'Ethiopia Will Have a Sea Port': Abiy Ahmed Challenges Eritrea's Red Sea Grip | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed begins a new five-year term and Ethiopia reignites its aggressive push for sovereign access to the Red Sea, framing maritime routes as an existential requirement for its economic future. However, this renewed geopolitical ambition has triggered an explosive diplomatic meltdown with neighbouring Eritrea, resulting in mutual embassy closures, the expulsion of diplomats, and a total rupture in bilateral relations. Asmara has fiercely rejected Addis Ababa’s maritime demands, aligning with regional powers to secure a united front against any territorial encroachment. This high-stakes showdown comes while federal forces grapple with a volatile security crisis and renewed conflict on the home front in Tigray. On Firstpost Africa, we analyse how Ethiopia's pursuit of a coastline is colliding with a volatile Red Sea power struggle, threatening to destabilise the entire Horn of Africa.
