    Eritrea has denied responsibility for a recent attack in Ethiopia that killed five tourists, instead blaming the attack on a proxy organization called ARDUF. However, this is an implausible denial and an attempt to destabilize Ethiopia, as the UN has previously identified Eritrea as using proxy forces to conduct operations while falsely claiming they are domestic opposition groups. There is no doubt that Eritrea was responsible for this attack, as the killers came from Eritrea with the intent to kill and capture tourists in order to embarrass Ethiopia as it hosts the AU summit.

    Implausible denials by Eritrea

    Reuters yesterday carried a statement quoting unnamed ARDUF leaders stating that
    their organization claimed responsibility for the January 16 th attack which claimed the
    lives of five tourists in Eastern Ethiopia close to the border with Eritrea. According to
    the statement quoted by Reuters : ARDUF [confirmed] that those German nationals
    who were taken together with the Ethiopian soldiers are safe and in good health. It
    added that their peaceful release will be granted through peaceful negotiation
    through the Afar elders in the region.

    This is a new twist to Eritreas efforts to deny responsibility for its continued efforts to
    destabilize Ethiopia and for the killing of the five tourists at Erta Ale last week. Eritrea
    claims to support a number of supposed anti-Ethiopian organizations which it has
    itself created. It uses these as scapegoats for its efforts to destabilize Ethiopia. This
    time it has picked on ARDUF as its surrogate for its latest attempt at destabilization
    and embarrassment for Ethiopia.

    Eritrea has, of course, been identified by the UN Monitoring Group as responsible for
    continued and widespread efforts at destabilization throughout the region through
    "operations using proxy forces that fall under direct Eritrean command and control
    falsely flagged as domestic opposition groups, in violation of resolution 1907." (UN
    monitoring group for Somaia & Eritrea report, July 2011, page 73). And there can be
    no doubt of its responsibility for this latest attack. The killers came directly from
    Eritrea with the intent to kill and capture, and returned to Eritrea as soon as they had
    carried out their attack. They knew exactly what they were trying to do kill and
    capture tourists in an attempt to affect the image of Ethiopia just as the country is
    about to host the annual AU Summit. Just a year ago, Eritrea made an abortive effort
    to launch a bombing campaign to disrupt the AU Summit in Addis Ababa. This time,
    Eritrea has chosen to attack and murder tourists in its effort to embarrass Ethiopia.

    Ethiopia deeply regrets that this action by Eritrea has led to the deaths of five innocent
    tourists. The Government and People of Ethiopia again offer their deepest
    condolences to the families of those who died. Ultimate responsibility for this atrocity
    rests with the government of Eritrea.
