Eritrea, Ethiopian Prisoners Of War in mid 1980s

The Ethiopian army harassed Eritrean civilians, massacred, tortured, burned by the thousands and thousands. Many more were made homeless and countryless. Yet EPLF treated them humanely as the film shows.
Were the imprisoned and disappeared Eritreans since 10 years worse enemies than the POWs?

[@shabaymender9126]

This documentary film has only a message , that to show some positive sides of the real history !!!! And Our today"s generations ( both Eritreans and Ethiopian s) should learn from our previous mistakes . No more war, no more death , God bless our people 🇪🇷🇪🇹 .

[@drarleytidenden4172]

I hope they all returned to their homes safe. They have mothers, fathers, wives, children, sisters and brothers like all of us. They were forced to go to war. I thanks the EPLF for the humanitarian handling these Ethiopea prisoners of war. I am crying in my heart when I see them, because they were living here in uncertainty of their future. I hope God the almighty helped them return to their homes 😢😢😢

[@Rimna]

they are all free now but one stupid pilot he come back again they take him down twice with his mig 23 . and Ethiopian are asking Eritrean gov to let him free for sure he is dead .ones they give him his freedom and he come back to kill them . funny .people

[@lulaseyum2461]

They all did.

[@boganix]

They all went back. In fact, they interviewed one of the ex-prisoners 30 years later and he testified to how well they were treated. It wasn't a publicity stunt.
