Two well-known American Political Scientists said....

"...Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's administration is essentially standing on the ruins of a state fractured along ethnic, regional and ideological lines. The center cannot hold because they just haven't done the work of building internal unity...... and all this Red Sea talk isn't really directed outward at Eritrea, it is inward at the Ethiopian people as a tactic, a way to rally support, or more likely to distract a very restless population..... it's essentially a political theater designed to hide a failing state.... "

"The Red Sea talk is about Ethiopia's internal politics..... and this obsession with the Red Sea isn't genuine, it's a distraction, papering over the cracks of the state that is fracturing from within.... A desperate distraction from an internal collapse."
