Isaias Afworki: Spy or a revolutionary

Isaias Afworki: Spy or a revolutionary

We have been trying for years to reach whether Isaias Afworki 1) was recruited by the CIA to join the ELF and help to dismantle it from within (‘Operation seed planting project’ as Wedi Giorgo referred to it; 2) Whether he was recruited by Asrate Medhin Kassa (Governor of Eritrea: 1964 - Dec 1970), on the behalf of Ethiopia for the same purpose, with the implicit role of the Mossad. Asrate Kassa was born in 1922 and died in 1974. Now there is new information that strengthens the possibility that he was a spy. One thing we know for sure. Tesfamichael Giorgo brought Isaias to Asmara and took him to Kagnew Station and he was imprisoned by the Ethiopians, for it. Asrate Kassa's son, Mulugeta, has confirmed recently that his father had links with Isias and that Isaias came to visit his father in early 1972. Dawit Woldeghiorgis also gives us insight into how and when he knew Tesfamichael Giogo and the training of the Ethiopian army by Israelis. 

Another recent confirmation (June 7, 2020) that Isaias Afworki worked for Asrate Kassa, who supplied his faction with arms. Listen from 08:50 – 16:00 minutes 

Captain Tesfaye Resteye, was a former Ethiopian police officer who served as an investigator in the security services in Asmara, Assab, and Tio in 1973 during the Haile Sellasie period. He also worked as the head of the foreign intelligence of the Ethiopian Security Services (ESS) upon return from a training course in Moscow, during the Derg period. The foreign intelligence then focussed on the Middle East and the follow-up of the Eritrean liberation movement. His last position during the Derg was the Head of the Legal Department of the ESS.

During his service in Eritrea, he was sent to investigate the army atrocities after a clash with the fighters in Baraasole in Dankalia. He narrates that he tried to calm the citizens. Tesfaye clarified his first interaction with Asrate Kassa.  When he was on his way to Assab, Asrate Kassa, who was the Governor on an army communications radio called him directly and asked him, for a briefing, At the end of their conversation, Asrate Kassa asked him to write 1000 bullets were fired. Still, Tesfaye declined to document the bullet numbers. He further stated the reason they were asking was to give the shots to the enemy to compensate for their loss.

Captian Tesfaye added, “Asrate Kassa wanted to give those bullets to the faction of Isayas Afworki.” Tesfaye added that Asrate Kassa realized that there were two factions, a Muslim and a Christian one, and he recruited Isaias to weaken the ELF, which he regarded as a Muslim movement. He adds that Asrate Kassa supplied arms to the Isaias faction and introduced Isaias Afworki to the Americans at Kangnew Station. He also stated during his investigation of fighters who were caught or defected, the defected said they joined the liberation movement to get 1500 Birr and a pistol.  Tesfaye added that Asrate Kassa used to give the defected fighters those benefits. He states that Asrate Kassa was working to depose Haile Sellasie and replace him with the Crown Prince.

He also narrates how the Derg was formed. Captain Tesfaye also explains how the Derg members were selected, the killing of the 60 high-ranking officers, and how Haile Sellasie was deposed and killed by giving him anesthesia and choking him to death.

The following are the old and new facts:

إسياس ٱفورقي، جاسوس ٱو ثوري

نحن نحاول منذ سنوات للوصول إلى ما إذا كان إسياس أفوركي  تم تجنيده من قبل وكالة المخابرات المركزية للانضمام إلى جبهة التحرير الارترية والعمل على تفكيكها من الداخل ،'عملية زراعة البذوز' كما أشار إليها ودي جورجو و ما إذا كان قد تم تجنيده من قبل أسرىت  كاسا ــ حاكم إريتريا: ١٩٦٤ إلى  ديسمبر ١٩٧٠، نيابة عن إثيوبيا لنفس الغرض، مع الدور الضمني للموساد. إبن أسرتى كاسا المدعو ملوقيتا٬ والمقيم في لندن يؤكد ان والده كانت له علاقة بإسياس، بعلم الامبراطور وانه زاره في لندن ١٩٧٢ ـ  هناك معلومات الآن جديدة تعزز إمكانية أنه كان جاسوسا. شيء واحد نعرفه بالتأكيد، هو إن تيسفاميكئل جيورجو ٱحضر أسياس إلى أسمرة وٱخذه الي  قاعدت كاغنيوإستيشن الٱمريكية  و قد تم سجنه من قبل السلطات الإثيوبية، لذلك السبب. وكما ان داويت ولدقيوقيس يقدم معلومات عن دور المستشريين الأسرائليين في تدريب ليس فقط الجيش الاثيوبي، بل كيف حدث مرة ان تم إحضار مجموعات من الانيانيا الى آسمرة في سرية تامة وتم تدريبهم وإرسالهم للسودان

What PFDJ Ambassador Tweet 24 July, 2018 stating that Isaias struggled for this day since 1965, perhaps meaning to unite Eritrea and Ethiopia
