On Saturday, May 9, 2009, the Eritrean military forces shot and killed
three female Eritreans at the vicinity of Mereb Bridge. They were killed
while fleeing repression and torture in their own country. Sources
confirmed their remains were discovered West of Mereb Bridge in the
morning hours of Sunday, May 10, 2009. When they were found, wild
animals had already eaten most of their body parts, sources of Eritrean
People’s Party added. Six other females who were part of their group had
managed to cross the border into Ethiopia safely.
In other news, 20 Eritreans have recently fled their country and arrived
in Ethiopia through the border point of Rama. The new arrivals included
one priest and a mother with her five children.
Mereb Bridge and its surrounding area is one of the several
border-escaping routes between Eritrea and Ethiopia where the
dictatorial regime of Isayas has turned it into a killing field for
hundreds of Eritreans who try to flee the country. It may be recalled
that in December 2008, four Eritrean teenagers were killed by Eritrean
security forces in the same area while trying to escape into the
Ethiopian side of the border.
