Ndjamenaâ€“Djibouti Highway

The N'Djamena - Djibouti Highway connects the capital of Chad ( N'Djamena ) with Djibouti and thus the Sahel with the Indian Ocean. He belongs to the system of the Trans - African Highways, which is operated jointly by the UN / ECA, the African Development Bank and the African Union.

The route traverses the Sudanese region of Darfur, where the extension of the line has come to a standstill because of the Darfur conflict.

The highway is a total of 4219 km long. Less than half of which is fixed, and a large part of the road is in bad condition. In Ethiopia, it leads through hilly terrain, which also makes it difficult to expand.

On the section between Wad Madani in Sudan and Ethiopia Werota in the line runs together with the Cairo - Gaborone ( Cape Town ) Highway. In the west it connects to the Dakar - N'Djamena -highway and connects to it to a 8715 km long east -west route through the African continent. The route follows about that of a planned by the French colonial power route that should be used to control the whole region - efforts that led to the Fashoda crisis later.
