Ethiopia’s Quest for Access Seaport Promotes Mutual Dev’t, Needs to Be Supported 

 

Addis Ababa, February 5/2024 (ENA) Countries in the east African region should support and cooperate with Ethiopia since the country’s quest for access to seaport is a genuine move to maximize mutual growth, said Ethiopian ambassador to Tanzania.

Speaking to ENA, Ethiopian Special Envoy and Plenipotentiary to Tanzania Ambassador Shibru Mamo said that the Recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Ethiopia and Somaliland is a landmark and a practical response for cooperation and mutual development.

On January 1, 2024; Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed inked a historic MoU in Addis Ababa with the President of Somaliland Muse Bihe Abdi). The MoU for Partnership and Cooperation, between Ethiopia and Somaliland, is intended to serve as a framework for the multisectoral partnership between the two sides.

The deal is also believed to pave the way to realize the aspiration of Ethiopia to secure access to the sea and diversify its access to seaports.

Ambassador Shibru added the MoU is also a remarkable diplomatic success story that the Ethiopian government has achieved under the leadership of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.

Moreover, the accord would allow Ethiopia to utilize the seaport from the Red Sea, one of the most strategic world trade routes.

The ambassador also expressed belief that Ethiopia’s access to seaport will significantly contribute to develop cooperatively and in solidarity with countries in the region.

“The biggest thing is that a MoU between Ethiopia and Somaliland would promote the principle of cooperation. This is also aligned with the international rules for access to coastline. On the other hand, this agreement can ensure the economic benefit of Somaliland and allow it to have a proportional share from Ethiopia,” Shibiru stated.

Beyond accelerating Ethiopia's growth by increasing its import-export trade, the ambassador is convinced that the deal will gradually change the political, economic and security situation in the region for the better.

According to him, access for additional ports for Ethiopia is crucial in order to properly accommodate its ever growing economy and population.

In this regard, countries in the region should understand the real challenges of Ethiopia as well as its peaceful approach by supporting its endeavor in getting access to port, citing Tanzania for sharing its ports to its neighboring countries for mutual benefits.

Tanzania, which has eight neighboring countries and seven ports, created a favorable environment around its ports by constructing massive infrastructure in railway and other dry transport, he indicated.

With this, the Tanzanian government has not only donated about 20 hectares of port to Zambia, but also allowed Zambian goods to stay at the port for 45 days without fee, he said.

Therefore, he said, Ethiopia’s neighboring countries should follow Tanzania’s footsteps in this regard to reinforce mutual development for the betterment of the east African region.

Not sure why facts are being distorted, but Tanzania has dedicated dry port area for goods destined to Zambia, and did not give away land for Zambia to develop as it sees fit, but uses Tanzanian Ports. 

Similar area has been developed in Berbera for goods destined to Ethiopia and much larger then 20 hectares with tax free storage, production for much longer period.

Arafat, this deal defies every logic, I think it was as results of desperation from Biihi side, to bring Mogadishu to the table, with better deal

Why else he makes suicide deal? If you have seen the Ethiopian side, they are talking about permanent base.

This deal will also not a great harm Somali republic but death sentence to Djibouti

Historical enemies and internal traitors?

it looks like Abiy's government is readying for internal and external enemies namely Amharas, Eritreans and Somalis. He will be addressing his rubber  stamp parliament tomorrow.

If Xasan asked me what he should do, I would tell him to send one of those Turkish drones to neutralise Muuse Bixiye. This would send a powerful signal to Ethiopia and the Oromo loving fools in Hargeisa. I am sure the international community will turn a blind eye to such an action. Before this can be done, the Ethiopian troops must be expelled from every region in Somalia and officially call the Bixiye regime a "terrorist group".

tallaabo u expecting to much from the walanweyns they cant even expel a low born galla ambassasdor from their country.  lafta gareen and ulusow cant agree. Deni is holding a shirt and is focusin on his own agenda. and u want them to carry out  a sophisticated attack with drones and what not. Their whole existence is dependent on atmis soldierds. maanta haday baxaan beri ma jirayaan

After four hours of lecturing his captive MPs today, Abiy stated Ethiopia wants a small piece of land, has 100 plus million people, and the fact Somali rivers originate from Ethiopia. No mention of Ictirifaac, just what Abiy wants and thinks.

I think SL has been quite without a rudder the last few years, like a steerless ship in the ocean. Nearly every single decision made by its leadership and every single action embarked on by the government has been defying every logic and default going against its own social contract.   Even before Las Anod, things started going in to the wrong direction from when they starting deporting people from Las Anod and Erigavo, and when the state that was built for three decades made in to a personal fiefdom.

it’s moral compass has been completely defunct. Somaliland ‘moral’ wee kacday, Meesha loo socdo lama garaniyo.
