Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
End of the line
for 'Lunatic Express?' Kenya begins multi-billion dollar railway.
It was over a century
ago then the colonial ruler, the Great Britain, built the first railway system
called “Lunatic Express” on the ground of Kenya. It was half a century ago when
Kenyan people became independent from the ruler.
Today, a new
emerging superpower is going to help the African country upgrade the train
system, China, providing financial aid and getting contract for construction in
return.
While enjoying
their independent status as a country from the colonial ruler, many of the
countries in Africa are still dependent on various sorts of aids from other
developed countries or their former sovereign states. Does this sound similar
situation to the one about a couple of centuries ago?
Enjoy reading and
learning about what African countries need and how China is trying to help or
take advantage of it.
