I wanna know exactly how long the SL government wants to lease the berbera port i know bollore is interested but SL should not go for long term leasing the port not more than 15 years.

[CidanSultan]

War xaji they are going to enlarge the port. 40% of all Ethiopian exports and imports will go through it. The revenue generated from port revenue will be multiplied by 3-4 times.

 

More leverage and economic growth is needed. We need free access into the Ethiopian market: free trade. And this is a step closer.

 

Berbera Hargaisa road is almost complete. The erigavo road Machinary has arrived. A connected country with a growing economy.

 

Huuuuraaaaa....

[Xaaji Xunjuf]

I dont mind their investment they going to invest in berbera port but it needs to be not a long term contract not more than 15 years. Djibouti currently has monopoly of Ethiopian export and import, it earns close 2 a billion dollar a year every year actually through dubai port. If bollore wants to expand berbera port its good but SL government needs to be careful not to sign something like 30 or 40 years. Remember Bollore is eyeing Ethiopia and we understand that but Somaliland should have the best deal out if it.
