Sharing is Caring: Awash river 'canal' into Somalia

[DubatDiaries]

With the whole talk recently of “brotherly countries” and Somalia potentially making space for a port for Ethiopian use *in a way that respect Somalias sovereignty (whatever the hell that means). I think its time Somalia starts requesting “favours" on account of its geographic limitations too.

In the spirit of ‘friendship’ and ‘brotherhood’, Ethiopia is to agree on cannaling the Awash river into Somalia. This would be a great way to get a year round watercourse into the north/northeast since that entire section of Somalia has no perennial rivers or lakes and basically relies on groundwater.

Also, the river empties into a salt lake - might as well divert some of the water beforehand. Its not like you are asking for too much …..

Option A: Hargeisa, LA and Garowe. This is a guesstimate of their location on the map

Option B: Jijiga, DB, Galkacyo, Garacad or Hobyo. I like this one more ....... no reason

Never both, thats a bit of a shameless request.

it would work better if it is a pipeline than a canal. less cost and less evaporation in the hot sun.
