You 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.
I didn't say it was a death knell, lay off the strawman.
Clearly it is an economic burden, as evidenced by every landlocked country ever.
While I was there the massive new rail line had just started service. I thought the plan was for it to extend all the way to the monster Chinese port in Djibouti?
