Several reports said that Eritrea want to be the richest nation using Ethiopian resources, and

I doubt it. If you trust middle-of-the-road TPLF eccentric Gebru Asrat, go ahead.

Yes, it is true that we Eritreans are following Singapore's model of economic development with emphasis on self-reliance, economic and political independence, rather than heavily relying on foreign aid like Ethiopia that has become the laughing stock of the civilized world.
"You hear people in Ethiopia say they don't care whether it rains in Ethiopia as long as it rains in Iowa," said Mesfin Abebe, an adviser to the prime minister in Ethiopia.
