Here are two pictures that I made about four yeara ago that can easily relate to Berbera today.
People were like IMPOSSIBLE.

That navy today can easily be the UAE base, it does serve SL and Ethiopian interests. It can and will sail to Eritrea where it has a base.
These bases have more agenda than Houthis and Iran. UAE will eventually use it to protect its growing investments in SL, Ethiopia and elsewhere in the region. I believe UAE plans to make Ethiopia her breadbasket in the long term to grow essential food.

Here you can see today SL and Ethiopia have a joint venture company operating from Berbera.
The only thing I left was the UAE flag on the other side (replace one of the SL flags).
