Ethiopia doesn't really have any real need for an access to the sea for its export and import trade.

"In 2022, Ethiopia exported a total of $4.24B, making it the number 134 exporter in the world. Its exports are led by Coffee ($1.55B), Gold ($546M), Cut Flowers ($255M), Other Vegetables ($235M), and Other Oily Seeds ($212M), and the most common destination for its exports were United Arab Emirates ($723M), United States ($557M), Germany ($274M), Saudi Arabia ($268M), and Somalia ($265M)."

These goods are exported exclusively via airfreight.

"In 2023, Ethiopia imported $17.9 billion worth of goods, and its top imports included wheat, refined petroleum, vaccines, blood, antisera, toxins and cultures, palm oil, and nitrogenous fertilizers. Ethiopia's main import partners are China and India, and 97% of these goods are imported through Djibouti port, transported by trucks from the port of Djibouti to Addis Ababa and other parts of Ethiopia."

Not only is this showing that Ethiopia is not a heavy exporter/importer country, but also, that it does not have any reasonable need for any more access to the sea.

In addition, the GDP of Ethiopia was between 1% and 3% when Ethiopia had a full and free of charge access to Eritrea's ports. While its GDP has grown between 5% and 9% since Eritrea has gained its hard fought and well applauded independence and Ethiopia has depended upon Djibouti port, which has since been handling Ethiopia's trade.

The access to the sea empty rhetoric is only a cheap strategy of the current Galla Ethiopia to confuse Ethiopians failure to convince them on distracting them from the real and pressing domestic issues.

Stupid and funny that an Arab Abid slave Zoomaliman wants to convince landlocked Ethiopians: You do not need a port. A port is not important.
If a port is not important, why is Djibouti and Somaliland begging Ethiopia to take or lease a port for long term?
Take this stupidity to your Arab master Egypt for some change.

If a port is not important, why is Djibouti and Somaliland begging Ethiopia to take or lease a port for long term?

Neither Djibouti nor the breakaway region of Somalia has ever begged your cursed land to use their ports.

It's rather the Galla Ethiopia that's parroting "access to the sea" as if Djibouti had closed access to the sea to Ethiopia.

It's of course to make money out of your ar'ses.

There's no need to parrot that there are 120 rats in Ethiopia without ports.
