  1. As an Ethiopian, I want to tell you that the Ethiopian government wants to reconquer Eritrea, or any nearby coastal country. IDK, but in the last week, our whole media is just talking about our "legitimate right for sea border" and today there was a minor military parade accompanied by the PM, I just expect the Ethiopian government to start a new war soon, and we're sick of wars honestly. This is a new ambition of this prime minister, along with his extravagant palace project and land confiscations programs Edit: I'd like to reunite with Eritrea, almost our everything is similar, food, culture, language, clothes, traditions, economics, etc... But I'm skeptical about a war, especially with the fact that the Eritrean government will force its all population to war, that'd be a major humanitarian catastrophe

  2.  @socialistrepublicofvietnam1500  ola is falling, fano is being negotiated with, and we can see things like confiscations being eased, Oromia region has pledged to recover all harmed or displaced amhara civilians back, so I think the PM is trying to unite the nation against a common goal, the same way we were united few years ago on the goals of the Dam, TPLF civil war, popular election of Abiy, ending somali isis insurgency, and now it might be a time for a cross border war. But it's still considered a secret for the Ethiopian government, but like most Ethiopians at least in Addis Ababa have noticed the trends, and we're expecting either a diplomatic victory, or a war we wish we never get stuck in

  3.  @serpentnightrevival1151  no, but because the government wants to strengthen its power. Eritrea can be strong with conscription and military spending, but also with things they don't have like free trades, low government interventions, lower taxes, more freedom of speech, more private education, more open to tourists, etc... I'm sure all these restrictions cannot be because of Ethiopia that was already defeated

  5.  @poetryflynn3712  no, not a bad one at least, it seems like it's going to end by mix of persuasion and subversion

  7.  @ZombiePepperoni  it depends on what "handle" means We hopefully won't collapse as Ethiopia, but we'll probably sink in sanctions and military expenditures, that'll have a long term impact, but if we won, the long term impact would just be positive. Eritreans would be in a bigger and freer market (Eritrea has only 5 million people, Ethiopia has 120 million, and Eritrea's economy is absurdly restricted by government), and Ethiopia will own a sea outlet (imagine a country of 120 million people having access to sea for the first time in decades), so it's very likely an economic boom would follow. But all this only incase Ethiopia won the war

  9.  @RomanLavandos  seriously, we don't have issues invading Djibouti or somaliland, we can pacify foreign nations by giving them more privileges, we're stronger anyways and once we take it, we won't leave it Somaliland if invaded, it would integrate with the Ethiopian somali region and be administered by them, so we have Somalis and we'll just finance them, and we might even some of our population go and settle in somaliland, but without infringing any right of any somali But the reason our government would choose Eritrea is because Eritreans are actual Ethiopians, at least according to most Ethiopians, and invading Eritrea is as legitimate as setting down a major rebellion Ethiopia and Eritrea together are called Abyssinia

  10.  @XYZ_Vu  yeah, luckily we made an agreement with somaliland

  11. Not funny how you consider any truth that goes against your interests as a universally bad thing. You created and own the UN, even the UN security council refused ceasefire because of US' veto, and then you act like UN was formed in Damascus for example?!

  12.  @rotarydude9737  the Emperor made a huge mistake when he ended the federal system in Eritrea, otherwise Eritrea would've been an Ethiopian region today

  13.  @kewintaylor7056  thank you for your care, as you said that you know nothing about Ethiopia Ethiopia is a country with 120 million people, and it has no sea access, we are land locked, so having a sea outlet would ease our development Plus, this is not a matter of wealth, this is a matter of nationalism. Eritrea is an integral part of historic Ethiopia, and Ethiopia is an incomplete state without Eritrea according to many Ethiopians, especially nationalists, as they say, Eritrea should be part of Ethiopia, have representatives in the Ethiopian parliament, and be given the right for Ethiopian nationality
