'OPERATION FENKIL' The Herald of Independence. English Film Documentary.
The unthinkable achieved in 72 hours - FENKIL!
What made the operation a victory against all odds was the mismatch between the two forces. On one side, you had the largest army in Africa, which was well-equipped with all types of weapons bought at the expense of a starving people. The famine did not deter the enemy from arming its soldiers to the teeth to fight a long and bloody war. On the other side, you had Eritrean freedom fighters, few but tactical and determined. Operation Fenkil took a good 59 hours to complete. The systematic coordination of ground troops and naval and mechanised units resulted in the surrender of 20,000 Derg soldiers, the destruction of two-third of a modern and well- equipped Derg military and the liberation of Massawa and Ghindae.
