Jacaylbaro Posted August 22, 2007 AGain i say: NIN RAG AHI WAA GARANAYAA why do you need people to explain everything to you bal ?? ,,, if you don't understand move on to what you understand. Berbera free zone is suggested by someone but not yet implemented. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

me Posted August 22, 2007 Northerner you made a comparison between JAFZA and Berbera free trade zone. I have asked you for similarities, you couldn't provide them, because your comparison wasn't a valid one. And thats the point I was making. Jacaylbaro I know that the Berbera free trade zone is not a reality yet and I hope it doesn't become a reality under the present circumstances. Because it doesn't serve the local population in the region, it only serves Ethiopia and the Ethiopians will soon be placing the North West region under direct control to protect their interests and even if the Ethiopians do not want to do that, they will be forced to protect those supply lines and station troops in the area. So all in all the move is not a positive one for the regions people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N.O.R.F Posted August 22, 2007 Northerner you made a comparison between JAFZA and Berbera free trade zone. I have asked you for similarities, you couldn't provide them, because your comparison wasn't a valid one. And thats the point I was making. When did I compare the two? Note: I stated that JAFZA was a working 'example' (keyword). You dont me to define the word 'example' now do you? Making your point(s) invalid. it doesn't serve the local population in teh region, it only serves Ethiopia and the Ethiopians will soon be placing the North West region under direct control to protect their interests and even if the Ethiopians do not want to do that, they will be forced to protect those supply lines and station troops in the area. So all in all the move is not a positive one for the regions people. 1. How will it not help the local population? 2. How does it 'only' serve Ethiopia? 3. How will the Ethios be placing SL under it's direct control? 4. They will station troops in the area because it has a free zone port? :confused: (or do you want them to? ) 5. A bad move for the region because you say so? Man-up saxib. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacaylbaro Posted August 22, 2007 Yeah i know it is not a positive one as long as it is serving somaliland and your uncles are not getting paid millions. Anything positive in Somaliland is negative to you and that is really sad. The free zone project is serving the whole Horn of Africa not only Somaliland and will perfectly kick out Djibouti's ambition of planning to be the east Africa entrance. You will never need to go to Dubai to buy things ,,,, simple you can find them in Berbera with the same price or even less. If you make your connections from now and look at it positively you can work on it and kick the Ethiopians out of the window. This is a matter of interest and economy. As long as you shout it is NEGATIVE and SHOULD NOT BE IMPLEMENTED then i afraid Ethiopia will have the chance to benefit from it. As i said earlier ,,,, if walaalahayo are not happy with our progress, we don't mind having agreements and commercial ties with anyone including Israel .....

N.O.R.F Posted August 22, 2007 ^^I did notice DP World are now in control of Djabouti airport. I think they operate the port aswell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
me Posted August 22, 2007 North, I think you made an indirect comparison sxb and thats why I asked you for further details. You not answering my question made me conclude that your comparison was not a valid one. 1. How will it not help the local population? 2. How does it 'only' serve Ethiopia? 3. How will the Ethios be placing SL under it's direct control? 4. They will station troops in the area because it has a free zone port? (or do you want them to? ) 5. A bad move for the region because you say so? Northerner I have explained how I came to these conclusions in this thread and in thisthread Jacaylbaro I have no uncles in politics sxb, ta labaad thank you for strenghtening my case by claiming that Berbera port is intended to as you aptly put it 'Kick Djabouti's ambitions' and proving my original point of Ethiopia playing Somalsi out on each other so that they compete on who is most willing to do favours for it. Business sense and political sense would be to form a united block againts Ethiopia so that we make deals with them on OUR terms not THEIR terms and to do that you need a little something called Somalinimo.

Jacaylbaro Posted August 22, 2007 As i said and still saying Berbera port is open for everybody .... Berbera is a commercial city and deals will be made with anyone. If the soomaalinimo (the claimed one) doesn't make you rush to make your business and reserve your position then don't let the jelous in you make you cry and scream like xabashiyad laga dhintay It is open for Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
