Tanzania, Burundi and DRC to construct a standard gauge railway

[spencer]

Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) on Tuesday entered into an agreement to construct a standard gauge railway connecting the three countries in a move aimed at easing transport.

Isack Kamwelwe, Tanzania's Minister for Works, Transport and Communication, said after the signing of an agreement for the implementation of the project that the SGR will connect the two landlocked countries with Tanzania's Dar es Salam port.

Kamwelwe said feasibility studies being conducted by HP Gulf of Germany for the grand railway project will be completed at the end of January next year. He did not reveal the source of funding for the project.

On November 27, 2019, Tanzanian President John Magufuli said the governments of Tanzania and Rwanda were in final touches of negotiations to construct SGR from the Isaka dry port in Tanzania to Rwanda.

Magufuli told a public rally at Isaka dry port in Kahama district that the SGR will also serve landlocked countries of Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

"In principle, Rwandan President Paul Kagame has agreed to jointly implement the project," Magufuli said.

He said feasibility studies for the SGR linking Tanzania and Rwanda have already been undertaken, adding that the two countries were now looking for financiers of the project.

DR Congo the poorest country in the world itaweza kujenga SGR kama hata haina uwezo wa kujenga lami nje ya city zao? Unakuta lami ziko tu kwenye cities lakini nje ya city ni barabara mpararo. Halafu Burundi hata sitaki kuongelea maana bado wanatwangana, wao pia ni masikini wa kutupwa. Hawataweza kujenga SGR.

na Rwanda?

Rwanda wako afadhali maana wanaweza pata ufadhili na kupewa loan na world bank au China Exim au Afdb kwani wanaaminika na wana stable government inayoheshimika duniani kote. Uganda pia inawezekana.

 

[Mfiaukweli]

Burundi ni "maandazi economy", na DRC ni "failed state". Watapata wapi pesa za kuchangia huo ujenzi? Hizo nchi haziwezi kukopesheka

Jiwe anazidi tu kujidhalilisha.

Umefika Kinshasa? Au umekaririshwa tu kuwa DRC ni poor!! Tsk!

 

[Mfiaukweli]

na Rwanda?

Unatuabisha Watanzania wenzako. Rwanda inaweza (au kuwa na sababu) ya ku-finance amounts ambazo Burundi na DRC wanatakiwa kuzi-fund plus their own allocation?
Even a drunken donkey will clearly realise such a project is a non-starter.

Mbona hata Tanzania mlisema ni "among poorest countries can't afford to build SGR out of pocket?"

Ni mtu asiyejua uchumi wa dunia unavyokwenda ndio atasema DRC haina uwezo wa Kujenga SGR. Kumbuka DRC imekalia $25trl. Dunia mzima inajua hilo, investors waliopo DRC wapo tayari kushiriki ili kuvuna huo utajiri kama ilivyo kwa TOTAL walivyokubali kudhamini ujenzi wa BOMBA la mafuta ili kuvuna hayo mafuta.

Soma post yangu. Nimesema wamejenga barabara kwenye cities pekee. Huko kwingine ni majonzi tupu

 

[Tony254]

Mimi sikusema hivyo. Tanzania ni nchi inayopewa heshima na benki kubwa za dunia na hata loan mkitaka mnapewa.

Hahaa nani anaweza wapa Burundi loan? Nchi ambayo ina civil war?

Bomba lenyewe liko wapi?

Ninazungumzia kuhusu Tanzania kuweza kujenga SGR kwa kutumia pesa yako, wote mlisema Tanzania ni nchi masikini sana haina uwezo wa kujenga SGR ya umeme kwa kutumia pesa yake yenyewe, sasa hivi mnasema DRC ni masikini haina uwezo wa kupata mkopo.

Cha kwanza we sio mtanzania, cha pili uwezo wa kujenga wanao, investers wappo hawakosekani hata wachina wapo watachukua tenda
