The Arab and Ethiopians are great brothers who took huge risks making a deal with an isolated unrecognized de facto state which doesn't have access to international facilities.Somaliland has no leverage and offers little to no legal security for investments.But know they opened the doors for other investors who are eying to invest in many of Somalilands underdeveloped sectors.
The Berbera port DP world deal is a gateway to many other prospects that were out of reach for SL before.UAE gets 51% because they will be building the port,roads and a military base giving SL new weapons bypassing the weapons embargo.That is how much they are investing compared to us.Ethiopia gets 19% as a guarantee from the SL goverment that Ethiopia can savely use the port for majority of its imports and exports.This is good news since Ethiopia is considered a rising manufacturing power and we will be the access to their market.Its a huge win.
Plus,Somaliland is the only country in the world that is debt free and the only country in sub sahara Africa that fully funds its operations budget and doesn’t receive general budget support from developed countries.We are free from the worst kinds of foreign aid that increase your international debt.Why the f*ck would Somaliland shoot itself in the foot by uniting with the shithole Somalia that has a huge debt and no future prospects?

@Itachi who was calling Somalilanders apes and monkeys throughout his arguments.
