March: Month of Military Exploits

March is a month of striking heroic feats in Eritrea’s glorious struggle for independence.

It was 23 years ago, on March 17 to 19, 1988, that the EPLF forces dealt once and for all a blowing defeat through a 72-hour military operation to a special enemy command–otherwise known as the Nadew Command–which had constituted a significant portion of the Ethiopian Derg army. Obliteration of the 100 km long well fortified frontline of colonial Ethiopia’s army at Nakfa ushered in the EPLF’s transition from years of revolutionary standoff tostrategic military offensive, thereby penetrating 70 km deep into the enemy-held territory–from Hday to Meshalit.
