Eritreans,Eritreans, Eritreans. You bixxches were not even defeated by regular Army but by a militia with no formal training of a soldier. No wonder, your qentir are whining and moaning that it was Eritreans who defeated you. The men of the hour are amhara who redeemed themselves and send the Leeches to The Mountains and make them fugitive..

Speaking of looting, ሰርቂ ከም ኢዱ፣ ሓሳዊ ከም ኣፉ ድዩ ዝብሃል.. It was civilian Tigrians who were brought to western Eritrea to loot and steal....Barentu, Tesseney and other small cities were all looted and mines were planted in an effort to make life miserable for the civilian population.SenaAfe!
In the larger town of Senafe to the north, Ethiopian forces had blown up government buildings, the telecommunications centre, the hospital, and a hotel that was favoured by the Eritrean army and journalists for its cold beer and roasted goat.
A few like Nigisti Berhe and her six children could not make it, so she returned to her village.
"The women would keep together so we wouldn't get raped, we had heard there was rape, so we were scared. We had no food, so we sent our children to beg food from the Ethiopian army."
However, looting by the Ethiopian army was a problem throughout the area.
Villagers complained at the loss of their possessions, roofs, doors, cooking utensils but most importantly livestock. Oxen are critical for ploughing in advance of the rainy season that is expected in the next two months
Tesseney
The western Eritrean town of Tesseney has changed hands four times in the last month. The town is now under Eritrean control following an Ethiopian withdrawal on Monday.
However, the second period of Ethiopian occupation has left an indelible mark on the once thriving city whose population of 60,000 fled.
The hospital has been completely stripped. Medicine, equipment, even beds, have been taken. The church's kindergarten has also been looted.
The school has been burnt, along with the two banks, the petrol station, a grain store and the local administration building.
Even the prayer mats have been taken from the mosque.
Widespread destruction
The destruction was widespread, yet locals said there had been no fighting in the town.
An estimated 90% of Tesseney has been looted, around 50% was burnt or destroyed.
Every conceivable kind of business has been broken into and the contents taken. What was left was set on fire.
Private homes stand with the doors ajar; inside the remaining contents are strewn around. Dead livestock lie rotting in the sun.
Around 50 Eritrean civilians remained during the occupation. They said they were not harmed as long as they did not interfere.
Civilians join in looting
They said that within a day of the Ethiopians taking Tesseney, empty trucks with some Ethiopian civilians were brought into the town to help with the looting.
Tables and chairs have been left piled outside many buildings - the Ethiopians were unable to fit them into the trucks.
The legacy of what happened in Tesseney is difficult for many to accept.
We can never forgive them said Mohammed Sulieman, in front of the charred remains of his shop.
Stretching south from Tesseney, the trail of destruction continues.
The village of Aligidir, formerly home to 3,000 people, was one such victim.
Warped metal sheets creak in the morning breeze, strewn around on the blackened earth among half-burnt wooden posts and the charred remains of pots and pans.
Situated 10km south of Tesseney, Aligidir, was once a thriving centre for agricultural production and cotton growing.
Singled out
The handful of people who stayed in the village during the Ethiopian occupation told a story which is becoming familiar in this part of western Eritrea.
They said that on Sunday, Ethiopian troops started looting the houses, then they set them on fire.
The villagers said the Ethiopian army sought out houses of families who had members in the Eritrean army for special attention.
Not much of the village is left standing.
Last time the Ethiopian army was in Aligidir three weeks ago, the houses were not touched.
Instead, the new $40m cotton factory, the centre of the village's employment, was destroyed, as were the government buildings.
This time, the destruction was more thorough.
Half a dozen buses arrived in Aligidir and Tesseney early on Wednesday morning, with the new arrivals from Sudan assessing what was left of their homes and businesses.
It is difficult to assess the long-term cost of what happened here.
Barentu
The town had suffered some damage during the Ethiopian occupation with most shops looted and the town's sparkling new hotel totally destroyed.
Most shops in the town have been looted.
A correspondent said only the cast-iron sewing-machines remained, too heavy to lift.
Only a few civilians are returning - to check if their homes are intact and their possessions are still there.
However, the danger of landmines remains. The army said two-thirds of the town had been cleared and a pile of defused mines lay in the town square.
Just because whining and moaning is not our nature and because we look at the future instead of the past, it doesn't mean we suffers from Amnesia. If you think Eritreans are you worst enemy, so be it,ኣይነበረና ኣይጠፍኣና
