Four Reasons Why Ethiopia Wont Go to War Against Eritrea
A lot of discussion has gone on in the cyberspace after Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn conducted an interview in which he warns that Ethiopia's policy has shifted towards Eritrea, and threatened his country is now determined to unseat Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki by force.
But as Fikrejesus Amahazion pointed out in a recent article, this new shift in policy isn't new at all. In March of 2011, while speaking to journalists at a press conference in Addis Ababa, the late Ethiopian dictator Meles Zenawi announced his 'new' shift in policy towards Eritrea, as well:
“We will work towards changing Eritrea's policies or its government. This could be done diplomatically, politically or through other means." He clearly implied war.
Eritreans know every few years or so, the belligerent regime in Addis Ababa beats the drums of war by making announcements claiming they have shifted their policy towards Eritrea. Since signing the Algiers Agreement in 2000, this predictable saber rattling has been a mainstay of Addis Ababa's policy towards Asmara.
In reality, however, Ethiopia's reckless policy has changed very little since signing the agreement. It's policy has been to train, arm and fund numerous terrorists groups to destabilize Eritrea, including al-Qaeda-linked groups such as the Eritrean Islamic Jihad Movement and the Red Sea Afar Democratic Organisation, the later being a purely Ethopian created terrorist group that seeks to give the Ethiopian regime access to Eritrea's Red Sea coast.
Ethiopia's latest bravado shouldn't be treated any differently than the usual saber rattling. After all, most of us know from experience that when a person warns someone they will fight them, that usually implies he or she doesn't want to fight at all. People who really want to harm someone wouldn't give the element of surprise away to their foes. Only the ones that desperately don't want to fight threaten others that they will fight. In poker, it's called bluffing. Among warring countries, it's called psychological warfare.
Since many people are giving their opinions on why Ethiopia will go to war with Eritrea, here are four reasons why Ethiopia wont go to war with Eritrea:
- Ethiopian forces are stretched thin. According to TheReporterEthiopia, a regime affiliated website, Ethiopia has deployed over 10,000 soldiers in various countries including 4,200 troops to the Abiye region of Sudan, 4,000 soldiers in Somalia, and thousands in South Darfur under the auspices of a UNAMID peacekeeping mission. This figure is not including the tens of thousands of Ethiopian soldiers permanently stationed in the Ogaden, and Southern Ethiopia due to rebel activities from Ogaden National Liberation Front and Oromo Liberation Front. So even if it wanted to, Ethiopia does not have (at present) the man power to sustain a war against Eritrea.
- Any invading military needs to pay its men to risk their lives to fight. Even Syrian jihadists, who profess they are fighting for their God, are being payed monthly wages by Saudi Arabia and Qatar to fight the Syrian regime. Unfortunately for Ethiopia, it does not have rich Gulf states to back their adventurism into Eritrea. Any war against Eritrea will have to come out of their aid budget from the West, which accounts for over 90% of the regime's annual budget. Adding to its financial woes, Ethiopia is also committed to spending 4.8 billion dollars on the Renaissance Dam's construction, which has been taking much of it's annual budget over the years, and leading to their soldiers not receiving wages for months on end.
- Ethiopia going to war with Eritrea will ultimately bring Egypt into the conflict to some degree. In fact, there are reports indicating Egypt is seeking a military defense pact with Eritrea. In the current Ethiopian-Egyptian tension over the controversial Renaissance Dam, the Egyptians are probably hoping the Ethiopian regime attacks Eritrea so they can use the attack as a pretext to deliver surgical airstrikes to destroy the dam and Ethiopian air force bases.
- Ethiopian military is in bad shape, even by African standards. Over the last year alone, thousands of Ethiopian troops have defected to Eritrea, including five Ethiopian air force pilots. The Ethiopian military also lacks the discipline, skills or the will to wage war against Eritrea. Keep in mind, this is a demoralized Ethiopian military that's fresh off of a defeat in Somalia, in which one CNN anchorwoman described as, "Ethiopia left with their tails between their legs." This is also an Ethiopian military that can't even defeat rag-tag rebel groups such as the ONLF and OLF within its own border. So it's capacity to win a bloody, costly and protracted war against a larger and much formidable Eritrean military is out of the question.

