Djibouti Offers Port to Ethiopia in Hopes of Easing Regional Tensions

by Hristijan Ivanov

"The eastern African nation of Djibouti is proposing a new solution to the ongoing regional tensions as landlocked Ethiopia seeks to develop access to the ocean and global trade. Djibouti has offered to grant Ethiopia the use of the Port of Tadjoura which is in the northern part of the country to gain direct access to the Gulf of Aden as an alternative to an agreement for Ethiopia to gain access to a port in Somaliland in exchange for recognition of the breakaway semi-autonomous state."
