Under international law, a country can use force to defend itself, including responding to an invasion in areas outside the immediate territory under attack. This right to self-defense, enshrined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, isn't limited to the defending state's own territory. It can be exercised to prevent or stop acts of violence against the state's emanations, such as embassies and armed forces, even if those are located outside the immediate area of invasion. Furthermore, allies can provide assistance, potentially including military intervention, in response to an invasion.

If Ethiopia invades Assab, Eritrea is entitled to respond in any Ethiopian territories, for example she can invade Gondar etc

Eritrea is not obliged to respond in Assab only.

ASACARI Ye Talian slaves, relax. I don’t think there’s an imminent war on the stolen land.

I'm afraid our country Ethiopia will cease to exist if the UAE uses Ethiopia to invade Eritrea. The UAE will lose its colony, and we will lose our country.

tEritrea is the only colony here. It was colonized by Europeans and savage Arabs. We restored its dignity by making it a true warrior nation. We defeated your masters. Ask the Italians.

While a straight line is mathematically the shortest distance on a flat surface, in real-world scenarios, particularly in complex situations like warfare, indirect routes can sometimes be more effective or lead to more favorable outcomes.
