Rebels kill 23 Eritrean troops
Rebels kill 23 Eritrean troops Eritrean rebels say they have killed 23 Eritrean soldiers and freed prisoners jailed in the Red Sea State's remote Afar region, Ethiopia's pro-government Walta Information Service reported yesterday. Eritrea and Ethiopia fought a 1998-2000 war that killed 70,000 people, and tensions are rising again ahead of a deadline this month for them to demarcate their disputed frontier. Both sides routinely trade accusations of encouraging instability in the region by supporting each other's rebels. The Walta news agency said fighters from a little-known group calling itself the Red Sea Afar Democratic Organisation had killed 23 Eritrean troops and wounded 15 more in a raid on Monday.
