Why Ethiopia is Preparing to Invade Eritrea Next

As an Ethiopian, a sea outlet is a massive issue for us, but we're tired of wars, and most importantly Eritreans are our siblings we don't want to fight Literally any foreigner would struggle to differentiate between an Ethiopian and Eritrean cultures, because we're basically the same nation, different nationalities And more than my fear for ourselves, I fear for Eritreans because their leader would conscript all the population, the Eritrean dictator will force his 5 million people to throw themselves into war, which would lead to the greatest humanitarian catastrophe and probably the bloodiest in the 21st century (which means that Ethiopia will break its own record)

Absolutely devastating.. As an Eritrean, I am not necessarily against Ethiopia gaining access to Assab, but it must be through diplomatic agreements. Everything else is unthinkable. We are siblings, how can we kill each other? It breaks my heart man.

I watched RealLifeLore during my lunch break at work up until a few years ago when the pandemic got me out of the office. I rediscovered your channel a couple weeks ago to see you went from ten minute videos on things like some crazy idea to dam the Mediterranean Sea to almost hour long videos exploring complex and long running issues. Kudos on the evolution.

This is such a great way for an ignorant outsider to learn so much about the situation and the history—not only the video but the feedback and differing points of view of the Commenters. Thank you and good luck 🙏🏼

Today's Fact: In 1978, a man named Joseph Figlock was struck and injured by a falling baby; a year later, he was walking in the same spot when the same baby fell again and struck him, but both survived.

We Ethiopians seek development and modernity not wars waged by the few. I can't stress enough how much this country's political stance and history has been misrepresented enough. As an Ethiopian, I truly appreciate your effort to research and present the history, demographics and background of Ethiopia for proper context, Thank You RLL.

Bro, that was satisfying! Thank you for your time and research!

Including the historical context in the beginning really helps with understanding the current situation. Well done.

As an Ethiopian more wars will only set us back, no need to turn our Eritrean siblings into enemies for an access to a port despite how much we need it, specially when its possible to get it done with an agreement in which both countries could benefit.

As an ex-Navy staff member that worked that Huge Antenna Farm at Asmara's Kagnew Station, it's very depressing to see these problems for a lovely people. If Eritrea provided Ethiopia access to Assab for half or less the cost of the Djibouti ports, it would be great for both countries, but that would require politicians with common sense, which is in short supply everywhere.

Thanks for the great video very informative it is very delicate region it is great to know the history specially if our country decides to be involved at any point.

One of my favorite channels on YouTube. Very interesting and informative

To our Ethiopian brothers and sisters, I can appreciate that our governments don't necessarily represent our people. We have the same religion, culture and similar language. I wish you the best and hope our countries the best in the future. 🇪🇷❤🇪🇹

This video was better than I expected. I obsessively followed the tigray war while it was going on and wrote 2 research papers for school about it, and talked about it with my Ethiopian and Eritrean friends. You did a surprisingly good job explaining most aspects of the relevant parts of recent and ancient Ethiopian and Eritrean history without getting too many things wrong and oversimplifying much, which for such a short video I am very impressed with.

Wishing you peace and progress

Thank you for you work here RealLifeLore..

As an Armenian this kinda breaks my heart, although I can understand the situation. I just wish that our brothers and sisters in Ethiopia and Eritrea are able, maybe with help of international help to solve this problem via diplomacy instead of war. Believe me when I say that, if Ethiopia takes part of Eritrea by force this will only harden their hearts and end in generational trauma and hatred.

Please consider talking about Venezuela's apparent desire to take over 2/3rds of Guyana's territory. Awesome videos as always by the way🎉❤

Thank you for making this video

Janoš I agree with you 💯🙏.. excellent video... Odlično 💯
