Veteran Ethiopian Diplomat ramps up rhetoric about the Ethiopian "right to sea" and need for "port diversification"

He wants either eritrean ports or somali ports


'Assab' or "Zeila/Berbera'

 

[GaradShabeel]

What’s up with their entitlement?

Granted, no neighboring country with a port would in their right mind deny giving Ethiopia access through a mutual agreement considering the potential trade volume from a country of 120 million people.

But the more Ethiopian officials openly espouse these viewpoints, they more isolated they’ll be. He even said that ‘big power’ countries agrees with him.
They are stepping into dangerous territories, and Eritrea & Somalia should watch out closely.

Right to a sea? Is that a thing.

 

[Burqad]

Czechia and Slovakia and Switzerland all do well without having a port.

Very scary comments if Somalia was a normal country the entire army will had been mobilized along the border as a results of those comments

Ethiopia has no means to wage a full scale war, I think people forget Ethiopia is a 4th world nation. Yes you could bring up the 2006 invasion, but they didn’t have a choice in the matter. As they were forced to invade Somalia by the United States. That invasion was banked rolled by Uncle Sam himself. People here give Ethiopia too much credit, they have continually interfered in our country’s sovereignty because our politicians have allowed it. They won’t be able to force anyone to there whim if our politicians remain steadfast, their only option is to negotiate a fair settlement for both parties.

unfortunately they’ll probably achieve their goal of securing a port all to themselves, if corruption isn’t addressed.

Ethiopia is on its way down and its realizing this having an external enemy goal to distract the populous from realizing the ship is sinking id what this idiot is trying to do but it won't work and time is not on their side.
