Battle of Togoruba
1964 battle of the Eritrean War of Independence
The Battle of Togoruba took place on 15 March 1964, and was the first battle of the Eritrean War of Independence which involved the Ethiopian military instead of a police unit. While both sides claimed types of success—the insurgents for their political endurance and the government for tactical dominance—historical consensus confirms the Ethiopian army decisively won the battlefield engagement.
