South Sudan to build a pipeline to the port of Djibouti via Ethiopia

South Sudan to build a pipeline to the port of Djibouti via Ethiopia

Landlocked South Sudan has signed a second oil pipeline deal in a bid to reduce its dependence on Sudan - amid a deepening oil crisis.

The only export route for southern oil - which makes up 98% of its budget - is via its northern neighbour.

The latest plan is to build a pipeline to the port of Djibouti on the Red Sea via neighbouring Ethiopia.

South Sudan last month stopped production in a transit fees row and accused Khartoum of stealing its oil.

A memorandum of understanding was signed during talks in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, earlier this month, South Sudan's Minister for Information Barnaba Marial Benjamin told the AFP news agency.

Chinese, US and European companies have shown interest in carrying out feasibility studies, Mr Benjamin said.

Has Meles got the permission from Ethiopians to use and misuse their country and property?

What is the populations say?
Had they been consulted?
Where and what is their voice on this?

How much did Meles and his cadres got from this sinister deal?

This is hazardous to health and to the environment plot and will put peoples life in danger in that small country were there is no health care.

That must be stopped!

****-
Why does everyone argue? When woyane falls a new leader will replace him. But do you see in western countries people getting revenge on the previous government if they did something wrong? Are people trying to kill George Bush? No they are not! We need to act civilized. If we get revenge we will just start a new war. POint less eh? Move on and don think about The EPRDF when they fall. Think about the new government. Let us become civilized!

It is not new people in ethiopia steal power line tower steel to make knife. Risking their life to be electricuted. Imagin oil passing in the back yard. I bet you people start drilling the pipe to get their own share of the pie. In the process loose of life and enviromental disastet is a matter of time. I feel sorry for my ethiopia.. There is no leader who dearly care and see the risk.

What makes EPRDF(Woyanee)different from Derg is they have learn from historical mistakes in terms of forging relations with neighbors(Eritrea is just a renegade state) and they are doing a good job of securing strategical importance for Ethiopia..that, no one can take away from them..At the same time they tent to make some silly and potentially disastrous decisions when it come to domestic issues such us the recent urban land-grab policy which has now brought almost all property and land related transactions to stand-still. That i thought was unbelievable and it is even safe to think an enemy adviser might have infiltrated them. Otherwise there is no doubt they are making some significant and historical geopolitical decisions that might almost compensate the blander of all blander that left Ethiopia land-locked..let's give them the benefit of the doubt.

Woyane will loot the oil production that runs through Ethiopia.
Woyane also may has made enquiries that the pipe line goes via Mekele then to Djibouti in order to get respect and loot the product.

Don't be deceived Meles is just a western poppy(puppet),he just take orders from his masters,if they order him to jump meles will ask how high that is it,and if Meles refused to take orders or turn against his masters he will be history within days.almost all African leaders are western puppets not only Meles,what makes Meles special?well he trust his own lies and he is against his own country Ethiopia from day 1.now understand why the western masters chose Meles to represent Africa in order to be the most loved and trusted puppet you must hate your own people and get rid off every true nationalist leaders which the westerns hate the most.

What has happens to Ethiopia oil in Ogaden and illibabure ? The Arabs are paying underground that Ethiopia and Yemen should not be an oil independent nation. That is sign in their blood and pay annually to all explorers campaniles not to find any oil or lose their international money.

It is an Arabian kingdom secret embargo sign with all involving oil and gas investors not to find oil in Ethiopia and Yemen.

Here we have south Sudan with oil a few km away from illibabour province and Uganda which far away from is drilling it's oil soon ready for Market. It is a conspiracy by west and Arabian Devil empire that we can not find a single oil. 50 years ago an American oil company did a research and found billions of worth oil and gas in Harar province. That is still well document and any ne can find it in America institutes for oil and gas exploration......And not only there but also they did explored even in Tigri province and found oil reserve there, but the Devils of Arabian Kindom paid everything to stop all exploration in Ethiopia Christian kingdom and sign a secret deal even in future exploration to be sabotage and stop by any means....there you have now south Sudan got it's independency with help of western Charity,NGO and those new American Christian association ..... Conspiracy ??? There you have a good answer!!!! Why Pipe line via Ethiopia to Djibouti? This time, the America Christian org. Has a big influence in south Sudan and weyannes are branch wing of these club and obey what they say because all the food and money that is flowing in Ethiopia is approved by these org. Like to bore money from IMF is first approved by these secret org. to Ethiopia future. There you have melese position as a monkey in Zoo.

Even though I am happy about this news, I feel sad that,we, east africans, have failed to understand the meaning of unity. Now south sudan will have to build infrastructures from scratch while its people would have been better served by remaining under Sudan. The same holds true for Eritrea and all other nations wanting to separate themselves from the big countries like Ethiopia.

OF course, we all know that the prevailing problems in governance are immense. But , it makes you wonder why people would opt to make the proper changes alone instead of working together with others to make their dream a reality within the already set international boundaries. The independence of south sudan may seem a happy day for them, but it is a very sad reality for all parties involved in the Sudan and to the people of Ethiopia, Eritrea and the whole region.

