Today marked the official inauguration of the Djibouti Ship Repair Yard (DSRY), including its floating dock, held under the high patronage of His Excellency the President of the Republic, Mr. Ismaïl Omar Guelleh. The ship repair yard was developed through a strategic partnership with Damen Shipyards financed by Invest International from Netherlands with an amount 107.500.000 euros. This major infrastructure project represents a significant milestone for Djibouti’s maritime and industrial development. The Djibouti Ship Repair Yard is the largest facility of its kind in the Red Sea and across East Africa. It features a floating dock measuring 217 meters in length and 43 meters in width, with a lifting capacity of 20,100 tonnes. The complex is designed to service a wide range of vessels, providing both preventive and corrective maintenance, supported by a combination of international and national expertise. Beyond its industrial significance, the project delivers strong economic and social impact, generating approximately 350 direct jobs and 1,400 indirect jobs, while fostering the development of skilled young professionals in high-value technical fields. In his address, the President of the Republic emphasized that: "The DSRY project has always been a national priority, given Djibouti’s strategic location at the entrance to the Bab el-Mandeb, one of the busiest maritime passages in the world. This geographic position gives us the responsibility to meet the needs of vessels transiting the region, whether for dry docking or mechanical repairs" Mr. Hassan Houmed, Minister of Infrastructure, highlighted that "the Djibouti Ship Repair Yard constitutes a strategic national asset, serving port competitiveness, the blue economy, and Djibouti’s regional influence." Mr. Aboubaker Omar Hadi, Chairman of Djibouti Ports and Free Zones Authority underscored "the importance of the project in strengthening Djibouti’s position as a key maritime hub, under the 2035 vision." Mr. Arnout Damen, President of Damen Shipyards, reaffirmed in his speech the company’s commitment to supporting the long-term success and operational excellence of the Djibouti Ship Repair Yard. The inauguration of DSRY marks a new chapter in Djibouti’s ambition to become a leading maritime services center in the region. @omar_hadi @damen @IsmailOguelleh

Trois nations de la Corne de l’Afrique franchissent une étape clé vers l’AFCON 2027 ce soir. Djibouti malheureusement manque encore a l’appelle, Cela doit nous interpeller collectivement: le potentiel existe, mais exige organisation, discipline et vision à long terme. #Djibouti

L’indice d’incertitude économique mondiale (FRED) atteint des sommets historiques. Entre tensions géopolitiques, inflation persistante et marchés sous pression, la visibilité se réduit. Les investisseurs naviguent à vue dans un climat de plus en plus instable. #Djibouti

On commence lundi avec un baril à 116 $ : signal fort et tensions persistantes sur les marchés énergétiques. Avec les tensions géopolitiques mondiales, les prix continuent de grimper. Sommes-nous à l’aube d’une inflation mondiale ? #Djibouti

@MedRobleh3 Mashallah, we need more people like you in our beautiful country people who protect our nation from all forms of environmental harm and set an example of how small messages like this can inspire a more sustainable and caring approach toward our environment. @MedRobleh3 🇩🇯♻️🌍

Hier à Layta, ns avons installé notre premier message environnemental sur la RN direction Nord. Éveiller les consciences est encore un défi de longue haleine, mais ns croyons fermement que chaque mot lu peut devenir un moteur de changement. Grand Merci à la SCA pour son soutien.

Le risque d’investissement reflète la stabilité d’un pays. En 2026, les primes vont de 4 % à plus de 30 %, l’instabilité est forte, et le coût économique élevé, l’instabilité régionale freine la prospérité et l’investissements. #Djibouti

La frustration grandit. Est-il temps de repenser le football djiboutien. En s’inspirons du Sénégal ou du Maroc, École sport-études, futsal, beach soccer, ligues amateurs/scolaire, Infrastructure, les talents naissent comme ça, ce sport est un moteur économique social. #Djibouti

Le prix du pétrole vien à nouveau dépassé des niveaux jugés “impensables”, révélant une économie mondiale sous tension. Incertitudes géopolitiques tension au détroits d’Hormuz, flambée des fertilizer, le risque est clair, inflation durable, pression sur les imports. #Djibouti

