STORYLINE:

The Egyptian Ministry of Transport announced on Thursday the establishment of two logistical areas along the border with Sudan, a strategic move aimed at resolving the long-standing and economic problem of truck congestion.

The step aims to improve the flow of goods and transportation to alleviate truck congestion, thereby enhancing the trade dynamics between the two nations.

Truck congestion has been a persistent issue in the region, causing significant delays in transportation and trade.

The creation of these logistical areas is a strategic response to these challenges. By designating areas for trucks to park, load, and unload goods, traffic flow is expected to be better managed. The initiative could lead to improvements in transportation efficiency, reduced waiting times, and overall better trade operations.
