Abiy's gambling to secure sea access immediately & at any cost is wrong!
Posted: 06 Sep 2025, 21:03
The war is going to be devastating, companies like Ethiopian Airlines ( which is a global air bridge for Ethiopia) which have been built over decades of hard work will be a target. Abiy should do the following :
- Do whatever is possible to bring TPLF at least to stay neutral ( actually Tigray has no appetite to be involved on Abiy-Isaias war )
- Negotiate with FANO & OLA to address their issues
- Avoid the war by any means by involving the super powers & offering Egypt & Sudan to jointly build & Sudan damas in the Abay Gorge, Tekese & Baro rivers with the objective of building water bank in Ethiopia which could be shared with Sudan & Egypt. Actually this approach will help both Egypt & Sudan to get more water per year than what they are getting today.
- Obtaining sea access at any cost is a wrong strategy. Ethiopia should wait for the right time. In the mean time it is better to invest on multiple Sea ports under commercial arrangement like in Somalia ( Somalia land , Punt Land etc), in Eritrea & Sudan.
