The 100km long Yabelo-Mega road - part of the 1,000km Mombasa-Nairobi-Addis Abeba Road Corridor - will be opened for traffic on Sunday, March 9, 2014 in the presence of Worqineh Gebeyehu, minister of Transport. The inauguration, which will take place in Yabelo town - 564km from Addis Abeba in Borena Zone of the Oromia Region - will also be attended by officials from the Ethiopian Roads Authority (ERA).

The Mombasa-Nairobi-Addis Abeba Road Corridor is an important part of the Trans-African Highway, from Cairo to Cape Town. In Kenya and Ethiopia, the road is a link from Addis Ababa to Nairobi. The Kenyan section of the road between Isiolo and Moyale is about 525km and was constructed as a gravel road in 1974. On the Ethiopian Side of the border, the road is entirely bitumen-paved from Moyale to Addis Abeba. However, the section of th

The Blue Nile accounts for 85 percent of the Nile's water flow. It joins the White Nile, whose headwaters lie in the East African highlands of Burundi. Ethiopians consider the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) and the other dams the government of Ethiopia plans to build a symbol of national pride as they will produce electricity that will transform the economic prospects not only for their country but for much of seriously under-developed East Africa. In talks last January between Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan, negotiations hit a dead-end, with MENA reporting that Ethiopia refused to discuss the terms of "confidence-building measures," which Egyptian officials say must be changed in order to avoid reduction of Egypt's Nile river water share. Egypt, with its 84 million people totally dependent on the Nile for water, cites British colonial agreements in 1929 and 1959 that guarantee it the lion's share of the water and a veto over upstream dam construct

Staff from Specsavers in Ellesmere Port travel to Horn of Africa to give vital aid Optometrist Alex Whitter from Specsavers in Ellesmere Port during his time in Ethiopia More than 1,000 people in Ethiopia have received eyecare thanks to an optician and a lab technician from Ellesmere Port. Optometrist Alex Whitter and lab technician Mike Horsefield, who both work in the Ellesmere Port Specsavers store, travelled to the Horn of Africa where they worked to give vital aid to people without access to eyecare.
