About the Book The Ethiopian Consulate in Kassala and the Embassy in Khartoum: Intelligence Tools in the Pursuit of the Eritrean Revolution By: Gamal E.O. Elhag-Idris In the hidden corridors of history—where shadows speak louder than rifles—this book unveils, for the first time with verified precision, how the Ethiopian consulate in Kassala and the Ethiopian embassy in Khartoum transformed into covert intelligence outposts, hunting down Eritrean revolutionaries on Sudanese soil. It recounts one of the most insidious silent wars ever waged against a people’s longing for freedom and sovereignty. Through names, documents, and eyewitness testimonies, this deeply researched work reveals how Ethiopia repurposed its diplomatic missions into instruments of surveillance, abduction, political coercion, and even extrajudicial assassinations—sometimes in coordination with elements inside the Sudanese state—during the eras of Emperor Haile Selassie and Mengistu Haile Mariam. More than a political book—this is a national archive of the unspoken. It is a testimony for those whose pain was buried in silence, whose memories lived only in whispers, and whose lives were torn apart by the long arms of espionage disguised as diplomacy. What’s New in This Edition: This updated release features newly added appendices and analytical tables that document—by name and institution—the intricate web of coordination between Ethiopian intelligence and Sudanese authorities. It reconstructs, with forensic clarity, a chapter of Eritrean history that has long remained in the shadows. Why This Book Matters: * This is not simply a political narrative—it is a historical reckoning and a moral awakening. * It speaks for those whose lives were interrupted, whose freedoms were stripped, and whose stories were never told. * It is, above all, an act of restoration—of truth, of dignity, of memory. Who Should Read This Book? * Eritrean thinkers, leaders, and historians in search of suppressed truths. * Political analysts and researchers of African liberation movements. * Former refugees and those who lived in Kassala or Khartoum during this turbulent era. * Young Eritrean generations looking to reclaim their history and identity through critical and documented understanding. Why You Must Read It: * Because it reveals the hidden war waged on Eritrean soil—in exile. * Because it documents betrayal, courage, loss, and survival with unflinching honesty. * Because it preserves the memory of a nation that refused to be erased.
