The name ‘Eritrea’ was officially introduced in 1890 when Italy established the colony of Eritrea along the Red Sea. The name Ethiopia was established 1931, as confirmed by the constitution under Haile Selassie, which referred to the country as the ‘Empire of Ethiopia. So the modern Ethiopia is younger than Eritrea. Even in 1931 still landlocked country, Ethiopia just needs accept to live with it.

Plaut isn't historian, he is a propagandist. so take his commentaries as such. the connotation is that the timeline for everything begins when Europeans are introduced to it, It is colonial legacy same as the guy who is attributed to have 'discovered America.' European and external sources used "Abyssinia" while Ethiopian rulers and chroniclers had long employed "Ethiopia" in official correspondence and self-reference dating back centuries since the time of Aksum. As a matter of the fact most of the continent was known as Ethiopia as Aksum traded with the Persian, romans etc. Following the decisive victory at the Battle of Adwa in 1896, the international recognition was forced. Italy, British, French and Germans and others signed treaties with Ethiopia, the name on this treaties was Ethiopia rather than what Europeans refered to Abyssinia. Ethiopia is not a joiner but a founding member of UN. the fact is things don't start with european blessing particularly in Ethiopia.

Abiy Ahmed’s PP cadres sound ridiculous. Every time there’s a new headline, you try to link Eritrea to it, first the Muslim Brotherhood in Sudan, now the Houthis. It’s the same recycled narrative. Are you seriously hoping the U.S. will just accept that and punish Eritrea? How stupid do you think the U.S. is?

Sudan &Eritrea’s regime continues to fuel regional instability. By facilitating arms transfers for Houthi insurgents, Asmara is escalating tensions in the Horn of Africa. The cycle of disruption must end. ​#SecurityAlert #Geopolitics #EritreaCrisis

This is why Ethiopia took operational control of the Red Sea coastline. Terrorism on the Red Sea will not be tolerated.

You’re mixing legal terminology with selective history, and that’s exactly where your argument falls apart. First, UN Resolution 390(A)(V) did NOT erase Eritrea’s colonial status,it recognized it as a former Italian colony and created a federation, not absorption. Eritrea retained its own parliament, flag, and autonomy. That means it was never legally integrated as an ordinary province under international law. Second, Ethiopia unilaterally dismantled that federation in 1962. That act violated the UN-backed arrangement. Eritrea’s status changed by force, not by lawful process, so calling it a “self-administered province” ignores the illegality of that annexation. Third, the principle of uti possidetis juris absolutely applies. Why? Because Eritrea’s internationally recognized boundaries were those of the former Italian colony. That’s exactly what the doctrine protects, colonial borders at the moment of independence. You don’t get to erase that by pointing to a later illegal annexation. And finally, your Assab argument doesn’t hold. Assab was part of Eritrea under Italian administration, and therefore part of the same colonial territorial unit. Strategic value or ethnic composition doesn’t override internationally recognized borders. Bottom line: Eritrea’s independence wasn’t about “breaking away from a province.” It was the completion of a decolonization process interrupted by annexation. That’s why the international community recognized Eritrea as a separate state in 1993.

Eritreas last status was not a colony. Resolution 390(A)(V) (1950) established Eritrea as an autonomous unit federated with Ethiopia under the sovereignty of the Ethiopian Crown and later a self administered province. Assab was a separate province under Ethiopias full control because of its strategic port value to Ethiopia and its Afar population. colonial border principle of uti possidetis juris "as you possess under law" does not apply here and cannot be applied retroactively 41 years back to the time Eritrea was Italian colony by bypassing above mentioned facts. Uti possidetis is a principle primarily used in decolonization to freeze colonial administrative boundaries at independence for new states. Ethiopia is independent sovereign state and Eritrea was federation then a province making the application of colonial principles totally inapplicable.
Marilena Dolce@EritreaLive

Even after the abrogation of the Treaty of Wuchale, the recognized border between Eritrea and Ethiopia runs from the Mareb River to Assab. A historical fact that should not be overlooked. eritrealive.com/il-trattato-di… #Eritrea #Ethiopia #HornOfAfrica #History

The Saudis have a stronger financial and geopolitical incentive to invest in Ethiopia’s new mega airport than in any ports in Eritrea. They are fully aware that Isaias is more of a liability than a reliable investment partner in this rapidly changing region. Moreover, Riyadh has long known that neither the Assab nor the Massawa file is truly settled and can be reopened any time.

Sudan 🇸🇩: in the latest escalation of this war RSF militants launched a major cross border assault from Ethiopia into Sudan's Blue Nile state and seized control of the border town of Kurmuk. This attack painfully demonstrates Ethiopia's increasing role as an ally of the RSF.

Israeli forces are present and active in their aggression inside Lebanese sovereign territory. Israel erased the border line and collapsed any claim of Israel’s sovereign legitimacy. At this point, this isn’t an inter-state dispute but an internal one. You cannot claim independence and sovereignty only when it suits you, This is basically what you sound like. Absolutely ridiculous.

