How about you gain control of a third of your territory that your gov't doesn't control... like before seeking access to a sea you don't border? I think that would be a good idea 😉

Ethiopia should be more focused on the balkanization and disintegration of your country. I'm rooting for the tensions to increase.

Ports and trade are the arteries of a growing economy. I am sure Ethiopia's ambitions can be realized through cooperation with its neighbors. Connecting! 👍

#Ethiopian senior defense official cites ‘history’, ‘national survival’, and ‘security’ to justify need for #Red_Sea presence Major General Teshome Gemechu, Director-General of International Relations and Military Cooperation at the Ministry of Defense, has reiterated Ethiopia’s resolve to secure access to the Red Sea, particularly Assab, describing it as a historical right and a matter of national survival. He outlined four justifications: Ethiopia’s historic ties to Assab, international law provisions for landlocked states, existential survival needs, and growing security threats. “The Red Sea was once part of us. Assab was part of our territory,” he said, questioning the legitimacy of the transitional government in the early 1990s that allowed Eritrea’s secession. Citing “security concerns”, Maj. Gen. Teshome warned that Ethiopia’s cities, including Addis Abeba, could face “missile threats” from the sea, making military presence essential to safeguard national interests. He nonetheless said that Ethiopia’s priority remains a diplomatic solution. Watch

🇪🇹 Why #Ethiopia Must Regain Access to the Red Sea? 🔹 Historical Justice 1. The transfer of #Assab to Eritrea was illegitimate. Neither the #EPLF (Shabiya) nor the #TPLF had a popular mandate to determine borders or sovereignty, as both were unelected movements. 2. Assab historically belonged to Ethiopia and served as its primary port until the 1990s. 🔹 Legal & Moral Right Under International Law - Landlocking Ethiopia, a nation of 120+ million people violates the principle of equitable access to the sea and hinders economic sovereignty. - International law supports negotiated sea access for landlocked countries, and Ethiopia has both historical and legal grounds to reclaim this right. 🔹 Regional Security Imperatives - The Red Sea is a strategic corridor now facing instability due to Houthi rebel activities, piracy, and geopolitical rivalries. - Ethiopia, as one of the world’s top contributors to UN peacekeeping, is positioned to enhance maritime security and stabilize the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. 🔹 Economic Necessity - Dependency on neighboring ports exposes Ethiopia to political risk, inflated costs, and logistical bottlenecks. - Direct access to the Red Sea is essential for unleashing Ethiopia’s economic potential, supporting regional trade, and ensuring energy security. 🔸 Conclusion Ethiopia’s access to the Red Sea is not just a historical right, it is a strategic, economic, and moral imperative for regional balance and national development. - #RedSeaForEthiopia - #AssabIsEthiopian - #SeaAccessNow - #EthiopiaRising - #DecolonizeTheSea

I often see Eritreans debating about “Who Rules the Red Sea”. The debate over who "rules" the Red Sea, I believe misses multiple points. In short: no one does, the waves do. The Red Sea as a high-sea is a shared commons, not a sovereign domain. A better question may be is: “Who uses it?” Under international maritime law, every nation has the right to navigate and utilize it freely. For Ethiopia, the pursuit of reliable Red Sea access is rooted in history and justice. Once a littoral state with direct coastline, Ethiopia lost that access through unfair circumstances. Yes, restoring sustainable and equitable access is not ambition, it's a legitimate national imperative for Ethiopia. #Ethiopia #Eritrea #RedSea #HornOfAfrica

“How can the interests of 200 million be blocked for two million people?” – Army Chief questions fairness of Ethiopia’s landlocked status Field Marshal Birhanu Jula, Chief of General Staff of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces, questioned the fairness of Ethiopia’s landlocked status, stressing the country’s need for peace, development, and sea access. Speaking at the 118th Ethiopian Defense Force Day at the Ethiopian Naval Force Training School, Field Marshal Birhanu said, “Our population is now 130 million. In the next 25 years, it will reach 200 million. How can the interests of 200 million people be blocked for the benefit of a community of two million? It is not fair. It is not in line with international law, and it is not logical.” He accused historical adversaries of depriving Ethiopia of maritime access while acknowledging past internal mistakes. The army chief pledged to strengthen the defense forces, accelerate development, and secure sea access for the country.

Ethiopia’s narrative of ‘access to the sea’ is reckless and destabilizing. It mirrors Bibi Netanyahu’s ‘river to sea’ slogan, an expansionist dream that only fuels conflict. PM Abiy’s push to dominate from river to sea is firmly rejected by Red Sea nations, who will never allow such ambition. This dangerous rhetoric risks igniting war, plunging the Horn of Africa into chaos. The sooner Ethiopia abandons this destructive narrative, the better for peace, stability, and regional security.
