"Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Crews Remove Containers from Ship Striking Bridge"

Salvage crews have begun removing containers from the cargo ship Dali, which crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore last month, marking a crucial step in reopening the main channel. The work will help safely move the ship and allow for safe access to remove sections of the bridge. Temporary alternate channels have been established, and plans are in place to open a new channel in the Port of Baltimore by the end of April and restore port access to full capacity by the end of May. Efforts are also ongoing to recover the bodies of the six construction workers who died in the collapse.

"Ethiopia's Red Sea Port Access: Tensions Rise Amidst Concerns of War"

Concerns are rising over the possibility of a new war between Ethiopia and Eritrea as Ethiopia seeks access to the port of Assab on the Red Sea. Ethiopia's access to the port has been limited since a border war between the two countries in 1998. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has expressed his country's desire for a port of its own, initially suggesting the use of force if necessary, but later emphasizing a peaceful resolution. Some analysts believe Abiy's focus on the port issue is a diversionary tactic to divert attention from internal economic and military crises. Eritrea has condemned Abiy's comments, and experts warn that pursuing port access through force could lead to further conflict in the region.
