Osman Saleh, Eritrea’s Foreign Minister, said his country is “perplexed” by what it called Ethiopia’s “misguided and outdated ambitions” for maritime access and a naval base “through diplomacy or military force.” He urged the international community to press Ethiopia to respect “the sovereignty and territorial integrity of its neighbors.”

Osman made the remarks during a briefing at the Foreign Ministry headquarters in Asmara to resident ambassadors, members of the diplomatic corps, and heads of UN agencies. The briefing, shared by Eritrea’s Minister of Information Yemane Gebremeskel on X, addressed what Eritrea described as “false accusations” concerning its alleged preparations for war against Ethiopia, its stance on the Pretoria Agreement, and Ethiopia’s diplomatic push for sea access.


Osman said the Eritrean Defense Forces (EDF) had “redeployed to Eritrea’s internationally recognized borders” following the end of the two-year war in Tigray in November 2022. “Anyone that claims or suggests” otherwise, he said, is doing so “to scapegoat Eritrea for Ethiopia’s internal problems.”

He attributed these claims to “former TPLF members” who, he said, had “rejected the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission (EEBC) ruling” and had worked toward “regime change in Eritrea to no avail.”

On the Pretoria Agreement, Osman said Eritrea views it as “an internal affair of Ethiopia” and has “no desire to intervene.” Any suggestion that Eritrea is involved in the conflict between the Tigray Interim Administration and the TPLF, he said, is “categorically rejected.”

Osman’s comments come amid heightened tensions between the two countries with former Ethiopian President Mulatu Teshome has accused Eritrea of attempting to “exploit divisions within the TPLF” to weaken the Pretoria Agreement, warning it could “reignite war in northern Ethiopia” and “tear up the whole peace deal.” Eritrea rejected the claim at the time, with Yemane calling it an “audacious claim” meant to “rationalize a war-mongering agenda.”

Last week, Getachew Reda, President of the Tigray Interim Administration, has accused Eritrea of being among those “who think they can benefit from turmoil that will be created in Tigray,” asserting, “I know the Eritrean government is one of them.”

Lt. Gen. Tsadkan Gebretensae, Vice President of the Tigray Interim Administration, has also warned that war between Ethiopia and Eritrea “seems inevitable,” with Tigray at risk of becoming the main battleground.

U.S. Senator James Risch, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, has expressed concern over the situation, warning that renewed conflict in Ethiopia’s north could have “catastrophic consequences.” He called on both Ethiopia and Eritrea to “urgently de-escalate tensions immediately.”

Regarding Ethiopia’s position on sea access, Osman said Eritrea was “perplexed” by what it sees as “misguided and outdated ambitions” to secure maritime access “through diplomacy or military force.” He urged the international community to take action, saying such efforts disregarded “the sovereignty and territorial integrity of neighbors.”

Ukraine Condemns Eritrea for visiting Crimea

During their working visit to Russia, the Eritrean delegation led by Foreign Minister Osman Saleh visited South Ossetia, Crimea and Abkhazia (without the FM and Yemane Gebreab) at the invitation of the Russian Federation. Photo: Eritrean delegation in South Ossetia

Yesterday, Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a press statement protesting the visit of senior Eritrean officials to Crimea which came at the invitation of the Russian Federation. The statement said:

MFA expresses its strong protest to Eritrean side over not approved by Ukraine visit on June 5-6, 2014 of Minister for Foreign Affairs of the State of Eritrea Osman Mohammed Saleh to the temporarily occupied by the Russian Federation the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

Ukraine considers that visit as an unfriendly step, blatant disregard of international law by Eritrean side as well as a flagrant violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and domestic law, of the UN Charter and the UN General Assembly resolution "Territorial integrity of Ukraine" adopted on March 27, 2014, that may have deeply negative effect on further development of Ukrainian - Eritrean relations.

We call on the Eritrean side to respect strictly the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and to comply with the international law.

The irony here is it's Ukraine that seems to be uncomfortable with respecting international law. For many years, successive Kiev administrations have disrespected Eritrea's sovereignty and territorial integrity by supporting the belligerent regime in Ethiopia and turning a blind eye to its occupation of sovereign Eritrean territories.

More concerning, it was Ukraine who sold 200 T-72 tanks worth over US$100 million in one of the largest contracts signed by the country's arms exporter in more than 15 years. This contract was delivered despite extensive protest by the Eritrean Government, and with the knowledge of these weapons were likely going to be used against the Eritrean people.

So it's long overdue that Ukraine looks itself in the mirror when feeling the need to lecture nations about the virtues of adhering to international law.
