Last update: 8 hours agoUAE-Comoros Energy Boost: Comoros has switched on three UAE-financed solar power plants across Grande Comore, Anjouan and Mohéli, adding about 20 MW of capacity plus battery storage and new transmission lines. The projects, funded by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (about AED84.4 million) and implemented by Masdar with Global South Utilities managing, are expected to generate around 33.75 GWh a year—enough for roughly 17,500 households—and cut reliance on imported diesel. Maritime Security Tension: Yemen’s Coast Guard says it intercepted the Comoros-flagged tanker Nerida after it unloaded “unauthorized” cargo at Ras Issa port in Houthi-held Hodeidah, without UNVIM approval, highlighting continued disputes over oversight of shipments into monitored ports. UAE Education Links: The UAE’s International Student Scholarship Programme has supported 668 students from seven countries including Comoros since 2016, with 330 still studying and 338 graduates.