Let's be honest you bring the above from empty pocket to scare the Ethiopian regime but in the other hand you are given silver bullet to TPLF... what I mean is that will encourage Ethiopians to fight for TPLF :)
"Every battle is won or lost before it is ever fought." -Sun Tsu, The Art of War.
ReplyDeleteIn our case, Eritrea is the winner.
You left out something very important in this equation. What if somebody gave ethiopia money to start a war?
ReplyDeleteLook at ethiopias national debt before the border war, before the Somali invasion and you will notice how their national debt always gets lowered after the wars.
The only reason why TPLF is dangerous is because everybody knows that they will do everything for power. I don't fear Tplf. I fear what America will order TPLF do from ethiopian soil to damage eritrea. Why else would they give ethiopia aid and cover all their expenses, if not for control?
Every body knows that the recent "akaki zeraf" of the loud speaker hammam mariam is just a fear squeel! After all we do have a saying in tigrigna that goes something like 'ferah si aserte betru' , so let them holler & squeel all they want . We just need to be focused in our defence & QUITELY sketch a permanent solution to shut the goons once & FOR GOOD, I: e capture the entire tigray & it's the end of WOYANE with no supporters, they will run like adgi mariam in zimbabwe.
ReplyDeleteThey want to install a 'puppet' in asmara, we give them just THAT, but in their home! OR ...
Lately the term assab & access ,bla bla bla is being thrown around loosely even by the so called oppositions from our land, SO i say we give them a few kilometers wide opening to the sea to add to their MAP & we ADD the entire TIGRAY to ours ,afterall that is what the AGAMES want (to be equall with eritreans) & problem is solved! But they can keep adwa, that is where all the trouble makers are bred!
Nah, i diagree with you.
ReplyDeleteEthiopians have never hungryier in their life time like they are right now for freedom .Muchless AL-egypt, they will take issis, boko harram,alquida, al shebab, whatver kinda 'AL' you can think of they will take so long as it gets rid of woyane.they can be heard openly saying "go ahead & susceed, to the agames just to breath again ! :)
Eritrea wants no part of Ethiopia. Ethiopia can use Eritrea's ports free of charge provided they they vacate from sovereign Eritrean territories.
ReplyDeleteEthiopia won't go to war with eritrea because it is a waste of time and money. Wedi afom is killing the nation on his own. Give it 15 years and eritrea's govt will fall apart by itself. 90% of ethiopias budget is from us? Where is this statistic. Cite your sourses. You sound like kelbi barking gibberish
ReplyDeleteLook at this picture.... that's how we kick ass !!!! ...and they know it !!!!
ReplyDeleteAye ajewjew!!! While the mafia group in Eritrea has been destroying our military capabilities including its manpower (Arresting brilliant pilots like Dejen, Habtetsion Hadgu...) the weyanne junta has been expanding its air force unit, military personnel and have equipped their defense with latest military equipments. Our army is purely armed with old military instruments mainly captured during our armed struggle and our air force is nonexistent. I was in the army and what we have is a nominal defence forces and the sad part is the weyanne junta knows everything. And that is due to the fact that while the mafia group pfdj is concentrated in expanding the worthless festivals and dances all over the world, the weyanne junta was arming from its toe to nose.
ReplyDeleteMay god protect our country from the mafia group called pfdj and weyanne aggression.

ReplyDeleteWedi keren,
ReplyDeleteWell said!!! We know deep inside our military and like you said the weyanna has all they need including intelligence inside Eritrea. When I escaped the endless slavery in Eritrea I met an Ethiopian from Tigray who used to live in Eritrea and become an intelligence officer and what he told me really shocked me. What he told me is that they even know which unit leader is on leave of absence, vacation, sick, frozen.....halay melay degefti higdef kea they still talking childish.
It shows eritreans can not fight ethiopia but they are waiting Egyptians to do for them,
ReplyDeleteEritreans will never devrloped, they will continue to be usless . Look what they are saying Egypt will vome to support them because ofvthe Dam,.
When a floosh person is near you you never have succes, to make understand eritreans it will tske 1000 years .
Considering Ethiopia relies on U.S. logistics, funding (aid), training (U.S. military trains Ethiopian soldiers) and sanctioning Eritrea on your behalf, most rational people would conclude it is Ethiopia that deeply relies on the U.S. to face Eritrea.
