Why did they allow Eritrea take all the coastline when seceding? Don't they know that roughly 80% of wealthiest cities and nations are coastal and have coastlines?

Allow? That’s hilarious. Sir, Eritrea/ns took what was rightfully theirs. No one gave Eritrea its land. 30 yr arm struggle wasn’t given or allowed.
-
You think if Ethiopia wanted to take a piece of coastline from Eritrea this month they couldn't with their military?
-
It’s not up for discussion. Your comment was why did they allow.
-
Yes meaning there was negotiation. Why wouldn't Ethiopia demand a bit of coastline? Seems very elementary to me.
-
There was no negotiations. It was a war of attrition. Eritrea trained not only Eritreans but also Tigrayan’s (Ethiopians) to assist them overthrow what was at that time a military junta lead by Mengistu Hailemariam. No negotiations - simply defeat!
-
In any case its not over. Ethiopia will get it's coastline eventually. It is way to powerful to not have one.
-
Ethiopia will not get Eritrea's coastline because they have lost all their attempts. As a country that has been getting food aid for millions of its people since the monarchy, you have to ask how can they be perpetually starving and "too powerful" at the same time?
