Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has once again reignited controversy in the Horn of Africa. At his book inauguration on September 17, broadcast on state television, Abiy declared that Ethiopia will not remain landlocked and openly claimed Ethiopia’s “ownership” of the Red Sea. His words, charged with anger, raise serious concerns about sovereignty, peace, and stability in the region.
From an Eritrean perspective, this rhetoric is more than political posturing — it is a direct threat to Eritrea’s hard-won independence and internationally recognized borders. In this program, Setit Media examines:
The content and tone of Abiy’s speech
The legal and historical context of Eritrea’s Red Sea sovereignty
Regional reactions and the risks of escalation
Why Eritrea views these statements as a red line
Join us as we unpack the speech, analyze its implications, and put Eritrea’s national interests first in the face of growing regional tensions.
