DP World's Berbera–Addis Ababa corridor and similar logistics projects are forming critical links for landlocked Ethiopia, as the two countries look to expand cooperation in energy, trade, and infrastructure to boost their regional and global standing.

Ethiopia plans to build Africa's largest airport — 110 million passengers annually at $12.5 billion — while the UAE remains a top investment partner, with 127+ Emirati companies and $2.9 billion in total investments.

#Ethiopia is deepening its strategic ties with the UAE across energy, infrastructure, and logistics, with Ethiopia's Ambassador to the UAE, Dr. Jamal Baker Abdullah, calling PM Abiy Ahmed's recent #UAE visit a historic turning point in bilateral relations utilities-me.com/news/ethiopia-…

Both programs delivered results: since 2021, Nafis placed 152,000 Emiratis in private-sector jobs; UAE unemployment fell from ~3.1% in 2021 to ~2.2% in 2025, while Saudi unemployment dropped from 11.3% in Q2 2021 to ~7% by end-2024. @Stats_Saudi stats.gov.sa/en/

Meanwhile, the UAE has extended its Nafis Emiratisation program well beyond its original end date to 2040, making the scheme more attractive with expanded financial incentives for citizens entering the private sector.

Gulf countries have long sought to encourage their citizens to work in the private sector rather than remain dependent on government jobs, with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates intensifying these efforts. @semafor semafor.com/article/04/08/…

According to the Omani News Agency (@ONA_eng), #Oman and #Iran held a meeting at the undersecretary level with experts to discuss options for ensuring safe maritime traffic through the Strait of #Hormuz under current regional conditions.

Larak and Hormuz Islands control the strait; Bandar Abbas and Qeshm are commercial and military hubs; South Pars and Asaluyeh drive Iran’s gas and petrochemical production; Kharg Island handles ~90% of crude exports, forming the core of Iran’s maritime strategy.

على الرغم من هذه الهجمات، تظل خدمات المياه متوفرة دون انقطاع للسكان. ومع ذلك، فإن الأضرار التي لحقت بمحطات التحلية تهدد بشكل مباشر الخدمات الصحية في المنطقة وعمل المستشفيات، وكذلك الصحة العامة للسكان.

تعرضت منشآت الطاقة وتحلية المياه في #الكويت لهجومين في تواريخ مختلفة. ففي 29 مارس، تعرضت محطة غرب الدوحة لهجوم أسفر عن وفاة عامل وتضرر البنية التحتية. وفي صباح 3 أبريل، استهدفت منشأة كهرباء وتحلية مياه أخرى هجمات من مصدر إيراني، مما تسبب في أضرار مادية لبعض المكونات. @mew_kwt
