IOG is cashing in View attachment 260365View attachment 260367
Whilst the first lady of Djibouti is sending weapons to help her kin, it's in Djibouti's interests to make sure that Berbera doesn't become competition so IOG will stoke the flames as much as possible.
This is what Ismaaciil Cumar Geelle, said about Berbera in 2017.
Question: There is another commercial war, the one that the United Arab Emirates is delivering to the port of Djibouti. The Emirati are present in Assab in Eritrea, Berbera in Somaliland and they are eyeing Aden in Yemen. Objective: capture your traffic. Are you aware of the danger?
"It did not escape us. But I remain serene. In order for the port of Berbera to capture the Ethiopian market, the 280 km of road connecting the port to the Ethiopian border must be rebuilt at the rate of one and a half million dollars per kilometer, or more than 400 million. Who will pay? In addition, the draft required for large vessels, including tankers, is 12 km off Berbera while it is immediate in Djibouti. The comparative advantage is clearly in our favor"
