The Massawa war memorial. The memorial is a composition of
 three Ethiopian tanks. The middle tank, known as Commander
 Number 1, which was the first tank captured by the EPLA at the
 battle of Adebzemat in 1977.  The other two were halted at this
location in 1991.   The tanks are surrounded by black and white
marble,   a fountain spirting from the tanks gun and flower beds.

"In Memory of the heroes who fell in the 1990 Operation Fenkel, in the 1977 battles and all other operations for the liberation of Massawa, and as a tribute to their commitment and valor, the people and the state of Eritrea dedicate this memorial. Massawa celebrates these heroes who gave their lives to give it the light of freedom with its head held high, full of hope and confidence, in diligence and determination. Today and in the future. Victory to the masses!" Consecrated on this day, Martyrs Day, June 20, 1996 by H.E. Isaias Afwerki President of the State of Eritrea.
