Zemen,

Djibouti is not offering us a port, she is begging us to remain as friends. Ditto. Djibouti knows very very well what Ethiopia needs- not a commercial port but a Navy base. Ditto. She is not offering us a long term military base because she knows sooner or later Djibouti is going to merge with Ethiopia. Ethiopian navy base will simply hasten that process. Now, she knows the Somaliland deal is inevitable, she is trying to be friendly with Ethiopia not burn the bridge with us. Any further hostility with Ethiopia will simply cost her her very existence. Ethiopia fully understand her anxiety and will continue to use the current port as well as Tdjoura with her navy next door. That is what djibouti meant by 'Ethiopia needs 10 ports" !!!

I can mention 4 reasons 2 start.
1-Djibouti's only survival method of income is money coming from ports fees from ethiopia, so if you take that away from it it's useless, that's why it doesn't want ethiopia 2 go 2 somaliland
2-Z port it's offering is close 2 my Eritrea so it's hitting 2 birds with one stone
3-Omer guelleh was born in ethiopia and got a lot of businesses and khat farms in ethiopia.
4- Djibouti doesn't want a united and strong Somalia. I can mention more this is just z tip of z iceberg..... :lol: :mrgreen:

The offer from Djibouti has to be accepted but should not prevent Ethiopia from reinstating the Assab port and making similar deals with Somalia, Sudan and Kenya. Ethiopia has the bargaining power to get good deals with our neighbors, except with Eritrea which we should snatch Assab from it by force.

Djibouti is playing ethiopia like a YO-YO.
Djibouti knows that Ethiopia let alone a military base but also won’t get access to the sea while paying its due fees like Ethiopia pays Djibouti as we speak.
So it is playing it diplomatic cards to sweeten the landlocked country.
In other words Djibouti is telling Ethiopia don’t “yelaiun lawird sitle yebibutwan talech”.
I know things will not change in Ethiopia’s favors how much twisting bu’tt Ethiopia does. What I want is that the Eritrean 🇪🇷 govt won’t allow Ethiopia when it finally come to its senses and beg to use Eritrea’s ports.
Eritrea doesn’t need Ethiopia’s usage of our ports to prosper. As our population is not exploded like the 120 million rats 🐀 Ethiopians we are in a process to use our ports for the thousands of ships which travel the Red Sea dry docks, cargos transfers ports, fuel refills, resting areas etc and we can make lots of money to prosper and feed our people.
So, Eritrea 🇪🇷 should not ever let Ethiopia use our ports for ever…..at least for a century and see what happens then after.

Djibouti is NOT offering or giving war-torn landlocked Ethiopia access to a new port, Move your goods from Djibouti port to Tadjoura port doesn't mean offering a new port.

___ First question should be " Why did not Djibouti offer a port before, but now?"

___ Second Question, why is the current Somaliland- Ethiopia or Italian-Somalia -Ethiopia issue her business and try to put her nose in such a hot and bigger than herself?

I guess, Djibouti learnt the inevitable truth that Ethiopia will have access to the Red Sea, not just only port(s) but also a naval base. Thus, Djibouti wants to abort the effort of Ethiopia to own one in the Red Sea. And also, Djibouti now learnt it cannot blackmail Ethiopia by irrationally charging unfair port fees. In other words, Djibouti is attempting not to become irrelevant.

Besides, Egypt, Italian Somalia and Shabia-Eritrea could have given her a mission to trick Ethiopia and stop her attaining her effort.

All her too good to be true nonsense should not be related with the current Ethiopian effort. But, if Djibouti wants she can do so without attachment of any strings to it. After all, Djibouti is in reality part of Ethiopia. She is eating what Ethiopia is eating, breathing and drinking what Ethiopia is breathing, she is like a fetus attached attached to its mother with an umbilical cord. She better be careful.

