ADDIS ABABA, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- Ethiopia-Djibouti railway has resumed operation, an Ethiopian official said on Thursday.
Speaking to reporters, Dina Mufti, a spokesperson for Ethiopia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the rail line as well as road links between Ethiopia and Djibouti is working smoothly.
Mufti said the Ethiopian government is working to solve resource-based tribal conflicts that sometimes take political turn and disrupt economic activity in the east African country. For several days last month, the 752.7-km Ethiopia-Djibouti railway was disrupted.
The Ethiopia-Djibouti railway which connects landlocked Ethiopia to Djibouti port only resumed operations in recent months after it had previously been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ethiopia conducts about 95 percent of its import-export trade through ports in Djibouti. Enditem
