Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>The Ethiopian Youth Federation has called on young people to actively and knowledgeably engage in advancing Ethiopia\u2019s national agenda for sea access, emphasizing their critical role in shaping the country\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

The Federation underlined that securing reliable access to a sea outlet remains essential to sustaining Ethiopia\u2019s economic growth and meeting the rising development demands of its population.<\/p>\n

It noted that the government is intensifying diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving this strategic objective.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ENA, Ambassador Alexander Nigusse, Head of International Public Relations at the Ethiopian Youth Federation, said, “The existence of a sea outlet is crucial for Ethiopia\u2019s economic and social development.”<\/p>\n

He added that the Federation is working to support national diplomatic efforts by mobilizing youth engagement and raising awareness.<\/p>\n

He stressed that young people carry a significant responsibility in safeguarding national interests, noting, “Youth should participate with knowledge and actively to protect Ethiopia\u2019s national interest and realize the sea access goal.”<\/p>\n

According to the Federation, ongoing initiatives are focused on enhancing awareness among the younger generation and encouraging informed participation in national issues.<\/p>\n

Young citizens who shared their views echoed similar sentiments.<\/p>\n

Abenezer Ermias said, “Our sea access issue is gaining international recognition, but we still need to use influential youth voices to make the agenda more visible globally.”<\/p>\n

He highlighted the importance of using social media tools, including short videos and historical narratives, to communicate the legal and historical basis of Ethiopia\u2019s claim.<\/p>\n

Ruth Shewankta and Feven Fikadu on their part also emphasized that the matter extends beyond government responsibility.<\/p>\n

They noted that all citizens, particularly youth, must play an active role.<\/p>\n

According to them, the sea access issue is not only the government\u2019s agenda but that of the entire generation, emphasizing that young people should take the lead in expressing their views and supporting national efforts.<\/p>\n
