Description

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of Ethiopia's historical sovereignty over the northern Red Sea and the evolving status of the Port of Assab from pre-colonial times to the present. It uncovers long-standing political, economic, and cultural ties between Ethiopia, the Afar sultanates, and the wider Red Sea world, showing how these relationships formed an enduring sphere of Ethiopian influence. Through archival and legal evidence, the study examines how Italian colonialism disrupted indigenous governance and artificially created the entity later known as Eritrea. It further evaluates the legality of Eritrea's secession, the UN federation of 1952, and the geopolitical roles of Egypt and its allies in shaping Ethiopia's landlocked condition. By integrating historical continuity, legal interpretation, and regional politics, the book contributes to debates on colonial legacies, state formation, and contemporary maritime security in the Horn of Africa.
