00:02Even if it can not seem obvious,
00:05Ethiopia has a massive population
00:07and is the most populated country in the world without access to the ocean.
00:11This has weakened Ethiopia,
00:12because it depends on Djibouti and the Erythrée
00:15for all its maritime commerce.
00:17In the 1990s,
00:20after the Erythrée took its independence from Ethiopia,
00:23the two countries have fought their borders,
00:25which led to a war giving to Ethiopia the total control of the disputed territory.
00:31Then, in 2018, when Abiy Ahmed arrived at the power,
00:35he concluded an agreement with Erythrée
00:37to restate the lands contested,
00:39in addition to what Erythrée would give to Ethiopia
00:42access to the important important ports.
00:44And now, five years after the signature of the peace treaty,
00:48Erythrée has never given access to these ports to Ethiopia.
00:51As Erythrée is largely criticized by the international community
00:54for its violations of the human rights,
00:57the Ethiopia is in a advantageous position
01:00to invade Erythrée.
