Ethiopia makes it clear it wants an own commercial port, it would mean the end of Berbera Port and the expected economic benefits Somaliland was seeking.

Nobody is against Ethiopia using Berbera Port and even acquiring a share in the Port Management, in fact this was offered to Ethiopia numerously.

I don’t think even anyone would be against Ethiopia basing a contingency of marines at the recently completed Berbera Military Port and Airport and contributing to regional security, like other militaries have presence on Somali bases in Mogadishu, Kismayo, Baidoa. They 

But clearly Abiy’s intentions go beyond having access and utilising a second port (Berbera) next to Djibouti, and they go beyond just stationing marines at the existing military base and airport in Berbera. Abiy envisions an expanded empire that annexes coastal lands in to Ethiopia, which is a recipe for disaster and regional instability.

Ethiopia has no money to build a port. to begin with so i dont think any one should worry about this now

Their intent was clear  from the get-go, and was for ownership. Implications: Not only Berbera, but Jibouti, Bosaso, Garacad, and Xamar too. A port by a hostile, functioning State would dwarf all other ports in the dysfunctional Somali peninsula.

-----------
There is a consensus between the TPLF and the Oromo regime in Addis Ababa to cooperatively seek the annexation of the Afar part of Eritrea to Tigray , as well as liberate Tigray from Ethiopia after controlling the Asseb port, while concurrently, the Oromo pushes eastward with conflicts into Somaliland. Their aim is to secure the Zella port before declaring independence.

O' my goodness, could someone please admit this person to a barmy detention centre for the insane, lock up, and throw away the keys in the Red Sea never to be retrieved?
