The real issue is population growth, we cant sustain so many people and expect a high living standard its just not possible. The Earth has given us all it can and its just damaging what we are doing. Blame materialism for this situation where we always want more and more.

The IMF and World Bank need to be dealt with before anything substantive can happen. The politicians are simply their puppets

The problem with Ethiopia is its landlocked status. Its extra expensive to ship anything out of Ethiopia and hecause the country only uses one port (Djibouti) to ship things, it extremely slow and bottlenecks are common. Its made it difficult to attract foreign investment and create an export oriented light manufacturing industry, diversifying the economy away from agriculture. Its almost impossible to create export industries without soveriegn ports. This is the reason most populous landlocked countries are poor and struggle to create manufacturing hubs. This is why the Eritrean issue is so important to Ethiopia. The creation of Eritrea by Italy was meant to ensure Ethiopia continues to be impoverished and isolated. If Eritrea allowed us to reclaim parts of southern Eritrea which has no economic value since its mostly hot desert and is sparsely populated by the nomadic Afar people who number less the 60,000 and are native to Ethiopia then Ethiopia could become the manufacturing centre of Africa. Eritrea justifies is existence on the premise that they had an autonomous region called Bedre Negash in Northern Eritrea. The Afar region of Eritrea which Ethiopia is interested was never apart of that region and the Afar people are more connected to Ethiopia since most of their population(90 percent) live in the Ethiopian danakil depression, so the Highlander Eritrean government has no legitimate claim to Southern Eritrea and is only holding parts of southern Eritrea to ensure Ethiopia maintains it landlocked status quo. The despicable Rashaeda Arab clans who are responsible for the kidnapping and deaths of so many Eritrean and Ethiopian refugees have more coastline than Ethiopia, a country of 100 million despite the fact that they came from Saudi Arabia 200 years ago. Its the epitome of selfishness on the part of the Eritrean leadership. Its basically economic sabotage, this issue will ensure that both nations will always be hostile to one another.

The sad thing is, most economists know that the Ethiopian economy is intrinsic to the wealth and stability of the horn yet countries such as Somalia and Eritrea who could stand to benefit the most from Ethiopias rise are trying their best to destabilize Ethiopia.
Eritrean nationalist dont realise how Important Ethiopia is to their future prosperity whilst autonomous regions like Somliland now realise this fact and are doing whatever they can to assist Ethiopia in her rise.

But Djibouti and Ethiopia are building new roads and railroads to facilitate the transport of goods. I wouldn't despair just yet. I see Ethiopia and Djibouti forming a strong economic axis in the region.