ReplyDeleteFYI, statistically speaking, Eritrea is well ahead of Ethiopia in just about every important socio-economic indicator.
It seems you are completely detached from reality. Thousands of Ethiopian troops have defected to Eritrea this year alone. In previous years, even an Ethiopian General and his trusted colonels, along with 350 soldiers defected to Eritrea, too. What's alarming about Ethiopia's high profile military defections is they are not conscripts ---they are people who willingly signed up to the military to earn a paycheck. So for these soldiers to defect to Eritrea in such large numbers is a strong inkling of the deteriorating situation in Ethiopia's armed military.
ReplyDelete"In 2006, over 300 Ethiopian troops, including Brigadier General Kemal Gelchu, along with his trusted colonels, defected to Eritrea."

I totally agree with you Madote. I would like to add my own ...
ReplyDeleteTop Ten (10) reason why woyane won’t go to war against Eritrea
10. 2014 TPLF Millionaires have much to lose than 1998 TPLF shiftas
9. Ukrainian Pilots are busy fighting their East Ukrainians/Putin
8. They don’t want to interrupt the Ethiopian 18% economic growth :)
7. Thanks to wikileaks, E. African countries have come to know woyane lie-machine
6. TPLF won’t do any suicide mission against Eritrean EDF since they know the Ethiopian oppositions are waiting for an opportune time to evict woyane out of Oromo and Amhara land.
5. Oromo & Amhara today are smarter than in 1998 and won’t
be their Fenjji Regach (minesweepers)
4. Flashbacks of 1998-2000 battles in Tsorona, Alitena, & Assab
3. Ethiopian "honest" General Tsadkan is still alive to advise the Abay Tigray dreamers to keep just Adwa
2. Not just Eritrean army, Every Eritrean has AK47 to defend The Land,
.....And the number one, numero uno, Andegna Ku'Tr, Kutsri Hade is:
1. The dream of “Greater Tigray” died with H.E. Frog, aka Prime Minister Meles Zenawi
Just to add to that , 5 airforce pilots are in eritrea this year ALONE, & this agame has the audacity :)
ReplyDelete1) It's not Ato Desalegn's place to remove IA from office as that is
ReplyDeletesomething only the people of Eritrean may do.
2) We Eritreans should be aware that the incompetent TPLF regime in
Addis uses war against Eritrea to distract, confuse and thus unite the
divided and justifiably imbittered people of Ethiopia.
3) Eritrea must stop the using the language of machismo and jahra
against the regime in Addis, this type of language alone is part
and parcel of the cause to all our troubles.
May the spirit of peace, wisdom and prosperity reign forevermore in
The Horn.
Awet n'Hafash!
What do u mean let Ethiopia use our ports free of charge? That sounds like a victim giving up a legal fight that u have won already. Badme belongs to Eritrea & the sea access belongs to us. The right solution is sooner or later Ethiopia must vacate Eritrean territory. On access to the sea we must charge for services of our ports. It is an important asset of the Eritrean people. I believe we should not charge them high rates like Djibouti is currently doing, because that is there right to charge whatever u like for services u provide. It would be a show of good neighborly kindness for Eritrea to charge Ethiopia a reasonable amount for access to the sea. To simply give them free access because they vacate from our territories after more then a decade of occupation & countless conspiracies, sanctions,etc... is just plain foolish.
ReplyDeleteBut
ReplyDelete1) I really don't want those Qomal QomaTas living next to me all over again.
2) Adgi who? Adgi Mariam? Kirkirkir weriduwa Mariam...
Owiiii!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFree of charge? Are you out of your mind Madote?
I happen to want access to some of that 650 gazzillion
dollars of aid being thrown at my lemani neighbour.
Plus those Ethiopian truck drivers are going to driving
through my country speading HIV and STDs, so Ima need
medication and that'll cost.
Owiiii!!!!!

As for the point about Egypt, it suffices to use the maxim
ReplyDelete"Don't count your eggs before they're hatched"
NO to WAR!
Why would Egyptians come to our aid when they themselves
have a post-revolution crisis of their own to take care of?