@RobelYeshitla @Ilyasdawaleh @Zemedeneh Now you learned how to keep Eritrea out of your mouth. Keep it up, but you should also learn to do the same about Djibouti too. Just accept that Ethiopia is landlocked nation and look for a better commercial access rate. That's it and peace will prevail.

Djibouti and Eritrea exist in strategic terms to constrain Ethiopia. there isn’t viability as extorting transit toll isn’t one.The French created Djibouti out of the Afar and Issa coast to constrain Ethiopia by controlling its access to the Red Sea. Djibouti should have ended with colonialism and its continued existence serves strategic gatekeeping and the constraining of Ethiopia. Earlier Ethiopian leadership made calculated strategic concessions out of necessity, albeit still strategic liability. Later leadership treated that temporary necessity as permanent doctrine, that was shortsighted. The current leadership has both the opportunity and the obligation to end this dependency and convert the inherited liability into strategic asset for future for coming generations. Umer Guile is uncomfortable with the idea of Somaliland- another Djibouti next door with same rent-based economic model that breaks his monopoly and decades of exploiting Ethiopia’s geopolitical misfortune. Before colonialism, the Red Sea corridor operated within an Ethiopian centered political order. French Somaliland emerged from Emperor Menelik II’s mutual recognition with France and subsequent concessions rooted in strategic maturity. The logic was clear. Djibouti existed as a functional maritime outlet for Ethiopia, not as a port divorced from its hinterland. Djibouti survived independence in 1977 by preserving this corridor logic, which sustained its economy, legitimacy and international relevance. Any Egyptian security apparatus presence in Djibouti threatens the very equilibrium that made French Somaliland and later Djibouti possible. Djibouti is a corridor state with non existent productive capablity and Ethiopia is the indispensable hinterland. Diluting this relationship destabilizes both and injects systemic risk into the Red Sea order. Ethiopia must assert this reality clearly, consistently and without ambiguity as long as this former French outpost exists. x.com/WWedelay3389/s…

To Mr. Zemedeneh Negatu @Zemedeneh, Your interview on Gazette Plus is deeply misleading and compelled me to respond. I normally don’t respond to armchair theorists, but I thought you were better informed than that. Indeed, You are free to please a narrative. I am equally free to challenge misinformation. With all due respect, claiming that 🇩🇯’s #ports are « expensive and inefficient » is not serious economics, it is simply a convenient talking point detached from facts. After Ethiopia lost direct access to the sea, Djibouti did not merely provide an alternative. Djibouti built the entire logistics backbone that enabled #Ethiopia’s #economic #transformation. More importantly, how can anyone credibly argue that Djibouti’s port investments are « insufficient »or « inappropriate »when over $10 billion has been invested in world-class infrastructure, including: • Deep-sea ports • Specialized terminals • An electrified railway • Integrated logistics corridors This is not inefficiency. This is strategic infrastructures built at scale and serving not only Ethiopia, but global trade and regional integration. Let me be absolutely clear: Without Djibouti, Ethiopia’s transformation at this scale would not have been possible. Djibouti has been an indispensable pillar of Ethiopia’s industrialization journey. As for the recurring narrative about the « billions paid to Djibouti». I welcome a transparent, fact-based debate with open books and verifiable data. Be my guest. I speak not from theory, but from direct involvement as one of the contributors and witnesses to this exceptional 🇩🇯🇪🇹 partnership journey. And also a great friend and lover of Ethiopia. You may well find that an apology to Djibouti is in order. Djibouti is not a burden. Djibouti is and has been a #strategic #multiplier for Ethiopia. It is time to move beyond misleading narratives and return to facts.

Does international law care that TPLF did not retain Assab as a port for Ethiopia in 1993 (assuming it could have)? NO. Does international law say it is illegal to make Big Countries landlocked? NO. Can Ethiopia use UNCLOS Part X as a treaty right? NO. Ethiopia did not ratify UNCLOS. Does customary law grant Ethiopia an automatic right to its own coastline or to another state’s territory? NO. Turning a political grievance into a supposed legal rule is rhetoric, not law. This is why not a single Ethiopian has been able to cite law to make their case. Just threats, intimidations against the one country in Africa where that would never work: Eritrea.

This Ethiopian banker opened with a bold, confident legal claim on Eritrean sovereignty, then immediately undermined himself by switching from legal expert to economist, and concluded by admitting he really doesn’t know because he’s in finance. Then came the grammar. He used “but” followed by something that agreed with what he had just said. The listener braces for a negation, but the banker (forced to pose as a maritime law and history expert) delivers a stronger affirmation instead. His confusion leaks into an unsure claim posing as knowledge. He appeals to himself as his own authority. “I’ve always said this,” as if personal insistence substitutes for being correct. His body language reveals everything his words try to hide: I don’t want to be held responsible for any of this; keep it away from me. Fingers interlocked, palms facing outward, like a child insisting to his mother it wasn’t his fault he made such a mess of everything. An incongruent smile for added effect. The whole thing says he’d rather be anywhere but here. And the claims? The usual historical denialism. “We gave up Assab.” No, they did not. They never had it. “It was a mistake to give up Assab.” They didn’t have a say; they were kicked out once and crushed the second time they tried.
