On 11 November 2025, Wardheer News reported, citing Capital as its source, that Egypt is set to participate in the construction of new port and logistics facilities in Djibouti. The report describes an intention to participate, not work under way. No agreement is reported as signed, and no contract, contract value, budget, funding source, contractor, consultant or implementing entity is named for any element. The originating Capital report could not be independently examined.

The report states that an Egyptian delegation, led by Mohamed Fathy Moussa, met Aboubaker Omar Hadi, Chairman of the Djibouti Ports and Free Zones Authority (DPFZA). The extract does not give the year of that meeting, and it does not state Mohamed Fathy Moussa's role or title. According to the same report, the initiative is expected to be finalised during an upcoming visit by Kamel El-Wazir, Egypt's Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development, scheduled for the coming weeks. No date is fixed, and the documents do not confirm the visit has taken place.

## Projects described in the report

The report states that discussions covered the main points of an agreement to be signed during the visit, addressing several strategic projects:

- A 20MW solar park, described as intended to make the SGTD Port a fully green port.
- A 10-hectare logistics zone, described as intended to promote Egyptian exports to regional markets under CIF Djibouti terms. The report does not give the zone's location.
- A new container terminal with a 1,450-metre quay, an 18-metre depth and an annual capacity of 5 million TEUs.

These are projects described in the report, not confirmed or funded works. The 5 million TEUs is stated capacity, not recorded throughput, and no terminal is reported as completed.

Wardheer News reported that the DPFZA stated these projects will collectively enhance Djibouti's status as a leading maritime and logistics hub in the region. That is a DPFZA statement, not a finding by Somali Construction Review.

## What the documents do not establish

No timeline, start date or completion date is given for any element. No agreement has been signed; the report describes main points of an agreement still to be signed. The report does not establish what has happened since 11 November 2025: no follow-up report, confirmation of the visit, signing, start of works or cancellation appears in the documents examined.

> **Note:** Every claim above is attributed to Wardheer News (2025-11-11), which cites Capital as its source. The originating Capital report was not independently examined.
