Totally false alarm.
Ethiopia is a partner and has the most to gain. Looks like the door is once again closed on any Oromo who want secession who often used the Muslim card against the first nation to welcome Muslims

In Berbera, Ethiopia is now 19% stalk-holder given to them by DP (basically DP gave some of its equity to Ethiopia, which it can).
Now it looks like this;
DP World 46% (majority stalk-holder)
Somaliland 35%
Ethiopia 19%
In my opinion it's very wise decision to award the main client some rewards so that it can keep bringing its business to Berbera. For every $1 Ethiopia brings, we will throw 19cents back at her.
Imagine yourself as a business you wish to export 100tons of coffee (Jimma), if I can return you 19%, are you going to Sudan, Lamu, Djibouti or Berbera?
For all partners the rewards are ripped to the fullest as volume or gross capacity increases...the more Ethiopia brings to Berbera, the more for her, the more for SL, the more for DP.
I did this chart:


Imagine at Q1, Ethiopia exports/imports $100m. Then its stalk is $19m. If it increases volume to Q2, say $250m, then almost $48m.
The point is the more it increases its volume at Berbera, the more for her.
Likewise in SL case; Q1: $35m, (almost) Q2: $88m
Meanwhile SL gains from infrastructures, other investments such as hotels, airports, workers with big pockets who need to spend...
Overall about 30 other investors are expected after Ramadan as well as the blueprint to develop Berbera. So far four big major investors came with DP World including ALEC, the company that built Dubai's airport, Abu Dhabi airport, Qatar's and other major projects (http://www.alec.ae/projects/all). I suspect ALEC is getting the contract to build Berbera's upcoming airport, which will have both military and civilian sections. Others include the Director General of Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi.
The spillover is great.
In conclusion, as the volumes in Berbera increases, so do the rewards for all three partners.
The deal itself is very historical because we showed everyone in the region that Horn people can work together.
The goal is for Ethiopia to become the next China (major industrial country) and ways to help her export to the world will be developed.
I have always said, we are lucky to be placed such strategic location and our economic horse (Ethiopia) will pull all of us out off poverty if we work together and work smart----emotions, egos and falsehood prides aside.
We all going to eat good.
