The great and final Battle of Armageddon will be the epic showdown between the great powers of the earth at Jerusalem. Ezekiel 38 : 4-5 "And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: "Persia,👉 Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. "Prince of Gog, you will be guardian to Iran,👉 Ethiopia, Libya and Turkey." Ancient Persia is Modern Iran. Ethiopia and Libya are still in the same place. In ancient times, Gomer was the region that is now western Turkey. Togarmah was the region that is now eastern Turkey and portions of Armenia. Ancient scholars like Josephus and Hippolytus of Rome wrote that Meshech and Tubal were in the region north of the Black Sea, from Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan on the east to Bulgaria and Romania in the west. (There appears to be a slight possibility that NATO could be involved in this attack on Israel, since Turkey is a member of NATO.) Clearly Battle of Armageddon is near not miles or minutes away from us!!!

[@TheAwillz]

In terms of Djibouti and Ethiopia forming a coalition I’m not so sure. Djibouti is the country with the greatest amount of foreign military bases on its land owing to it being one of the only stable ports along the Red Sea that can provide the necessary safe docking to secure Nations shipping route through the straight. To many major powers have a hand in Djibouti for Ethiopia to realistically have much pull at the moment. Although who knows

@Vlad the guru France maintains a sizable global presence, including numerous overseas jurisdictions (Caribbean, South America, Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean), one of the most mature nuclear arsenals, a leading role in the European Union, numerous mineral and fossil fuel multinationals, being world's biggest tourist destination, an iron grip in West Africa and being the only major European country experiencing sizable natural growth of the population.

Here is some context for landlocked navies: The Declaration recognising the Right to a Flag of States having no Sea-coast (French: Déclaration portant reconnaissance du droit au pavillon des Etats dépourvus de littoral) is a 1921 multilateral treatywhich legally recognised that a land-locked statecould be a maritime flag state; that is, that a land-locked state could register ships and sail them on the sea under its own flag. As of 2013, the Declaration has been ratified by over 50 states, and international law recognises the right of any state to sail ships on the sea under its own flag. Today, land-locked states which have merchant vessel fleets include Austria, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Ethiopia, Hungary, Laos, Luxembourg, Mongolia, Moldova, Paraguay, Slovakia and Switzerland, though of these, only Ethiopia, Laos, and Mongolia have no river/sea port from which the high sea can be reached.

@Que_Rico Eritrea is a failed Italian venture from tge 30s and Somalia aren't far off. Both were states of the Ethiopian Empire until Mosullini swooped in and turned the whole place into a classic European colonial territory with typical colonial enforcement and segregated. By kissing up to the French, Ethiopia is offering itself up as a European vassal state. The Last time Ethiopia relied on a European nation (UK/France) she was invaded and dismembered by the weakest and least powerful of the European nations of the era: Italy. Both of Ethiopia's European allies did zilch but house the Ethiopian royal and its gold. Had France and Great Britain pounced on Italy and installed an obedient government, the 2nd world war would not have happened; if it did, Germany would have been defeated in 39, not 45...

Somalia is building a massive Navy with Turkish assistance at a much faster rate than the French-Ethiopian project because there are thousands of Somali soldiers currently graduating from Turkish Academies as drone pilots, fighter-pilots, tank operators, sailors, engineers, etc. The main objective besides shipping routes security is protecting the huge swathes of oil zones along Somalia's coastline that are considered the last frontier for an oil-boom with an estimated 100 billion barrels of oil. Once the arms-embargo is lifted, the Somali sailors currently at TURKSOM will start manning patrol-boats and major naval vessels. You should do a video on this growing relationship that has been a steriod injection in a rapidly resurgent Somalia. A billion dollar spaceport is even planned because of Somalia's proximity to the equator.

Eritrea never had the courage to fight Ethiopians face to face they were fighting guerriglia fights. You know better then me that you had more casualties and you couldn't afford to continue any longer the war if it lasted longer. While we were fighting with Eritrea we were also fighting the other 3 wars. From an Ethiopian P.S.

Brother , the reason ethiopia is building a Navy is to capture and swallow the small regional cauntries like Eritrea and Djabuti, and weak Somalia as there is beleive of Ethiopians " greater Ethiopia " that includes those cauntries i mentioned to u. Your theory is very good , except missing that long term goal to swallow neighbors cauntries .

New-Era You When Europe ended dictatorship, it took 2 world wars to transform into democracies. In comparison, Ethiopia’s problems are manageable. 2 million displaced people was at the height, most of them have returned. Don’t forget that there are 100 million people in Ethiopia when you compare to Syria etc that are much fewer. As for Sidama, you don’t seem to understand Ethiopian politics. They’re not questioning their nationality, they’re asking for more local political power. I’m not in favour of this ethnic federations, but it’s the only system the majority would accept at this point. In the future, I’m sure it will be beaten democratically (by challenging ideas).
