kidane, Aida 2004)

He did not understand at that time, but one could interpret this to mean the intrigue and conspiracy that followed Issayas' application of the lessons learnt in Great Proletrain Cultral Revolution in China[15] and accomplished through 35 years . Some of his victims during those years listed by Alem Tesfay 2003

In conclusion, the author appeals to all former members of the EPLF who survived the war, especially those who were in the Central Committee between 1977-1987 (Abdella Adem, Haile Menkerios and Mesfin Hagos) and other senior post holders, to tell the public the truth about the EPLF leaderships' crimes against fighters who sacrificed themselves for the liberation of our people from colonial oppression

الظروف الغامضة لاستشهاد القائد ابراهيم عافة

Notes

[1] The death of Abrham Towelde is still secret. Alem Tesfay 2003 explained the cause which led to the death of Abrha Tweldo in the following words:

After Issays came back from the meeting he held with the members of CIA members to Ala he decided to split from the ELF. Because of this there was an argument with Abrha Twelde who was not in favour of spliting from the ELF. After one month of argument between them Abrham Tweldo die suddenly. Which is still secret for most of us. . After his death, Issayass succeeded to the leadership of the group and .the group then took steps to split from the ELF [Ammar, Woldeysus 2004 Ethiopia . . Also according to Erlich, one of Issayas' main rivals in the rebel movement was found poisoned to death in 1971. ( Eritrea in the Western Media p.97 1988): To pretend from the above accusation Issayas named his first son Abrham

[2]Weldekel Haile was educated in Syria and was the first Jebha to flee, According the account of Tesfamariam Assefaw Woldenkel, Haile did not like Issayas [ Kidana Aida 2004 ]. During the Menka movement in 1973 Woldenkel Haile who was head of the security department said that the Menka ringleaders prisoners did not commit any crime except breaking military discipline rules. He made clear his stand which was completely different from Issayas . Because of this Issayas was not happy and Woldenkel Haile was sent to the Hailitat (front line sometime in 1974 [Afewerki, Tewdros, 2003).. He was the most distinguished military leader next to Ibrhim Afa and had led the Eritrea People’s Liberation Army to victory at the strategic town of Segeneti in 1977 but was not a member of the central comittee in 1977. He was killed shortly after the victory by an unidentified gunman at Segeneti, his birth place. When this occurred there was a radio message in this code " Itia Abai Lham Ab Mereta Wediqa", meaning that the great leader rest on his land".This is also confirmed from other source መደባትና፡ ነቲ ኪንዮ ጸሊም ራዕዲ ዘሎ ደበና፡ ምቕንጣጥ ኢዩ!!! - 4ይ ክፋ in 2008: መሪሕነት ህዝባዊ ግንባር ሓርነት ኤርትራ ነቲ ኣብ ዝተፈላለየ እዋን ኣንጻር ኣተሓሳስባኡን ኣካይዳኡን ዝኸይድ ዝነበረ ኣብ ውሽጢ ሜዳ ይኹን ኣብ ወጻኢ ናይ ባዕሉ ዝኾነ ምስጢራዊ ኣሰራርሓ ብምኽታል ኢዩ ዝጭፍልቖ ነይሩ። እቲ ናይ  ሰሜን ኣሜሪካ ምንቅስቓስ ምስ ኩነታት ምዝላቕ ዝተኣሳሰር እኳ እንተዘይኮነ ናይ 79 ምንቅስቓስ ስንኩላን ይኹን ናይ 73 ብስም ምንቅስቓስ “መንካዕ” ናይ 78-79 “የሚን” ካብቶም ዝተዳህኩ ምንቅስቓሳት ኢዮም ነይሮም።

[6]. After two months Baruntu was recaptured, the Ethiopians immediately opened another offensive under the name of the Negash, or the Red Sea Offensive, on October 10, 1985 the Ethiopian armed forces launched another offensive, whose objective was the capture of Nakfa "within five days by November, the Ba-haer Negash Offensive had failed. The Ethiopian army stayed in the NE front for a few months, then withdrew from this area and concentrated on the Nakfa front.

[8] In April 1978, the JSPL and joint committees on military, economic and social affairs, information and foreign relation were set up. A year later, in March 1979, the fifth meetings of the JSPL charted out a common military strategy for the Eritrean revolution. It decided that northern Sahel would be the common base area of both fronts and announced that the integration of the EPLF and ELF armies would begin on May 15, 1979.