In the first quarter of 2026, the Djibouti International Free Trade Zone (DIFTZ) delivered outstanding results, with core indicators including land sales, land utilization rate and employment promotion achieving leaping growth, marking a robust start for the annual development. It has injected strong impetus into Djibouti's economic and social development and laid a solid foundation for the upgrading of the East African trade and logistics landscape. In terms of core operating indicators, DIFTZ’s land sales exceeded 100,000 square meters in the first three months of 2026, surging year-on-year. As Africa’s largest free trade zone, it has become a key choice for global capital to lay out in East Africa by virtue of its geographical, infrastructure and policy advantages. By March 2026, a total of 513 global enterprises had settled in DIFTZ, a 22% year-on-year increase; the land utilization rate reached 70%, rising 22 percentage points from the same period last year. Chinese enterprises hold 356,000 square meters of long-term leased land, accounting for 36% of DIFTZ’s total. Major Chinese enterprises have settled here, including top engineering equipment manufacturers XCMG, Zoomlion and Sany Heavy Industry, leading heavy-duty truck makers such as China National Heavy Duty Truck Group, and mainstream NEV brands like BYD and Geely that have set up overseas warehouses. DIFTZ is advancing several large investment projects, and it is expected to complete the lease and sale of all land within the year, after which expansion will be officially launched. In employment, DIFTZ has created 3,000 direct and 5,000 indirect jobs for local people by March 2026, easing employment pressure and boosting income, with jobs spread across logistics, processing and business services. The robust growth stems from DIFTZ’s accurate grasp of development opportunities, such as the growing logistics demand from Ethiopia’s infrastructure upgrading, the global NEV industry boom and global supply chain restructuring. It has positioned its development direction precisely, optimized industrial layout and strengthened linkage with the global market. Launched in 2018 by the President of the Republic of Djibouti H.E Ismail Omar Guelleh, DIFTZ has been a new engine for Djibouti’s economic development, aiming to advance economic diversification. Going forward, it will continue to build itself into an East African hub for trade, logistics and export processing, improve infrastructure and business environment, deepen China-Africa cooperation and boost the integration of the East African regional economy. @omar_hadi

🇩🇯 Djiboutian | The defense forces are stepping up patrols in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, Djibouti reaffirms its key role in securing this vital maritime route for global trade. ⚓️🛡️ #Djibouti #BabElMandeb #MaritimeSecurity

@Djbawlah What many fail to understand is that successful international trade relies on each country leveraging its comparative advantages. When neighbors choose destabilization over cooperation, they don’t just harm others they undermine their own economic growth and regional prosperity.

The current energy crisis provides a rationale for a deeper regional integration and mutualization of neighboring countries' respective competitive advantages. The sustainable solution is Somalia's oil and gas to power economic growth in Greater East Africa.

Djibouti subit une accumulation inquiétante de déchets plastiques, notamment issus du trafic des camions et bus. Pneus abandonnés, pollution visible… au-delà de l’image du pays, ce sont des pertes économiques réelles (tourisme, entretien, santé, bétail,gîte larvaire) #Djibouti

To Mr. Zemedeneh Negatu @Zemedeneh, Your interview on Gazette Plus is deeply misleading and compelled me to respond. I normally don’t respond to armchair theorists, but I thought you were better informed than that. Indeed, You are free to please a narrative. I am equally free to challenge misinformation. With all due respect, claiming that 🇩🇯’s #ports are « expensive and inefficient » is not serious economics, it is simply a convenient talking point detached from facts. After Ethiopia lost direct access to the sea, Djibouti did not merely provide an alternative. Djibouti built the entire logistics backbone that enabled #Ethiopia’s #economic #transformation. More importantly, how can anyone credibly argue that Djibouti’s port investments are « insufficient »or « inappropriate »when over $10 billion has been invested in world-class infrastructure, including: • Deep-sea ports • Specialized terminals • An electrified railway • Integrated logistics corridors This is not inefficiency. This is strategic infrastructures built at scale and serving not only Ethiopia, but global trade and regional integration. Let me be absolutely clear: Without Djibouti, Ethiopia’s transformation at this scale would not have been possible. Djibouti has been an indispensable pillar of Ethiopia’s industrialization journey. As for the recurring narrative about the « billions paid to Djibouti». I welcome a transparent, fact-based debate with open books and verifiable data. Be my guest. I speak not from theory, but from direct involvement as one of the contributors and witnesses to this exceptional 🇩🇯🇪🇹 partnership journey. And also a great friend and lover of Ethiopia. You may well find that an apology to Djibouti is in order. Djibouti is not a burden. Djibouti is and has been a #strategic #multiplier for Ethiopia. It is time to move beyond misleading narratives and return to facts.
