Eritrea Ethiopia war could erupt
Borkena
Toronto – The Horn of Africa is once again on edge as tensions between Eritrea and Ethiopia reach a boiling point. Despite the recent resolution of the Ethiopia-Somalia dispute through Turkish mediation, the region now faces a new threat: the possibility of a full-scale war between Eritrea and Ethiopia.
A war could break out between Eritrea and Ethiopia, according to a report from African Intelligence. Signs of worsening tension between the two countries surfaced last week after Ethiopia’s former president, Mulatu Teshome, published an article on Al Jazeera, accusing Eritrea of exploiting one faction of the TPLF to stir war in the region. Eritrea responded to it via its Minister for Information, stating that the publication represents “warmongering.”
On Tuesday, African Intelligence reported, citing diplomatic sources, that war could erupt between the two countries. A group of military leaders in Tigray, who recently expressed support for the TPLF faction under Debretsion Gebremichael, are reportedly working with the Eritrean government. Ethiopian local news sources reported that the Eritrean government has pledged to back these leaders if Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government declares war against them.
A BBC Amharic report from last week indicates that Eritrea has already deepened its military mobilization. All men under the age of 60 with prior military service experience are required to report for training. Travel outside Eritrea is restricted for all individuals under the age of 50.
There are also military leaders in Tigray who are reportedly opposed to the alliance with Eritrea and instead support the Interim Administration in Tigray, which is working with the Abiy Ahmed-led federal government.
The Interim Administration has been making allegations that a group of military leaders in the region, apparently those backing Debretsion’s faction, have been involved in illegal gold mining in Tigray and smuggling it out through Eritrea—an allegation that the Eritrean government has denied.
Meanwhile, Eritrea’s Minister for Information, Yemane Gebremeskel, on Thursday responded to a growing social media campaign against Eritrea. He stated, “Their [pro-Ethiopian government activists’] tantrums stem from their reckless and unquenchable thirst—or pursuit—of snatching ‘a port and maritime territory’ from their neighbor, in flagrant breach of international law and established norms of peaceful coexistence.”

If a war breaks out, Abruzzi’s first target will be the GERD Dam in a way to fulfill its obligation to Egypt. They have defense agreement, right? ELF and EPLF used to go after infrastructure projects in the 1960’s and 1980’s. They used to dynamite roads, bridges, oil refineries and carry out numerous plane hijackings. It was all to serve their benefactors in Al-Qahirah and that way so bags of rice keep coming. They used to tell me bragging about it. Mark my word they will send one of their MIG 29’s and rain bombs on the dam. My confidence in Ethiopia’s capability to protect the dam from hostile bomber supersonic jets is not that high. That will be music to the ears of these faceless bigots and connivers in Minnesota, Toronto, LA and other joints they are stinking up the neighborhood now.
Ethio-Eritrea Peaceful Co-Existence: The only solution is Eritrea’s return to its Pre-1991 borders. So, Eritrea should return Ethiopia’s Affar region [Not only just the Asèb Port].
EPLF/Eritrea & TPLF/Tigray ‘Accords’ [1991-2018]: Their accords are Null-and-Void! EPLF & TPLF [Egypt’s Proxies] co-invaded/co-ruled/co-looted Ethiopia [1991 to 1998].
Ethiopia’s Red Sea Shore: The Affar region has never been part of Eritrea. It was part of Wollo that later became Affar Autonomous Region till EPLF/Eritrea annexed it in 1991.
Asèb [Asèb Port]: Asèb was the capital of Ethiopia’s Affars till EPLF/Eritrea annexed Ethiopia’s Red Sea Shore in 1991. EPLF & TPLF concocted “Eritrea’s Affar” in 1991.
Caesar’s to Caesar: No democratically elected Ethiopian government signed any accord with EPLF/Eritrea. So, Ethiopia should claim its Red Sea Shore. No justification not to!
How can Qafar be part of Wello? Just nonsense

Eritrea and Tigray are the regional powers but should avoid confrontation. The government of Abiy Ahmed is so weak that its survival hangs on thin thread. Its Oromo dominated army is no more an effective fighting or defense force and it will not stand against the well trained and organized Eritrean army. The war in Tigray has shown that the Eritrean forces and their commanders played decisive roles in reversing the initial gains of the TDF. The government army collapsed in Tigray and thousands surrendered to the TDF. If war will start which is less likely, Eritrean forces will quickly advance into Ethiopia and depose Abiy Ahmed. Abiy Ahmed is talking about conflict with Eritrea as a deflection of attention from the crisis in Ethiopia.
You have refined fearmongering and lies to a high art. That’s why you are digi alti gra way. I think you should first work on removing your tail from between your legs. A second calcio from Qerroo will land you in the middle of Erta Ale, from where a return ticket is not guaranteed.
Lij Tamrat,
I couldn’t find the Affar Region’s map as part of the Imperial Era Wollo Province. I am not surprised →Books on Ethiopian Geography, History, etc. were destroyed by Egypt’s Mercenary Twins [EPLF-TPLF] during their Co-Looting Honeymoon Era [1991-1998].
However, thanks to GMN TV Ethiopia, I saw the map of the Derg Era [1974 – 1991] Autonomous Regions [Affar, Gambella, Eritrea, etc.] embedded in this link: youtu.be/j5-73dfB-T8?t=498 →[Courtesy: GMN TV Ethiopia]
One day, may be one day is already here. Erteran elaywalay doff azenbo lekuan masayet naw, kemeche wedeh naw tegentay gilgel le enatu or labatu heg ena bota mewesenew. Ukraine situation will definitely happen. Eritrea will be chocked at some point if they don’t choose peace!! Ethiopia went through hell the past 40 to 50 years due to these cancers in collaboration with TPLF and local idiots. My King Aby got the game very well. He used the dead Esayas Afewerki to eliminate TPLF who were trained and supported by him/Shabia, now it is time to eliminate Esayas himself. Why Ethiopians are shy to do this? This is completely our right to defend and restore our country and it will happen….
