Somaliland wants Berbera Port to handle 30 percent of Ethiopia’s Cargo..

Somaliland local government plans for Berbera port to handle 30 percent of Ethiopia’s cargo. For this, an agreement regarding port usage and customs procedures should be signed between Ethiopia and Somaliland. The agreement is likely to be signed in the next 60 days, the head of the Somaliland Ports Authority told Deutsche Welle…

The yellow color of the caution sign on the left and right edge of the highway leading from Hargeisa to Berbera has not yet faded; It is not covered. The white-painted road divider was not much damaged. The main highway does not turn pale except at the entrance and exit of the cities of Hargeisa or Berbera.

The number of vehicles plying on the road is minimal for the time being. In a few months, however, it is hoped that it will be the main road for heavy vehicles to move Ethiopia’s export and import cargo, This road is a part of Berbera transportation and infrastructure corridor that extends to Addis Ababa. The road from Addis Ababa to Berbera is 937 kilometers long. Of this, 696 km is in Ethiopia and the remaining 241 km is in Somaliland.

It is expected that the final contract that will implement the MoU signed by Ethiopia and Somaliland will be completed in about two months. The chapter that will implement the Memorandum of Understanding signed by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and President Moses Bihi Abdi will give Somaliland the recognition it has been missing for three decades.
