Kindly do not be misled by diversionary agendas. The issue of ports is neither a problem nor will it ever be. The real challenge lies in a leadership that clings to outdated notions of kingship and lacks empathy for the suffering of its people. Consider the reality, thecountry is more divided than ever, conflicts are raging on multiple fronts, and the cost of living continues to soar. These are the pressing issues that demand our utmost attention, not distractions. With mutual respect and lawful agreements, Ethiopia has far more options to explore and use but it needs stability first. Somalia, Eritrea and Djibouti will benefit as Ethiopia prosper and with love mutual respect everything is possible.
