Egypt and the Arabs are reaching Ethiopia very fast by using financial and diplomatic pressures to tear down UAE and Ethiopia relations. Ethiopia needs to stick with USA, Israel and UAE camp. This is the winning camp. Ethiopia needs to double its efforts in Sudan by supporting Dagalo RSF to eject Egypt from Sudan.
Arabs are ready to sacrifice Isaias Afewerki by making peace with Ethiopia. The momentum is with Ethiopia, she needs to push on hard on Eritrea and dismantle it. Asab port is very small and useless that can be easily surrounded and attacked by Arabs and their servants in Somalia, Djibouti, Sudan and Eritrea. Ethiopia should demand the entire Eritrean coastline.
Above all, Ethiopia should never negotiate about its Nile river and the dams. This is a redline to cross. If the Arab is not sharing the Suise Canal and the Pyramids, Ethiopia should never be dictated about the Nile river.
Red Sea is not Egyptian property. Ethiopia should not negotiate with Arabs about the sea. It was taken by force, and it should take it back by force of 130 million people.
Re: Egypt is prepared to work with African allies to help secure Ethiopia's access to the Red Sea.
ETHIOPIA never betrays her friends. Ethiopia never crosses her allies. UAE is the friend of Ethiopia. UAE has no hidden intentions on Ethiopia. So is Israel. It is a good things that Egypt changes its paradigm towards Ethiopia. Let Ethiopia become a member of these Red Sea and regional powers. UAE and Israel are friends. Egypt and Israel are friends. So, let Sadudis recognize the state Israel. Let all of these competing powers share the gifts of the region. In fact, invite the great nation of India into the club of the Red sea. This is and must be the policy of Ethiopia. As there is a Nile Commission, there should be the Red sea commission where every nation is safe and sharing power and benefits. Forget imperial and colonial ambitions. The Horn is essentially Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the quintessential free nation, just nation, a nation of Kerta (አስታራቂ የሰው ልጆት እናት)!

Re: Egypt is prepared to work with African allies to help secure Ethiopia's access to the Red Sea.
I am not sure about the authenticity of the report, if it is authentic, then this will be a seismic change of the political landscape of the region. If Isayas Afeworki being thrown under the bus, then this is a normal process of a tool. A tool is held as long as its use is needed. Isayas and his Eritrea were created to suppress Ethiopia, as a tool. Egypt had a strategic interest in it and invested heavily in it. Ethiopia was to be suppressed along many different fronts. Keep her away from the two water bodies (Nile and Red Sea), keep her under developed by preoccupying her with manufactured internal conflicts, among others.Roha wrote: ↑23 Feb 2026, 19:11Egypt and the Arabs are reaching Ethiopia very fast by using financial and diplomatic pressures to tear down UAE and Ethiopia relations.

Ethiopia started to fight back and fight hard, with impressive successes so far.
Ethiopia is demanding a sovereign access to a sea, which is a natural resource of this world. It is about to regain sovereignty and there is no half sovereignty. A sovereign nation chooses its diplomatic relations with others on its free will, Ethiopia shouldn't be an exception. Else the problem is not solved, only shifted.
The use of one's natural resources is a sovereign decision of a sovereign nation. Ethiopia's internal rivers are God given Ethiopia's resources, she can and must be able to decide what to do with them, while keeping the eyes on the regional stability and fairness with others in the region. In this regard Ethiopia can't cut off the flow of her rivers to her neighbors.
The Dam on the Nile is Ethiopia's sovereign resource and she can decide on its operation on herself, without any sort of interference from outside!
Ethiopia should be granted access to the sea without conceding any of her sovereign rights in other areas, else the problem will be not solved, only shifted to a different area.

Re: Egypt is prepared to work with African allies to help secure Ethiopia's access to the Red Sea.
Nothing is new, says a reporter from Cairo itself!The Egyptian offer of a secure sea access for Ethiopia, according to the sources, is linked to revelations last year that Cairo reached agreements to develop ports and associated roads in Djibouti and neighbouring Eritrea to increase pressure on Addis Ababa in future negotiations over the hydroelectric dam.
Egypt wants to own all ports in the Sudan, the failed state of Eritrea, the tiny state of Djibouti and thereby hinder Ethiopia coming closer to the red-sea!
A futile attempt, I think!
Under those agreements, Egypt is upgrading Djibouti's port of Doraleh on the Gulf of Aden and Eritrea's strategic Red Sea port of Assab to increase their capacity, including berths for warships, and the scope to post small but elite military contingents, sources in Cairo told The National at the time.
https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/me ... e-softens/Egypt, according to the sources, is planning to jointly develop Sudan's main commercial port – Port Sudan, on the Red Sea.
Egypt, which has more than 2,000km of Red Sea coastline, has long insisted that the Red Sea must exclusively belong to littoral states; and those who are not cannot have permanent presence on the strategic waterway that links Europe, the Middle East, Asia and East Africa.
