On the 21st of March, 2025 Heathrow Airport in London experienced a major incident that disrupted its whole operation for almost the whole day. Heathrow is the largest airport but not the only one in GB, or even in London. The cause of the incident is said to be related to a fire-incident in an electric power supply substation, which powers the whole airport and other critical facilities in the area. Such a major power supply infrastructure could have been designed to have a spare in case of unexpected incident like this one to the standard. But for some reason it turned out that this was not the case and as critical as the airport for the British and international economy may be, it was also designed not to withstand a term technically dubbed SPF (Single Point of Failure). A major flaw in designing principles, probably this was due to the massive cost such an additional facility could have incurred, while not operational when the standard station is in operation. A standby is a cost factor.

This one day disruption could has caused hundreds of millions of USD in lost revenue and other claims that the service users have to face, mostly these are the airlines, whose customers are affected ultimately.

A single airport in a single city failing for a day can cause 100s of millions of financial lose, here is the wake-up call.

If a single airport can cause that much, then what will happen if the major artery of the national economy of a country with more than 130 millions if the single seaport may experience some sort of a failure??

Ethiopia will be cut-off the international market without any pre-notice, every citizen will be forced to bear the burden, specially our industries will come to a standstill, Ethiopian agriculture could face existential threat, crops production collapse because the main agricultural supply (fertilizer) will not be able to enter the nation, and many more. These are now hypothetical scenarios, for now.

But pay a close attention to our business partners on this regard: Djibouti is simply put unreliable, that tiny country has opted to make herself a maid for anybody who can pay her for the night. Even competing powers have built their military bases in that very tinny land, next to each other's bases. Objectively Djibouti is not a reliable business partner, even if it may not have any bad intention for Ethiopia.

Turn to Eritrea, another tinny nation trying much to overstretch itself to hand twist Ethiopia using its port of Assab, which it illegally confiscated from Ethiopia. We have seen how just recently the mobs ruling over that tinny country were making high pitched cries of "backstabber" in reference to Ethiopia and her leadership. This all only because its ambition to interfere in the internal affairs of the nation was thwarted and Eritrea was told to keep its distance when it comes to our internal affairs and stop its meddling in the internal affairs of our nation.

Unless Ethiopia could get a binding and long term guarantee that she can rely on the use of the port, there is no way that Ethiopia can trust those who want to rule over Eritrea, today or tomorrow.

Ethiopia has no other option than securing an unfettered access to the sea, ASAP!
Any other claim is simple gibberish without a meaning.

Dumber and dumber,

Ethiopia is finished. That is obvious when Wedi Beshasha's defence ministry can only issue an impotent statement because an Agame General has killed God knows how many of their federal soldiers. Cleansing the region of foreign stooges will continue until the PP clowns are annihilated! So, you want to take our lands! የምትበላው የላት የምትከናነበው ኣማራት። We will show you that no one messes with Eritrea and lives long!
