wacha ku-stoop so low mzee hawa wanaotungua ndege zenu kila siku Somalia! lets wait and see! Ati mna uhusiano mzuri na Ethiopia. Endelea kujipendekeza...Ethiopia imeinvest $4.6 billion kwa hii dam. Halafu hio pesa ni michango ya Wahabeshi wa kawaida. Sasa sijui ni nini inakufanya useme eti Ethiopia hatazalisha umeme. Halafu hii dam iko 80% complete sasa sijui ni jambo gani inakufanya useme eti dam halitakamilika
Tazama picha mzee na ukubali kuwa hii dam imeshakamilika isipokuwa final touches tu. Halafu uhusiano kati ya Kenya na Ethiopia sio mbaya kama uhusiano kati ya Kenya na TZ.

"We plan to transform the Moyle region [border region] to a commonly administered economic hub of East Africa," he said.
The completion of the Lamu transport corridor, which connects Kenya, South Sudan and Ethiopia would be vital economic progress, Ahmed noted.
Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta said that his country would agree to the establish a Moyale-free trade zone which would benefit both counties.
Kenyatta added that business leaders from both countries must work together for mutually beneficial cooperation.

The trade volume between the two countries stands at $8 million.
