sarcasm,
Eritrea is an entity with a birth defect, it can never attain a normalcy hence after. The last over 35 years is only a testimony to this very fact. The old man can spend all he has but will never be able to straighten what was deformed at birth. The birth of Eritrea has to be revisited, reanalyzed and a meaningful solution should be sought.
Only because the time has elapsed over a long period of time can not legitimize the entity that was born with incurable defect.
He can look for all possible allies in order to conceal what has been there ever since the birth-time of Eritrea, he may also going to win the next or n more battles against us (Ethiopians, next generation Ethiopians), but he can never straighten the defect and have his way.
I think the people of Ethiopia are only waiting until a more suitable time may arrive and go for the restoration of what they have unduly deprived of. The pain of the wound persists.
In the so called Nile water sharing agreement between the two down stream countries of Egypt and Sudan, Ethiopia and the other upstream countries were never been parties to the agreement, it was as such not binding for them. That is why the new Nile Basin Initiative was launched in my view.
The same can be said with regard to the so called Eritrean independence: The Ethiopian people were never asked about their stance on the issue, the "agreement" or "referendum" can never be binding for them.
Let Isayas fight us in Somalia and lose more of his war machinery, that only makes the thereafter coming war against Eritrea proper more easier, if I may guess.
In this way or the other way he will be the loser! He spends all he has got to straighten what was inborn. But will never be successful!
BTW. I am not a warmonger, for I dreadfully hate war, war should be the last option. Those who refuse to the path of peace have already opted for war and war can only be dealt with war. No other option!

Well, that much we have heard already many times. But that alone can't clear the whole set up of what it is in reality: a sham setup orchestrated on the back of the people of Ethiopia by those who didn't have their consent to decide on any issue of their interest, let alone such a strategic decision of relegating Ethiopia to a landlocked country.
Meles Zenawi and his cohorts were never elected into office and didn't have the consent of the people to rule over them. Instead they imposed their will on the people by the force of barrel of the gun. That is unjust anywhere in this world.
That staged sham alone deprives the whole scheme its resemblance of any sort of legality.
The people of Ethiopia didn't have any form of an opportunity to say on the matter of such a national issue like "Eritrean independence", as such a victim of a grand-conspiracy staged on its back. Even the people in Eritrea itself were only asked "if they want freedom or slavery" and now you tell us a referendum was held. We were told later on the people of Eritrea who opted to stay in their mother land were dubbed traitors and sent to concentration camps or even got killed. That much has been known about the "referendum".
It will be never too late to reclaim one's delayed justice!
If you admit to have won your independence from Ethiopia militarily, then Ethiopia has a God given right to reciprocate and win over those who "drove Ethiopian military". You deserve to win militarily in your own words, and what forbids Ethiopia to not retaliate??
Eritrea has been a sovereign country for over 30 years. Reading the aggression and warmongering in your post; what would you do to protect your sovereignty and territorial integrity
if you put yourself in Isaias's shoes? Wouldn't you create regional and international alliances to protect your nation?
Wouldn't you do everything you can to foil the aggressor's plans and capabilities, if you were Eritrean leader?
