Ethiopia Has No Alternative But to Safeguard Its Interests in Red Sea & Nile: Army Chief

While Ethiopia seeks to coexist with neighboring countries and peoples in a spirit of brotherhood, it views provocative actions by some actors as a challenge to its aspirations, said Field Marshal Birhanu Jula, chief of general staff of the National Defense Force.

"The Nile waters are Ethiopia's natural blessing, while the Red Sea is a sea that God created for us Ethiopians to use," he underlined, adding that both resources are sufficient to serve the wider region.

The Ethiopian government and armed forces will continue to uphold the country's interests in both strategic waterways, the official emphasized.
