If Ethiopia's ownership of a Naval Base is their worst nightmare, they sure will see that bad dream coming true. And they will be very much upset more than they are now. This is an elementary test that proves what kind of Ethiopia they have been wishing to see - weak, marginalized, land-locked, easy to manipulate using mercenaries, faking, spreading internal discords, etc. These are what they wanted to eternalize for Ethiopia, but everything is now collapsing under their feet for they are treacherous, insincere and greedy. How is Ethiopia having access to the sea hurt them, unless they themselves are hatching more disaster to inflict upon Ethiopia? The fact of the matter is, Ethiopia sure have Navy Base and access to the sea. No earthly law can stop this. And those of us failing for short-term interests must be careful not be locked out ourselves because of falling into the false traps of our enemies. An arch enemy first creates more enemies on its enemy- that is why so much unclarity prevails among Ethiopians, some lumps the quest for Access to the Sea with Abiy Ahmed and others yet make this as a stand alone national sovereignty agenda. The fact is, it is impossible to short sale national sovereignty interest for a short term political interest. Let Ethiopian Navy Roar in the Red Sea and the Gulf!
Sense of responsibility is lacking in your comments.
I don't know what you've started smoking lately. But your thoughts don't add up at all.
First, it has never been a question of ownership of the port that has been the main issue.
Ethiopia is accused of having violated agreed upon agreements both with its neighboring country Somalia and regional and international agreements that exist between nations.
In all fairness, I don't think, this is Abi's idea to begin with, but as usual the British are behind it. They love to leave behind unquenchable fire.
and they are good at finding scavengers.
Otherwise, no one in his right mind enters into such an agreement to lease a port for 50 years solely for use by a Navy. According to Somaliland, the agreement is only about the use of port for navy and not for trade.
How is this good for Ethiopia? One might ask. What will happen with all the investments that was made for Naval base if Somaliland refuse to renew the agreement.
Or is the idea once well established to throw the agreement into the sea and challenge Somaliland to dare throw the navy out from the port.
they do it to anyone anayway 
You recognized Somaliland as a sovereign country- good you are accepting the reality. Next, you have to wait for what will be unraveled in the detail.
