Since you're a big baby with an IQ of a squirrel, let me take you by the hand and elucidate things for you.
President Isaias Afwerki’s back-to-back visits to Egypt, Port Sudan, and now a four-day official visit to Saudi Arabia are not random diplomacy.
They point to a major realignment taking shape.
Eritrea is being quietly repositioned as a strategic coastal partner in the emerging Red Sea security architecture. Saudi Arabia and Egypt are rebuilding a Red Sea–Gulf of Aden bloc that includes all the literal coastal states except Ethiopia, which is landlocked.
Eritrea’s location overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb makes it too important to ignore, and these visits signal its reintegration into that system.
At the same time, this diplomatic tour comes at a moment when your regime is aggressively pushing its unrealistic “sea access” narrative.
Every country Isaias is visiting Egypt, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia firmly rejects Abiy Ahmed’s rhetoric.
Strengthening ties with them is a subtle message that Eritrea is part of the Red Sea order, while Ethiopia is not.
It also prevents your country from inserting itself into maritime security affairs, where it has no legal or geographic standing.
Sudan is another key piece. With the country fractured by war, Egypt and Saudi Arabia want stable coastal partners who can influence Sudan’s future.
Eritrea has deep historic leverage with Sudanese factions, and these visits show Eritrea securing a role in post-war negotiations and regional stabilization.
There is also a quiet shift away from the UAE, which has aligned more closely with Abiy.
Eritrea leaning toward the Saudi–Egypt camp tilts the balance of Red Sea politics.
In short: A new Red Sea alignment is forming, and Eritrea is positioning itself at the center of it.
These visits are coordinated signals not coincidence, that a major geopolitical reconfiguration is underway.
