Open Letter to His Excellency Évariste Ndayishimiye, President of the Republic of Burundi

Burundian President Ndayishimiye Is Constructing a Railway Linking Tanzania and Burundi to Break His Nation’s Isolation From Global Markets. This Is Revolutionary.

Dear Mr. President, I would like to share my thoughts on the Burundi-Tanzania $US$2.15 billion railway project. As I understand it, this project will feature a fully electrified 282km international standard gauge line, which is expected to be completed by 2030.