Funny eirtreans..ethiopia has many diaspora ..easy to get $$$ and many ortodox nations will help including Russia and eu ,our brothers Israelis will help too and usa,eu ...wow £thiopia ain't nothing to fuck with!!! So Look nigers Somalia (sidbare) started war against ortodox nation and he got killed like street dog ,mossoloni disrespect et then got kills by our ortodox brothers ,ur boss gadafi got kills like pussy niga ,we Tplf are ready to destroy u and ur DIA so let's do it !!
ReplyDeleteFrom 1991-1998, Eritrea did not charge Ethiopia for the use of its ports. Once a new regime is put in place in Ethiopia that respects international law and Eritrea's sovereignty, Eritrea will probably go back to its policy of providing free port access to its landlocked neighbor.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wasting time to this analysis, What Ethiopian PM may said it just for seek of election to 2015, or just to create fear to Eritrean people as a result to stick with the Eritrean dictator. Because in practice, Issaias is doing what Ethiopian government supposed to do which is weakening Eritrea people and its defence capability.
ReplyDeleteThis time Ethiopian regime and some extremist Ethiopians are enjoying the Eritrean peoples misery and self distractions.
Ethiopia won't go to war with Eritrea because Eritrea is narcotizing by it self, so if Eritrea is dying by itself why Ethiopian regime wastes its time and money even though Ethiopian regime doesn't care about Ethiopian youth as we know from the past war. Issaias and his criminals group are killing the nation on their own. I hope not but if there is no change within the coming 2 years, the Eritrean govt and the nation will fall apart by itself.
Question to the writer, Where did you get those statistics? For example like 90% of Ethiopia's budget is from us, Ethiopian forces are stretched thin, and mentioned less than 20,000 personals but compared to Ethiopian population it is insignificant. By the way, those you mentioned mercenaries are "cash caw" to Ethiopian government by getting paid by UNAMID or US. Above all, you need to Cite your sources. You sound like trying to mislead us with this cheap analysis. And when you make a conclusion you should compare both countries weak and strong side.
Poor argument!
ReplyDeleteI think you didn't know the real situation in East Africa especially in Ethiopia. let me give you some hints
1- for the last 23 years Somalia was failed state but Ethiopia leading mission changes all thing in today's Somalia. That was Ethiopia national interest when our neighbor countries get peace our country also benefited.
2- UN/AU/IGAD/other international institution choose Ethiopia Army for a peace keeper in many countries that was not come as accidentally. It was hard work in the country moderns army standards.
3- Ethiopian people didn't want any war with any other country the foreign policy of the country live with other country in peace,development and win win strategy. where as when foreign invaders come Ethiopians gave appropriate answer for invaders and keep the country sovereignty.
4. Finally Ethiopia main enemy is poverty so we want to apply our resources to eradicate it but if any country try to touch the country's land the army take immediate action. That is why Eritrea couldn't start war at Ethiopia face to face rather proxy war in Somalia by assist Alqaida linked Alshabab group for this Eritrea punished by world community.
There fore don't worry Ethiopia don't start war with Eritrea unless and otherwise Eritrea try to touch our sovereign land Bademe.
Even if Asab is Ethiopia part Meles gave you ..... any way for now we don't want, just drink your camel.
ReplyDeletewho are you to speak on behave of Eritrean People. why the hell would we want ethiopia to use our Port for free. they can use the djbouti port as long as they want. There are many countries emerging and we could lease the port to the highest bidder for our peoples benefit.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ermias. idk why Madote is spreading this kind of ideas. they will vacate our land, its just a matter of time. But as far as using our ports for free, that's treason. if we get to that point with them, they will have to pay for port services like any landlocked does.
ReplyDeletewow i wonder how Eritreans manage to become Independent with all those nations helping you. Truth is you ain't got the leaders that deliver. poor you, you sons and grandsons with be saying the same thing you're saying.
