Redwan Hussien, a flip flopper, house nigg@ from Silte (haters of Gurage and Orthodox Christians/Amhara) while serving TPLF stated Ethiopia needs no port of its own or Assab. This was to follow the footsteps of the dead-man in hell, Melese Zenawi who infamously said Eritreans can use Assab port to drink their camels.
Most recently, Redwan Hussien, reversed his previous dogma because this time he has to follow the footsteps of Oromo Ethno-fascists. He said Ethiopian port issue should have been resolved by Menelik, that is to appease his Oromo extremist masters who hate Menelik to their bones. He did not want to criticize Meles Zenawi, who easily gave away Assab, who hailed from Tigre because Oromo ethno-fascists are coaxing Tigre now for another war to appease their hate for Eritreans and Amhara. He did not want to criticize Mengistu who had small opportunity to negotiate Djibouti with France. It is all hate and hate politics of Abiy Ahmad and Oromo extremists.

The most obvious reason why the OPDO/PP gangs port desire is to again divert attention from their ongoing defeat as well as to PROCURE MODERN WAR EQUIPMENTS TO KILL ETHIOPIANS SPECIALLY AMHAR and subdue opposition as long as they can. Remember Abiy was heard saying Amhara should never get political power in 100 years? For long term oppression they need war machine in clandestine way which will be feasible only through own port. You cannot buy and transport modern military machines through another country's ports that easily for security reason.
PORT IS NOT A TIMELY NEED FOR ETHIOPIA. FIRST SHOULD BE STABILITY SECUIRITY LAW UNITY AND DISMANTLING ETHNOFASCISM.
See below what happened when the OPDO/PP gangs and their slaves wanted to procure war machine through red sea enroute to Dubai from Azerbaijan. Remember Ethiopia did not have ports for 30 years, but they said was growing renting other ports!

In November 2024, three Azerbaijani-flagged vessels—CMS Pahlavan, CMS İgid, and CMS-3—were detained by Eritrean authorities after entering Eritrean territorial waters due to adverse weather conditions. The ships were en route from Baku to Abu Dhabi via the Suez Canal when they sought refuge in Eritrean waters. The Eritrean Ministry of Information stated that the vessels were detained for illegal entry and were being inspected, but did not specify the nature of their cargo.

Subsequent reports revealed that the detained ships were carrying firearms intended for delivery to Ethiopia.
