Reporting on the strength of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) which heads the Provisional Government of Eritrea, Agence France Presse states that:
[a] former Muslim movement, the Eritrean Liberation Front, the first to rise up against Haile Selassie before being crushed in turn by the EPLF, seems to have slipped into permanent oblivion (28 Apr. 1992, 2).
According to The Indian Ocean Newsletter, the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF) which was defeated in the 1970s by the EPLF, has "resurfaced" (18 Jan. 1992, 4). The source adds that:
[f]our of the old factions of this movement, traditionally supported by the Muslim peoples of Eritrean, have formed the ELF-United Organization, directed by Omar Mohamed al Bourj. This group backed by Saudi Arabia, advocates cooperation with the EPLF in power in Eritrea. But it is opposed to the ELF-Reform Movement led by Mohamed Sayeed Birathou, that has decided to distance itself from the Eritrean leaders (Ibid.).
The Indian Ocean Newsletter also reports a statement of the ELF-United Organization according to which, "with assistance from Sudan," the forces of the Provisional Government of Eritera "attacked its military base in Gash Valley, in south west Eritera" (1 Feb. 1992, 5).
Additional information on the above subject is currently unavailable to the IRBDC.