ReplyDelete"Eritrea's main focus on the use of Assab will no longer be to serve Ethiopia. The plan is to develop Assab port as a transit and duty free port, where ships exchange their cargos and receive services and supplies. The very strategic location of Assab, being at the busiest maritime route, and at the gate of the Red sea and Indian ocean, makes it favorable to use it as a transit port. Though this needs heavy investment, with dedication and hardworking, we will be there." --Gash
ReplyDeleteSHAMELESS SLAVE IS HERE TO PRIDE HIMSELF OF HIS MORALLESS AGAZI NATURE LOL LOL
ReplyDeleteEgypt couldn't attack The Renaissance Dam from Eritrea b/c not only the difrence of distance b/n dam and Eritrea over thousand km but also The strength of Ethiopia Air Force. Whereas if Eritrea try to cooperate with Egypt to distabilize Ethiopia, Ethiopian Air Force can attack Asmara and all Eritrea territories. For evidence It was seen by 1998-2000 boarder war Ethiopia Air Force destroy Asmara Airport, Sawa military training center and Eritrea Air Defense bases.
ReplyDeleteI think all of these bluffing is coming just before the elections to divert attention. Everyone has figured out the liar TPLF. The enemies they have are enough to destroy them. Just in case there is need to defend our country, Eritrea is ready. With Russia in Eritrea, USA is no longer a threat.
ReplyDeleteThe main reason why Agames will not or can't go to war with Eritrea is because it will be the end of Agame rule in Ethiopia! It will be the end of Agame rule! Guaranteed.
ReplyDeleteThank You. Your response is greatly appreciated. Have a good night, Nebsi.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I am concerned , there is only ONE reason why Ethiopia will not start another war...Because they know they always loose fighting against Eritrea.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely right Ermias....why then we've waited all this time? As for the threat of war, i do agree with Madote, but we always need to watch up...we've seen in it in the past...they don't care of their people/soldier...they can bring as much Fenji Regaj as they want...Human life has no value for the leaders of Ethiopia.
ReplyDelete12 Eritrean soldiers with their weapons escape to Yemen (Adoulis)
ReplyDeletethe plan was said 7 years ago????/ and what happen to the mass construction for both ports and free zones why its freezing????
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr37A3_b3fY
YOU WROTE: "FYI, statistically speaking, Eritrea is well ahead of Ethiopia in just about every important socio-economic indicator"
ReplyDeleteYeb, it just a mystery for you and your readers, why our familiy members and friends leaving our beloved country eritrea in mass
you should stoping to compare eritrea to ethiopia. its just stupid. foccus on our intern problem and name it.

The fact that you and your admins fade out this news, speak for itself
Sun of a bitch, what about one and half million ethiopians escaped to yemen, rotten-tamato, alen was the name of a nazi soldier
ReplyDeleteduring the second WWII, he was a sergeant. how is it.
So Weyane airfarce can reach from its base in Ethiopia to Eritrea, but Egyption airforce can't reach Ethiopia from an Eritrean base? Yeah, that make sense kkkkkkk
ReplyDeleteYou see this stupid called agazi, for your knowledge Ethiopia
ReplyDeleteis devided for chritians/moslems, 65% of ethiopia's are Moslems
open your mind "QMALAM"
Al this empty threat is symptom of weyane insecurity and pyscopatic mindset.
ReplyDeleteHEY semere, NATNA AY'NHBN ZEY'NATNA AYNDELN so don't nonsense.
ReplyDeleteSo Mr. or Ms. Habesha you are saying you do not trust your leader or what he said on his interview in Washington? make up your mind.
ReplyDeleteKkkkkk u must be stupid ..ethiopia is the largest cristian nation in the world ..and almost 70 million people are cristiain..and ethio Muslims are the most modren people so they will kick your ass too ..

ReplyDeleteDehan Madote, dehaaan.
ReplyDeleteYou let all sorts of half-baked, half-literate warmongers comment
but my comments get deleted, mish do?
Heray deHAN!
According to your opinion, does this mean that, Ethiopia would do what ever it wants to do in a bit, had it not bin for the Ogaden, ONLF, Egypt and other Ethiopian factors?
ReplyDeleteIt seems that you are admitting that the Ethiopian force could do what the Prime Minister has said earlier this month had it not be for the four points you said. The bigger picture that you undermined, you took out from the equation is the Eritrean Defense Force and the Eritrean people.
It already shows that you are looking for other factors to survive the attack if it is going to happen. Very Bad.
S'up madote, do u get hacked or something LOL.. with all due respect *MADOTE* we Eritreans, we will never ever give our ports services for free especially for woy'ane. unless if its for emergency Aid for innocent people. So u have to delete this free services from ur mind, b/c Nothing is FREE........!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you think you know *SHAEBIA*, you have NO idea.!!!.....
