Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD), alongside President Ismail Guelleh and Aliko Dangote, has announced a major strategic investment connecting Damerjog in Djibouti to Dewele in Ethiopia through a new refined petroleum products pipeline, supported by storage terminals at both ends.

The project will be developed through a partnership between Ethiopian Investment Holdings and the Dangote Group. This landmark infrastructure is designed to reduce logistics costs and delays, strengthen energy security, and enhance the efficiency and resilience of the Ethiopia–Djibouti corridor.

Framed as more than a pipeline, the initiative serves as an investment in future growth, regional integration, and a more secure shared economic future, with African investment at its center.
