I always knew their newfound relationship with China would come back biting them in the ass. The US is fixed on undermining Chinese presence in Africa. I wonder why they're not that concerned in Afghanistan or Sudan. The Chinese are writing million dollar copper contracts in Afghanistan while the US still have their troops there. Interesting. US foreign policy is very messy.
It finally has.
The entire success rate of the Ethio-Kenyan expansionism lies in one man's hands, the Djibouti president Guelleh.
1. Ethiopia's financial progress and economic development depends on Guelleh, in order to steal and transport Ogaden oil and gas via Djibouti straight to India and China. The somali ports will also ve used for this purpose.
Guelleh is steadily merging Djibouti with Ethiopia for their miltary protection. The habashi are slowly annexing Djibouti under the guise of "bilateral-trade and security co-operation. Habasha soldiers now have unrestrcited access to enter Djibouti without any prior authorization as long as they keep him in power if a colour reveolution/arab spring should ever reach him.
Little does Guelleh know, that he has also become too big for his boots and is now in the crosshair of some heavy-weight neo-cons who .H.A.T.E. china more than anything (these are the military industrial complex / intelligence agency boys who are backing Trump, hence his rantings about China china china.)
2. Kenya has racked up so much debt due to the large infrastructure projects such as trains, energy, airport, ports, that it's absolutely impossible for them to repay that back within the next 150 years...Unless they pit all somalis against one another by using a combination of bribery and qabil. Case in point recently, the whole "rogue politician want's to recognize somaliland trick." Nothing happens by accident Politics and this was in fact engineered by Kenyatta himself to put pressure on HSM, but to further split and divide our people.
People must understand, that agitating one qabil against another, ALWAYS comes with a suitcase of money, setting up a relative of a sultan in the U.S than subsequently promising to drop charges if they go along etc.
Cadaans play dirty, and most of the elders and sultans mentally operate up to the year 1925.
Guelleh is handing out military bases left and right in order to curry favour with the superpowers, and to accrue income as him and his family aren't very good at state building. One family's corruption hinders the progress of almost a million people.
A few months after that letter was written (by some of Trump's most ardent backers who are also some of the most hawkish players in DC, Guelleh found himself very ill and was treated secretely in France. I have a suspicion, but can't confirm, that it's cancer, similar to hugo chavez, Ernesto Kirchner et al.
So if Guelleh passes away, the Chinese and soon to be Russian military base (insanity,) will all be rolled back. The Djibouti Ogaden-Djibouti natural gas and oil pipelines will be reversed, in the event of conflict, no more reer ciisse.
I don't wish death on anyone, but I wouldn't be sad when he goes.
Little do most know, that Guelleh is the very key to our peoples demise as he's STILL french intelligence...
