flag Ethiopia’s PM Abiy Ahmed demands access to Eritrea’s Assab port, sparking regional tensions and war fears.

flag Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has reignited tensions with Eritrea by publicly asserting Ethiopia’s intent to gain access to the port of Assab, challenging Eritrea’s sovereignty since 1993. flag His military parade in Hawassa, featuring special forces and a defiant banner, drew alarms over potential conflict. flag Ethiopia, currently reliant on Djibouti’s port and paying over $1.5 billion annually, seeks alternative access amid domestic challenges. flag While Abiy’s earlier peace efforts earned a Nobel Prize, recent border military buildups, accusations of Eritrean involvement in Tigray, and escalating rhetoric have raised fears of war. flag The UN and international observers urge restraint, warning that a conflict could derail Ethiopia’s ambitious infrastructure plans and deepen regional instability.
