Ethiopia repeats demand for access to the Red Sea
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed insists his country must have access to the Red Sea. On Monday, he reiterated this stance despite neighboring countries asserting that the sea's governance is for coastal states. Ethiopia lost direct access in 1993 when Eritrea became independent. Abiy emphasizes the importance of a port for Ethiopia's “civilization.”
