Does Eritrea recognizes the sovereignty of others before crying for its own sovereignty ?
Does Eritrea respect Ethiopia's sovereignty specifically and can it prove its stand in this regard?
Eritrea has violated the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all its neighbors at one or the other time in its history of over 35 years.
By General Bacha Debele, AmbassadorEthiopia, despite historical grievance, has consistently upheld the principles of sovereignty and peaceful coexistence. It harbors no intent to violate its territorial integrity – particularly over territories it recognises as legitimately obtained by Eritrea, not just maintained. Yet such respect for sovereignty has never been reciprocated by Eritrea. Now therefore, accountability should no longer be optional; it has become a strategic necessity. President Isaias Afwerki cannot continue to recklessly undermine the sovereignty of Ethiopia and its neighbours through the orchestration and arming of insurgent groups, the facilitation of illicit trafficking in persons and weapons, and the conduct of transnational financial crimes. Such actions stand in direct contradiction to the principles of sovereignty he so often invokes. In reality, it is President Isaias himself who has eroded Eritrea’s sovereignty – through policies that isolate the nation, compromise its legitimacy, and subject its people to perpetual hardship.
