What are you saying, there are still currently existing tensions between the countries I listed and as for the US we can't really say they have a grudge with any other nation although they've earned themselves some epitome of dislike from some other countries. With the way things are going all I can say is there "might" be a use of "Nukes" before 2034, "maybe".

Breaking News!!!!!!



Sudan launches air and land attack on Ethiopian forces in El Fashaga.

News comes after 7 Sudanese soldiers and a civilian were abducted and executed by Ethiopian troops

Faithful007:
Is he aware that Ethiopia has security agreements with Nigeria, Algeria and South Africa or does he want to figure out the details of the agreement himself?

Maybe he don't understand that deterrence is not cowardice.

Even Egypt will think twice before invading Ethiopia. If this lingers beyond border conflicts then her partners might need to show some level of support. Otherwise, Egypt ticks off another obstacle.

Lurker4Long:

With the exception of the SADC Mutual Defence Treaty, South Africa has no such security agreement with any country that says we'll come to your aid if attacked.
Unless you're referring to the usual security co-operation agreement, which we've signed with almost everybody with whom we have diplomatic relations.

Exnavyboy62:
Does this loggerhead C in C of Sudan know the consequences of a serious escalation of this

it's actually quite sad to see Ethiopia going from potentially a Major African power back to the normal African sh1thole

Faithful007:
Sometimes I wonder how Ethiopia with her political instability manages to keep her national carrier afloat and profitable while carriers like SAA has escalated her debt stockpiling. Paradoxical.

Bloodofthelambo:
with 0 access to international waters, Ethiopias chances of becoming even a regional power house is 2%.

seems you've stockpiled new 'WordPONS' for another round of vawulence.
The last part of you post was unnecessary sire.(such comparisons finger some persons emotions here)



But... Any country that sees a national carrier as a thing of pride, will definitely fail in the Business side of owning one.

Faithful007:
I'm referring to the G4 agreements earlier this year formed in response to escalating threats by Egypt and Sudan due to the dam construction in Ethiopia.

All four countries have the same policy concerning that and interestingly, Algeria is the only country in North Africa which strongly opposes Egypt on the dam issue as well as having similar stand with sub-saharan Africa on other key issues. It is not a mutual defense treaty. The agreement is ambiguous for obvious reasons. Deterrence.

Lurker4Long:

The G4 agreement focused exclusively on the dam issues, and not the then frozen territorial issues Ethiopia has with Sudan, Somalia and to a lesser extent Eritrea.
It essentially told non-African actors to butt out of the issue.

jl115:
they don't need access to international waters be a regional power

Bloodofthelambo:
through out history, trade on waters determined how prosperous nations were. It hasn't changed, if your neighbours decide to close their borders, you're finished.
Ethiopia was doing well until now.
Nothing much should be expected from a landlocked country be it in Africa or Europe.

jl115:
Luxembourg, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Botswana...... All prosperous( all be it small nations)......what Ethiopia has is a large population and until recently a fast growing economy, they had all the prerequisites needed to become a regional power, also its fantasy to think all of Ethiopias neighbours would close there borders all at once.

You need to understand that this countries you just mentioned are not even relevant in Europe

British and some European countries are powerful today, is because of the way seas and oceans were used by their navies in the early age of civilization.

Countries without maritime borders can not be a regional Power, today look at all the big and significant countries in the world you will not find any land locked country amongst them.

Besides you need maritime trades in significant level to be able to influence your neighbor

A lot of facts have been coming out recently; well, especially from our NATO side. Well, the presence of cia operatives was debated but from my twitter news feed; US seems to be boasting about it. Let's talk about the training of Ukraine for 8 years, many debated that it was false with no evidence but now even NATO came out open, asserting to the claims. What other theses are being certified?? we keep watching. On the other side, Russia bankwagon came out and said 72 foreign banks from 12 countries joined their version of swift. With all these coming into play, "when two elephants fights the grass suffers"; who are the "grass" in this situation, maybe the poor African,Asian and little nations. We need to come together and ally ourselves not Sudan and Ethiopia fighting upandan, we signed a G4, and now our South African counterparts are saying it doesn't matter. If we keep playing like this, I'm afraid Africa won't wake up. Alliances made Europe and us what it's today, we in our continent need to start doing this for us to stand independent. NATO, EU, CSTO, Russia-China, BRICS is the perfect example of alliances; it's about time we start forming ours. A good example is ECOWAS

Bloodofthelambo:
What the young man said concerning G4 was just his personal opinion bro,
Africa's greatest enemies are not external forces, they are the "democratically elected" leaders we have.
Leaders who can barely manage their internal affairs should stay away from international politics.
Africans are still learning what nation building is. We need another 50 to 100years to develop.

And what you said about all your neighbors can not close their borders at the same time is very funny, there are different scenarios that can leed to such action.

we are not talking about super powers(historic) like the UK, Germany,France ect ect.... We are talking about regional powers, Ethiopia had all the requirements to become a regional power..... But you don't have to take my word for it.
