opposition cyber media, ESAT claimed that four Ethiopian Air Force pilots have defected and joined the Eritrean-backed opposition group, Ginbot 7.
According to ESAT, the names of the pilots are: Aklilu Mezene, Tilahun Tufa, Getu Worku and Biniyam Gizaw. However reliable sources told Awramba times that some pilots were fired due to professional incompetence and bad behavior last year and it is unknown whether these “defected pilots” are previously included in this list. Government authorities have not yet given any official explanation on the matter.
Ethiopia is the second strongest military power in Africa next to Egypt; according to the global firepower’s 2013 unique analytical display of world military data.
Listen to ESAT’s report.
