Ethiopia vows to regain lost access to the Red Sea through law, diplomacy or 'other alternatives': Navy commander The loss of access to the Red Sea is one of the tragedies that Ethiopia has faced in its history, Vice Admiral Kindo Gezo 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 World War II, as others may want to tell us. It has existed for thousands of years," declared the commander. Through diplomacy, law or another alternative, the Ethiopian people and government will regain the port and access to the sea that were lost through illegal means, Gezo stressed. He also urged former military and police personnel to inspire the current generation to help Ethiopia secure its historic maritime claims. Subscribe to Sputnik Africa | X.
