Eritrea: The Curse of the Red Sea

By Dawit Mesfin, London 17 Mar 2025

We Eritreans paid a heavy price to secure possession of the coast along the Red Sea. Simply stated, we fought and died for it. But the end result turned out to be a disaster. The Red Sea is rendered useless for it fell in the hands of a man who is driven by paranoid nationalism.

We thought, rather naively, the sea was going to be our ticket to a bright and shining future. Yes, we thought it was going to wash our troubles away by opening lucrative opportunities, attract businesses from the region to boost our way of life. Now those dreams are simply done with, to put it lightly. And I can say, based on the little return of our costly ports we have all witnessed, I have grounds to argue that the Red Sea is dead as far as Eritrea is concerned.

Why was such huge effort expended for so little gain? Speaking truth to power, it is to do with the regime’s lack of adequate business acumen, and a Weltanschauung that is unremittingly negative. ...
