This is what he did, okay?

Just like his wife, pay attention to the paperwork.

Manilek, he stopped construction.

He said, no, y'all need to stop, bro.

Y'all need to stop working.

He started construction beyond an area called Dari Dawa, D-I-R-E, Dawa, when the French made claims of ownership over sections of the railway within Ethiopian borders in 1902.

So, yeah, they was trying to claim ownership in parts of Ethiopia without being there.

That was their way of indirectly colonizing Ethiopia.

They realized they couldn't just come in there and start a fight like Italy.

They said, we're just going to try to colonize y'all with this paperwork.

Now, think about that.

Think about that.

So the Red Sea was important.

So he stopped the construction.
