@gyude_moore For a Lagos to Mombasa transcontinental railway, this is the alignment I would go with. Lagos-Yaounde-Kisangani-Kampala-Nairobi-Mombasa. 5,265km Lagos to Mombasa. Kigali would be served on a 180km branch from Ishaka.

Aujourd’hui, notre CEO, @hmryder, a rencontré Son Excellence M. Ibrahima Sory Sylla, Ambassadeur du Sénégal en Chine pour un échange productif sur le renforcement de la collaboration entre Development Reimagined et l’Ambassade.
Ils ont discuté de la manière de mieux s’aligner sur les priorités de l’Ambassade et ont exploré des moyens concrets par lesquels Development Reimagined peut apporter son soutien, notamment en contribuant à accroître la visibilité des opportunités d’investissement du Sénégal auprès des partenaires chinois.
La réunion a également mis en évidence l’importance d’adopter une approche plus large, à l’échelle du continent africain, dans l’engagement avec la Chine, en développant des partenariats qui favorisent les investissements durables, la croissance économique et le renforcement de l’action africaine à travers le continent.

Well part of the issue is that there has been precious little funding for hydrocarbons in Africa.
African countries would do well to focus on a greener, more resilient future. Whoever goes green rapidly, wins.

Many African countries have only a few weeks of fuel left. Source: Bloomberg Extremely alarming. Gas pumps are running dry in many African countries as the Iran war chokes off shipments through the Strait of Hormuz forcing African governments to scramble for alternative sources of fuel and battling more powerful and wealthier economies to secure fuel. Eastern and southern African nations in particular rely on the Middle East for 75% of their fuel supply. The only bright spot on the continent is Dangote’s huge new 650,000 barrel per day refinery in Lagos, Nigeria, which can supply all of Nigeria’s needs and still has capacity for export. MY VIEW: Africa has to urgently find a permanent solution to this recurrent problem to ween itself-off imported oil. Full story including the graph below available from Bloomberg (paywall).

China’s decision to grant 100% tariff free access to African exports marks an important step in Africa–China trade.
In an interview with @NewsCentralTV , Development Reimagined economist Rugare Mukanganga, @rugrat001 explains why this matters for Africa and how it aligns with the goals of the African Continental Free Trade Area. @AfCFTA

Earlier today our CEO, @hmryder paid a courtesy call to H.E. @derbew_yimam , Ambassador of Ethiopia to the People's Republic of China, during which they exchanged ideas on deepening collaboration between DR and Ethiopia.
The discussion explored how we can support Ethiopia’s investment promotion efforts in China and showcase the country’s dynamic economic opportunities to Chinese investors and partners.
The conversation also highlighted broader opportunities to strengthen Africa–China cooperation, including identifying strategic partnerships that can contribute to sustainable development and economic transformation across the continent.

Our colleagues in a new article on The Southern African Times explains how the African Continental Free Trade Area @AfCFTA is already shaping investment decisions.
Using the case of KEDA Ceramics, the article highlights how local manufacturing and sourcing can help firms benefit from Africa’s growing economic integration.

Kenya and Rwanda are preparing a framework that would allow digital payments companies licenced in one country to operate in the other without seeking fresh regulatory approval, a move that could ease cross-border expansion for fintechs across East Africa.

The Hormuz shock is a stress test for Africa. Without progress on the integration project, African states cannot navigate the emerging multipolar order and its wars that deliberately mangle access to critical supplies. Where we need leadership on the integration agenda 👇🏾

As African countries seek to expand their market horizons, signing formal trade deals is a more strategic choice than relying on default conditions even when market access appears free.

African leaders can hold all the summits they want, and sign all the protocols they can.
But as long as they aren’t bothered with the actual work of connecting the region it will be all for naught.
Summitry isn’t Pan-Africanism. Summitry isn’t work. Talk is cheap.

Congolese travellers returning from Livingstone, Zambia, recently spent eight night hours crouched at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport waiting for a flight to Addis Ababa, where they would connect to Kinshasa, a journey of nearly 7,000km and more than 10 hours in the air. Zambia and the DRC share a border, one traveller noted. A direct flight from Lusaka to Kinshasa would cover the 1,872km distance in under three hours. But no such route exists. zurl.co/EE7XN

Reactions continue to trail the escalating US–Israel–Iran tensions. Much attention has focused on African diaspora communities in the Gulf but what about African economies?
Higher energy prices, rising shipping costs and disrupted supply chains could have continent-wide effects.

A reminder that the *total* activity in these 10 busiest ports on the continent is approximately the same managed by #China’s 3rd largest port (Shenzhen, Guangdong province). We have much to do to improve our regional logistics to the appropriate scale for global manufacturing

So fortunate to work with incredible women that are our partners/clients or in the team @DevReimagined. I truly believe that many ideas & impacts we’ve had - on policies & systems - would not have happened if we were not majority-women owned & led. We hope for many more to come.

China–Africa green finance must move beyond simply funding projects to financing models that truly support Africa’s energy transition, industrial growth, and climate resilience.
How can this be achieved? Our latest discussion paper explores practical pathways to strengthen China–Africa green finance cooperation.

What a deserving recognition. A strong, intelligent and articulate voice for the world, not just for the developing nations. This ought to be the future UN Secretary General. A woman who can help uplift the organization and multilateralism in general!
