ADDIS ABABA - Two Germans, two Hungarians and an Austrian were killed by gunmen in an attack on tourists in the remote Afar region of northern Ethiopia, the Ethiopian government said on Wednesday.
Government spokesman Bereket Simon said a Hungarian and an Italian were wounded while two Germans and two Ethiopians had been kidnapped in the Tuesday attack, that happened in an area prone to banditry and where separatist rebels have operated.
Afar is a barren corner in the Horn of Africa country, and one of the earth's harshest terrains. The highest average annual temperature ever recorded was in Afar's Danakil Depression at 94 degrees Fahrenheit (34.4 Celsius). Ethiopia quickly blamed its neighbour and arch-foe Eritrea for the attack, saying it had trained and armed the gunmen responsible. Ethiopia also blamed an Afar rebel movement for kidnapping five Westerners in the region in 2007.
Eritrea's envoy to the African Union, Girma Asmerom, was swift to reject the Ethiopian accusation, telling Reuters: "This is pathetic, an absolute lie." The Afar province's rock-strewn hills give way to vast deserts below sea level, and dry river-beds and acacia thorn-trees dot the landscape. Banditry is widespread in a region once described by the late British explorer Wilfred Thesiger as a "veritable land of death."
Foreigners who venture out into the area usually include researchers, aid workers and some 500 adventure tourists each year visiting geographical wonders like the Danakil Depression, with its ancient salt mines and volcanoes.
"The attack occurred at 5 a.m. on Tuesday, in which Eritrean-trained groups also kidnapped four. Two of them are foreigners, one is a driver and the other a policeman," Bereket said.
SURVIVORS RETURN TO CAPITAL
Ethiopian state television said the victims were part of a 27-member party that also included U.S., Australian and Belgian nationals. It quoted officials as saying 18 members of the group would arrive in Addis Ababa later on Wednesday afternoon. Hungary said at least one of its nationals had been killed and it would give more precise information later on Wednesday.
Austria said at least one of its citizens had been involved in the attack, adding they were working with Germans and the Ethiopian government to establish the details. "The group may have consisted of two groups of travellers consisting of nationals from a series of European countries, most likely including Austria," Foreign Ministry spokesman Peter Launsky-Tieffenthal told Reuters.
A German Foreign Ministry spokesman said Berlin was working with its embassy in Addis Ababa to clarify what had happened. A German media report said the group of tourists had been close to the Erta Ale volcano, one of Ethiopia's most active.
In 2007, gunmen seized five Europeans and eight locals in Afar. The Europeans were handed to the Eritrean authorities less than two weeks later and Britain said Asmara had helped secure their release. The eight locals were freed a few weeks later. Ethiopia and Eritrea fought a 1998-2000 border war that killed some 70,000 people, and the dispute still festers.
Addis Ababa routinely accuses Asmara of supporting Ethiopian separatist groups, while Eritrea says the accusations are lies designed to tarnish its reputation. "It has become a trend for Ethiopia to fabricate sensational news against Eritrea whenever the summit is nearing," Girma told Reuters.
The Eritrean envoy was referring to an earlier accusation that Asmara plotted to bomb targets and disrupt an African Union meeting in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa in January 2011. This year's AU summit in Addis Ababa begins next week.

was pleased about all these developments, but also mystified. There'd been no real change in Tommy's work--his reputation for "creativity" was as low as ever. I could see that an end to the tantrums was a big help, but what seemed to be the key factor was harder to put your finger on. There was something about Tommy himself--the way he carried himself, the way he looked people in the face and talked in his open, good-natured way--that was different from before, and which had in turn changed the attitudes of those around him. But what had brought all this on wasn't clear.I was black christian louboutin mystified, and decided to probe him a bit the next time we could talk in private. The chance came along before long, when I was lining up for lunch blue christian louboutin and spotted him a few places ahead in the queue.I suppose this might sound odd, but at Hailsham, the lunch queue was one of the better places to have a private talk. It was something to do with the acoustics in the Great Hall; all the hubbub and the high ceilings meant that so long as you lowered your voices, stood quite close, and made sure your neighbours were deep in their own chat, christian louboutin evening you had a fair chance of not being overheard. In any case, we weren't exactly spoilt for choice. "Quiet" places were often the worst, because there was always someone likely to be passing within earshot. And as soon as you looked like you were trying to sneak off for a secret talk, the whole place seemed to sense it within minutes, and you'd have no chance.So when men christian louboutin sneakers I saw Tommy a few places ahead of me, I waved him over--the rule being that though you couldn't jump the queue going red christian louboutin forwards it was fine to go back. He came over with a delighted smile, and we stood together for a moment without saying much--not out of awkwardness, but because we were waiting for any interest aroused by Tommy's moving back to fade. Then I said to him: You seem much happier these days, Tommy. Things seem to be going much better for you.You notice everything, don't you, Kath?" He said this completely without sarcasm. "Yeah, everything's all right. I'm getting on all right.So what's happened? Did you find God or something.Tommy was lost for a second. Then he laughed and said: "Oh, I see. You're talking about me not... getting so angry.Not just that, Tommy. You've turned things around for yourself. I've been watching. So that's why I was asking.Tommy shrugged. "I've grown up a bit, I suppose. And maybe everyone else has too. Can't keep on with the same stuff all the time. Gets boring.I christian louboutin wedding said nothing, but just kept looking right at him, until red christian louboutin he gave another little laugh and said: "Kath, chloe marcie you're so nosy. Okay, christian louboutin sandals I suppose there is something. Something that happened. black christian louboutin If you want, I'll tell you.tell you, Kath, but you mustn't spread it, all right? A couple of months back, I had this talk with Miss Lucy. And I felt much better afterwards. It's hard to explain. But she said chloe leather bags something, chloe paraty and it all felt much better."Well... The thing is, it might sound chloe leather bags strange. It did to me at first. What she said was that if I didn't want to be creative, if I really didn't feel like it, that was perfectly all right. Nothing wrong with it, she said.Tommy nodded, but I was already turning away.That's just rubbish, Tommy. If you're going to play stupid games, I can't be bothered."I was genuinely angry, because I thought he was lying to me, just when I deserved to be taken into his confidence. Spotting a girl I knew a few places back, I went blue christian louboutin over to her, leaving Tommy standing. I could see he was bewildered and crestfallen, but after the months I'd spent worrying about him, I felt betrayed, and didn't care how he felt. I chatted with my friend--I think it was Matilda--as cheerfully as possible, and hardly looked his way for the rest of the time we were in the queue.But as I was carrying my plate to the tables, Tommy came up behind me and said quickly: "Kath, I wasn't trying to pull your leg, if that's what you think. It's what happened. chloe ethel satchel I'll tell you about it if you give me half a chance.Don't talk rubbish, Tommy."Kath, I'll tell you about it. I'll be down at the pond after lunch. If you come down there, I'll tell you."coach online store
