Addis Ababa, 23 December 2014 (WIC) - Ethiopia yesterday accused Eritrea of hijacking an Ethiopian helicopter.
The Ethiopian Defense Ministry said in a statement that an Ethiopian helicopter – that has disappeared since Friday – was forced to land in neighboring Eritrea.
It said the helicopter was on a training mission when the Ethiopian pilot forced a trainee and a technician on board to head to Eritrea.
“The agents of the Eritrean regime had carried out the helicopter hijacking,” the Ethiopian Defense Ministry added in the statement.
It denounced what it called the “enemies of peace and democracy”, probably in reference to the ruling regime in Eritrea.
It said “anti-peace” groups would not be able to impede development, peace and democracy in Ethiopia. (Anadolu
