What happened to port of Assab? You see how ignorant you are. Why did PP stop talking about the port of Assab? you see Assab was an agenda for ignorant people like you. Now, the natural gas is dead, and your new agenda is the nuclear B.S. I am sure you will be all over it.

Somalia betrayed both Egypt and Eritrea. This time around, Abbiy will recognize Somali Land. The Somalian people will be the next victim. Recognized or not, Somali Land is still surviving.

Zemen,
How many times do we have to tell you a very simple truth that Assab is an Ethiopian property. When and how we are going to repossess this property of ours is our own decision. So save your anxiety. ሞት በዘገይ የቀረ ይመስላታል አሉ አባባ በውቀቱ!!!

This meeting was driven primarily by the influence of the United Arab Emirates. The UAE seeks to punish Djibouti, as we refused to yield to their demands we asserted that our land and our ports are ours alone. Having now invested heavily in Berbera, the Emiratis are eager for Ethiopia to expand its use of the Berbera Port; that, in essence, is what this entire manoeuvre is about.

The second point concerns Ethiopia’s position on the Memorandum of Understanding. In light of the backlash from Somalia, Egypt, and even China, Addis Ababa can no longer afford to pursue the MOU in its previous form. Consequently, any arrangement granting Ethiopia direct access to the sea through Somaliland is, for all practical purposes, off the table at least within our lifetime. Ethiopia cannot recognise Somaliland’s independence, and Somaliland, for its part, will not surrender its coastline for anything less than full recognition. Therefore, no meaningful agreement can emerge from this impasse.

Furthermore, President Hassan’s recent visit to Addis Ababa appears to have included discussions with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, reportedly focusing on Jubbaland and regional matters. It seems Hassan may have tacitly approved Ethiopia’s ambitions for sea access. Yet, the geopolitical realities are clear: Somaliland will never allow Ethiopia proximity to the Red Sea or the Bab el-Mandeb Strait without recognition. Ethiopia has nothing tangible to offer Somaliland that could justify such a concession.

Berbera was developed to generate revenue from Ethiopian trade if Ethiopia were to secure its own sea access, so the discussion would be that even if ethiopia gets a se aout let via Somaliland they cant cant have their own port , but only for an navy, Somaliland would, in effect, undermine its own economy. For that reason, such an arrangement is neither logical nor sustainable, and it is highly unlikely to materialise.

Zach,

You are right. I have nothing against the people of Somalia. They need a brave president, not the coward and opportunist president, they currently have. It back fired. Didn’t it.

How Somalia betrayed Egypt and Eritrea? if the illiterate Galla recognize northern Somalia, then Somalia will immediately recognize Somali State.
The Somali people will be the next victim
This is nonsense, Somalia can easily handle Gallas and war-torn Ethiopia, Somalis will take care of Galla animals, Remember, Somalia is not Eritrea and Somalis are not Eritreans.

Don't say nonsense.

No, Ethiopia will have a sea access of her own in our life time, in fact, in the coming few years. why? how?S

Ethiopia will have many commercial ports she can use and a navy base.

Somalis will continue to divide into more clan based city states each with its own port. All of these more that 10 or so Somali ports are economically meaningless unless used by Ethiopia.

Sure enough, currently the focus of Ethio-Somaliland deal is Berbera.

Adawl state is the historical Adal sultanate so closely tied to Ethiopian history. The Adal (Adwal) Somalis were residents of Harar during the days of Zeila. The Adals are willing to provide Ethiopia port access but within a united Somalian state. Now they are waging war to separate from Somaliland and I don't think Abiy will support Irro against Adwals.

So, the central issue within the Somalis is not whether or not giving sea access to Ethiopia. It is how?

Hassan Sheik might make a deal with Adwal that Ethiopia build its navy there and Adwal joins as a Somalian state. In the mean time Somalilanders can continue close economic and strategic relations with Ethiopia.

In short, Somaliland might lose territories such as Adwal. Ethiopia's long term strategy and policy is going to be to let Somalis sort out their own divisions and dynamics and form all sorts relations with every and all Somali clans and states.

This is true because with the economic potential of ports, discovery of oil and other maritime resources, the power and relative autonomy of each Somali region and city state can only grow stronger. It does not matter if these city states become independent counties or not.

Ethiopia is large enough to meet the needs of all of them and all of them have the potential to prosper as Eastern and Southern Ethiopia flourishes.

Everything is on the table for negotiation (or conflict) in Somali.

This has to be the most stupid mantra by people with the IQ of chimps. Horsey, you may repeat it a million times, just like a chimp, but you only claiming again and again that you are a chimp. But if any chimp gets close to our borders, leave alone cross it, በቂጡ ጥይት እናጎርሰዋለን። So why don't you try to take Assab instead of crying about it! You have been crying for 2 years now! Get some courage and start marching! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And why would we give a portion of our land to Ethiopia for what exactly even for our separatist friends in Somaliland it wont make sense the whole reason they once joint somalia in 1960 was because a decade ago haile selllasi annexd part of their land and add it to Ethiopia so they gave up their sovreignty to get that land back Google it hawd and reserve area . Ethiopia will remain landlockdd
