Ethiopian POWs under EPLF during the Eritrean armed struggle for independence

Ethiopian POWs under EPLF during the Eritrean armed struggle for independence: "EPLF pursued scrupulous Rules of Engagement in the war that it was locked in with Ethiopian occupation forces. The EPLF captured tens of thousands of Ethiopian prisoners in the massive battles that raged during the long decades of war. In all these instances, POWs were treated humanely, irrespective of their rank and other particulars. POWs had access to education, healthcare, and sport. In fact, during the height of famines and droughts of biblical proportions that unfolded in the 1980s, the EPLF provided POWs with greater rations of food - nearly double the calories - than its own fighters. In the words of one international journalist who visited the field, the EPLF's treatment of POWs was "exemplary". Although the EPLF was not a formal signatory of the Geneva Conventions on humanitarian rules of war, it adhered strictly - out of its own conviction and principle rather than due to contractual obligations - to all the provisions of the Convention. In the final battles for the liberation of Asmara and other cities and towns, the EPLF captured more than 90,000 Ethiopian soldiers including high-ranking Generals. They were all treated humanely and bussed to their country in safety and dignity." https://allafrica.com/stories/2021041.... #Ethiopia #Eritrea #Addis Ababa #Asmara #NoMore #POWs #EPLF #Derg
