AFDB study highlights North Africa railway links
The report highlights the Maghreb Railway Connectivity Project, which aims to unify the railway networks of Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco to strengthen economic and trade integration in the region. The project involves upgrading cross-border sections and linking the three countries' networks with the goal of reducing travel time from approximately 48 hours to 25 hours, lowering transportation costs, and decreasing carbon emissions. The project is a priority within Africa's infrastructure development program but faces political obstacles such as tensions between Morocco and Algeria, border closures, and the estimated cost of $3.8 billion. Achieving its objectives will require strong political commitment and financial resources from the involved countries.
