Military communiqué
No.02
The commando platoon of DMLEK has attacked an intelligent platoon
of the PFDJ regime situated on Dembe Shebek (inside Kunama region-Gash-Barka
Zone) and destroyed the station. The attack was made on 07-07-2006
at 11:25 pm. The inflicted and victimized platoon belongs to the 21st
regiment, 3rd barged. The furious battle was made for thirty minutes
complimented with heavy and small scale artilleries like RPJ, hand
grenades, automatic machine guns and anti aircraft (locally known
as a doshka). The gallant fighters have totally destroyed and controlled
the camp for more than an hour and left the site as it was ordered
to. As a result of the sudden attack, 16 and 25 were found dead and
wounded respectively. Intoxicated with the attacks made, the regime
has sent a truck to pick the wounded ones. The attack is of dual purpose:
one to show the regime as to how mush hatred is developed in line
to the merciless and retaliatory measures the regime is taking upon
the Kunama ethnic minority and the Eritrean people at large. Secondly,
a warning and lesson to the opposition camp whether they are opting
the armed struggle as a prior means to oust the Isaias regime or not.
Regardless of where and when to take place, the sporadic attacks will
be continued. No negotiation and never kneel-down to the atrocities
being implemented by the regime.
The Principles of DMLEK shall flourish forever!!
