Egypt withdrew from Ethiopian Grand Dam negotiations. This might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them to weaken Ethiopia for good or dismantle it.

LOL

Listen to their language carefully! They are saying they want to undo a historical injustice and go back to the Red Sea as it is their absolute right. Some even claim Saylac and surrounding areas are historically Ethiopian much like the Jews claim the present Palestine is their land as promised by God. Others go further and say, the Red Sea is a gift to Ethiopia as Abynassia gave refugee to early Muslims.

It means this....Abiy thinks it is divine right. There is no legal basis.

This principle, which safeguards the inherent sovereignty of the recognition process, serves as the cornerstone of the Ethiopia-Somaliland agreement. It ensures that the determination of their diplomatic relations is solely the prerogative of the signatories, emphasizing autonomy and mutual benefit. In upholding this diplomatic ethos, Ethiopia and Somaliland affirm their commitment to a relationship built on mutual respect, sovereignty, and long-term prosperity.

Not so veiled threats by Abiy's boy Translation (Google) We achieved the renaissance dam not by being applauded, but by being sent from near and far, drumming threats, evaluating threats and intimidation both on land and in the air, and withstanding all kinds of pressure. So will the sea gate.

Can anyone confirm this?

I can see why Muse Biixi gets away with everything, not much of an opposition . I am really hoping Faisal is not the one posting this.

I am more concerned about genocidal behavior of the Oromo and the Ethiopian state. What they do to each other is an indication of what they will do to us.

Simple and clear explanation.

Is getting the recognition worthy since it would lead huge influx of Oromo? And who is to stay they will not annex the whole region. Think of Crimea. I think Arafaat mentioned that in another thread. The young children and young Oromo in Hargeisa are beginning to believe their land is theirs.

Not as long as the old guard is in power and the promise of recognition is being dangled. By the way, Ethiopia said they will study or asses the process of recognizing Somaliland after they get the base and the port.
