If that is the will of Somaliland (& the Somali people) and Ethiopians, then congratulations!!
Otherwise caution is advised if its a ploy by Abiy/Shane to create more conflict with neighbors...especially amongst the Somali people who are closest neighbors/competitors to the Abiy/Shane Greater Oromia expansionists.
However, why are PP/Shane & TPLF supporters constantly mentioning Eritrea or trying to deflect to Eritrea?? It seems Abiy/PP/TPLF are acting like ex-girlfriends still obsessed with Eritrea??
The past few months we saw the unhinged Abiy(PP/Shane/TPLF) using various platforms/media including national media to go public about his desires (for the sea & more
) and also publicly crying about the rejection he recieved?? The unhinged Abiy Ahmed was all over the place making insinuated threats while at the same time making offerings/concessions for airlines/Gerd-Dam/land (basically offering his 
)...only to end up being offputting to all his neighbors 
(and completely ignored by the one neighbor he really had in mind 
) Now he & supporters are jumping up and down to tell Eri that he has found someone new. Before the ink dried on the MOU...DefendTheToob(
) was among the first to rush to this forum to say Eri missed out & to show off the new ring
...others joining to say same and some claiming Eri jealous or if it doesn't go thru its Eri fault?? Even the agame TPLF likes of Zack/AgameMan/Deqi-Arayit trying to cosign Eri to their arguments...even the derivative *diqala union/Misraq...even Horus?? *side note there is nothing wrong to be a diqala, just don't hide it to pit others in conflict.My 2 cents is that Abiy could have easily included Somalia in the discussions or gone to Mogadishu to discuss with Somaliland reps present?...maybe they did discuss behind closed doors and some are playing dumb for show??...even the Naggy former US Ambassador came out quick to congratulate...while current US reps say they urge caution & support Somalia. Does this flagrantly expansionist approach embolden Abiy to go around carving out regions from other neighboring countries?? The rhetoric he spit out for months against Eri on his national medias is evident of his intentions...even though he said he might not be able to achieve them now (even passing the expansionist ambition to future children). Yet some of you wonder why some Eritreans react the way they do towards offensive Ethiopian politicians (& their supporters)??
(Anyways, its been months and Abiy & supporters are still waiting to hear from the Man
that saved them 3 times ...and even agame TPLF were/are claiming to have seen aberrations of the Man in Mekelle )
Just some words of advice...Abiy/Shane/TPLF (& any other like minded expansionists) don't make the mistake of showing up uninvited to the annual February Fenkil celebrations or any events in Eritrea especially on the Eritrean Sea (Red Sea) now or ever...and for those of you hoping to try after Isayas, know that there will be an even stronger Red Sea King to face you & to dash your envious dreams of other's land/sea!!
Stop with the fake victimhood of being denied access to the sea, all neighboring countries welcome your business as long as it negotiated and beneficial to both sides...and due to your Abiy/Shane/TPLF miscalculation, seems you have to pay market value for services even from nations that offered you next to free pricing. However no one accepts your expansionist attempts of ownership of theirs or others established countries lands/territories/coasts.
Even on this forum many Eri suggested Ethio to use multiple ports long ago and many times (more so than Ethios on forum)...because logically that would mean more options for ethiopia & lesser chances of conflict in region...but i guess we all don't think the same, others interpreted that as go carve out lands/sea from neighbors.
If it was up to me...non-expansionist Amhara and/or other Ethiopians ใi.e. only those that respect Eritrea(ns)ใ talk to us on the side...you get discounted price, just dont bring any agame TPLF with you on market & port unloading days
Why should you be denied access to business while The 7th King Abiy wants to build a multi-billion palace, while creating conflicts for others.
In fact i was wondering why that thought hadn't occurred to you ever since Abiy started behaving erratic. These thoughts crossed my mind when Abiy gave parliament address about building palace with his billions funding that no one is allowed to ask the source of...it was evident to me then to work on trade/business while defending territories and not waiting around for Abiy/PP/Shane administration to get things moving, since they were more interested in creating conflicts. Now the question is would Abiy/PP/Shane/TPLF have a problem with those in the north doing non-conflict business/trades with neighboring countries without their involvement/approval/oversight??
