Sabti 22, March 2025 {HMC} Wasiirka Arrimaha Dibadda ee Eritrea, Cismaan Saalax, ayaa sheegay in dalkiisu uu “la yaaban yahay” waxa uu ku tilmaamay “hammiyo qaldan oo duugoobay” oo Itoobiya ku dooneyso inay ku hesho marin badeed iyo saldhig ciidan, iyadoo adeegsaneysa “diblomaasiyad ama xoog militari.”
Waxa uu ugu baaqay beesha caalamka inay cadaadis saarto Itoobiya si ay u ixtiraamto “madax-bannaanida iyo midnimada dhuleed ee dalalka deriska ah.”
Cismaan ayaa hadalkan ka jeediyay kulan warbixin ah oo uu ku qabtay xarunta Wasaaradda Arrimaha Dibadda ee Asmara, isagoo la hadlayay safiirrada joogtada ah, xubnaha korps-ka diblomaasiyadda, iyo madaxda hay’adaha Qaramada Midoobay.
Warbixintaasi, oo uu bartiisa X ku baahiyay Wasiirka Warfaafinta Eritrea, Yamane Gebremeskel, ayaa diiradda saartay waxa Eritrea ku sheegtay “eedeymo been ah” oo la xiriira diyaar garowga dagaal ee lagu tuhunsan yahay, mowqifkeeda ku aaddan Heshiiskii Pretoria, iyo dadaalka Itoobiya ee ku wajahan marin badeed.
Cismaan ayaa sheegay in Ciidammada Difaaca Eritrea (EDF) ay “dib ugu laabteen xuduudaha caalamiga ah ee Eritrea” kadib dhammaadkii dagaalkii laba sano socday ee Tigray bishii November 2022. Wuxuu intaas ku daray in “cid kasta oo sheegta ama soo jeedisa wax ka duwan arrintaas ay si ula kac ah Eritrea ugu eedeynayso dhibaatooyinka gudaha ee Itoobiya.”
Wuxuu eedeymahaasi u jeediyay “xubno hore oo ka tirsanaa TPLF” kuwaasoo uu ku eedeeyay inay “diideen xukunkii Guddoomiyihii Xuduudda Eritrea iyo Itoobiya (EEBC)” isla markaana ay ku guuldareysteen isku dayo ay ku doonayeen inay xukunka ka tuuraan dowladda Eritrea.
Isagoo ka hadlayay Heshiiskii Pretoria, Cismaan wuxuu sheegay in Eritrea ay u aragto heshiiskaas inuu yahay “arrin gudaha Itoobiya u gaar ah” isla markaana aysan “wax dan ah ku qabin inay ku lug yeelato.”
Wuxuu si cad u sheegay in la tuhunsanaanta in Eritrea ay ku lug leedahay khilaafka u dhexeeya Maamulka Ku-meelgaarka Tigray iyo TPLF ay tahay “mid gabi ahaanba la diidayo.”
Hadallada Cismaan ayaa imaanaya xilli xiisad cusub ay ka dhex taagan tahay labada dal, kaddib markii Madaxweynihii hore ee Itoobiya, Mulatu Teshome, uu ku eedeeyay Eritrea inay isku dayeyso “inay ka faa’iideysato kala qaybsanaanta TPLF” si loo wiiqo Heshiiskii Pretoria, isagoo uga digay in arrintaasi ay keeni karto “dagaal kale oo ka qarxa waqooyiga Itoobiya” isla markaana ay “baabi’iso gebi ahaan heshiiska nabadeed.”
Eritrea ayaa si adag u beenisay eedeyntaas, iyadoo Wasiirka Warfaafinta Yamane Gebremeskel uu ku tilmaamay “hadal geesinimo leh oo loogu dan leeyahay in lagu sharciyeeyo ajande dagaal hurin ah.”
Toddobaadkii hore, Madaxweynaha Maamulka Ku-meelgaarka Tigray, Getachew Reda, ayaa ku eedeeyay Eritrea inay kamid tahay dhinacyada “rumeysan inay ka faa’iideysan karaan qalalaase laga abuuro Tigray,” isagoo yiri: “Waan hubaa in dowladda Eritrea ay kamid tahay.”
Taliye ku-xigeenka Maamulka Tigray, Lt. Gen. Tsadkan Gebretensae, ayaa isna sheegay in dagaal u dhexeeya Itoobiya iyo Eritrea uu “u muuqdo mid aan laga fursan karin,” isagoo ka digay in Tigray ay noqon karto goobta ugu weyn ee dagaalka.
Senator James Risch, oo ah Guddoomiyaha Guddiga Arrimaha Dibadda ee Aqalka Wakiillada Mareykanka, ayaa isna muujiyay walaac, isagoo sheegay in dagaal cusub oo ka dhaca waqooyiga Itoobiya uu yeelan karo “cawaaqib xumo aad u weyn.” Waxa uu ugu baaqay labada dal — Itoobiya iyo Eritrea — inay “si degdeg ah u dejiyaan xiisadda.”
Marka laga hadlayo dadaallada Itoobiya ee ku wajahan marin badeed, Cismaan wuxuu sheegay in Eritrea ay si weyn uga yaabban tahay waxa ay u aragto “hammiyo qaldan oo duugoobay” oo lagu doonayo helitaanka marin badeed “iyadoo loo marayo diblomaasiyad ama xoog ciidan.”
Waxa uu ugu baaqay beesha caalamka inay arrintan si dhab ah uga falceliso, isagoo sheegay in qorshayaashaas ay si cad u khilafsan yihiin “madaxbannaanida iyo midnimada dhuleed ee waddamada deriska ah.
