After Suez- and Panama-Canals, Ethio-Canal?
I am not sure, if there are any other similarly and artificially constructed Canals like the Suez- (first) and then the Panama-Canal (both reportedly engineered by French engineers and innovators) for the sole purpose of facilitating maritime trade between two water bodies. If history may repeat itself an Ethiopian Canal could be the third in its kind. In this case connecting the Gulf of Eden with an inland water in the Country. This could be a new innovation of a mega scale, if happened.

They say that in a million years, the Rift Valley will be part of the Red Sea. But, but, it doesn't pass through Oromia. Thus, Oromia will never avoid what the Agames call ክባይ ዕጽዋይ.

Re: After Suez- and Panama-Canals, Ethio-Canal?
The whole world will be cheering for Ethiopia if it can pull off such a grand project… much better than be envious of your neighbors assets and threaten to take it from them by force. This’s 2023 that nations should not be resorting to war to solve their issues…
The other option I posted here many times here’s a lock dam the Red Sea and flood the denakil depression (100 m below sea level already) with a canal that will have a hydroelectric dam that can produce huge power for Eritrea and Ethiopia and enable Ethiopia to have a port or ports in its territory of afar kilil. The other benefits of this scheme is the evaporation of the water from the denakil depression will rain in the high lands of northern Ethiopia and southern Eritrea, benefiting the agricultural sector of those arid regions.
There was a study done by an Eritrean scientist on this topic that I read the article before:

Re: After Suez- and Panama-Canals, Ethio-Canal?
Jaegol,
thanks for the link. It is in the milieu of scientific research and needs to be looked at more closely, specially by the respective professionals of the fields of Engineering, I think.
As far as I know there has never been a threat to take something by force from somebody. You might have more closer source to your claims here.
What I heard from the side of the Ethiopian government is "let's cooperate" and I wonder how that could be interpreted as a threat.
In saying "let's cooperate" one has also used a simple human intelligence and predicted saying, if we can't settle this issue today, it will lead to the use of force down the road. The other side of the divide could have put forward its own view and try to disprove the prediction in a civilized way. Instead it rushed to beat the drum of war, for whatever reason. Not only started to bit the drum of war but also rushed to build a coalition against Ethiopia for the war effort. The war drum could have only pulled the unavoidable means of war to resolve the issue closer in time, if I am asked.
Let's cooperate can't be interpreted as a threat, as far as I can say. Somebody must have felt insecure and taken over by panic spontaneously, that much is clear.

Re: After Suez- and Panama-Canals, Ethio-Canal?
Suez Canal was built inside Egypt territory and Egypt is benefitting from it.
Panama Canal also was built in Panama’s territories and thus is benefitting Panama. The longest and deepest other canal was built with in India’s territories to benefit the the dry area of India through irrigations.
Now how on hell is Ethiopia to dig inside Eritrea’s territories to reach the sea?
Who the [deleted] do you think you are to dig in our domain?
You can dig from Diredawa to Mekele for what we care. It is your territory and you can do what ever you want to do with it.
Connecting Red Sea with Ethiopia doesn’t not have any value to the already existing maritime venture. It will only benefit Ethiopia at the expense of Eritrea and Djibouti.
So I bet Djibouti won’t allow Ethiopia to dig in Djibouti’s territories and cut its fingers from receiving the billions of dollars it is milking Ethiopia. Well that is what we Eritrea would do. Tell you to go fu’ck yourselves. You ain’t gonna dig an inch of Eritrea’s land to go to our ports. We rather use them as camels drinking water.
You are desperate that you are trying to use our ports but are still trying to not Eritrea benefit from its natural gifts.
Well, get in to your senses. Your only option is to go fu’ck yourselves telling us to fu’ck ourselves in demanding you pay arms and legs to use our ports.
Idiots.
Are you out of your freaking minds to even think such bizarre venture in a domain which doesn’t belong to you?
Wow, this is why I call you low IQ scum bags.
