Ethiopia plans to electrify the strategic Djibouti Trade Corridor with a multi-million-dollar EV infrastructure initiative, per capitalethiopia.com.

The project aims to boost regional connectivity and support sustainable logistics through electric vehicle adoption in Djibouti's key trade zones.

Djibouti also postponed local elections until April 2027, as reported by The Rio Times, citing political stability concerns.

Meanwhile, the country's free zones are shifting focus toward local production under the AfCFTA framework, according to capmad.com.
