Ethiopia is actively pursuing its ambition for sovereign sea access through diplomatic channels, a long-standing national goal that is reportedly garnering increasing international recognition.
Dr. Ibrahim Muleshewa, a history teacher and researcher, recently offered his insights on this critical issue during an ETV 57 news program. Dr. Ibrahim asserted that Ethiopia's loss of its sea outlet was a consequence of various historical events and colonial machinations.
He underscored that the question of sea access resonates deeply with all Ethiopians. The researcher further highlighted that Ethiopia's claim to sea access is legitimate both historically and legally, adding that it is increasingly gaining traction within the international community.
Dr. Ibrahim emphasized the importance of Ethiopia continuing to pursue its sea access objectives through diplomatic means, stressing that a clear understanding of this pursuit is crucial for both its citizens and the international community.