The port of Djibouti used to be administrated by Dubai DP then Djibouti and UAE had differences and Djibouti kicked out UAE. UAE never forgive Djibouti for kicking DP. UAE agreed with Eritrea and Assab was under UAE. However, Eritrea kicked out UAE after the five years lease was expired. UAE never wanted to leave Assab, but Eritrea insisted that UAE leaves Assab. Once, UAE was out of Assab, UAE invested fulltime on Somalia land and built state of an art port in Somalia land. Now the port is ready but there is no one to use the port and generate income. UAE needs the port to be active and usable. Here is where Ethiopia comes. Ethiopia is not interested on port or access to the sea. All Ethiopia doing is batting on behalf of UAE. If Ethiopia to use Somalia land's port, then, the port of Djibouti will become decommissioned effectively. Therefore, Djibouti got creative and offered Ethiopia a port that is 100 % managed by Ethiopia, however, you would think Ethiopia and Abiy will jump in joy, but Ethiopia didn't even comment on the Djibouti's offer. Ethiopia never is/was about the port but everything to do with being a salve to UAE. UAE is giving billions to Abiy, Not to Ethiopia. Once the useless Ethiopian parliaments ask Abiy about the money that was coming from UAE and the stupid and childish leader of Ethiopia and shamelessly told the parliament it is not their business. What Ethiopians didn't know is the country is sold to UAE. Ethiopia has the right to use any port in the red sea but insisted on Somalia land's port. So, for those of you think Abiy is acting for the best interest of Ethiopia and Ethiopians, you are taken to the house. Ethiopia is fighting the fight of UAE and Djibouti and Djibouti buried Abiy and UAE with this creative and brilliant idea of offering a port for Ethiopia that is 100% managed by Ethiopia. I didn't know Djibouti had it. Port of Djibouti is useless without Ethiopia and Somalia land's port is useless without a use of Ethiopia and Djibouti wins hands down and Ethiopia is left with a bloody nose and hamulated.

Djibouti wants Ethiopia to pay for the new port construction and new roads to access the port, then cancel the contract and award it to China for more lucrative deals. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Isn't that what Djibouti did to the UAE that the disgruntled Emirates are now luring Ethiopia away from Djibouti to exact their revenge? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

When con artists get conned themselves, is it considered a Karma? :P :P

3-Omer guelleh was born in ethiopia and got a lot of businesses and khat farms in ethiopia.
I did not know that they do khat farms and business in Ethiopia.

I have wondered and opined a long time ago what it means to ask for a visa in the middle of Ogaden if an Ethiopian from Hararghe wanted a day trip to the coast of Somalia to see the ocean or a Somali from Mogadishu wanted a day trip to the highlands of Hararghe to buy fresh khat.

Now, I wonder if President Omer Guelleh or his delegate is asked for a visa somewhere between Djibouti and Dirre Dawa if they wanted a day trip to his khat farm in Ethiopia.

If California were a nation in the world today, its economy would be the fifth largest, behind Japan and ahead of India.

It wasn’t one of the States that founded the United States. A group of leaders in California got together and wrote to those States that formed it that California wanted to join it as a State, according to a story of the Pony Express. California delegates rode horses over days to deliver the document.

Ronald Reagan was a Governor of California before he became the Presidential leader of the United States and a dealer with the former USSR.

Some states with much bigger economies want to join for an economy of scale or other reasons and some states with much lesser economies want to remain nominal economies.

I wonder what the analyses of some enlightened people in Djibouti might be about this simple analogy and challenge.

Because it is scared that the current path that clown Abiy is taking would destroy Ethiopia and that would consequently destroy Djibouti. For Djibouti is nothing but a port for Ethiopia. If that goes, where will it leave them.

So, if Ethiopia needs is port, Djibouti is offering one, why not Ethiopia is not accepting the Djibouti's offer? I agree with you but what I wanted to point it out is that Abiy couldn't give a flying hoot about the Interest of Ethiopia or port for Ethiopia. All Abiy is doing is betting for his Arab boyfriend. It is sad most Ethiopians taken for a ride by this stupid Abiy. Even more funny is Abiy celebrated Sovereignty Day. All countries celebrate Independence Day because at one point they were colonized by others. However, Ethiopia never been colonized what is the need to celebrate sovereignty day?

Zemen,

You are right on the money. Great analysis. I knew somehow UAE was behind this. I also wondered about the fall out between Isayas and the sheik of UAE.

The fall out between Eritrea and UAE is that when the UAE got kicked out of Djibouti, UAE leased Assab supposedly to be short term. When the term of the lease expired in the 5th year, Eritrea asked UAE to leave the port of Assab. UAE wasn't happy for getting kicked out of Assab. UAE wanted for longer terms and didn't expect Eritrea to act. on this issue, UAE and Eritrea fall out of their diplomatic relations. Abiy is betting for UAE on two fronts. one the Somila land and the other Assab front in which both are desired and caveated by the UAE. So, in the meanwhile Ethiopians are taken for ride.
