Anchor Media: "Building a Navy Where There Is No Sea Outlet. A Dog That Bites Does Not Bark." Special Discussion with Major Mamo Lemma
“የባህር በር በሌለበት የባህር ኃይል ግንባታ። የሚናከስ ውሻ አይጮህም።” ልዩ ውይይት ከሻለቃ ማሞ ለማ ጋር
Anchor Media holds a special discussion with Major Mamo Lemma on building a navy without a sea outlet.
Background: Ethiopia's navy was dissolved after Eritrea's independence in 1993 left the country landlocked, and Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced its revival after taking office in 2018, later signing training agreements with France and Russia. Abiy has repeatedly said Ethiopia must secure access to the Red Sea; Eritrea accuses Ethiopia of seeking that access through its territory. In November, navy chief Admiral Kindu Gezu was reported as saying access would return "through diplomacy, law, or other alternative," while also saying Ethiopia has no invasion plans.
