Ethiopia Launches First-Ever Livestock Transport by Train to Djibouti
For the first time, Ethiopia has started transporting livestock by train to Djibouti.
Chief Executive Officer of the Ethio-Djibouti Railway Joint Stock Company, Engineer Takele Uma, announced the launch of the railway transport service for livestock from Adama to Djibouti.
Engineer Takele Uma recalled that previously, railway transport was only used for importing goods into the country. He stated that this new service will enhance Ethiopia’s export capacity.
He added that the Ethio-Djibouti railway through Adama will boost the export of quality meat products to international markets and help reduce traffic congestion.
In a post on his social media page, Engineer Takele Uma emphasized that the introduction of this service demonstrates Ethiopia’s commitment to conducting efficient and sustainable business in the sector.

This is great news.
But in another outlet I just read latest news coming out of Mogadishu about a ship docking there with shipment of heavy military arms from Egypt. The concern about this shipment of multi grade weapons is understandable. The Horn of Africa is awash with all sorts of military hardware already. Egypt’s proliferation of military grade weaponry to the region is not new. It goes back to the early 1960’s; call it attention grabber or some kind of act of intimidating black folks. My question is what does the AU think about this? It is too obvious that Somaliland’s citizens will never accept someone from Mogadishu to tell them how to run their 33 years old self-governance. The leaders of Ethiopia seem to be hell bent in acquiring a port come what may. What I just heard is they have already begun creating a corps of naval force starter with France’s assistance. The officials camping out at Villa Mogadishu are equally committed to recreate the years between 1969 and 1978. Who is going to incarnate Siad Barre and who is going to be the Galmudug’s own son Abdirashid Ali Sharmarke is something to be left to anyone’s imagination. Beside all this wiggling and machination, there is one possibility that has started depriving me of sleep. These connivers may be able to pitch the youth of Somalia against its contemporary in Ethiopia leading to another senseless and destructive bloodshed. If that happens I will be holding both PM Abiy and President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud responsible for any loss of lives and property. They can move their jaws all day and all night long calling each other names but they should not even think about leading the current issues into stupid and senseless violence. Don’t you dare, you two!!!! Don’t you dare!!!!

One more development is of a serious concern is the escalation and spread of the conflict in the Middle East. The war has now spread between the terrorist group in Southern Lebanon and Israel. I am being told that there thousands of Ethiopian women who live Lebanon as domestic workers including in the area where the fighting is raging now. Let’s have our daughters and sisters in our thoughts and try to help them in every legal way possible. May The Good Lord Watch Over Them!!!
