The Eritrean government on Thursday summoned British Charge d’affaires in Asmara, capital of Eritrea. It has something to do with the remark during a recent visit to Mekelle of the British Ambassador to Ethiopia, Darren Welch.

Eritrea is accusing the UK Ambassador to Ethiopia of supporting what it calls

TPLF’s irridentist claims

– apparently territorial claims.

Yemane Gebre Meskel, Minister for Information, unveiled it in a Twitter message.

He wrote,

British Charge d’Affaires a.i. in Asmara was summoned by DG at Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday to convey strong message to Whitehall on unwarranted remarks of z British Ambassador to Ethiopia during his recent visit to Mekelle apparently endorsing TPLF’s irredentist claims.

This week, the UK government sent a delegation to Mekelle under the leadership of the U.K.’s Special Envoy for the Red Sea & Horn of Africa, Sarah Montgomery. The delegation met with Getachew Reda, whom Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed appointed as an interim president of Tigray regional state following the “Pretoria agreement” and new political alliance after the two years devastating war.

The British Ambassador announced new funding and partnership with the “United Nations Human Rights” division to investigate rights abuse during the war between TPLF and the Ethiopian government.

The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has been accusing Eritrea of occupying territories in the Tigray region.

Like the United States, The U.K. government has been the strong champion of the TPLF during the war. It has been established that the war, which is said to have claimed about one million lives from both sides, started when the TPLF attacked the Northern Command of the Ethiopian Defense Force.

The British government has a strong relationship with the TPLF – something that may be related to the U.K. (and of the United States) geopolitical ambition in the Tigray region to position itself with a sphere of influence in the region.

The U.K. is one of the key western powers that enabled the political and military comeback of TPLF possible.

La Teleferica Massaua-Asmara
In 1969 or so I found La Teleferica Massaua-Asmara and photographed it in the Biblioteca Italiana in Asmara, Eritrea (then Ethiopia). This series of pages reproduces the pages of this slick brochure.

Three of us co-translated the text in September, 2000. Dave Engstrom did the major part of the translation. Renato Guadino followed up with several clarifications. And I joined the translation to the test here and in the process added some of my quirks resulting from working with several informal translations of the text off and on for the past 30 years.

Use the menu on the top and bottom of the four page groups to page through the brochure.



The Massawa-Asmara Cableway
Origins
ASMARA - the charming Eritrean capital, situated almost on the edge of the highlands, dominates the slope that descends first quickly and then gently to the searing beaches of the Red Sea - was qualified by its natural location to become one day one of the principal collection points for commercial traffic arriving by sea and headed for the heart of the Empire. In fact, the picturesque little city lies at an altitude little different from those of the two great routes that radiate towards the distant centers of Adua, Axum and Gondar, on the one hand, and Makale, Dessie and Addis Abeba on the other.

But for many years this natural advantage could not be exploited. It was too high above sea level (about 2400 m.) to be easily linked to heavy commercial traffic. The little, narrow-gauge railroad begun in 1911 was able to make the great leap, thanks to a series of dizzying serpentine curves up the slopes. But the problem could not be considered solved, the railway's potential being too limited in view of the ever-growing traffic.

This was the origin of the Massawa-Asmara cableway, the great engineering work of our time, that won the approval of

technicians and the admiration of the world. It has in one leap more than doubled the commercial traffic between the sea and the interior, and, in conjunction with the railroad, accounts for almost the entire traffic.
Construction of the gigantic work was awarded by His Excellency, the Chief of Government, to our Company - CERETTI & TANFANI, S.A. - which is proud of its long history of glowing successes throughout the world, and most particularly in the this competitive field of engineering in the service of industry.

The supplier of the cables was S.A. GIUSEPPE & FRATELLO REDAELLI of Milan; of the engines, S.A. FRANCO TOSI of Legnano.

Cableways and Great Distances
Population centers at markedly different altitudes and separated from one another by vast desert or forest lands see in the cableway the ideal solution to the problem of reciprocal trade links. It [a cableway] brilliantly surpasses
