Description
Description | Iraq reopened the strategic Rabia border crossing with Syria after nearly 13 years of closure due to ISIS control. This crossing is located in Iraq's north-western Nineveh province and connects to Al Yarubiyah in Syria. The reopening restores a key trade and transit route and is part of Iraq's broader Development Road project, a proposed 1,200-kilometre corridor of highways and rail links connecting Gulf states to Turkey via Iraq. The reopening is expected to boost trade, facilitate movement, encourage investment, and increase government revenues. |
