Sudan Government Announce $643 Million Investment in Railway Network Redevelopment

Sudan government announce $643 Million investment in Railway Network redevelopment - The Sudan railway network, half of which is abandoned, is set for a US$ 643 million makeover as part of current Sudan government efforts to revive an economy ravaged by decades of dictatorship and global isolation. The African Development Bank, China State Construction Engineering Corp. Ltd., and unidentified Gulf firms, according to Sudan Railways Corporation (SRC), are keen on assisting the North African country in restoring the approximately 2,400 kilometers of idle rail lines.

The railway networking project will be carried out in stages. The government intends to spend US$17 million in the first stage on emergency repairs to parts of the network that are currently in use. This network, according to the SRC's general manager, Waleed Mahmoud Ahmed, during an interview with sudan news agency, is critical for the country's economic development.
