埃塞俄比亚总理阿比·艾哈迈德坚称他的国家必须进入红海。周一，尽管邻国声称海洋的治理属于沿海国家，但他重申了这一立场。
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed insists his country must have access to the Red Sea. On Monday, he reiterated this stance despite neighboring countries asserting that the sea's governance is for coastal states.
埃塞俄比亚阿迪斯阿巴-埃塞俄比亚总理阿比·艾哈迈德周一重申，他的内陆国家必须进入红海，尽管邻国在周日的峰会上表示，对红海的责任在于沿岸国家，并警告地区冲突的风险。
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Monday reiterated that his landlocked country must have access to the Red Sea, despite neighboring countries saying at a summit Sunday that responsibility for the sea rests with states along its shores and warning of the risk of regional conflict.
1993年厄立特里亚（前埃塞俄比亚地区）独立后，埃塞俄比亚失去了直接进入红海的通道。
Ethiopia lost direct access to the Red Sea in 1993 after Eritrea, formerly a region of Ethiopia, became independent.
阿比周一宣誓就任第三个任期后不久表示，红海通道对于埃塞俄比亚的“文明”至关重要，他将努力确保该国拥有一个港口。
Shortly after being sworn in for a third term on Monday, Abiy said access to the Red Sea was critical to Ethiopia’s “civilization” and that he would work to ensure the country has a port.
他说：“根据给予与索取的原则，我们将努力确保埃塞俄比亚拥有出海口。”
“Based on the principle of give and take, we will work diligently to ensure that Ethiopia has an outlet to the sea,” he said.
埃塞俄比亚与其地区邻国的关系最近恶化。它还面临着与提格雷北部分离主义叛军的新一场战争。
Ethiopia’s relations with its regional neighbors have deteriorated recently. It also faces a renewed war with separatist rebels in the northern Tigray region.
提格雷人民解放阵线的战士与联邦军队发生冲突，一场为期两年的毁灭性战争于2022年结束。根特大学的研究人员估计，有50万平民死于暴力、饥荒和医疗服务崩溃。
Fighters from the Tigray People’s Liberation Front have clashed with federal troops, where a devastating two-year war ended in 2022. Researchers at Ghent University estimated that 500,000 civilians died from violence, famine and the collapse of health services.
厄立特里亚军队在提格雷战争期间与埃塞俄比亚军队并肩作战，但最近，埃塞俄比亚指责厄立特里亚支持叛军并动员埃及和苏丹的支持。厄立特里亚反过来指责埃塞俄比亚寻求通过其领土进入海洋。
Eritrean troops fought alongside Ethiopian forces during the war in Tigray, but recently, Ethiopia has accused Eritrea of supporting the rebels and mobilizing support from Egypt and Sudan. Eritrea, in turn, has accused Ethiopia of seeking access to the sea through its territory.
围绕埃塞俄比亚尼罗河上埃塞俄比亚复兴大水坝的另一场争端导致与依赖尼罗河供水的埃及和苏丹的关系紧张。
A separate dispute over Ethiopia’s Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on the Nile River has strained relations with Egypt and Sudan, which rely on the Nile for water.
周日，红海沿岸五个国家中的四个--埃及、厄立特里亚、苏丹和索马里--在埃及城市新阿拉曼举行会议，呼吁在地区问题上进行合作。他们说，红海的治理是其沿海国家的专属责任，并拒绝采取可能影响埃及和苏丹使用尼罗河水的行动。
On Sunday, four of the five countries that border the Red Sea — Egypt, Eritrea, Sudan and Somalia — met in the Egyptian city of New Alamein, and called for cooperation on regional issues. They said governance of the Red Sea is the exclusive responsibility of its coastal states and rejected actions that could affect the use of Nile waters by Egypt and Sudan.
