		Assab, long a preferred port of Ethiopia when it was part of Ethiopia, and later when it reverted to Eritrean jurisdiction, is once again in the limelight as arguments fly back and forth about the practicality of using the port for massive grain supplies expected in Ethiopia to overcome the effects of the current drought.
		Yet other proponents of the "use Assab" theory are unabashed hypocrites who only yesterday were engaged in delaying the supply of grain to Ethiopia for political reasons, and who today want to cover their backs now that the public is in outcry because matters have been allowed to deteriorate to this level.
		More ominously, there are also those that wish to raise the issue of using Assab for political reasons, to pressure Ethiopia to accept a cease-fire without the express commitment of Eritrea to withdraw from territories it occupied in May 1998 as provided for in the OAU Framework Agreement and the 'Modalities' document.

		In case of a forcible restoration of her rights over the Assab Region, these same foes are going to raise the principle that nations may not resort to force in the settlement of international diputes.
		Eritrea’s insistence to hold on to the Assab region is for the same purpose, as evidenced in her abuse of control of the port by confiscation, imposition of arbitrary custom duties, and the harassment, detention, murder, and dislocation of Ethiopians.
		Moreover, for Eritrea the Assab Region is only symbolic and being so far away from Eritrean centers of activity, difficult to manage and defend, especially given the hostility and current war of liberation of the Afar inhabitants, and a more powerful state always waiting to restore the territory to its former and rightful status.

		In his recent interview, Meles purposely mixes the question of Assab with independent Eritrea, with Nakfa and Massawa; with democracy and development, finally, there is a hidden warning the same as Isayas in Shabia.org, about the destruction of Ethiopia, if we continue questioning about Assab.
		By asking Assab and its environs, the dreams of Meles and Isayas to use Assab as a sucking leech in the economy of Ethiopia to create Eritrean-Singapore is going to be shattered.
		That is the reason, to why, the Eritrean Agent Meles Zenawi is prohibiting EDP and the Ethiopian people from voicing their concern on Assab and border issue on April 28, 2002 based on Ethiopian constitutional rights.

		Assab may not serve up the best Ethiopian/Eritrean food I've ever had, but it's certainly pretty tasty and there are few enough African restaurants in the Bay area that it's well worth an occasional visit.

		Assab's look is modest and comfortable, festive and rich in color, and it's a good spot for conversation over dinner.
