DJIBOUTI, 11 November 2026 Djibouti’s cabinet on Tuesday approved the return to state ownership of a 4-hectare plot registered to World Food Programme (WFP), the presidency said.
The site, located at PK20, has been placed at the disposal of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Solidarity for logistics operations, according to the cabinet statement.
The statement did not say why the land was being returned to the state, whether the move was agreed with the WFP, or whether the U.N. agency would continue operating at the site.
The decision was among several items approved at the 14th cabinet meeting, chaired by President Ismail Omar Guelleh.
Djibouti has long been an important logistics hub for the WFP, with food aid for Ethiopia and other countries in the region often passing through its ports.
