No Hope at Hobyo Port
After "Consortium Deal" in 2020 and "Project Ceremony Signing" in 2024, the shovel hasn't hit the ground yet and the project was to be completed within three years. One year has lapsed since the ceremony singing a year ago.
What's happening with Hobyo Port? Did we lose hope of the project ever commending? Our interest is the potential skills gained, Somali engineers, project managers and others working in the project.

The port development deal will create a trade corridor between Somalia and Ethiopia and boost Turkiye’s strategic influence in the Horn of Africa.
