Tigray War highlighted another vulnerability: Ethiopia’s lack of a port...[a]s fighting expanded beyond Tigray, however, forces disrupted both rail and road links between Addis Ababa and Djibouti...
To correct this and distract his population with a new crisis, Abiy is setting the stage for a claim to Zeyla (Saylac), a sleepy port in northern Somaliland just about seventeen miles from the Djiboutian border. His supporters have begun to cite historic precedent: from the sixteenth to early nineteenth century, Zeyla was the main port serving the Ethiopian city of Harrar and points even further inland. Zeyla is also a focal point of Abiy’s on-again, off-again discussion of creating a new Ethiopian Navy, a military service that makes no sense in an otherwise landlocked country.
none of this discounts tha threat emanating from tha magertenland province of the ex italian colony. but tha foreign policy establishment in Somaliland need to reasses tha releationship wit Addis Ababa 
n yea 
i'm still supporting a Somaliland underground political influence campaign in the ex italian colony. y should Uhuru have a monopoly on sponsoring allies in the ex italian colony? Uhuru can sponsor governa Deni n Somaliland should find alternative allies in the ex italian colony tha bare minimum they can do is develop military drone capabilities
rememba military cooperation wit Taiwan ain't affected by UN arms embargo on the defunct the now defunct Somali Democratic Republica
somalilland must obtain military drones. tha stupid policy of noninterventionism in the ex italian colony was bad enuf. ignoring ethiopian military drones n their potential threat to Zeyla' would be unforgiveable
