Ethiopia Does Not Desire War with Eritrea, Says Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – In a significant address to the Ethiopian Parliament, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed reaffirmed his commitment to peaceful relations with neighboring Eritrea, stating unequivocally that his government does not desire a return to war. This message comes amidst ongoing tensions and concerns surrounding the stability of the region.

Speaking on Monday, Prime Minister Abiy stressed the importance of diplomatic dialogue and cooperation in resolving any existing disagreements. He acknowledged the complex history between the two nations, marked by a devastating border war between 1998 and 2000, but emphasized the need to move forward with a focus on mutual respect and benefit.

“Let me be clear, Ethiopia does not want war with Eritrea,” Prime Minister Abiy stated. “We believe that lasting peace and prosperity can only be achieved through dialogue, understanding, and a shared commitment to a secure and stable Horn of Africa.”

While the specific reasons for the rising tensions were not directly addressed, analysts suggest that ongoing issues related to border demarcation and the implementation of past agreements are likely contributing factors. There have also been concerns raised regarding the presence of Eritrean troops in Ethiopia’s Tigray region during the recent conflict.

Prime Minister Abiy’s statement is seen by many as an attempt to de-escalate the situation and reassure both domestic and international observers of Ethiopia’s commitment to peaceful relations with its neighbor. However, some remain skeptical, citing the Eritrean government’s perceived lack of transparency and willingness to engage in constructive dialogue.

“While PM Abiy’s words are welcome, real progress hinges on concrete actions and a genuine commitment from both sides to address the underlying issues,” said Dr. Yared Tesfaye, a political analyst based in Addis Ababa. “The international community must also play a role in facilitating constructive engagement and ensuring that past agreements are implemented effectively.”

The Prime Minister’s address comes at a crucial time for Ethiopia, as the country continues to grapple with internal challenges, including ongoing conflicts and economic pressures. A stable and peaceful relationship with Eritrea is considered vital for regional stability and economic growth.

The Ethiopian government has expressed its readiness to engage in further dialogue with Eritrea at all levels. It remains to be seen whether these overtures will be reciprocated and whether a lasting peace can be forged between the two nations. The coming months will be critical in determining the future trajectory of Ethiopia-Eritrea relations.
