@KjetilTronvoll@tewerwari_1 Anyone who knows anything about Eritrea knows that the government has never used loudspeakers to mobilize people; they go house to house or conduct checks on the streets to mobilize people, thus making the information used, at the very least, suspicious.
@Chakham_Analyst But the first act of aggression is not respecting a country's sovereignty. As long as you follow that route, the situation won't be resolved, and meaningful conversation won't be possible.
@RasSonderriis Secondly, you should understand that it's not about not giving them access, rather it's about not giving them ownership of it. They are two different things. On the population size, would you give your neighbor a room in your house because he/she has too many children? I doubt it
@RasSonderriis First off, you can't assume Ethiopia has had a coastline, it never had. They annexed Eritrea after the UN sponsored federation and this can't be used as an argument for historical argument. Having massive population and military doesn't guarantee success, Ethiopia is an example.
@RasSonderriis The interesting part about your answer is 'treaty', Bolivia's right is guaranteed by treaty which implies that Bolivia and Chile talked about it and agreed on it. Ethiopia and Eritrea did not agree to anything, and Ethiopia is threatening to annex Assab, thus they are different.
@JekapOmod But your brother don't come and ask you to give him a piece of your house. Until you understand that, your words will mean nothing. Calling us your brothers and trying to take our home don't go together.
@Abdrezak1584333 Ethiopia never has had sea access and it will never have one. Ethiopia has always been an expansionist state and that's what is now too. Ethiopia's claim to the sea is not really about development or peace but rather about expansion, dominance and trying to be relevant.
Ethiopians drumming the drums of war. Claiming they have the right to sea access and threatening to use force to accomplish their expansionist dreams is a total and utter ignorance. We will never give them a centimeter square of our land, air, or sea.
