Pretty ambitious, but this is what I like. Forward thinking that actually improves people lives. Shake-ur-Booty has become more important especially to the Ethiopians after the loss of Eritrea. I think the port at Djibouti has become Ethiopia’s primary sea port. Sure the Egyptians will oppose this since they would prefer that everything is routed through the Sinai.

Well, the bridge wouldn’t take any traffic from the Suez Canal; but I wholeheartedly agree — a big infrastructure project like this would transform the economies of the two nations.

That is, until some terrorist group blew a great big hole in it.
