Would Eritrea have a comparative advantage in Agricultural sector in the Horn Region?
Berhane Asgedom, May 12, 2008 - 12:36pm
Nature has endowed for some nation natural resources such as oil, minerals, for others fertile land, strategic geographical location, rich tourism potential, and for some others nothing else but arid/desert land. However, even though nature has been fair for some nations and very unfair for some others in its endowment, thanks to globalization what one country does not have could be accessed from others which have it.

The worst however, came during the Ethiopian colonial period. The port was only serving the Ethiopian army with no maintenance. Especially in 1990, the Ethiopian army deliberately bombarded the port.