I know how desperately Eritrea attempted to ally South Sudan with her but, it seems they are being told f***off as they deserved. Going all the way to Djibouti through Ethiopia shows how South Sudan wants to avoid the bastard state of Colonialism and Arab-ism. Love it!!!

Extra,
You always think with your behind, huh:)
South Sudan is still a good friend of Eritrea, but Eritrea cannot afford to let the South Sudan oil pipeline pass through Eritrea for Export, because our Pearl cannot afford pollution and conflict with all neighbours.
Eritrea is smilling at your temporary Heyaho! Enjoy till it lasts lol

Arrterans,
this hasn't been your week. this is another devestating news for arrtera that was dreaming to exploit ethiopia by being its sole outlet to the sea. thanks to djibouti and its decent people, now ethiopia not only has access to the sea, but its also helping south sudan...this is some thing none of those brainless arrteran could imagine when they voted for secession....
....
"South Sudan signed a memorandum of understanding with Ethiopia and Djibouti around trade last week which included the possibility of building an oil pipeline, Deputy Minister of Information and Broadcasting Atem Yaak Atem said.
"As a landlocked country, we would like to have an outlet to the sea for our goods to go to the outside world and for our imports to come in," he said.
South Sudan's deputy finance minister Marial Awou Yol confirmed the country was considering the oil pipeline through Ethiopia."

Ewnet, for your information south sudanese were seen and treated as sub human slaves and second citizens by the north. now the arrtera issue is totally different and its based on greed, hate and empty pride instilled by the italian colonizers.

I think that this is the beginning of very good future relations between Ethiopia and S. Sudan. I believe that S. Sudan is looking on Ethiopia’s friendship and good neighborliness, and let us hope that Ethiopia appreciates this and works accordingly, based on mutual respect and on equal terms. This young nation must get every help Ethiopia can give, so that it would be able to stand on its two feet. Ethiopia has a lot to gain and nothing to lose.

Future railway and electric power connections and full fledge economic and political co-operations between the two countries will benefit both nations. EAL can serve S. Sudan for decades to come, and Ethiopia and Djibouti can replace fully N. Sudan as the new country’s outlet to the outside world.

It is a pity that Eritrea is left out as a simple spectator of the things that are unfolding in the horn. The wrong choice it has made, and the wrong policy it is following has made it an outsider. Assab could have been Ethiopia’s and S. Sudan’s trade outlet instead of Djibouti, and Eritreans would have also been beneficiaries of the new economic reality. Little Djibouti is making the best out of it, while the odd man in Asmara (IA) is asking, “Where is the proof that a change has come to the horn?”

The bull in a China store (IA) is creating havoc in the horn with his awkward actions and shortsighted policies, while the shrewd Shorty (MZ) is outmaneuvering him in every field. Ethiopians and Eritreans would rather fight each other rather than fight for their freedom and human rights, and thus, they have succeeded in lengthening their misery under dictatorships.

South Sudan is Ethiopia's most autonomous federal state, South Sudanese have started integrating with Ethiopia since colonial times, it started when Ethiopia gave out Kassala from her northern territories, it is a long strategy started since Menelik II. In addition to that there can be no state called Eritrea in the final picture of the greater Horn and East of Africa.

Whether you like it or not you are going to dissolve, you better run fast astray like Gypsies to the world, the final fate of Eritreans is to be like Gypsy.

If you don't understand this you can ask an informed question, cheers!

mind you, the destination of this pipe would have been Assab instead of Dijibouti and I wonder how Eritreans will ever be able to regain lost opportunities without ever submitting themselves to people they once foolishly considered sub-human(the Tigrians)..Amazingly, Most Eritreans still live with a hope that they will one day bring Ethiopians under their fold and their suicidal tendency doesn't seem to have a boundary when it comes to Ethiopia..But I hope both Ethiopians and S-Sudanese have considered all potential threats to their plan, otherwise it is definitely the deal of the century!

Good-bye inferior Min'Tessnot aka Yi'KaAlo of Artera ... QiQiQiQi HahaHahahaha kikikiki HAHAHAHAHA hahahahaha qiqiqi

Aybelnan'Do!!!

In deed, what a geo-strategic masterpiece by none other than the visionary & savvy Deki Harbegna-Kedamay-Weyenntti :)

Infertile, dry, hotter than one can imagine and barren KebesaTigray speculated too recklessly and worked hard in diabolic style & manner to challenge its way much superior senior Tigray-proper for the latter is unflinchingly pro-Ethiopia deep in the heart of its hearts -- Fewssi Weyane is dealing with trashy Artera by cutting her further to its tiniest size and render her worthless accordingly for generations to come!

The next strategic big idea for Free & Mighty Ethiopia would be to construct the Shiraro-MeQeLe-TadjuraPort direct railway connection as soon as possible and effectively integrate the entire Djibouti-SouthSudan-Somaliland economy under its win-win leadership.


In fact, I would also suggest Ethiopia needs to construct a direct railway connection between SouthSudan's new capital city Ramciel and Gambella town -- Starting from there, connect Gambella town further northwards with Assossa town passing through DembiDolo-Ghimbi-Mendi and extending further southwards with Teppi-MizanTeferi-Sawla-ArbaMinch.

