According to diplomatic sources, the government of Eritrea has initiated the process of closing its embassy in Addis Ababa. The only representative from Eritrea who will remain in Ethiopia is the official assigned to the African Union, which has its headquarters in Addis Ababa.
For the majority of the past thirty years, diplomatic relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea have been largely non-existent. These ties were restored in 2018, and in 2020, both nations collaborated militarily to combat Tigray fighters in northern Ethiopia. However, since November 2022, there has been a noticeable increase in tensions between the governments of Eritrea and Ethiopia.
In the previous year, Eritrea took the step of suspending operations of Ethiopian Airlines within its territory. Conversely, Ethiopia has been openly supporting opposition groups that are critical of the Eritrean government. As of now, there has been no official announcement regarding the closure of the Eritrean embassy in Ethiopia, while the Ethiopian embassy in Asmara has been functioning since 2018. It remains uncertain whether Ethiopia will decide to close its embassy in Eritrea.
Certain analysts suggest that the two nations are once more approaching the brink of conflict. Their previous engagement in warfare in 1998 resulted in significant casualties, with thousands losing their lives on both sides.
In response to allegations regarding the closure of the Eritrean embassy in Ethiopia, Biniam Berhe, the Eritrean chargé d’affaires in Ethiopia, characterized the reports as “fake news” during a statement made on Friday.
Finally! I hope they all leave.
With the two largest regions of Ethiopia, the Amhara and Oromia region, a total mess and wreaked with anarchy, and if a war breaks out, Eritrea will lick the daylight out of the old country. Its soldiers will be welcome by the so-called rebels in both Oromia and Amhara regions. Then what? The looting will be on in ways unseen before. All what Al-Toweels’s soldiers need is a loyal and reliable beasts of burden and they will find that in the ‘rebels’ of those two regions. I mean, it is going to a complete rout. It will be like the 1939 Polish army against Hitler’s Panther elite army. That sounds good news, right, you bigots and connivers in Minnesota, Toronto, LA, Oslo and Down Under? I highly suggest you start packing up now. Ethiopia that you hate most with passion will be history soon.
Talking about reparations, Eritrea is right in its demand that Ethiopia should be ordered to pay minimum of 250 billion in US dollars for invading Eritrea in 1952 at Keren in which 6 million innocent citizens were killed and property worth 185 billion in US dollars was destroyed and also in 1952 and 1962 where 2 million citizens were killed along with property worth more than 75 bilion in US dollars was destroyed. Reparation to Eritrea by Ethiopia for all of that is overdue. Hey Ethiopia! You should cough that up now. Otherwise, your ass will be grass soon!!!
Ethiopia, you’re toast! You’re kaput, done, gone, arrivederci, goodbye!!! What language you don’t understand? Your real boss will be in town in a jiffy. You better hand over the keys to the GERD Dam now. You better concede all exports of coffee, precious minerals, oil seeds, animal hides and phosphate to the Abruzzis in Piccola Roma which will make it easier for you to pay off your debt of 250 billion in US dollars you owe them for invading their country in 1941 at Keren and in 1952 and 1962 in Asmara. Boy, everybody hates Ethiopia. I’m gonna write a script by that name for a TV show.
I hope the ardent supporter of the criminal Afeworki the so called professor Hassen may read your comment unwillingly. Personally I hate the unruly oromuma rule in Ethiopia but Shabia is not my choice.
