Should create a lot of business and opportunities for somalis living in NFD especially in Garissa. Will be major for region if this happens and they actually build and get funding to complete rail system. Never seen 20+ billion dollar project in east africa even gerd dam was not that costly

There is also more rails being proposed to connect east africa no consideration for somalia. This will make it harder and harder for our ports to be competitive to serve other countries its so much cheaper to send freight by train

 

[Hilmaam]

Its estimated rail is 3-4 times cheaper than trucks based on american study

Ethiopia imported 8.7 million tons of cargo over the last six months, with half a million tons of goods and commodities flowing the other way. More than 95 percent of the cargo passed through Djibouti, while 2.75 percent (primarily coal imports) moved via Tadjourah, and 1.78 percent through Berbera.


The bulk of the imports was moved from Djibouti to Ethiopia using trucks, while the Railway transported 14.65 percent of the total. The containerization mandate stands at 60 percent.

The lagoon of Lamu will require much investing in order for it too become a full port very beautiful landform it is like Mombasa you know and Its like zanzibar... But also let me tell you one thing it is also Somali let me tell you I Know someone You know but also somalia has this land form as well because check the map near Kismayo you will see it I told you natural port which only requires light dreding and construction of a port structure...

Al shabab are very active in lamu. I believe this is one of the reason why this port has failed to take off even though the kenya govt has invested a lot in it

I love @Hilmaam It's all down to developmental facts and he puts emotions out of it and shows how Somalis are effected
