Holac Posted January 17, 2018 This is quite clear. Ethiopia is interested in making everyone happy. It wants Berbera and there is little the Somali government can do at this point. Farmaajo is busy in Mogadishu. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old_Observer Posted January 17, 2018 Both agreed on a number of Issues, but I don't think are any issues the SFG would object. No Somali can object to Ethiopia building modernizing a highway No Somali can object fighting Al Shabab (except those who support Al Shabab No Somali can object to increasing the number of Somalilanders in Ethiopian universities No Somali can object to building additional port facilities This are all things that benefit the Somali regardless wether Somaliland is under Mogadishu or not. There is an issue Somaliland raised about IGAD, but is not included in the public information. My Guess would be Somaliland wants to work with IGAD, since its working in some ways with all IGAD countries except Somalia (which there is no publicly known co-operation) and Eritrea is in self exclusion on some disagreement with Uganda over the Somalia deployment years ago. Here is a picture which a friend tried to analyse. As to the president of Somaliland supporting or encouraging its called with his left hand. Its personal preference. Remember Trump did that but Putin didn't and people tried to interpret it. As to the Ethiopian prime minister bowng that is normal Ethiopian culture for elders, Shieks, priests, you bow when greeting. Generally its total Ethiopian culture, but in the north is much pronounced and common across the board. Its considered vulgar and disorderly to greet an elder or community leader without bowing the head or uppe body. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hello maakhiri1, I have passed your warning to some friends from Tigray, much appreciated. They told me will be packing soon. Funny story but true. There is an opposition called Ginbot 7 and now the Amhara are not only abondoning but condemning as well. I get they have never been able to make it from Eritrea to Ethiopia through Sudan. Eritrea does not allow even a mosquito if they can control it to cross across their 1000km border. About 6 years ago this outfit sold "patriot certificates" for 500USD each. They were going to get rid of Tigray in 6 months. Their military leader was nabbed from Yemen on his way to Eritrea and is now in prison in Ethiopia. Not this time either, maybe next time. The ones where all hope was banked this time are in retreat. The Oromo version of Shabab will be controlled by the Oromo themselves. Is more danger to them than to anyone else. I am sure Somalia and Ethiopia will be co-operating since have agreement and Kenya pretty much the Ethiopians can go in themselves if corruption in Kenya becomes obstacle.. And djibouti and Sudan of course is most protective of peace in Ethiopia, since is best and biggest customer. Look how diplomatic he is behind the cameras: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ethiopia is a broke state which has its own problems currently. The only thing it exports to Somaliland is khat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tillamook Posted January 17, 2018 ^ Saalax, salaam sxb. I wanna know your thoughts on the recent security pact signed between Sudan and Ethiopia vis-à-vis Egypt’s likely non-cooperation with the GERD, and how this could affect the proposed projects in Berbera by the Emirates, who are close allies of the Egyptians. Is the proposed Emirate military base in Berbera permanently on hold now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone willing to educate our people (regardless of the job situation), is doing us a favor. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
