Roads, like veins, permeate nations and continents to facilitate movement. For example, in Southern Africa, the Lobito Corridor is a key railway network that links Angola, the DRC, and Zambia—mineral and oil-rich regions—connecting both Southern and Central Africa and offering a route to Eastern Africa and leading to the Atlantic Ocean.
Uganda, Djibouti, Ethiopia, and South Sudan have
signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the Djibouti-Ethiopia-South Sudan-Uganda (DESSU) Corridor Authority, aimed at enhancing regional trade and connectivity. The agreement was finalized during a ministerial meeting, as disclosed by the Ethiopian Embassy in Djibouti on Friday.
The DESSU Corridor will serve as a crucial land link among the four countries, fostering economic growth,
job creation, and regional stability.
Key discussions at the ministerial and technical committee levels focused on infrastructure development, policy harmonization, and security cooperation.
The initiative seeks to bridge
infrastructure gaps and promote economic resilience through transparent collaboration and public-private partnerships, the embassy added.
