Ethiopia's dependence on Djibouti port for maritime trade
Ethiopia's heavy reliance on Djibouti for over 95% of its maritime trade creates structural fragility, leading to congestion, disruptions, and a drain on foreign currency reserves.
Background
Ethiopia, a landlocked nation, has historically relied on neighboring countries for sea access. Its relationship with Eritrea has been volatile, leading to periods where Djibouti became the primary conduit for Ethiopian maritime trade. This dependency is a significant economic and strategic factor for both nations.
