In 1869 it was bought by the Rubattino Shipping Company from the local Sultan, and was acquired by Italy (1882) who found the port inadequate for exploitation of its hinterlands, and came to use Asseb as a coal station for shipping.[1] The Soviet Union later built an oil refinery there.

Asseb represents the Afar people who have been part and parcel of Ethiopia; it represents the vast, ecologically contiguous region on the Horn historically, culturally, economically and logistically tied to the broader area of Ethiopia; it represents a seaport that has been a vital lifeline with the outside world for all Ethiopians for centuries.
Asseb, therefore, is an abbreviated expression or capsule for the entire set of problems related to the forcible severing of the Eritrean region from Ethiopia.
Asseb symbolizes the intertwined sacred cause of the unity of Afars and the restoration of Ethiopia’s natural sovereign outlet to the seas.
The article is composed of three distinct categories; the reasons behind the issue of Asseb, the deceptive role played by Meles and Syoum Mesfin, and finally what went wrong in the Algers agreement as well as what to do about it.
In addition, if we had a naval force in Asseb, as it used to be, the terrorist Eritrean army wouldn’t have stayed in our territories for two years, destroying our villages, and exposing hundreds of thousands of our people to be homeless and forcing them to live in caves, under harsh conditions.
Be it, the brutal murder against the AAU students, the question of Asseb, or the recent court verdict; he becomes totally the mouse piece of Legesse Zenawi.