ReplyDeleteAre you sure? lemani but still you are beggars,
ReplyDelete13 miilion ethiopians are in dire femine. the Rome
based FAO has confirmed in August, 2014.
You sound confused. remember you were suppose to be an independent nation, what happened? Thanks to Warsay warriors that dream is burried along side your great man meles. What is next for tigray people?
ReplyDeleteYour comment made me faint seriously! Madote. Ethiopia to use Eritrea port for free of charge I wouldn't want them to use our ports even if they pay more then what there paying Djibouti. Never ever allow Ethiopia in Eritrea never ever allow them to use any ports never ever allow them to step in Eritrea.
ReplyDeleteAlec, for the record there are two shaebias. E.P.L.F, which lead by Eritrean heroes and heroines whom most of them have been killed or detailed by the mafia group called PFDJ (People's Front for Destruction and Jailing) and the second one is the mafia group called PFDJ which has destroyed our culture, economy, military and hope.
ReplyDeleteThe main difference between the two is that the later is lawless, heinous, hideous and cruel.
Typical abyssian, akaki zeraf on empty :)
ReplyDelete1/2 airforce in uganda 1/2 in eritrea, they RUNAWaY dude !
Shame to be ethiopan specially AGAME
YYYYUUUUUCCCCKKKK !!!
"When I escaped the endless slavery in Eritrea . . ."
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I do not think you are Eritrean. If you are, they have all "the information" because people like you gave them in order to get away free!
thanks but we don't want your port. but if you want to give as a fever for as try to own a good government who care about Eritreans.
ReplyDeleteLol try to own a government who cares about its people??? Look at your Ethiopian government left your people to die and starve and force you to a war of suicide and Note no one offered you a port you idiot it's just Madote who said it not the government of Eritrea. We will never give you a sand of Eritrea and be careful what you say cause there will be more like PIA
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha Agame... kemti eta hbey mrkab ms abeya ati weiny dey mexix eu z'beleto , beka kem'.a konka. LOL hahahahahaha......
ReplyDeleteTwo shaebias. LOL...hahaha... maybe to woy'anes b/c *WE ERITREANS* we only know one.
ReplyDelete***Do you think you know *SHAEBIA*, you have NO idea.!!!***
Madote,
ReplyDeleteI do not think you get the point. Eritrea never gave Ethiopia free access. There is always fees linked to the services and products.
However, I can help you saying this. We never asked hard currency to componsate the services rendered. They use to pay in Birr and it was okay as we used the Birr to buy goods (consumable) from Ethiopia.
The bottom line though as stated by President Issayas in one of his Q & A with a jounalist "Ethiopia can choose any port among the neighboring countries. It is to the benefit of Ethiopia to have many choices" among others Djibouti, Barbara, Mombasa, Port Sudan and Eritrean ports of Massawa and Assab.
Free no way and will not be dreamed.
check where and what the agazean were and i will shock you with some truth who they were and are.
ReplyDeletehistory? good,,
HOW and WHY TIGRAYANS BECAME KNOWN AS BEGGARS
ReplyDeleteIn Tigray, begging is a legitimate profession. It's just like any other profession. When people ask you what you do for a living, you can say "I am a beggar" or "Lemine iye Zinebir." And people will not think anything of it. Just like somebody would answer "I am a nurse or a teacher or a police officer" Tigrayans do say "I am a beggar." It is seen as a legitimate and clever way of making a living.
In Asmara, Tigrayans were famous for begging in order to avoid breaking a dollar. I am serious! Honest to God this is true. They used to say, "Intay gedisuni. Lemine Zeydirer iye kab Kirshi Zeshirif." They would prefer to stand in a corner and beg because they didn't want to break a dollar.
Stupid Askari ..Abyssinia Means ethiopia ,ethiopia means Abyssinia ...did u just say ethiopia is less than 100 years old ??kkk Ayeeee Askari ..we Et are diffrent from your slave azz Askari and don't talk about Axum or any shit mofucker ..red ,yellow,green has been their almost for 2000 years but you slave ass Askari don't know that ...Et food stayle ,telaa,Teji,et music,masenko,kerare,washtent, blongs to ethiopia .not Askari land sing -a-poor ...even lalibela is older than many country..stupid ethiopia is also the first muslim country in Africa
ReplyDeleteDenkoro kizenam.
