Report on Crimes committed against the Eritrean people by the Ethiopian rulers
Lessons Never to be Forgotten
It is beyond the scope of this webpage to look at the crimes committed by those various rulers from mid-15th century to mid-20th century. In the future there will be a separate page for all atrocities committed by the Ottoman Empire , Abyssina and Italian colonial rulers.
We need the Land not the People,” declared the Ethiopian emperor at the first place
For the meanwhile the main purpose of this page is to highlight all crimes committed by the Ethiopian rulers before the annexation when the Andenate terrorists’ were operating and after annexation when the Eritrean people became victims of suppression and the massacre by the Ethiopian rulers between 1962 and 1991.
Ras Asrate Kassa used to say that he would leave Eritrea as bare as his bald head.
If we say leave, because we do not like the colour of your eyes they have to leave the country..."July 9, 1998, Prime Minster Meles Zenawi
1941-1961
1961-1974
1974-1991
Border conflict 1998-2000
The Eritrean people never wish to see again anyone who has a history of totalitarian or megalomaniac crimes (like the EDA, EPDP &PFDJ leaders) seizing power in future Democratic Eritrea or forming an interim government
Anyone with a history of crimes during the armed struggle or after the liberation should not be eligible to stand for any office post. This should apply to opposition leaders
All those committed violations of human rights should encouraged to acknowledge these as part of national reconcilation process
