Soooo, they have access to the ocean through a deal with Somalia... which like all landlocked countries is only as good as the current deal maker makes it.. and will cost them.
Soooo, they don't have "access to the ocean" in any way differently than they ever have, or any other landlocked country has ever had. Gotcha.
- nujabe 3y agoYou talk as if being land locked is an economic death knell, Ethiopia is not the only country in the world (yet a lone region - which there are many) that is landlocked. This land for recognition isn’t going to solve truck congestion in Ethiopia. If they were interested in solving that they would’ve helped finance a rail line from Berbera to Addis, but as I mentioned Ethiopian PM is interested in selling to an uninterested public the deal of Ethiopia with a navy.
