About the Author
\nProfessor Alemayehu Gebremariam<\/em>, is professor emeritus of political science at California State University and an attorney. He is a frequent commentator on Ethiopian affairs.<\/em><\/p>\n

Access to the Red Sea is an urgent national question with profound existential, economic, and strategic implications for Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

Without direct and permanent sea access, Ethiopia’s long-term development and security interests are placed in extreme danger.<\/p>\n

Access to the sea is not merely a geopolitical consideration, a luxury from which to launch vacation cruise liners or an optional economic convenience. It is Ethiopia’s economic lifeline to the world, its gateway to global commerce and connectivity.<\/p>\n

Access to the sea is itself a ship that will deliver Ethiopia to its promised land of prosperity.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia will continue to pursue secure, reliable, and permanent access to the sea through diplomacy, negotiation, give-and-take, mediation, and every other lawful means available to advance its national interests.<\/p>\n

On October 5, 2026, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed restated his oft-repeated declaration to the Ethiopian Parliament:<\/p>\n

“Since Ethiopian civilization cannot be realized without a sea outlet, we will work diligently on the principle of give-and-take to ensure Ethiopia has an entry and exit port.”<\/p>\n

That is a declaration of a fundamental national interest.<\/p>\n

Ethiopian civilization and sea access are inextricably and eternally connected.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia lost its direct access to the Red Sea in 1993, following Eritrea’s independence.<\/p>\n

Thirty-three years later, the economic burden of a deal between two thieving rebel leaders on 130 million Ethiopians has pushed the issue beyond a point of no return.<\/p>\n

It is now time to face the music!<\/p>\n

Ethiopia can NEVER remain landlocked.<\/p>\n

Nor can Ethiopia’s economic destiny be held hostage to the whims of a one-man dictatorship that has kept its people under lock and key for over three decades.<\/p>\n

It is the height of stupidity to believe that Ethiopia will kneel perpetually at the mercy of a one-man dictatorship whose leader, as a rebel leader, promised a multiparty democratic system and a constitution.<\/p>\n

For over three decades, Isaias has kept Eritrea under totalitarian rule without even implementing its ratified constitution, holding national elections, or establishing an independent legislature, independent media, independent judiciary, meaningful political opposition, or genuinely independent civil society institutions.<\/p>\n

Eritrea, widely dubbed the “North Korea of Africa,” remains a dictatorship internationally criticized for extreme repression, indefinite conscription, forced labor, torture, arbitrary detention, and other serious human-rights abuses.<\/p>\n

An old Chinese proverb warns: “The fire you kindle for your enemy often burns yourself more than them.”<\/p>\n

Those in the trilateral axis who willfully mistake Ethiopia’s restraint for weakness may discover, too late, the difference.<\/p>\n

The trilateral axis should also heed the warning captured in the old spiritual:
\n“God gave Noah the rainbow sign, no more water, the fire next time!”<\/p>\n

What goes around comes around.<\/p>\n

Let there be no misunderstanding: Ethiopia’s determination to secure permanent and reliable access to the Red Sea will not be bogged down in diplomatic rigmarole and gobbledygook, regional pressure, political intimidation and economic sanction.<\/p>\n

It will not be wished away or buried under fatuous declarations designed to exclude Ethiopia from discussions about Red Sea governance and regional maritime security.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is simple: Ethiopia will pursue secure, reliable, and permanent access to the Red Sea through diplomacy, negotiation, give-and-take, mediation, and every lawful avenue available.<\/p>\n

He may find himself presiding (or not presiding) over an Eritrea he never imagined:<\/p>\n

an Eritrea with an implemented constitution, an independent legislature, independent media, an independent judiciary, genuine political opposition, independent institutions of higher education, and vibrant civil society institutions; an Eritrea liberated from forced labor, indefinite conscription, torture, extrajudicial killings, and arbitrary imprisonment.<\/p>\n

An Eritrea in which its people, rather than one man and his security apparatus, determine their country’s destiny.<\/p>\n

A war that a dictator believes will consolidate his power can instead expose the fragility of his rule.<\/p>\n

History has a habit of laughing at men in leadership positions who believe themselves invincible, untouchable, unstoppable and unconquerable.<\/p>\n

Dictators often launch wars and engage in military confrontations believing that a showdown will make them more powerful. They miscalculate.<\/p>\n

They assume that military engagement will rally the people behind them, shut down internal dissent, win the loyalty of military officers, and divert public attention from the oppressive nature of their rule.<\/p>\n

History offers numerous examples of dictators who disastrously miscalculated. Remember Saddam Hussien.<\/p>\n

Isaias Afwerki should think twice before opening a door he may never be able to close. For he may be openinig the gates of hell.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia prefers diplomacy for sea access.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia seeks mutually beneficial arrangements for sea access.<\/p>\n

Ethiopia is prepared to negotiate in good faith for sea access.<\/p>\n

But neither Eritrea nor its patron Egypt should confuse a preference for peace with an acceptance of permanent strategic vulnerability.<\/p>\n
