The issue of eritrea started because the west had to make sure to break the country by backing separatists of all kinds, so the broken up part would be an incomplete country, both eritrea and ethiopia would technically be dependent on the other and that is what we see nowadays, a landlocked ethiopia unable to feed itself, we have to resort to buying ports in djibouti at an expnsive price because of that. An incomplete country will open its door for the united states to come in and suck the resources, the british did this to china.

Meles zenawi political enterprises always lined up neatly with the interests of western imperialism, none of his political facelifts furthered the good of the ethiopian people. He and the tplf were the main responsibles for the famines in the north by putting peasants against derg land reform strategy aimed at expanding and appropriating agricultural surpluses to finance social services and industrial development. They capitalized the peasants against it and sabotaged the entire project, plus they would get "humanitarian aid" in form of arms sent by americans and british to tigray mercenaries, and later after the war the tplf government sold tens of millions of acres to investors from the united states and arab gulf countries.

About isayas and the eritrean government i do despise their political lineage but they actually became the wronged side in many ways now, the tables changed, this because the united states never cared about eritreans they just wanted to take proveit of their ethnic nationalism in order to break ethiopia apart. Dont forget that the eritrean treasury was flooded with ethiopian money and i only mention that because meles zenawi saw this and changed the style of the money so without trade because of the war and no money in the treasury eritrea became one of poorest nations in the world.

Now the arab gulf countries like the uae and qatar really want to make eritrea a new yemen as they are trying to control the straits of aden, and that would be terrible for us ethiopians because we have interests in djibouti, china has too and is helping us. In fact the gulf states tried to stage a coup in eritrea in 2012 but failed, they aimed to remove isayas and what is left of eritrean sovereignty just so they can have a puppet there. Currently the best is to see ethiopia siding with eritrea and giving them the hand as we are the same nation, no more divisions and foreign actors foul playing should be tolerated, this way we can reach peace and forget the mess of the past walking toward a future of cooperation and integration, because you are right eritrea belongs to ethiopia and we need access to sea urgently.

There is a lot of fake news about eritrea going on around made up by sheikh nahyan, i went to asmara in 2017, eritreans are not bad people and the government did a good job managing the infrastructure of the capital. Asmara looked better than addis ababa in many ways, now our capital is improving a lot every year too thanks god.

Ethiopia and eritrea are in a new era of relations that i hope to be marked by peace and prosperity. The war was just a result of self destructive government in ethiopia under meles zenawi, you see, i really hate him. We are fortunately not being led by a government that is intentionally trying to start a yugoslavia esque collapse anymore, so we are back on the world stage.
