« Chaque nouvelle piste que nous construisons comble un fossé, libère le potentiel économique régional et rapproche nos peuples. Notre compagnie aérienne nationale, fierté de l'Afrique, qui célèbre cette année ses 80 ans, incarne véritablement
“Every new runway we build bridges a gap, unlocks regional economic potential, & brings our people closer together. Our national flag carrier and pride of Africa now in its 80th year is indeed “The New Spirit of Africa!” H.E. @AbiyAhmedAli#NegeleBorenaGedaAirport@flyethiopian
Securing water infrastructure remains a key milestone in building resilience, marked by the completion of irrigation dams under the Finna Oromia Irrigation Projects in Gomole Woreda of Borena Zone. In Dese Gora, for example, this critical infrastructure has created a massive water storage capacity of more than 190 million cubic meters, ensuring a reliable and sustainable water supply. The projects have the potential to irrigate over 14,500 hectares of agricultural land, directly supporting households, strengthening food production, and securing water resources for livestock.
We inaugurated the Borana Cultural Center today in Yabelo town. The foundation stone for the center was laid in 2020 (2013 Ethiopian Calendar) by First Lady Zinash Tayachew, and it has now officially opened for service. Built using proceeds from the sale of the book Medemer, the center sits on 57.6 hectares of land.
The center was specially designed to showcase the Gadaa system. It features a conference hall with the capacity to accommodate up to 2,000 people at a time, as well as a heritage museum and is expected to play a key role in preserving and passing on the culture, history, and philosophy of the Borana people to future generations.
The massive Borena Water Supply Project, is transforming lives across the East Borena and Borena zones by providing communities with reliable access to clean water.
Through the development of thousands of kilometers of pipelines, resilient infrastructure, advanced pumping stations, and large-scale reservoirs, we are doing more than combating drought. We are safeguarding public health, strengthening livelihoods, and unlocking agricultural potential for generations to come.
