The west is increasing pressure on Eritrea and may have given woyannes the permission to invade it.
I dont know if slave mentality results in stupidity. But if Eritreans were smart woyannes would have been history over a decade ago and Eritrea would be thriving today and would not have to live under the "no war, no peace" situation.
Handing over the Asseb region to Ethiopia would open the door for cooperation with the mainstream opposition against woyannes resulting in the fall of woyannes.
Not to do so would lead relations between the two neighbours to continue the way they are for many years after woyannes; no recognition of Eritrea by Ethiopia,no diplomatic and other relations and possibly war.
