The fight for Assab port

Abiy enjoyed some significant amount of backing among Ethiopians for the war in Tigray between 2020 and 2022, which displaced millions of people. Eritrea supported his government during that particular conflict, becoming an ally.Ethiopia and Eritrea made peace in 2018, formally ending their border conflict. But control of the Assab port which serves both countries is sparking new tensions with fears it could lead to a fresh dispute. Abiy and Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki signed a historic peace deal later the same year to end decades of fighting. This won Abiy the Noble Peace Prize and the admiration of the world  but now there are emerging fears that all the gains made five years ago could soon be in jeopardy. Do you support Ethiopia’s claim ?
