MARCH 6. 1975 IN ERITREA SMOLDERS Guerrillas Threaten To Split Ethiopia with its rich, Ethiopia, diverse, and d war-scarre- with the port cities ot and Assab. history, is in danger of splitting apart. Rebellion that has smoldered and flared in its vital northern province of Eritrea for nearly 13 years again has erupted into serious fighting. Incipient revolts are reported in two more of the countrys 14 provinces, the National Geographic Society says. A Liberation Tigrean Front has been formed in Tigre, the province adjoining Eritrea. Near the city of Harar, in the south, an Oromo Liberation In ancient times, the area that became Eritrea was part of the Kingdom of Aksum, on the caravan routes linking the Arab lands and Greece. When the kingdom declined, the region came under Ethiopian rule around 950 A.D. LATER, Portuguese and Turks battled for possession of its sweltering seacoast. Bv Galls, Ethiopias second largest ethnic group. Oromo is the traditional name of the Gallas. ERITREA POSES the y gravest danger to the junta that deposed porer Haile Selassie last September. Primarily an agricultural and pastoral region, it is poor in natural mili-tar- resources. Bur Ethiopias rulers regard the province as vital because it includes the country's outlet to the sea some 600 miles of Red Sea coast, When extra rest doesn't help overcome fatigue, look to your emotions for answers, suggests the Idaho Medical Association. Hurrying does not connote pep, but actually reduces available energy. Take time to look where you are going. If your job is sedentary, that tired feeling may be due to a lack of exercise. Walk often or take up golf, swimming, skiing, or bowling. Check your working conditions for excessive heat, cold, noise, bad lighting or SOFA & LOVE SEAT Worth owr S600.00 Tuiedo Coot per ary design, fioald Floral Meet.

Egyptian invaders briefly controlled the region, then were ousted in turn by Italian troops. Italy formally annexed the region in 1890 as the colony of Eritrea, naming it after the Mare Erythraeum of the Romans. In 1935 Italy launched its conquest of Ethiopia from Eritrea. British and Ethiopian forces defeated occupying Italian units early in World War II, and the province became a British protectorate. IN 1952 the United Nations placed Eritiea under Ethiopian rule as a federated province with local But Haile Selassie steadily extended Ethiopian control over provincial affairs until in 1962 Eritreas parliament voted for full union with Ethiopia. Look At Your Emotions Move- among the ment simmers Mas-saw- a ONLY WHOOPING CRANE ventilation. Take time for a breather when you find yourself becoming irritable the first sign of fatigue. A break in routine can help. A pleasant evening out. a new hat, or something as simple as a new route to work can boost your outlook. Poor vision can cause fatigue, and so can a reducing plan that is too rigorous. If you feel tired week after week, look for a physical reason. See your physician for a checkup. Aerial surveys of the whooping cranes nesting grounds in Canada showed that 15 chicks hatched last summer. But only two immature birds were seen among the 49 whoopers counted in early December at Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in Texas. That is an increase of one bird over last winter's census, but still far below the record 59 reported from Aransas in 1971. Biologists, meanwhile, are puzzled over the poor survival rate of nestlings. . Eritrean leaders charged the vote was a fraud, went into exile, and founded the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF). The rebels at first were dismissed as shiftac, or bandits, but their numbers grew. Financed by Arab governments, the predominantly Moslem ELF is armed with the latest Czech and Soviet automatic weapons. The ELF and its rival Eritrean People's Forces claim to have 25,000 men under arms. Observers think the total is slightly more than 6,000. HOWEVER, ERITREA has been described as "45,000 square miles of Grand Canyon and is ideal terrain for guerrilla warfare. The rebels now control almost all of the countryside and have battled government forces in the capital city of Asmara. While the socialist-orienteEritrean People's Forces appear willing to negotiate a Erireturn to local self-rultrean Liberation Front leaders say they will settle only for complete independence. Government spokesmen insist Ethiopia cannot give up its seaports. uanBffisatMffiB msm, RED SE A PORT of Massawa is one of the reasons Ethiopia fights to hold Eritrea, despite local rebels who demand the provinces independence.
