When ever #Ethiopia makes diplomatic relationship with any nation or body in the world, #Eritrea could not careless, in fact it sees it as a positive act. Be it the west, the east, the south... anyone!
The moment Eritrea makes diplomatic relations with any nation, be it #US, #Russia, #Egypt, #Sudan, #Somaila ...some #Ethiopian elite and especially PP minions quake in their boots and rattle their teeth and go absolutely berserk.
One is the sign of maturity, confidence and know their place in the world, and the other is the sign of complex, immaturity and have no idea where they are going in the world.
