As many as 100 fighters are said have been captured during the operation.
Mustafa Mohammed, president of the Somali region of Ethiopia, on Friday Twitted :
“With >800 killed and ~100 captured, AlShabab’s misadventure into 🇪🇹 ended with a rout of the terrorists. The task of ensuring it never dares to get close to the border is underway.”
Earlier in the week, Ethiopia said it has killed top Al-Shabab leader , Fu’ad Mohamed (also known as Sanqole).
For the first time in the history of Al-Shabab, the group managed to enter Ethiopia to execute terrorist attack. Other sources reported earlier that it entered the country up to 150 kilometers.
The plan was, as Ethiopian government authorities claim, to cross to the Oromo region of Ethiopia to coordinate with the militant wing of radical ethnic Oromo nationalist group which the Ethiopian government call as “shane” – a group that is responsible for the massacre of thousands of ethnic Amhara civilians in the Wollega region.
The latest Al-Shabab attempt against Ethiopia is being portrayed as, by Ethiopian Authorities, a mission organized by the enemies of Ethiopia after failures in Western Ethiopia.
From domestic forces, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a designated terrorist group that seems to continue to getting diplomatic and political support from western powers is linked to the latest attack in South Eastern part of Ethiopia.
For the Ethiopian authorities, the Somali based terrorist group Al-Shabab miscalculated that Ethiopia was weakened.
