📍 Eritrea's Foreign Ministry warned on today that the "dangerous ethnic ideology" of Oromummaa casts a dark shadow over Ethiopia's future.
It described Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government as weaker than its predecessors but trys to look strong through rhetoric and media. Its aggressive push for sea access, the ministry said, diverts attention from domestic crises and serves an external agenda, even though Ethiopia already has access to over seven ports in five neighbouring countries.
It warned the push could drag the region into an unwanted war. Ethiopia’s Foreign Ministry has not yet responded.
