Ethiopia should annex Djibouti and Eritrea. That would give them complete access to the sea. But if they did annex them they should also eradicate islam in both countries. And then possibly do the same to Somalia.
Maybe the pirates would get stomped on too!
Yes, Ethiopia should expand to the sea and used forced conversion to make the people Christians—might not be as hard as it seems. Then, move on Somalia and southern (Christian) Sudan. The have the Ark of the Covenant after all and the full support of God (Israel may well help—Maybe Egypt too). Getting rid of Piracy is a real plan for the world and world peace. Maybe Russia and India would help here as well.
