Adi-Keih — The Minister of Fisheries, Mr. Ahmed Haj Ali, stated that the construction of the Demhina-Karibosa road, in the Adi-Keih sub-zone, is a strategic route that symbolizes the history of the historic sites of Adulis and Kohaito dating back to 3,000 years and that of the struggle for independence.
Mr. Ahmed Haji Ali together with the Minister of Tourism, Ms. Amna Nurhussein, visited the road in which the Administrator of Southern region, Mr. Mustafa Nurhussein, accompanied them. Mr. Ahmed stressed the impressive tasks being accomplished on the basis of domestic capacity, taking into consideration the tough terrain of the area. He also commended members of Biddho Construction Company and the regional administration, who are actively engaged in the undertakings.
Pointing out that the construction of the road would reinforce the historic ties of Adulis and Zula with Kohaito, Keskese, Belew-Kelew and other sites, Mr. Ahmed noted that the road will also play a significant role in promoting social services to village communities along the road.
Ms. Amna on her part underscored that the area is endowed with rich tourism potential. Reports indicated that a number of tourists from inside the country and abroad are visiting the Demhina-Karibosa road.
The ministers also visited the newly built College of Higher Education in the town of Adi-Keih at a cost of 80 million Nakfa.
