Re: ☺️ The Costs of Ethiopia's Poor Man's Arrogance ☺️
Hey, you want to hear something funny?
From 2016 to 2021, Eritrea allowed the UAE to park its navy ships at the Assab Port for $ Half a Billion dollars a year in Parking Fees. No contracts, No lease, No military base, just Parking.
During the same period, Ethiopia was paying the UAE over One Billion dollars a year to use Djibouti's port, which was leased to the UAE under a 30-year port operations contract.
For 5 long years, the UAE received $ One Billion dollars from Ethiopia every year and gave half of that money to Eritrea in Parking Fees. Ching! Ching!
In other words, Ethiopia borrowed billions of dollars every year, only to see half of the money go to Eritrea without having to set foot at the Assab Port. You borrow, we save!
The well-orchestrated scheme went on for over 5 years and Ethiopia had no idea that it was indirectly paying Eritrea $ Half a Billion dollars a year!
High IQ nations like to play cruel jokes on nations led by low IQ individuals.
You are justified to feel inferior when you seek to cover it with a poor man's arrogance.
