وزير الإعلام الإريتري يتحدث عن أطماع أديس أبابا في الساحل والبحر الأحمر

The Potemkin Party regime has been incessantly beating the drums of war and openly stating – from the Prime Minister down to its senior military and political officials – that it will launch a war of aggression against Eritrea to acquire what it calls “sovereign access to the sea” and “project maritime power” and presence in the southern coastal areas of Eritrea.

In recent weeks, it has tried to re-package this war agenda in terms of “self-defense” by fabricating various allegations against Eritrea.

In the wake of the upsurge of fighting in the northern part of Ethiopia, one of their senior Generals stated, in an interview with a local media outlet on 27 September last month: “… When we launch the offensive, we will not stop in Tigray.. Our main objective it to install our flag in the Red Sea”.

The General also stated, on another occasion: “Mekelle is a mere stop-over, our ultimate destination is Assab”.

So let us connect the dots. The writing on wall has remained crystal clear for more than three years now.

The PP’s overarching objective is to create a fallacious narrative of “self-defense” to rationalize and camouflage its war of aggression.

This is the holistic picture of reckless and flagrant violation of international law which cannot be blurred through deceptive narratives.
