Dawi,
u r wrong ...Sabur saying if they got the right leader.. issu time come and gone.. so he doesnt expected anything out of issu that is what he mean.. even Singapore is developed because of one man. Ethiopia developed because of one man, Rwanda developed because one man vision ... in Singapore case when the leader asked can he done what he did in last 30 years .. the great leader said i cant because i have soft people . in old time we have driven people who will die for mama Singapore .. who share their cloth to go out and work because they dont have two cloth they share one for two this kind of people developed Singapore..
i am afraid those driven citizen are died or old now .. the time to develop Eritrea long gone because u cant get that kind of deducted citizen hence it would be hard to develop Eritrea now but it is not impossible... issu is not reliable guy.. he does all kind of crazy thing ...
for Eritrea to make it issu must change first .. he must admit he is junior partner and never get involved in Ethiopia politics as he did last week ... it was his greatest mistake but he will be forgiven if he make ten right move.. for now he must make bold move may be lease the part of Assab to Ethiopia for 50 years. let Ethiopia develop it this way issu can take business away from Djibouti otherwise their is zero use of Assab for Ethiopia Djibouti is the most effective port for Ethiopia .. already their is train line why would any one want to export coffee in Assab port when they could do it in half price in Djibouti port ...
as Dawit said we should start industrial zone and may be start manufacturing and export this product thru Assab port ...giving industrial zone to Ethiopia is not even bad idea in fact give everyone industrial zone why do the Eritrea care if the Chinese set up shop in Assab and export their goods to Arab country and West countries... the should make their port city free zone free industrial zone .. if they want progress all they could ask is getting employment ... first round of investors might get free industrial zone the next one start paying or start leasing or even getting fee for port service would have been much profitable then charging them lease to setup shop..
unlike Ethiopian i see great hope for Eritrea because they dont have buda people like us who opposed our own progress.. the Eritrea will die first this attitude will take them place if issu change fast and use Dr.Abiy second opportunity and make Eritrea great again..
Eritrea might take as u said 1000 mw electric for port service but the Eritrea doesn't need all this power so they can sale it or they can supply industrial zone and make money that way... it is all win win all we have to do is make it happened ..
to this to happened the Amhara also must hold their horses and never claim Assab as Ethiopia and always willing to pay for service this simple act will take us place otherwise ታጥቦ ጭቃ ነው።
