US interest in Eritrea is clear for them its is control over the Red Sea region which Eritrea sits in.
The US already controls over the Red Sea region, 100 percent.
The Government of Eritrea has no say in the maritime security affairs in the Red Sea, It's Djibouti, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, the United States and its European allies who control it, Eritrea and Sudan are just a bystanders, Yemen is now in war with itself.
Djibouti regulate navigation in the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, All ships entering and exiting the Red Sea must provide a 48 hours advanced notice of arrival to the Djibouti authorities.
The problem is you seem like an ethnocentric individual whose obsessed with ethnicity similar to many TPLFites.
That's not true, I am not in any way obsessed with ethnicity, however I am aware you guys hate the terms "Afar State and Afar Sea" but it is what it is, deal with it.
Afars own the land and 70 percent of Eritrea coastline.
