Eitrean Islamist Movements – the Foundation
Mar 30
2009
The NIF supported nearly a dozen Eritrean Islamist and other opposition forces beginning in the 1990’s including the Eitrean Islamist Jihad Movement , Eitrean Liberation Front. Eitrea Kunma Movement and the Red Sea Democratic Movement. In retaliation , Asmara severed diplomatic relations with Khartoum permitted the Sudanese opposition, the National Democratic Alliance to open an office in the former Sudanese embassy in Asmara. Al Qaeda also sought to establish links with other African Islamist parties and armed groups especially in 1992- 96. The plight of the Moslems of the Ogaden, an area situates South East of Ethiopia , with Kenya to the South, Somalia to the East, and Djibouti to the North , came to the direct attention of Osama , shortly after he established himself in Khartoum in December 1991. It is an exclusively Moslem area with a long established history of both hostility and conflicts with "outsiders". It is an area where both Arabic and Somali languages are spoken. Because and as a result that is a "lawless" region beyond the reach of government and governmental agencies Osama was more than quick to establish a vital presence there.
