As one who just visited both countries, I can not only confirm but add to the story. The capital of Eritrea is now Addis Ababa. How true! Countless Eritrean diaspora is forced to fly to Addis and other cities to meet aged parents and loved ones as going back home has become an uncertain adventure.
The parents usually take the bus to the border area, then go around HGDEF checkpoint to cross by foot (30 minutes). Once they are out of their country and inside Ethiopia, they take another bus to Addis, Mequelle etc etc. I have close relatives who did just that to be at a wedding held in Addis. This story tells the loss in money terms.
I think the social cost is even more disturbing. Imagine how many relatives miss the wedding and life time memories. Addis Bole airport is where this tragedy is seen as well. I met two very aged unaccompanied parents struggle to carry their belongings. Nobody helping them navigate. They then met a relative who flew in to Addis. Once they left the terminal, I was shocked to see more than 10 young relatives of theirs receive them.
It takes a lot to share and I thought I couldn't but this story gave me the strength. A cab driver in Asmara had described to me this same story and lamented how Asmera is losing business to Addis. It's a sad story and this isn't even 1% of the overall story.

Sad to see a country blessed with Human and Natural resources to be a play ground of the BA$TARD ዓጋመ Isayas who complicates existent and non existent issues by creating Fear among the Eritrean People to secure his Own Power.
If it was not for the fvcking game he plays to stay in power, the filthy and weak Woyane would have been history.
The BA$TARD ዓጋመ Isayas - wedi medhn berad, played the same game during the struggle - during PLF and EPLF struggle for independence to stay in Power and he is doing it now for the same reason to stay in Power.
The BA$TARD ዓጋመ Isayas has no kinship or relation with the Eritrean People and the Eritrean Land.
He never cared about Eritrea and the Eritrean People before and He does not care Now.
He is there for His Own Power.
