Are Eritreans ready for this ?
Sovereign states make political and economic choices in terms of the levels of integration they would want to have with other sovereign states. Countries that have integrated regionally benefit from growth spillovers, larger markets, and scale economies in production benefiting producers, investors, and consumers
Ethiopia is the Horn of Africa's key player thanks in part to its growing economy and a population of over 100 million. But it is also concerned at its lack of sea access. Eritrea gained its independence in1991 and Ethiopia lost her seacoast and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) government immediately closed the country's Navy. Since then, Ethiopia had no reason to reexamine its choice, but now times are changing and Prime Minister Abiy has his own concept on the maritime security of the Horn.
Let them do whatever . But, I don't want to see a former enemy state of the art battle ship parked around the coast lines of Eritrea. It is too early for that. When the leaders were talking about common enemy, I thought they were talking about TPLF
I was excited to see the ousting of TPLF out of Badme
That would be a holy thing to do. Is it coincidence that Lemma had to fly to Asmara in time for the meeting then fly to France for the inauguration of the modern Ethiopian NAVY ?
