Africa's INSANE Plan To Connect The Entire Continent By High Speed Rail

All African games - Afrail Express Casablanca to Cape Town Rail Project To Revolutionize Transportation in Africa - Imagine this: a sleek, silver bullet train gliding silently across the vast African plains, past herds of zebras and majestic baobab trees. This isn't a scene from a futuristic sci-fi film - it's the ambitious vision of the Afrail Express, a high-speed railway project aiming to revolutionize transportation across the continent. But can this steel serpent truly carve its path through millennia-old landscapes, and what impact will it have on the future of Africa?
For decades, Africa's vastness has been a double-edged sword. While it boasts rich resources and diverse cultures, its fragmented infrastructure has hindered economic growth and regional integration. Currently, most rail transport in Africa relies on colonial-era tracks, offering slow speeds and limited connectivity. This is where the Afrail Express steps in, promising a quantum leap forward.
The Afrail Express isn't just a high-speed railway project; it's a colossus aiming to reshape the African continent. The first phase itself stretches a staggering 8,500 kilometers (5,279 miles), making it a contender for the title of the longest railway in the world - imagine traversing a distance similar to London to Beijing via bullet train! This ambitious undertaking will weave its way through breathtaking landscapes and bustling cities, connecting economic powerhouses like Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Lagos with Windhoek, Luanda, Kinshasa, and many more.
The first phase of the Afrail Express high-speed rail network isn't just a single line; it's an intricate web designed to connect a staggering 80% of Africa's population. This ambitious undertaking will weave together three distinct passages.

[@patrickdegenaar9495]

I would LOVE to travel on an inter-african trainline. It would be fantastic!! However, I'm sceptical about Afrail. It is listed as a single person owned company based in the Cayman islands, with very opaque finances that has been running since 2014. So that should raise alarm bells with fake crypto investments. If the could make money on the rail system, then they should be raising investment on that basis. But then they suggest using Maglev technology - that is incredibly expensive, which is why it has never been successfully implemented commercially without incredible subsidy. Inter-African rail networks are needed! but the starting point should be state to state connections with traditional rail and high speed rail technology

[@ax1338]

Thru say it's out of Namibia that they get the green light but even Namibia might just be a bystander to the ultimate benifits of this ( if any given a US company is heading this)!

A fantastic project as Africa needs this type of infrastructures , My only concerns are the rail tacks will go across animal migration routes and many animals will get killed, due to being struck By such a fast moving trains, therefore, there needs to be careful planning By the railroad builders.

[@azraellucifer5589]

As moroccan this project is very ambitious and would really help our continent to prosper ! But the second phase in north africa won't be possible because of the conflict with Algeria ! a country that's blocking the devloppement of the whole north african region because of it's old suviet / military regime ..

[@cb250nighthawk3]

I think the above ground type of maglev train would be more suitable and conducive to the African landscape.

Exactly especially with its lower maintenance costs and operating costs and higher top speeds also more flexible routing designs too I think this project IS maglev actually this is a maglev project as stated later in the video. If you watched the whole thing

[@charlesblusanovics8978]

@UnitedAfrica-uw9ct just read it.. what stood out is democratic governance, this one is key as you need government accountability to the people and not just adulation for a new strongman leader. The goals established 11 years ago do not seem closer now. Overcoming tribalism, interrelgious harmony, the battle against Islamic jihadism, these challenges are still present. Increased peace and reduction in the number of conflicts stood out. The goals enumerated are all laudable, Not really seeing the cooperation needed to attain the targets, the amount of coups and instability isn't helping and the default " blame the west" for lack of progress while getting into relationships with undemocratic Russia and China seems counter-intuitive. These 2 countries luckily for them do not have "African colonial" history but doesn't make them any less colonial ( ask Dagestan, Chechnya, parts of Georgia, Tibet and the uyghurs )

The constant barrage of mostly daft stock footage is really hard to stand. Just like the crypto coin thing it instantly casts a lot of doubt. Looks like another colonial project. pegged to the dollar... you guys know the Americans don't have any modern train technology right? While China has just built a comparable domestic network...

[@marcusc5257]

It seems pegging to the USD allows for greater leverage of the funds raised, due to exchange rate. The other thing, the U.S. does not employ high speed rail not because it can’t. It doesn’t do it because it is beholden to the automobile and fuel industry that have each been king since early 20th century. High speed rail means less demand for automobiles, and the auto companies wouldn’t like that.
