Typical bongo lala. U cannot cherry pick the truth and chose what to believe or not. From your said article the Kenya SGR is going to Rwanda and Burundi.
Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position.
The said article also states
The flagship Belt and Road project is Kenyaβs 290-mile railway from the capital, Nairobi, to the port city of Mombasa, which opened to the public last year.
There are plans to extend that network into South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi; it was already the countryβs largest infrastructure project since independence.
Now get the real picture on the ground, neither Uganda nor Rwanda has made commitment to Kenya's SGR and aside that 80 km/h railway is to compete with 120 km/h to transport cargo from Mombasa and Bagamoyo n Dar ports repectively aside Tanga port a gateway for crude oil from Uganda, DRC n South Sudan .
The comparison with Shenzhen may not be so far-fetched, says the China-Africa specialist Lauren Johnston of New South Economics. βWould visitors to Shenzhen in 1980 have believed what would be unlocked by that sleepy port?β she says. βBagamoyo could become an industrial gateway not only for youth-filled Tanzania but half a dozen landlocked African countries. There are parallels.β
The proposed radical transformation of the Bagamoyo coastline is an unofficial extension to east Africa as part of Chinese president Xi Jinpingβs Belt and Road Initiative β and is just the latest in a long line of China-in-Africa projects.
