I'm glad to see happening, and the best about this is we will continue to make more and more money as Ethiopia develops and their import needs increase

Hopefully it goes through. Remember an MOU is not a legally binding contract,it's a memorandum of understanding.

Ethiopia just wants to place pressure on Djibouti to lower its prices. They will not be shifting away from Djibouti anytime soon. They have invested too much in the Djibouti corridor. I think Djibouti is building a new port to service the growing Ethiopian market. The Ethiopians even invested a couple of billion into the new railway. This is not to say Berbera corridor cannot compete, just that Djibouti has a head start of a few decades. It also has the problem of being located beyond the Ahmar mountains making the construction of a railroad very expensive. While Djibouti's link runs along the Rift Valley. What is likely to happen is the construction of a highway link between Addis and Berbera. Good thing if fully developed :nvjpqts:
