Somalia and Ethiopia signed an agreement exchanging Khat and Fish.

[Abu Hesi]

I love Ethiopian coffee, why can't we trade for their freaking beans instead of narcotics. Uff caleyk, ceeb walaahi.

 

[kickz]

So apparently It's a trade contract that states they'll export their khat to us, we'll export our fish to them, and we'll get money in exchange, minimizing our trade imbalance.

Still annoying that Khat is legal. I guess Khat is like our alcohol so makes no sense.

Still a retarded deal

 

[Ferrari]

low IQ trade.

viva walaalo Ethiopia.

 

[xoxoboredgirl]

Smart Ethiopians. Give your retarded neighbors more drugs so they can't run their country properly and take their nutritious fish since they already look down on it and clearly don't want to take advantage of their long coastline only Somalis would see this as good trade

wallahi, what a shitty deal. tasty, nutritious fish in return for f-ing haraam khat??

It’s estimated that 90 percent of adult males in the autonomous region of Somaliland chew khat for mirqaan, the Somali word for its euphoric effect.

Somaliland has a chronic unemployment problem – about 75 percent of its workforce are jobless – although this doesn’t deter people from a monthly khat habit that can cost $300 a month.

Somaliland spends $524m a year – about 30 percent of its gross domestic product – on khat from Ethiopia, said Weli Daud with the Somaliland Ministry of Finance.

Khat has become so enmeshed with Somaliland’s culture and daily life it has become an important tax earner for the government. In 2014, khat sales generated 20 percent of the $152m budget.

Somaliland khat

Narcotic plant is a huge tax-revenue earner that bolsters the region’s economy, but also disrupts family life.

Granted the FGS effectively subsidizes the fishing industry, Khat is the most lucrative export of Ethiopia so they want to form a monopoly between the countries.

Your fiend state even uses Islam to do khat business.

“For example, the main importer brands his khat under the name of 571, which refers to the year the prophet Mohammed was born (cf. Anderson et al., 2007:59). Similarly, another khat brand, now out-competed during a price war with the 571 brand, was marketed under the name of B611, which refers to the year when the prophet Mohammed received his first revelation.”

Inform us, you seem to be an economist.

Investment and an airport promised in Warsheikh.

Rumours seem to be amxaaro natural resources minister who was not shown on camera came with foreign investors and the somali ministers escorted them up there to have a look

turns out what i was told isnt far off. These are the same ministers that went to warsheikh not long ago. Fgs ministers who are trying to exploit hirshabelles rich coastline is what i see.

The brittle and the discoloration of the Fisheries Minister's teeth is a dead giveaway that he is deficient in Calcium phosphate minerals which fish is the main source.

I am not, but afaik the deal is simply about allowing Somali fisheries access to the Ethiopian market, an in such a volume that allows to decrease our current trade deficit with Ethiopia.

 

[Mercury]

somali politicians and ministers making deals like this to fill their pockets should be jailed

ethiopia already making 500$ million a year from selling khat to somalis and now wanna take advantage of the coastline and fish only an idiot would think this is a smart trade
