UAE and Djibouti trade/investment totally one sided, for these reasons Dubai World to recover the seized assets minimal, a bit surprised they rejected compensation but understandable the lose is existential treat
China with the deepest pockets determined to eliminate the middle man, Djibouti was totally neglected by Dubai World it was fastest growing deep port, Dubai world can't do much here. the politics side is all noise it will die down soon as usual the Arabs wake up too late and get emotional and start drawing money all over the place with no plans, if they invested Djibouti as the shipping volume started to grow rabidly China will never taken over, what did the shallow Badawien do? divert shipping lines to Jabel Ali and play half smart.
