Honorable UN Secretary-General,  Dear António Guterres,

Honorable Chairperson, for the African Union,  Dear Azali Assoumani,

Honorable Chairperson, for the IGAD, Djiboutian President, Dear Ismail Omar Guelleh

We, citizens of the Red Sea Region, are highly flabbergasted and offended by the recently made irresponsible and outrageous rhetoric by the Ethiopian Prime Minister, Dr. Abiy Ahmed Ali, addressing to his parliament that Ethiopia must have ownership to the Red Sea by any means.

Such naive and dangerous statement by the premier is a call for war, rejecting all colonial boundaries  and historical facts the UN recognizes its member states as a sovereign state – this is against the UN charter and it triggers all member nations to go illegal beyond and above the law.

We, the undersigned of this petition letter, feel that there is an active threat imposed not only on the national and sovereign integrity of at least three states in the Horn of Africa, but on the whole global order of this world. 

Therefore, we call for an unequivocal denouncement of the premier's provocation against international laws of sovereignty and colonial demarcations.

Sincerely,

Concerned citizens of the horn of Africa states.
