However this layer represents the road component only mapDigital The Massawa Corridor is not currently functional as a trade route between Eritrea and Ethiopia due to the unclear status of the borders. Prior to the 1998 conflict and subsequent closing of the borders, both countries enjoyed what was essentially a common market. Cross-border trade flowed freely, with neither tariff nor non-tariff barriers. Eritrea’s introduction in 1997 of its own currency, the Nakfa, made cross-border trade more complicated, but had little impact on commerce. Ethiopia also had full access to the Eritrean ports of Assab and Massawa with its own customs facility in Assab where they cleared imports destined for Ethiopian markets. It is recommended that a bilateral agreement is signed between the two countries to revert back to their former status as a starting point for continued relations. The map annotations was generated to describe/ annotate in details features of interest in the current status(as at 2019) of physical infrastructure on the Massawa Corridor, 2019 as well as in the other horizons described below Their are four other horizons by which one can visualize the status of the Massawa Corridor. The other horizons are; 1. Short Term(2020 to 2024) 2. Medium Term (2025 to 2030) 3. Medium Term (2030 to 2050) Additionally map annotations are added onto the map completed IGAD Secretariat DJIBOUTI DJI originator unknown http://geonode.igad.int/uploaded/thumbs/document-dd529532-2b2c-11eb-b429-02d5b8a24ad6-thumb.png?v=7a8e127a Thumbnail for 'Massawa Corridor Annotations' image/png ESRI Shapefile 1.0 PIA2: Market and Trade GOAL 9: Industry Innovation and Infrastructure theme Global place license Not Specified: The original author did not specify a license. copyright No Restrictions vector eng utf8 transportation 36.3350208410001 40.0039958240001 9.01018997900007 15.7803606570001 2020-11-20T15:44:00+00:00 2020-11-20T15:44:00+00:00 Massawa Corridor Roads map annotation.
