Operation of the Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – Djibouti, Djibouti railway has been officially handed over to a local company after being run by the two Chinese companies that built the project since it launched in 2018.

The planned handover saw the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) and China Railway Engineering Corporation (China Railway) pass management of the 752km line to Ethiopia-Djibouti Railway Share Company (EDR) after years of training its staff.
