Maakhiri, I thought when Farmaajo was less than 10 km from Somaliland border and he couldn't have the guts to cross it. For any sane person with an iota of brain cells, that could have signalled sometime but boy o boy, there are still folks who need it written in BIG BOLD LETTERS. I think it is about time Villa Somalia comes clean on its limitations, so folks like yourself are in line with reality. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old_Observer Posted March 1, 2018 "It feels darker before the sunrise" This is for everybody. Ethiopia is in trouble at home. This could be best opportunity for Somalia and or Somaliland. Djibouti is in trouble with USA and EU. This could be opportunity for Somalia and or Somaliland. Here is where the real and the fake leaders will separate. Everyone including Gheuelleh wants to squeeze Ethiopia, but all afaid if the screws driven too fast the wood will split and the whole piece of lumber will be useless. Somaliland has tto find a way through UK to get to USA. That could be end game. This is best time to do it. Somalia can stay with Djibouti, Ethiopia and get to China through Turkey. This is best time to do it. Most risky but return is greatest. Ethiopia should stay truelly neutral. The people on the ground should matter the most instead of politicians. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ethiopia would not do this without Djibouti green light. Ethiopia cannot use another port unless it owns the other port. That is why Ethiopia had to be shareholder. This will limit Ethiopia's business through Berbera to 20% at most. Djibouti has built already ports in the north which have separate agreements. The percentage there might be even higher for Djibouti. Kismayo Mogadishu would have been next, but very unlikely current conditions. In this new agreement, Ethiopia is not bound from developing new ports in other parts of horn. They must have Suakin and Kismayo in mind, but primarily will be Puntland. Puntland is critical for confidential or military or other materials. More security than Djibouti or Berbera for Ethiopia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
