Re: Ethiopia reportedly earned US $1.28 billion from export trade
On behalf of Ethiopia's eighty four different ethnic groups, I want to thank you djiboutians for your excellent & trustworthy service.
Birhanu Redai, an Tigrayan truck driver told financial times magazine, “Without Djibouti, there will be no trade for Ethiopia.” he was so right, without you djibouti, there will be no trade for us!
It's still a mystery what was Meles Zenawi thinking when he landlocked Ethiopia.
As usual, war obsessed Eritrea stay tuned.
