I thought about a railway transporting goods that crosses Africa, from coast to coast. From Boosaaso port to the other side, maybe ending in Nigeria or further.
I even thought funding, gulf nations have to cross South Africa to transport oil to the Americas so they benefit from transporting quicker through the railway, also they could sell to landlocked countries. China would be involved in funding too since they’re interested in Africa for recourses and that exports.
Maybe the railway could split to Berbera port for risk reduction.
Billions of revenue would come in from the port.
The difficulty is cooperating with many African countries for funding the railway maintenance. So an independent company would have to manage funding of the railway for quality control.
This could still happen in reality since landlocked Ethiopia can use Berbera port, or could possibly extend to South Sudan and Central African Republic, and perhaps further.
The port owners would be immensely rich.
It’s not too expensive, Hindus and Chinese would work on building the railway.
And Somalia would only have to fund the part of the railway in our country, we might even share funding with private companies or states.
