Interesting how some posters on SH complained about the risks of developing a mine in a country like Ethiopia because of the political risks. So here we have, federally and provincially, governments basically legislating how the railways should run their businesses because it suits their immediate political whims.

What next? Will they stop the takeover of a large, PRIVATELY OWNED Potash producer because it looks good ploitically? Oh wait, they did that already.

The point is, although this may be good for grain farmers, it shows that no jurisdiction has a monoply on playing fair.
