Tanzania has outlined plans to extend railway links with Uganda, giving its landlocked neighbour easier access to the Indian Ocean for shipping and cargo.
The plan, agreed by Presidents Samia Suluhu Hassan of Tanzania and Yoweri Museveni of Uganda during weekend talks in Dar es Salaam, includes extending Tanzania’s standard gauge railway (SGR) to Uganda via Lusahunga and building a separate line from Tanga to Musoma on Lake Victoria.
