Bye bye Lamu port

[Mwanzi1]

Lappset has already sunk more than ksh 200 bn ($2bn). That money will never be recovered, its lost. This shows that kenya should not have built a project based on the advatages that accrue from conflict of its neigbours. when these conflicts are resolved, the project is lost.

It was the same thing with formation of CoW, when Tanzania was asking questions with some principal of EAC, Kenya decided to brand Tanzania as stubborn kid and they could offer better deal to Uganda and Rwanda. Now the dust has settled, Kenya is caught pants down.

By Uganda, Rwanda, South Sudan and now Ethiopia. The deal you offer them where more beneficial Kenya than those counties. Take example of crude pipeline. Tanzania agree to charge Uganda $12per barrel, Kenya wanted to charge Uganda $16 per barrel.

ERITREA AND ETHIOPIA TO RE-ESTABLISH DIPLOMATIC TIES

View attachment 806253
Eritrea and Ethiopia are to re-establish diplomatic and trade ties after two decades of hostility.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki made the announcement during a landmark meeting in Eritrea's capital, Asmara.

It is the first time the leaders from the two East African neighbours have met in almost 20 years.

Relations were severed following a border dispute which killed tens of thousands of people in the late 1990s.

A peace deal was signed in December 2000. However, Ethiopia refused to accept the final ruling of a border commission two years later, which awarded disputed territory to Eritrea, including the town of Badme.

A "no war, no peace" situation has existed between the two countries ever since.

Eritrea has national conscription, which can last indefinitely. This is one of the main reasons why so many Eritreans try to leave the country and seek asylum elsewhere.

Sunday's meeting, which follows a visit to the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, by an Eritrean delegation, comes after Mr Abiy said his country would accept the commission's ruling

This diplomatic initiative is the latest in a series of changes introduced by the Ethiopian prime minister since he came into office in April. Before then, it was unthinkable for Ethiopia to accept that Badme, the flashpoint for the conflict, was part of Eritrea.

Mr Abiy has also lifted a state of emergency, freed political prisoners and announced economic reforms.

In speeches broadcast live on state television on Sunday, Prime Minister Abiy and President Isaias said they had agreed to re-open embassies in their respective capitals, while landlocked Ethiopia will be allowed to use Eritrean ports on the Red Sea.

The two countries will also resume flights between each other, as well as direct phone connections.

The meeting was greeted with excitement in Eritrea, where thousands of people lined the streets singing and waving both countries' flags

Ethiopia and Sudan sign port agreement
08 May, 2018

Ethiopia signs agreements for Red Sea access.

Sudan and Ethiopia have agreed that Ethiopia should invest in the development and administration of Port Sudan, Sudan’s principal port on the Red Sea.

The agreement, made at the beginning of May, comes shortly after Ethiopia signed a deal with Djibouti to invest in Port Doraleh about 5 kms north west of port Djibouti.



Djibouti is looking for investors since it acrimoniously terminated its 30-year concession with Dubai’s DP World, one of the region’s largest port operators, to operate Port Doraleh. China, which already has a naval berth in Doraleh, is also looking at the possibility of investing in the facility.




About 70 per cent of Ethiopian trade goes through Djibouti’s ports. This is likely to increase following the inauguration in January 2018 of the new standard gauge Addis Ababa-Djibouti railway.




But Ethiopia is anxious to decrease its reliance on Djibouti and is also looking at other ports in the region. Berbera in Somaliland is also ripe for investment and has the advantage of being Ethiopia's nearest outlet to the Red Sea. Berbera is managed by DP World and is therefore destined to become more important since the Dubai company has been turned out of Djibouti. At the beginning of March Dubai, Ethiopia and Somaliland signed an agreement for the development of the port.




Access to the Red Sea has been a vital part of Ethiopian foreign policy since it became landlocked after Eritrean independence in 1993. Isolating Eritrea is also part of Ethiopian foreign policy, hence agreements with its surrounding countries.




Ethiopian investment in the ports of Sudan and Berbera is also seen as a way to undermine Djibouti’s dominance of Red Sea ports.

Mnachekesha sana, when things goes Kenyans way mtasema na kujisifia sana, when they go the other way, mnasema hakuna ushindani. Kenya ni mshindani wa kibiashara na Ethiopia na Tanzania hilo halikwepeki.