Let it shine, let it flourish, let it prosper: Eventually transform Gambella town into a vibrant and glittering international Ethiopian City in the 21st Century.

Such trans-regional projects would hugely boost the significance of our southwest corridor as another national development & growth pole on its own right. It goes without saying that this will remarkably facilitate the expansion of trade & commerce by adding more value to the livelihood of millions of our citizens.

Now as Free Ethiopia confidently charts its own Sovereign future, reaches even higher global standings and reclaims its long lost dignity, I guess defiled Arterans will as usual yell and curse the Tigres of Ethiopia out of pure Jealousy and Envy! Yeah, Out-smarted :) Out-classed :) Out-shined :)

Yihenew EtiyoPiya.
First Ethiopia!

Enkuan Zenbo-Bish Drowm Teza Nesh yilal yagerie saw...

It is a good idea to build a good diplomatic relation, and economical collaboration with the new country, but allowing oil pipeline to pass thorough our land at this moment is not a good move. Our people have been facing all kind of enemies throughout our existence for so many reasons, and we should refrain from adding more enemies to the list....

Beside, I would not trust any new born country in the 21century. Look at Eretria that have no clue about the world, freedom, and neighborhood relationship? Instead of accepting what they are and trying to serve their people, they just have been troublesome to their mother Ethiopia, and to the whole region. Their inferiority and a small man sickness is playing with their mind forever.....

God bless the world!

Russia was to construct gas-pipeline to the whole europe inorder to save time/effort. The Start point was to be Russia-Finland-Litauen-Lettland-Sweden-Danmark-Germany-,,,u name it down to Italy. Very big project.

At first the people was very happy to get job opportunity, but later on they thought about the consequences for generations to come and the countries (that the pipeline was ment to pass through) refused the project.

At the end No gas-pipeline for Russia.

Because you invaded the place that doesn't belong to you, you feel that you are more Ethiopian than Ethiopians themselves:) LOL

Please let the people of Ethiopia enjoy their God given ownership. Because you been suffering for decades, it doesn't mean that you have to revenge on the poor. You are incapable to lead the country fairly.

Regarding Assab and Eritrea, Who is jelouse now?:)lets do whatever we want with our sea. LOL

For your information Im not kebesa like you all assume, but Im glad to be part of my kebesa people, who are your teachers and Masters in all way, the fact that you cannot deny:) As for me Im Barka Eritrean with my sword on the shoulder, nightmare of woyane:)Now to the main discussion,

Definitely there will be a lot of losers and beneficiaries from this project.Of course and above all, the big loser is Sudan and in the second place may be Eritrea. PM Meles is doing great regionally, but not much internally. Eritrea as the best friend of S. Sudan did not gain, except some constructions projects there.

The hate toward Eritrea in this site just incrdable but regardless Eritrean and Eritreans are happy for the following reasons:
1. Eritrea is free and recognized by the UN
2. We do not beg anyone for access to the sea
3. We are very happy of the SouthSudance independence they deserve it
4. Eritrea has the fastest growing economy thanks to her natural resource
5. We never hated Ethiopians we just hated what they did to us
6. The minority government of the Wayane is just that temporary
7. Eritrea and Eritreans believe in being self sufficient and hopes the rest of African country would do same thing
8. For those of you spewing hate toward Eritrea go ahead and waste your time because Eritrea will not stop existing just because you are unhappy it is unrelevant to her.

"Mr.Extra, is Kassala in South Sudan? LOL LOL LOL
You guys are unbelievable!"

There is no relationship between Kassala (north) and South Sudan and I never said there is. What I said is Ethiopia gave out Kassala from her northern territories which should have been Eritrean territory now. Ethiopia gave out Kassala to integrate with her South Sudan brothers in exchange to the northern cursed people.

Your problem is you know little about the historical issue surrounding this region and to make you understand a simple point one have to narrate it from A to Z to your dumb shabia cockroach head, which is not possible in this kind of forum.

I know your limitations from the many comments you made at this site, I am not surprised when you miss this, what is funny is you miss the simple point and you laugh out of the blue, you are literally masturbating. Think twice before you laugh at others, maybe the real laugh is on you which is the case here. Banana Head!!!

Extra,
You mean Menelik knew that you would make todays twist to break the connection among the two brothers South/North Sudan and as you clearly mentioned "inorder to integrate with the South in exchange to the north, which is Eritrean Kessela"?
How about the now given Ethiopian land by Meles to Sudan? Do you have some other evil tactics to that too?:)

BTW you are late comer to learn that there is no difference between Kessela/Eritrea/Kessela one people and one country! LOL LOL LOL

Just keep your evil and twisted games away from us. We do fine without you, ugly ppl.

We feel sorry for the people of Ethiopia who are doomed to tolerate your bad habbit. But yesterday is never today, they are learning all about you when you open your ugly mouth and expose your ugly secret chating against Eritreans. They know very well that you are noone to be trusted with your betrayal and the blood in your hands.
