Correction- After Eritrea’s independence in 1991 Ethiopia was allowed to use Eritrea’s ports of Assab and Massawa for almost free of charge. Just before Ethiopia declared war on Eritrea in 1998 under the pretext of border dispute Ethiopia abandoned using g these ports and diverted all cargo ships to Djibouti. And the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said that he doesn’t want Eritrea to profit from the port services and added that Eritrea can use the port of Assab as a pond for the camels to drink from. That was the arrogance of Ethiopia’s best leader. Ethiopia’s major problem has always being lack of wise leadership with a vision that promotes social justice and the rule of law. Sadly for the Ethiopian people it’s the same vicious cycle of conflict, poverty and corruption where the inflation is skyrocketing and youth unemployment unbearable and the debts repayments to both China and the west have defaulted. If the internal conflict, corruption and the economic bankruptcy is not addressed Ethiopia will end up like Sudan and eventually disintegrate like Yugoslavia.

Ethiopia is a piece of buiscuit ready to split at any moment. Look at the bigger picture buddy, The pharaohs have been waiting to pounce on ethiopia for years

Your analysis overlooks the historical context of British colonialism granting Ogaden, Howd, and reserve areas to Ethiopia. Additionally, it fails to address Ethiopia's existing control of the Djibouti port through leasing agreements and its lease of the Berbera port in Somaliland. suggesting that Ethiopia is seeking ownership of ports and military bases close to its borders rather than further lease agreements. This situation suggests a potential gradual annexation of the 20-kilometer land and sea territories by Ethiopia. However, it's crucial to note the historical territorial disputes between Somalis and Ethiopia. Many Somalis view this as another instance of Ethiopian invansion in their land, potentially escalating into a significant conflict in the Horn of Africa. Somalia is actively combating the Al-Shabaab insurgency and making notable progress. The nation is emerging from a prolonged civil war. Conversely, Ethiopia's governance is increasingly autocratic, with the Abiy administration accused of orchestrating massacres against the Tigray people in the Tigray region, prompting concerns from several human rights groups about potential ethnic cleansing. Similar conflicts are unfolding in the Amhara and Oromia regions, where government forces are clashing with armed rebels. Notably, economic hardships persist, leading the country toward a potential descent into civil war that could integrate the country. In an apparent attempt to divert public attention from these pressing issues, the Abiy government has opted to open a new front by signing an agreement with a breakaway region that remains unrecognized by any country.

Eritrea has always been a sovereign country that has been colonised for more than century. Eritrea was colonisd by the Turksh Ottoman empire for 300-400 years, then the Egyptian, then the Italian, then the British, then the Ethiopian. In the early 1950s, after the British colonisation of Eritrea, Eritrea was refused their independence and given a federation treaty with Ethiopia. This was done forcfully without the voice or referendum of Eritrean people, while all African colonised countries was given their independence. That federation treaty was unlawfully violated and abolished by the last emperor of Ethiopia and Ethiopia colonised Eritrea. After 30 years of war for independence against the resistance of the colony of Ethiopia , in 1991 Eritrea gained its lawful and legal independence which was supposed to happen in the early 1950s just like all agrican colonised countries. In 1993, a referendum for independence was held and 99.8% of Eritrea people voted for independence.

Somali Land is one of the most stable and democratic country in Africa! Let them get independence from the failed state of Somalia. The port deal is a win win for all nations in East Africa!

International law, African Union law must work, Ethiopia's desire to access the sea water, can get it to follow international law and peaceful negotiations with its neighbors. It cannot be achieved by force and war, and Somalis are not a people to be defeated by force! Although Ethiopia has a large population and military strength, The world, especially other countries in the Horn of Africa, the United States and the European Union will not allow Ethiopia to create more insecurity and conflict in the Horn of Africa again. We know the history of the war between Somalia and Ethiopia in 1977 and the result of that war! However, the differences between the Somaliland administration and the central government of Somalia is something that belongs to Somalis, its internal affairs, of course the world can mediate and support them if necessary and needed!

It’s a very bone headed move by Ethiopia and quite honestly surprised. Ethiopia has probably more organised ethnic liberation movements than any country in Africa, multiple regions are clamouring for independence. They just ended a 2 year civil war against Tigray who wanted to secede. The flames in Oromia is still burning and the Somali region can blow up anytime .Not to mention Abiy completely violated the Tripartite Agreement with Eritrea & Somalia signed in 2018 which states that they must all “respecting each other's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity”. Seems like Abiy’s agreements aren’t worth the paper they are written on. as somali we wll defend our land

I must say that the statement you made is completely false. If you read the news, you would know that Tigray never intended to secede from Ethiopia. In fact, no region in Ethiopia is fighting for independence. Although there is some conflict in certain areas, the root of the issue is primarily politically motivated. Furthermore, I fail to see why it would be a problem for Ethiopia to engage in a mutually beneficial partnership with Somaliland. If the United Arab Emirates can do it, why can't Ethiopia? What is the issue with us?

Ethiopia is a strong country and strong people they were never colonised by Italy and as for somalia they were colonised by two states British and Italy....to give it a fair shot Ethiopia should have full access to the port and have indipendence on it and if its in terms of war Somaliland and the somalis might lose in a horrific way

Ethiopia, namely Addis Ababa was not conquered because of its mountainous terrain, which proved challenging for the Italian invaders, instead they took the flatter areas along the coastline. It has little to do with Ethiopia being a "strong" country... Menelik also sold Ethiopia out by giving away lands.

This is a win-win for both countries! The Economist, stop spreading the war narrative as usual!! Africa & Ethiopia is so much more than your war analysis!! Africa's time to grow & and develop is now & this is one such opportunity!!

Ethiopia wants to Annex parts of Somalia 🇸🇴 but this will destabilize Ethiopia and most likely Ethiopia will ended up like former Yugoslavia.

Ethiopia you have to ready to pay the price of this issue 😡😡😡😡Ethiopia we know us very well so stop what you are doing 🇸🇴

2006 Ethiopia invaded Somalia. Out of that invasion Alshabab was born. Since then, Ethiopia was forced to withdraw; however, they left behind Alshabab powerful enough to wreak havoc both in Somalia and to the lesser extent Kenya and Uganda. Now, if Ethiopia invades Somali Red Sea coast, southern tip of Bab El Mandeb where 30% of world commerce passes through, no doubt, Alshabab and more extreme groups will gather there and the whole world trade will be affected. This time around, 100% of the Somalis are in agreement to fight the invading forces.

The strategic miscalculation of Ethiopia government is a evident failure to understand our Somali culture and historical dynamics and an underestimation of our resilience will play a pivotal role in our Somali nationalism driven by the deep seated Somali determination to defend our Somali sovereignty and perceived strength of sacrifice as a triumph against any foreign invasion ? Victory will be with us insha Allah let us remind the Ethiopia the old lesson of sovereignty again and again Somalia somali ba leh

Somaliland does not even control the borders it claims

How come you did not mention the Ogaden region of Somalia which the the British illegally gave it to Ethiopia??? We the Somali people are actually trying to get the Ogaden region back!!!

There is no force that can stop Ethiopia, Somaliland will become a country and Ethiopia will celebrate the sea gate

Somaliland is realty on the ground

It's unbelievable to everyone that an Oromo leader would attempt interfere with Somalia's sovereignty. An ethnic group (oromo) that we protect them from Mingistu brutal regime that destroyed them. Their language was wrote for the first in Mogadishu after Amhara refused to acknowledge their language. Warning ⚠️ to everyone, Somalia's sovereignty and territorial integraty is unquestionably, ignoring such warning will put us back 200 years of poverty. It's catastrophic
