Did you know that....

• From 1991 up until TPLF's invasion of Eritrea in 1998 -- The amount of port service fees Ethiopian truck drivers were required to pay at the Eritrean Massawa and Assab ports was only 10 Birr ($0.08¢ USD) Yes, 8 cents per visit (almost for free!)-- which was the same amount Eritrean truckers were paying at the time.

The Eritrean government's decision to ask the outrageously low service fees was designed to help Ethiopia's economy recover from the effects of 30-years of war.

Our desire to see a prosperous and developed Ethiopia next door was so great that we ignored the common metaphors.... "Give the devil an inch, he will take a mile," or "Never give the devil a ride! He will always want to drive!"

This is what happens to an ungrateful nation that ignores acts of gratitude and kindness.

• From 1998 to Present -- The amount of port service fees Ethiopian truck drivers are required to pay at the Djibouti Port is $125 USD per visit-- a far cry from the 8¢ cents they were paying at Eritrean ports. IQ Matters.

Meles Zenawi had a very Low IQ that was made worse by his inherent inferiority complex.

In 1994, during his visit to Cairo, unable to come to terms with the fact that Egypt receives the most foreign aid from the US in Africa, which made him feel so little in front of Egyptian leaders, he tried to make himself look big by raising the Nile water issue with Egyptian authorities who responded by "Who the fuçk are you, lil agame man? Go hide in your Chigray!"

The Egyptians' response triggered the deep-seated inferiority complex that had held Meles captive for most of his life. Infuriated and humiliated, and in his quest for seeking revenge, he decided to dam the Nile River by building a massive dam that would become a symbol of agame's massive inferiority complex, and needless to say, the bone of contention between Egypt and Ethiopia with potentially devastating outcome for the latter.
