His Excellency Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed
Office of the Prime Minister
P.O. Box 1031
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Dear Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed,
I am writing to you as a concerned and patriotic Ethiopian, compelled by the enduring significance of our nationโs sovereignty and the unity of our people. This letter seeks to bring to your esteemed attention the matter of the Asseb port, a territory of profound historical, economic, and strategic value to Ethiopia.
As you are well aware, the Asseb port has been a subject of contention and a symbol of lost potential for Ethiopia. Historically, Asseb served as a vital maritime gateway for Ethiopia, fostering trade and economic growth. The absence of direct access to Asseb in recent years has significantly hampered our nation's economic development and regional influence.
The reintegration of the Asseb port into Ethiopian territory is not merely a matter of national pride but a crucial step towards securing our economic sovereignty and enhancing our regional standing. The strategic importance of Asseb cannot be overstated, offering Ethiopia a direct outlet to the sea, which is indispensable for our trade, investment, and overall economic expansion.
I urge your government to prioritize diplomatic efforts and negotiations aimed at the peaceful reintegration of the Asseb port into Ethiopia. Such a move would not only correct a historical anomaly but also signal to the world our commitment to national development, unity, and prosperity.
I trust in your leadership and vision for an Ethiopia that secures its rightful place on the global stage, leveraging all its resources, including strategic assets like the Asseb port. I believe that under your guidance, Ethiopia can navigate the complexities of this issue with wisdom and foresight.
Thank you for considering this appeal, which reflects not only my sentiments but those of many Ethiopians who long to see our nation thrive in unity and strength.
Sincerely,

Egypt has always pursued its national interests and security in East Africa by ensuring Ethiopiaโs economy stays constrained. Ethiopia has paid a heavy price for being locked away from the sea. Most Ethiopians, and the current government, know Assab was taken through conspiracy involving Egypt. That belief is grounded in history.
Egypt does not seek mutual benefit with Ethiopia.

Eritrea was illegally separated from Ethiopia. Isaias was never elected by Eritreans, and Eritreans never voted for independence. Egypt orchestrated the whole thing.
Egyptians still cling to a delusional โhistorical rightโ to control the Blue Nile inside Ethiopia. Ethiopians correctly see Egypt as a historical enemy. So whose version of history is supposed to rule?
The solution is simple: sit down, talk, and reach an agreement based on mutual benefit not threats, not demands, not force.

Egypt needs to face reality, abandon its outdated colonial thinking, and deal with Ethiopia on the basis of mutual respect and mutual benefit.

Isaias Afwerki does not lead a nation.
He holds an entire people like hostages in their own land.
An entire generation has grown up without knowing what the rest of the world takes for granted while the regime controls every breath, every movement, every chance at a better life.
They cannot speak.
