Simply put, you can't have a viable and sustainable development without the development of the bases, the foundation, to put it differently.

That is also the reason why Ethiopia is investing heavily in upgrading and modernizing her basic infrastructure, like road networks, railways, power supply, data centers and data lines, water supply facilities and many more!

In this regard Ethiopia is planing a massive upgrade of her railways connecting the capital city, which is also the commercial center of the nation at the same time, with more ports of the region: in addition to Djibouti port, with the ports of Lammu in Kenya, Port-Sudan in Sudan, Berbera Port in Somaliland with a total length of over 5K KMs.
