Jeremy Binnie, London – IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) appears to be constructing a new port next to Assab International Airport in Eritrea, which could become its first permanent military base in a foreign country.

Satellite imagery shows rapid progress has been made since work began sometime after September 2015. A square of coastline measuring about 250×250 m has already been excavated and dredged, while a pier and/or breakwater is being constructed and already extends over 700 m from the original coastline.

IHS Maritime & Trade data show that two vessels are currently working at the site. While neither have IMO numbers, one that has been at the site since 16 February is using the MMSI number 470331100 and the name Al Khatem .

    The opportunist evil Wahabi Saudis and their little Arab Gulf dogs are not only using young Eritreans against the proud but oppressed Shia Muslims in Yemen but also disgracing the Red Sea ports through their filthy occupation.
    While the corrupt savage Arabs are tormenting innocent Eritreans in the Arab prisons, their own hospitals harvesting Eritrean organs and their Arab Bedouin and Rashaida citizens raping and murdering Eritreans, the same savages are financing the Fascist Shiftas of Issaias thru the military bases the evil Saudis and their Emarite dogs are building in port Assab.
    … and Eritreans keep on being sold as slaves and as Arab Abeeds at home and in the cruel Arab world, be it Libya, Egypt, Sudan … See the Jane news below

    That is good Al Amoudi in Ethiopia and UAE in Eritrea….????????

  • klezighi April 16, 2016

    Ethiopians should come and bomb it immediately before the barbaric Arabs make it a market of poor young Eritreans kidneys.

    • AHMED SALEH !!! April 17, 2016

      Do not worry Ethiopia already got fair share from Arabs wealth through
      Alamoudi investment enterprise . Weyane and Shaebia leadership had been
      successful to solicit funds anytime opportunity arises . In fact Weyane
      outmatched Shaebia by gaining enormous amount of financial assistance .
      Therefore it is normal to observe children of beggars fight each other
      out of their greedy tendencies .
      People say ” help the poor but don’t let him under your pit-arm b’cause
      poverty is a disease that effects mental stability .

    Iseyas is selling the country a piece at a time and pocketing by money.
    No doubt Assab Port was given in exchange of hundreds of millions … but where is the money ?

  • AHMED SALEH !!! April 17, 2016

    A new port next to what ?
    I don’t have an idea that we have international airport beside the
    one in Asmera . Wow , good news if it is true .

    • WeyZemen April 17, 2016

      The airport in Assab was built by the Dergues at the end of the 80’s.

      • AHMED SALEH !!! April 17, 2016

        Are you sure they built international airport or for local flights ?

  • Tes April 17, 2016

    Dear Ahmed,

    How is this a good news? Can you elabrate it. Eritrea doesn’t run by law or appropriate government but outlaw bunchies. They don’t have the authority nor the interest of the nation at heart to negotiate and sell the port. Becuase they are group of crooks they are determined to remain in power at any cost be it by selling land or port to the highest bidder. And the infames Arebis know for their illict activities don’t care about the legitimacy of their purchase. they careless even to purchase from a bandit. But this is a time bomb it will explod in front of their face and will be their first and last base in the soil of Africa. HGDEF will go by force or following its natural death and those agreement would be null and void. To remine you the Asseb has a right full owners Afar. Are they gooning happy? I am not sure about that.

    • AHMED SALEH !!! April 17, 2016

      Copy cat Tes
      We use to have real Eritrean with same name . I better pass if I felt
      uncomfortable . By nature I give high regard to honest person regardless
      his or her point of view .

      • Tsehaye April 17, 2016

        Ahmed,

        Do you consider someone an Eritrean who was borne in Eritrea from Eritrean parents in a village, in a city, in a villa or a in hut, who hates the barbaric Gedli with a passion, and who supports the Eritrean people’s right to join or not join with any country in the neighborhood? What is your definition of Eritreanism? You have the habit of calling people whom you don’t agree with as not “real Eritreans”. How old are you, man? Doesn’t wisdom grow with age?

        • AHMED SALEH !!! April 17, 2016

          Are you the second copy cat irritated from comments in defense
          of my country from suspicious elements who do not speak Eritrean .
          Being political opponent doesn’t excuse nobody to act stupid and
          insult my people and the country I adorn dearly . Do not forget
          we experienced home grown traitors who sold out people they had
          known their entire life for selfish interest .
          In fact I did you a favor to call you outsiders than accusing you
          alongside HGDF criminals of our time with blood in their hand .

          • Tsehaye April 18, 2016

            Ahmed,

            You have not answered the questions. Please don’t beat around the bush and become so boring.

            ብዘመን እኒ-እኒ ራሕሪሕካያ ዝሃደምካ ሃገር: ሕጂ ልዕሊ ሰብካ ኤርትራዊ መሲልካ ንኻልኦት ኤርትራዊያን ኣይኮንኩምን ክትብሎም ቁሩብ መሕፈረካ::

          • Natnael April 19, 2016

            AHMED SALEH = a good camouflaged HGDEF security employee sent or hired to confuse the Eritrean Diaspora community and protect the HGDF Mafia interests at the same time. You can analyse his posts deeply and convince yourself !!!

          • wedi Habtai April 19, 2016

            If this guy called Ahmed is really HGDEF security employee hired/sent to confuse genuine/dekebat Eritreans
            then why is it Assenna let him to abuse and stop other good commentators expressing their fair opinions?
            Could it also be that Assenna is hired or sent by criminal and brutal HGDEFs to confuse and devide genuine deki hager? We don’t really know who to trust or approach this bad and dark days for Eritrea and Eritreans.
