Sissi works to forge an anti-Ethiopian front

[Bohol]

12/05/2017

Egyptian foreign minister Sameh Hassan Shoukry committed himself during a meeting with Eritrea’s foreign minister, Osman Saleh Mohamed, to strengthen bilateral ties with Asmara in exchange for the two countries’ forming a united front against Addis Ababa’s Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam project. With that same goal in mind, Shoukry flew to Kampala to ensure support from Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni during a summit meeting of the Nile Basin Initiative on May 25. He equally promised that Egyptian businessmen would invest in Uganda’s hotel sector. A delegation of corporate chiefs will shortly travel to Entebbe to sign partnership accords. Egyptian president Abdel Fattah al Sissi recently toured countries that signed a Cooperative Framework Agreement (see here) - Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda- to get them on his side. But for want of real investment firepower Egypt’s foreign policy may find itself limited.

President farmaajo met Egypt prime minister sherif Ismail at London conference

Egypt is getting very desperate, they opened fire on Sudanese works inside the Sudanese border a while ago so the Sudanese are pissed off with them

They reinvited farmaajo lol most likely wondering if they could get a nice deal out of this administration like they did back in 2015

The Somali officials said that there is a nine-million hectare area of unexploited cultivable land in Somalia that Egypt can exploit as a model farm.

I'm on Ethiopia's side in this case. Fat Arabs should stick their fat Arab business and not destabilise an already volatile region.

That's 35,000 sqmiles, that's the size of a small country!!! This is what I'm talking about when I say Somalis are shameless and corrupt. Nacallah tuug idinku yaal.

 

[Somali psycho]

I don't trust Ethiopia, and I will never trust Egypt. We should use this issue as a bargaining chip and get the best deal for a.

I don't trust Ethiopia either, but if I had to choose, I would choose them over greasy treacherous Arabs who only come to us when they need support.

1) Trade does not = famine its lack of security (Gate keepers , shop owner raising prices , shabab blocking access) as well and people having lack of funds to buy food

2) we have enough food the problems is we cant get food and water in time to the people that need it ( more people have died of desease than hunger)

3) our trade deficit is massive with ethiopia we need to increase tax of those kinda goods not reduce the amount we sell them.

Egypt are only trine use us against the xabshis, we should take advantage of this and use both them

I'm confused, are you saying the produce of Somali farmers from Bay iyo Bakool is being sold in Ethiopia or are you saying AID is being stolen from those regions and being diverted to Ethiopia?

They have like 43 different foreign ministers saying 48 different things, they left the moaning about the dam bit too late.
