Abu Amama
Abu Amama was a proposed new seaport located 200 km to the north of Port Sudan on the Red Sea. It had an attached enterprise zone. A 450 km road from Abu Hamad, an economic zone, an airport and an agricultural zone of 400,000 feddans (415,000 acres) was included in the project.[1]
AD Ports Group of Abu Dhabi and Invictus Investment of Dubai have signed a preliminary agreement in 2022 with Sudan to build and operate the port and an economic zone in the Red Sea with a US$6 billion investment. Sudan was entitled to 35% of the profit of the investment.[2]
On 3 November 2024, the Sudanese government cancelled the agreement, accusing Abu Dhabi's of support for the Rapid Support Forces in the Sudanese civil war (2023–present).[3]
