Energy and Security Issues in the Red Sea Transforming as the Age of Gas Begins in Earnest

Now, unlike a year or two ago, Eritrea recognizes that it can no longer give Ethiopia a pretext to go to war, because it would lose that conflict. On the other hand, Ethiopia’s need for the recovery of its Red Sea access may well have been forced by the combined efforts which recently resulted in, effectively, the loss of access through the Republic of Somaliland, which has succumbed, with broad Eritrean, Iranian, and other aid, to pan-Somalist, Islamist governance. So Ethiopia must bow to whatever demands Djibouti may make on it, in order to use the port of Djibouti, or else Addis Ababa must find a way to take back its territory in the south-eastern, Afar, area of what is the modern Eritrean state.

Both Senators Leahy and Feingold, shame on you for your dishonesty and misleading “findings.”  What have you gained from such outrageous statements simply blaming the victim of concerted campaign by the historic enemies of Ethiopia ? You cannot claim ignorance for you have access to intelligence reports compiled by very many agencies. How much money does Saudi Arabia, along with Egypt, Iraq, the Gulf Emirates, et cetera expend financing and arming and instigating hostilities against Ethiopia? We all know Eritrea is a poor country. Where do you think all this weapon that the Eritrean Government is distributing is coming from? Senators Feingold and Leahy do not claim you are doing all these for the benefit of Ethiopians? You are promoting the goals of Ethiopia ’s historic enemies to destroy Ethiopia for some convoluted mind bending reasons of your own. You do not, simply put, make sense!
