Ethiopia Vows to Restore Lost Red Sea Access Through Law, Diplomacy, or 'Other Alternatives': Navy Commander
Losing access to the Red Sea is one of the tragedies Ethiopia has faced in its history, Vice Admiral Kindu Gezu said at a symposium for former military and police personnel, as reported by a Sputnik Africa correspondent.
"The connection between Ethiopia and the Red Sea is not an event that emerged after the Second World War, as others may want to tell us. It has existed for thousands of years," the commander declared.
Through diplomacy, law, or other alternative, Ethiopian people and government will regain the port and sea access lost through illegal means, Gezu emphasized.
He also urged former military and police personnel to inspire the current generation to help Ethiopia secure its historical maritime claims.
