Former Professor of political science Alemayehu G. Mariam's Imperial Nostalgia and Refusal to Swallow Eritrean Sovereignty
by Ghidewon Abay Asmerom (@Ghidewon)
I recently came across two articles on X (formerly Twitter) that left me wondering whether the author was deliberately rewriting history or had become so entangled in his own contradictions that he could no longer distinguish between international law, imperial nostalgia, and wishful thinking.
The author is Alemayehu G. Mariam, a former professor of political science at California State University, San Bernardino, who prefers to go by the Americanized name Al Mariam.

ERITREA’S COVETED GEOPOLITICAL LOCATION AND IRREPLACEABLE STRATEGIC ROLE IN THE RED SEA AND THE HORN OF AFRICA
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Eritrea
Research and Documentation Division
29 October 2026
Eritrea’s geopolitical significance and strategic role is deeply rooted in its geography, history, and the resilience of its people and statehood. From the earliest human migrations and the development of ancient civilizations to the emergence of the modern international system, the territory of present-day Eritrea has occupied an important position at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East, and the wider world. Its strategic importance, already considerable in antiquity (part of this history is covered in the book ‘Periplus of the Erythraean Sea’), has assumed even greater significance in the modern era, particularly following the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869.

AFRICAN HITLER’S ROAD TO RUIN: WHY ABIY AHMED’S TERRITORIAL AMBITIONS MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE THEY ENGULF THE HORN OF AFRICA
By Biniam Tsegai
…Why might a leader pursue coercive territorial ambitions when his country faces domestic conflict, economic constraints, and uncertain foreign support? Ethiopia’s pursuit of sovereign Red Sea access under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed makes that question urgent. From peace loving people perspectives, the answer must begin with Eritrea’s sovereignty, national security, and hard-won independence.
…Eritrea’s independence is settled. Assab and Massawa belong to Eritrea, and their future belongs to its people. No historical grievance, imported arsenal, or foreign patron gives Abiy Ahmed authority over that homeland. He must abandon this dangerous course before the dream he sells as Ethiopia’s salvation becomes the disaster its children inherit.
