Eritrean armies that are captured in the war with Tigray

Because the regime has been exploiting Eritrea’s young as a fuel for unjustifiable wars against neighboring countries, the Eritrea Democratic Homelandparty and other Eritrean opposition groups have been condemning and denouncing the obligatory recruitment programs for Eritrean youth for many years. To name a few, the Isaias Afwerki regime has waged war on Yemen, as well as Sudan, Djibouti, and Ethiopia, despite intervening in the affairs of other nations. Its first option has always been and continues to be war, despite the fact that it has never been employed as a method of diplomacy or discussion, and it is unconcerned about the human and material losses that the people and the country have suffered.

The international community has been watching the Eritrean regime’s conduct in the current Ethiopian conflict, particularly its open involvement with one party while ignoring the Eritrean army’s lose, which led to thousands of Eritrean troops injured, captured, and died as the fight came to a tragic finish. The dictatorship is presently preparing for a new round of war, and as a result, extensive recruiting operations are being carried out across Eritrea, with no young people under the age of 18 being excluded.

The Eritrean people are anxious and perplexed these days because they have yet to learn what happened to their youngsters who were taken to war by the Eritrean dictatorship. Soldiers stationed at the border and in barracks had no idea what happened to their comrades. When an army commander inquired of “Abraha Kasa,” the regime’s head of national security service, at a recent meeting of military leaders (commanders) in Eritrea’s western region in the city of “Um Hajar” earlier this month about the fate of his colleagues who were pushed into Ethiopia’s war by the regime. That question profoundly angered and Abraha Kasa, prompting him to criticize the commander and leave and ended the meeting without any result.

The largest controversy, however, is the Tigray Liberation Front’s decision to hand over thousands of Eritrean captured soldiers to the UN. The Eritrean administration hurried to Sudan, pleading with them to negotiate the extradition of these captives before they handed over to the United Nations – so it doesn’t become a public opinion issue, in exchange for assisting the Sudanese government in resolving the issue of the Eastern Sudan as a trade-off, but Sudan apologized and declined.

We urge the Tigray Liberation Front to protect these soldiers’ lives and treat them as prisoners of war in line with international law, before handing them over to the United Nations. We also want the UN to save our captured children, and we ask Sudan to maintain its stance of refusing to interfere in this issue. Because sending these young people back to Eritrea under this dictatorship is tantamount to sending them to a new holocaust.
