Summary​

• The CRDB Bank has so far invested over Sh250 billion to facilitate smooth operations of the project through issuance of guarantees for Yapi Merkez

Dar es Salaam. CRDB Bank Plc said recently that it was able, willing and ready to finance construction of the next Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) phases if the government agrees.

The bank’s managing director, Mr Abdulmajid Nsekela, said at the weekend that after participating in financing of the first and second sections of the project, the lender was willing to do the same for the remaining parts.

CRDB has so far invested over Sh250 billion to facilitate smooth operation of the project through issuance of guarantees for Yapi Merkez.

It has also financed the operations of local sub-contractors and suppliers to ensure that work does not stop.

“We have participated in lots 1 and 2, and are ready to also finance lots 3 and 4 if need arises,” Mr Nsekela said at the weekend when the Bank’s board of directors and senior management toured the project to get a firsthand account of its progress.

Over 90 percent of construction work of the Dar es Salaam to Morogoro SGR is completed.

Yapi Merkez’s Planning Engineer, Maureen Tizzy, said the 202km project is almost done.

“This train will have the capacity for 35 tonnes and its speed will be 160km an hour. It is modelled on the European system, and a train from Europe can operate on this single line system,” Engineer Tizzy said. She also said that the electric installations, communication systems and passenger ticketing system are at different stages of completion - all averaging above 80 percent, hence meeting the client’s deadline.

“The Dar-Morogoro lot will have six stations only as per Tanzania Railway Corporation’s specifications,” she said, adding that a majority of the project’s employees are Tanzanians who are gaining skills from Yapi Merkezi and Mota-Engil Engenharia of Portugal.

Ms Tizzy noted that, while 20 percent of the project’s workers were supposed to be expatriates, the number of locals has since increased, thanks to stringent work permits issuance.

She said the Tanzanian SGR has a bigger capacity compared to Kenya’s which has an axle load of only 25 tonnes. “This means Tanzania’s SGR can carry more freight and people than Kenya’s,” she noted.

CRDB Board Chairman Ally Laay and MD Nsekela queried why there are only six stations between Dar and Morogoro, also the cost of constructing the overpass over Nkrumah Road which was later demolished.

Project Manager Giray Kumas said the six stations are as per TRC’s specifications, while demolition of the Nkrumah Road overpass hardly increased project costs. “This structure had to be demolished because of a number of factors in the crowded area which has a lot of different infrastructure systems,” Kumas said.

Ethiopia, Djibouti railway link restored after protests​

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 04 2021​

Passengers queue to ride Ethiopia's new tramway on September 20, 2015 in Addis Ababa. A crucial trade route linking Ethiopia to the sea port of Djibouti resumed operations on August 3, 2021 following days of protests over a local conflict.

​

Summary​

• In mid-July a senior government official, Redwan Hussein, accused some aid groups of "arming the other side", meaning the TPLF, but gave no details.
• Aid workers have complained that, even though Abiy declared a humanitarian ceasefire in late June, aid access in Tigray is as bad as ever, hobbled by insecurity and bureaucratic hurdles.

A crucial trade route which links landlocked Ethiopia to the sea port of Djibouti has resumed operations after days of a blockade by protesters from the Somali region.

The railway was closed came after a large number of Afar regional militia crossed borders to Somali and carried out deadly attacks.

Somali youths retaliated by blocking the Ethio-Djibouti railway which passes through the Afar region.

A government source on Tuesday told Nation.Africa that operations resumed after federal and regional officials held discussions with communities in Somali and Afar.

According to the source, both passenger and freight transport services have been restored.

It's not yet clear why the Afar militia carried out the latest attacks but the two regions have a long-standing territorial dispute.

Somali regional government spokesperson Ali Bedel said the attacks have been carried out in Somali's Sitti zone of Gedamaytu and Gabraiisa areas.

Last week, Somali authorities confirmed that at least 300 people, most of them locals, died in the violence, which began on July 24.

With a population of over 115 million people, landlocked Ethiopia relies on Djibouti for roughly 95 percent of its import and export trade.

The 752-kilometer Ethio-Djibouti railway line, built at a cost $3.4 billion, has been providing passenger and freight transport since January 2018.

Seventy percent of the railway line’s total cost was financed by loans from the Chinese government with the Ethiopian government catering for the remaining 30 percent.
