An important new road link is planned for East Africa that will connect Ethiopia and South Sudan. The two countries recently agreed on the construction of a new road connecting Paloch, Mathiang, Maiwut and Pagak.

The highway will link Western Ethiopia and North Eastern South Sudan, boosting trade and transport for the area. It will boost the economic links between the two nations and is expected to help improve stability in the area.
