Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (ADV) – Somaliland and Ethiopia have launched a US$ 400 million road project linking the two countries, ADV learnt here on Monday. When completed in 18 months, the road will link Somaliland’s Berbera Port with Ethiopia’s border town of Togochale. The 72 kilometre-road is an ambitious and strategic road project that will also enable Somaliland to benefit greatly from the winds of change blowing across the Horn of Africa. The ‘New Business Ethiopia’ newspaper explained that the road project which was launched on Friday, is being funded by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development. © Bur-csa – A.H – N.A / From our regional correspondent Tamba Jean-Matthew III – African Daily Voice (ADV) – Follow us on Twitter : @ADVinfo_eng
