One of the most painful wrong things that has happened to Ethiopia has been the loss of its historical right to the Red Sea which rendered it to be the most populated land locked nation on Earth. Ethiopia was intentionally denied access to the Red Sea as a strategic penalty for resisting and defeating colonization a century ago and to further siege and control it so that it could be an easy prey for their future colonial ambitions, as it happened during the 2nd invasion of Ethiopia by Italy in 1935/36. After the occupation of Ethiopia by Italy in 1936, Ethiopia was integrated to the two East Africa Italy colonies, Eritrea and Somalia, under the name of "Italian East Africa"( pls refer to the link below) . The Italian East Africa which was centered at Adidas Ababa had access to the Red Sea both from Eritrea and Somalia side and had perhaps one of the longest coastline in Africa. Based on the African union standing principle to retain colonial boundaries after independence, Ethiopia could had claimed both Eretria and Somalia to be part of Ethiopia. That may be the reason why Emperor Haile Selassie succeeded to join Eritrea with Ethiopia through federation and to integrate a large part of Somalia with Ethiopia. However, when Eritrea seceded from Ethiopia during 1991/94, the then government failed to negotiate with Isaias to secure a coastal area for the Red Sea Access and Ethiopia become once again land locked back to the time where the colonial powers intentionally land locked it, as discussed above.
Isaias's invasion of Tigray/Ethiopia and occupying large part of Tigray with the objective of changing the boundary by force has made the Algiers Agreement null and void. Therefore, as part of reversing the war of aggression by Isaias, Ethiopia could reoccupy part of the coastline of Eritrea and negotiate with post Isaias Eritrean government to secure access to the Red Sea. My recommendation is for Ethiopia to occupy the strip of land from Assab to the historic Axumite port of Adulis.
