@GaradShabeel Will this road go through Tuli Guleed? I've seen some Geri saying that on FB.

Yeah. It will go from Jigjiga through Tuli and Samakaab towards Haramukaale.
Then it must also be going through Jaare.
Only downside for us is that you won't be needing Lafaciise route to get to Jigjiga anymore. We should work together so we can get one paved further down to Lafaciise.

Isn't there already a road linking Jaare, Dambal and the main DD-Djibouti road?
I'm not sure if they have made some changes, but from what I remember of the original plan, it was supposed to go north-west from Tuli through Sariir and then onwards to Samakaab.

Redirecting traffic
It would be great to connect to LafaCisse as well. But this project was signed/financed by the federal authorities (The Ethiopian Roads Authority). We need to extort Oromia who wants roads linking East Hararghe with Awdal. I'm sure they would fund such a road going through both districts

I'm actually not sure, but there could be existing dirt roads. There's currently a road that's going to connect Jaare to Shabele and Dibirawayn in Dambal in the works.Isn't there already a road linking Jaare, Dambal and the main DD-Djibouti road? I could be wrong, but I think that the road is being mostly being built on unpaved land and passes through some of the mountainous areas west of Tuli.
Redirecting traffic is always great. I ain't complaining

They probably have that in mind, but I just don't see the incentive with the existing Jigjiga - Haroorays - Gobyare - Wajaale road. A paved road from Borama - Sheedheer - Lafaciise - Jigjiga would be a good development. If they're about economic integration then they would fund that.
