Somaliland and Ethiopia signs "Historic" MoU on access to Red Sea and Establishment of Naval Base

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

 

The Ethiopian Chief of General Staff stated two days ago that his country will soon become a Red Sea nation. It is unclear what precisely he meant by this. If Ethiopia is indeed making such claims, one must question what, if anything, President Hassan Sheikh achieved during the recent discussions in Turkey with Ethiopian officials. If diplomatic talks were intended to address Ethiopia’s maritime ambitions and how to get access  then it was a success for the Ethiopians ,  But Hassan said that Ethiopia will only use  Ports for trade related issues  ,yet the country continues to assert its imminent status as a Red Sea state, then one wonders what the true outcome of those negotiations was.

He meant Assab port which they believe is historically theirs. Both Eritreans and Ethiopians are amassing troops along the Tigray-Afar borders. The Eritreans have the advantage of already being inside Ethiopia. They are also supporting Amharas and the military wing of the TPLF directly.

It will be Abyssinians vs Oromo. If Abiy wins the war, the Horn is his for while and Oromo will reign supreme. If he loses, Ethiopia might cease to exist or be in perpetual war.

Ooh that explains allot  your right  it is gallas vs Abyssinians Eritreans and Amharas. On the same side  where do the tigrayans stand since the tigrayans were enemy of the Eritreans and the Amhara and to some extend also one time the enemy of the gallas

The Tigrayans are split. The old guard that controls majority of their armed forces made a deal with Afwerki. The interim government  didn’t. There were efforts to unite the two.

Regardless, everyone sees the Oromo as the bigger threat.
