Peace and reconciliation and water issues researcher and advisor Garedew Assefa said that we should realize that there are many different ways to answer Ethiopia’s sea gate questions.
When we think of a choice of wedeb, we should be aware of the existence of Zeila, Berbera, Aseb, Adulis, Djibouti and Mitswa, the advisor told EBC Dotstream.
They also pointed out that the alternative selection of sea gate should focus on rationality, profitability and feasibility.
They also added that the country that is given to Amhara should indicate the economic benefit and stimulation it gets beyond rent.
Austria, which is without a port, has stated that it will use the German port of Hamburg, and it is free of charge.
Since this kind of mutual use is still unusual in Africa, they pointed out that using the principle of giving and receiving is the best option.
The researcher who says “Ethiopia is a victim of conspiracy” mentioned that the country’s distance from the sea in the north is only 60 kilometers.
According to the international water law, staying up to 50 kilometers away from the sea gate does not prevent us from using it. They have expressed regret that Ethiopia has been made to lose its ownership.
The question that we raised by saying “being late than not” is a way we can know our right so we should push it strongly.
In this process we should use all the options we have as much as we can, they have emphasized.
