Operation Fenkil, one of the most successful military operations, heralded the end of Ethiopian colonialism in Eritrea. It was carried out through the coordinated attack of the infantry, the mechanized and the then-nascent naval forces of the Eritrean People’s Liberation Front (EPLF). The port city of Massawa was crucial for the Ethiopian second division stationed in Eritrea. It had been a life-line for the shipment of its armaments and other logistics. Understanding the importance of the port city to the survival of its war machinery, the Dergue regime spent many years building strong fortifications that surrounded Massawa.
