A soldier of the TPLF regime who arrived in Eritrea along with eight others fleeing the war during Somalia's invasion has exposed the direct involvement of the US mechanized force on top of providing information and advice to the invaders.
He stated that the mechanized force had stayed for 9 months in Somalia since April 2006. Besides, the invading Ethiopian forces came across a garrison of US Army officers in the border area named Gojiland, the soldier added. He further pointed out that US soldiers took direct participation in the tank and heavy armaments units at the time the invasion was launched.
Moreover, the Ethiopian soldier also revealed that clandestine meetings were held in which directives were passed by one of the TPLF regime's senior officers, Gen. Syoum Hagos, to kill Somali soldiers resembling Eritreans in a bid to justify the regime's false accusation alleging Eritrean involvement in the Somali war and present this concocted information to the Americans posted in Somalia.
The defecting Ethiopian soldiers are Shiferaw Mekonnen Kassa; Tewfik Mucha Omar, Mogos Demise Woldetsadik and Awel Yemamu Yassin, all three from the Oromo ethnic group; Geteye Wubetu Setaregie from the Amhara ethnic group; Berhane Negash, Girmai Desta Haile and Teshale Atsebeha Berhe, as well as Zeresenay Gebreselasie Gebrehiwet, all four from the Tigray ethnic group.
