With debates like this you gotta stick with the stats and not through away every stat you dislike as you believe it's fraud and etc.That's a very immature way to argue.There will be many more reports in the future and so don't really press on it.
As for SL give it 5 years and the Berbera corridor alone will uplift the country and surpass PL.As for the other developments none of you mentioned these which will 100% be completed in the set time frames.

The report was right and your report is saying the same that SL is focusing on agriculture in the rural areas and professional skills in hargeisa due to the government. What else are u going to 'export' to Ethiopia that 'Djibouti' doesn't?
PL is focusing on the lucrative 'DDSI livestock trade' as that is a large 'product' we want to secure and possibly importing 'cars and technology' being the next item of importance or product value, since DDSI is going to be an oil producing state, if governed well, wealth will increase and so will consumption and PL and DDSI will do business because not only are we 'related' by clan, but we have a 'shared alliance' in Kismayo which can become 'comprised' if they don't turn away their 'trade' to Berbera.
We don't mind they send the oil thru Djibouti and get Djibouti to enjoy a tax from it. But the actual internal market of DDSI especially around big products such as cars and technology will be 'contracted' to Garacad port. U r wasting your time with DDSI since u have no 'geopolitical' interest for Absame and there is nothing your trade will do to effect them, where-as if DDSI begins rejecting Garacad it may have huge effect on JL stability and the 'kab iyo lax alliance'.
The only major winner in all of this is DDSI who will play 3 ports of each other djibouti/berbera/garacad and bring it down to such levels never seen before where it no longer benefits the port owners of any region however 'PL' is special as we have 'geopolitical' card to play which is 'kista' where-as you 'got nothing to play' and he can dump you quick as hell with no ramifactions and relocate his livestock to 'galdogob' customs as they travel thru the mudug plains of to garacad to export.
Plus we will also ensure PL owns the 'large' product markets of DDSI that needs to be imported be it 'equipments, tech, medicine, cars' those 4 are major motherfuckers that Majerten will not concede to anyone and at least we have 'geopolitical card' to play with Absame to get him locked in so he can continue running JL without PL problems.