ReplyDeleteBademe is Ethiopian sovereign land? Kikikiki .... Listen, you are not getting out of Bademe because the US told you not to. You will leave when the right time comes. Denkoro ahya. Why don't you learn how to right in English first.
ReplyDeleteYou mean Meles Chenawi?
ReplyDeleteGo to the middle east if you belong to that area, shachallo.
ReplyDeleteor if you know david matas apply to his office.
"If you want to give us a fever"? Ha ha ha .... Yes we will give you a FEVER soon!!!
ReplyDeleteAlec, free port does not mean you don't pay for port services. Payment or fees for port services (wedeb agelgelot) is always there whether it's a free port or not. Ethiopia enjoyed Eritrean ports as free ports from 1991 - 1998.
ReplyDeleteSo what does free port mean? To answer this, let me use an example:
Let's say you shipped a car to Eritrea. By the time the car gets to the port, you will need to pay both for port services and, of course, the necessary tax for the value of the car in order for the car to be released to you. However, if you ship a car to Ethiopia through one of the Eritrean ports, you will pay only for the port services. You will pay the tax on the value of the car to the Ethiopian government. You will not pay the tax twice! That is what free port essentially is. So port service fee is always there whether it is your own port or somebody else's. Also, Ethiopia can enjoy an extremely low port service fee rates depending on its relationship with its neighbors.
A strong defence is no longer a defence at all, hence you take their shit & give it back after you accomplish/ send a clear message & make them feel like they won something! Now THAt IS THE NEW STRONG DEFENCE OF OUR TIME !
ReplyDeleteThat's my point, you have yours bro.other than that i really don have any delusions of adding the illiterate,inferior, barefoots to the highly educated (david shinn) population of the GREAT UNITED DIVERSITIES OF ERITREA ! Cheeeers
This is TRUE ! We had a gardner named ' REDAE ' that was agame & did just THAT !

In Agame case witch means a lost pathetic soul. No disrespect to Dogs cuz i love animals. Cheeeers man.
ReplyDeleteLol Ethiopian just get dumber and dumber the only reason UN chose Ethiopia army for peacekeepers is you are like 91million population and Bademe is not Ethiopia and the only reason Eritrea don't want to be the first to start war to get your Ethiopia out of our territory is cause we don't want to lose any Eritrean life and if we start first it will give the USA a reason to attack Eritrea with drones and convince other countries. But any way all Ethiopian helpers looks so busy
ReplyDeletewell said B. Adal!
ReplyDeletethat might not be his real name; RedaE means helper, you come from a dignified and civil parents, you stand tall and proud. They could have called him hash'ker and so forth but gave him a name that both allows him to know his place and live as a human being in the society. The real RedaE is translated into mercy, further stating the good nature and later the disappointment and upsetting of their moral which forced them to expel him of the warm and pleasant home you grew-up in and fondly remember.
ReplyDeletewhatever will be will be, as they say.
the same story here too!
You are just HABESHA (agame) with identity crises and cannot have a say for Ethiopian people.
ReplyDeleteI guess you are right, Madote is not the real Madote. We all do not expect an agrument like that from Madote. I myself thought that Madote stand for Eritreanism and I do not see any reason as to why Madote stand by his own and comment to sell our port for free to the killers of our martyrs? Nonthing is said officially so why spread such silly comments in public? There must be woyane hacker.
ReplyDeleteYou comment is much different than FREE.
ReplyDeleteCome down bro, breathe in breathe out LOL.., Anyway bro it was just a little misunderstanding. *MADOTE* explained it, like this... :)....
ReplyDeleteThe following is Eritrea's plan for Assab:
"Eritrea's main focus on the use of Assab will no longer be to serve Ethiopia. The plan is to develop Assab port as a transit and duty free port, where ships exchange their cargos and receive services and supplies. The very strategic location of Assab, being at the busiest maritime route, and at the gate of the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, makes it favorable to use it as a transit port. Though this needs heavy investment, and with dedication and hardwork, we will be there."
