Historic picture: Debrom Tuluk to the left and Seid Saleh to the right vicinity of Mendefera 1977
a historic picture of two Eritrean heroes, martyrs Debrom Tullok to the left and Seid Saleh to the right. According to my source, this picture was taken in the vicinity of Mendefera, days before the battle for its liberation was launched by the ELF in August 1977. Debrom was the head of 40 fedayeen who stormed the castle on 24th of August, which successfully terminated the operation of the town. All the 40 fedaynn including Debrom were martyred (source Nharnet archive). Debrom was one of the ELF fighters trained in Cuba. Martyr Seid Saleh was from the second group trained in China. He was brutally killed in Kassala in 1983 by the death sqauds of the EPLF.
