Eritrea Denies Involvement in Alleged Plan to Attack Ethiopian DamMarch 2, 2017 - Eritrea has denied any involvement in an alleged plan to attack Ethiopian dam, according to report in Newsweek. The dam is set to become the biggest hydropower dam in Africa. Abrha said that Ethiopian security forces killed 13 of the rebels, while seven fled into neighboring Sudan. But the Ethiopian government spokesman said that Sudan had handed the rebels over and they were now in Ethiopian custody. Eritrea only seceded from Ethiopia in 1991 after a 30-year independence war, and the two countries have regularly clashed on the boundaries of their borders.
