Ethiopia is doing well. I can't hate or knock them.

It's just free game when it comes to globalization. Anyone can buy from an Ethiopian Trading firm.

I need "X" units of "X" Agro at "X" time.

Somalia isn't an enemy to Ethiopia. International commodity traders are. And I can bet my life he won't accept that
They only depend on agriculture, they have nothing else, that's why he's very defensive when he hears non Ethiopians (especially Somalis) branding and selling Ethiopian products, but if u look at it already there's tons of foreigners doing that, it's how globalization works

There's Somalis exporting Somali goods and branding them Ethiopian. Where there's a will there's a way.

It's just not sustainable. But you should ask him why Ethiopia is not a WTO member country and just an Observer.

@Menelik III Why are you an Observer nation?

Here's the link:https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/whatis_e/tif_e/org6_e.htm

Focus on becoming a member state. It will help Somali exporters greatly.

Please start adding value to your products because some white girl in Vancouver is making money hand over fist by branding Teff to growing zombified health market.

The last thing you need is for Orange County housewives to start going crazy over this stuff and spike that commodities price.

If Ethiopia signed a free trade agreement with Somalia

that makes sure that Somali businesses will never be discriminated against

(no overcharged rent for places, or local cops ignoring paid for vandalism and other little things happening in S.Africa)

... I would be happy to sign a border agreement if the FTA is built into it.



The only thing of materialistic value in the Somali region is natural gas and the rivers.

The rivers don't provide even a fraction of what we need to irrigate enough land to feed us.

The natural gas would cost far too much to export and the region is already saturated with pipes to Europe.

Rather have it fed to local power plants where both neighbors could make use of the cheap power.

This would never happen if we're still at "war" like atm.

The region could be a huge industrial park with millions of new jobs.


We get access to 90 million consumers and Ethiopia gets rid of a big headache (since you know you won't be able to keep us down forever).

Lol teff comes from more than Ethiopia like coffee it originated in Ethiopia but is produced in a few countries and they do have vadded teff for bread and injera which they export through Ethiopian airlines. What national company or even any company does Somalia have?

Lol Somalia offering up bonds.

Even Somali's wouldn't buy them; forget the global credit market.

Once we have a stable country with a regular tax revenue over a few billions ....then maybe some crazy risky outfits would probably spend 100k out of their 1 billion dollar annual credit fund.

The free trade agreement would benefit Ethiopia more than Somalia since Ethiopia would export to Somalia and through it. What would Somalia gain?

Those items they're shipping out through Somalia were mostly built in factories in Ethiopia owned by Somali entrepreneurs.

Diaspora bonds would probably work after Farmaajo's third year.

His government needs to earn trust from the diaspora first.

If he's our guy then we'd be happy to help with viable projects.

Every untapped resource of Somalia puts a shadow over Ethiopia. We don't need companies at the moment, we need CEOs and a great leader to build a vision unique to Somalia.

Focus on yourself and helping your country. Because the last time I checked, Ethiopias GDP per capita in 1991 was $170 when Somalias was double that with a collapsed government.
