Ethiopia has been landlocked since Eritrea gained its independence in 1993.
For 30 years it's been dependent on its neighbours - especially Djibouti - for access to ports and international shipping routes.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed says the high costs are unsustainable.
He's reportedly said that Ethiopia will secure direct access to a port -- peacefully or, if necessary, by force.
What does he mean? And what are the implications for neighbouring nations?
