Video on the Ethiopian Invasion of eritrea

[SamaaleCushite]

he also mentions how it began with 1977 somali invasion @17:48

@seldiboy are you conscripted because Ethiopia is gathering 100 miles from your capital in Zalambessa.

 

[Emir of Zayla]

Eritrea is gonna beat them back like how they did before.

 

[SPMLegend]

Imagine how arrogant these Ethiopians are. Without Eritrea they would have been fully disintegrated because of the Tigray war.

 

[Lahaine]

If they invade eritrea they are definitely gaining U.S support. Eritrea is a pro-east nation. But an invasion of eritrea is gonna be tough and Ethiopia better prepare for huge casualties if they go through with it

 

[Keep it a boqol]

may allah make ethiopia landlocked forever

What would be the better selling point to the west: invading to get the 30 year despot outta there and stopping the Russian navy from entrenching itself in the region or de facto annexing (permanently occupying) a port region for the purpose of protecting international trade from Houthis?

 

[Serene Sharif]

Hopefully after a disastrous invasion Ethiopias balkanisation process shall begin. I hope Eritrea makes them break the bank in the war and later when civilians aren’t getting paid a full ethnic civil war erupts and they lose their bricks membership 🥹HEHEHE

I hold Eritrean citizenship so hypothetically I could if I was in Eritrea during an outbreak of war.

I wouldn't worry about a war though. Ethiopia neither has the military capabilities nor the geopolitical goodwill to go through with it. Remember, we still live in a world of rules based order (even if it's not applied equally). Unilateral invasions are met with swift sanctions that will cripple a 3rd world country's economy. I wouldn't be surprised to see intervention in the form of boots-on-the-ground either.

The first would be better although it still wouldn't hold as a valid casus belli. De facto annexation of a port is not enough for Ethiopia. Assab and Massawa cannot handle anywhere near the volume of trade required for Ethiopia. For them to be feasible options, they need development with money that Ethiopia does not have. Thus they need foreign contractors and loans to make it work (which they will not get without de-jure recognition of annexation)

 

[Himmler]

Inshallah Eritrea crushes Ethiopia once and for all. Eritreans are good people

 

[Serene Sharif]

We should’ve signed a mutual defense pact with Eritrea and Djibouti stating if one is invaded it will require the response of the other two to intervene. Their population is too damn big we’re gonna have to have a German to soviet kill to death ratio in the early stages of op Barbarossa to be successful. At least a formal pact although it could be dangerous would disincentivise Ethiopia there would definitely be sanctions and even foreign intervention

 

[Haragwaafi]

There won't be another ethio-eritrean war

I'm sure the US would provide material support to weaken the Houthis and Russians

The ground support take is wishful thinking. Ethiopia will shoot themselves in the leg by pulling such a move. No matter, America will not aid the ruler in Eritrea.

Oh, any intervention wouldn’t be with the aim of aiding either side. It’s more to do with the fact that an outbreak of war around Assab is likely to be disruptive to activities around the Bab el Mandeb Strait. More of a stabilisation measure. Of course, no one is going to help Eritrea (or Ethiopia realistically) in this situation

If a war happened, then I hope this country would be dismantled.
This maniac wants to start a war while he was begging the World Bank for emergency loan, some big factories are closing for the lack of foreign exchanges, thousands of Ethiopians die from starvation, the Tigray war cost them 20+ billion dollars in damages, insurgencies around the country, yet instead of dealing with severe problems he buys advanced drones, cyber warfare systems, rearming the defense force and start a war with Eritrea!

If Ethiopia is gets dismantled that will be bad news for Somalis in the region as that will hit our economy and trade hard and I don't want that
