Africa Is Building a Railway to Connect the Whole Continent!

Описание: A railway stretching over 6,220 kilometers is rising across East Africa — a project so massive it could change the continent forever. The East African SGR is more than transport; it’s a bold statement that Africa is building its own future. From Kenya’s coastal ports to Tanzania’s electrified tracks and Uganda’s new lines, the Standard Gauge Railway Africa is becoming one of the most transformative infrastructure projects in modern African history.

In this deep dive, we explore how the East Africa railway project will connect eight countries — Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, DRC, and Somalia — into one unified economic corridor. We examine how the Northern and Central Corridors are being built, Tanzania’s electrification breakthrough, Kenya’s expansion toward Uganda and the DRC, and Uganda’s strategic push with the Malaba–Kampala SGR.

With over 1,120 kilometers already operational and billions in funding secured from institutions like the African Development Bank, the SGR Kenya Tanzania Uganda network is accelerating faster than ever. This video breaks down the progress, the politics, the engineering, the funding, and the potential economic impact — from faster cargo transport to regional industrial growth and the dream of seamless intra-African trade.

We also look at the DESSU Corridor and how future networks may connect the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, creating a continent-wide rail system. The African mega projects discussed here show how nations are turning plans into reality, reshaping trade routes and redefining Africa’s place in the global economy.

If you want to understand the future of African logistics, transport, and regional cooperation, this is the complete breakdown of African railway development you’ve been waiting for.
