Even if #Ethiopia acquires 12 Su-35 4++ generation fighters and S-400 air-defense batteries, those weapons will neither resolve its internal conflicts nor give it a just cause for war against its neighbors. Everyone knows that invading other countries takes more than military hardware. #Eritrean-Ethiopian history, ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, and numerous other conflicts remind us that sophisticated weapons alone cannot guarantee victory. Courage, determination, and the conviction that one is defending and fighting for a just cause remain essential. What just cause does Abiy have for claiming #Eritrea’s and his other neighbors sovereign coastline? None. Ethiopia’s desire for access to the sea gives it no right to seize another country’s territory. Hubris cannot turn ambition into entitlement. Nor would these weapons make a confrontation with #Egypt, #SaudiArabia, #Somalia, #Sudan, or #Eritrea any less reckless. Ethiopia’s security and prosperity depend on peaceful relations with its neighbors. An arms package costing an estimated $4 billion would be a tragic misuse of resources while millions of Ethiopians need food. That money should feed families, rebuild communities, and give young people a future. #Ethiopians: your neighbors are not your enemies. This is not your war. Refuse to be drawn into @AbiyAhmedAli’s reckless adventure. Choose peace, dignity, and your children’s future. To the peace-loving people of #Oromia in particular: Abiy claims to act in your name. Make your voices heard: “Not in our name.” @KSAmofaEN @EgyptForeignMin @AlsisiOfficial @hawelti @EmbassyEritrea @HassanSMohamud @antonioguterres @ymahmoudali @Bankole_Adeoye @vonderleyen
