Yemeni fisherman captures Eritrean soldier
|
 [Yemen Post] Yemeni fishermen managed on Sunday to capture an Eritrean soldier after Eritrean naval boats attempted to assault some Yemeni fishermen inside international territorial waters.
| The only thing more humiliating would be if they were fishergirls. |
Security sources confirmed that Eritrean naval boats intercepted three Yemeni boats that belong to fishermen at Taklai area, located in the international territorial water between Sudan and Eritrea and attempted to force them [the fishermen] to accompany them to the Eritrea.
The soldiers started jumping in the boats, however, two boats managed to flee while an Eritrean soldiers was in and reach Yemeni territorial water.
The third boat with three fishermen on board were force to go to Eritrean shores, added the sources.
Eritrean security sources stated that it had released the boat, however, it kept the three Yemeni fishermen as hostages until the Eritrean soldier is released.
| That makes no sense, as the Eritrean navy went hunting before it lost its soldier through incompetence. What, pray tell, was their original intent? |
Yemeni security source told Yemen Post Eritrea is trying to secure captives swap to press Yemen release the soldier.
Eritrean naval forces invaded the some Yemeni islands after the civil war. But Yemen preferred to resolve the issue peacefully and referred the case to the Security Council which passed a resolution obliging Eritrea to hand over the island to Yemen.
This incident is one of a series of attacks and assaults by Eritreans who keep on targeting Yemeni fishermen, taking an advantage of the weak dysfunctional Yemeni navy.
| In other words, the darlings went in to bully some poor fishermen, and got their noses bloodied for the attempt. |
Fishermen have repeatedly called on their government to shoulder its responsibility and protect its citizens against the frequent attack by Eritrea.
| With all the pirates and such in that part of the world, not to mention the habit of Yemeni men to go about armed, the wonder is that the fisherman are not. |
