Egypt’s plan is to create a road from Salloum to Benghazi linking, according to explanations provided before parliament by the country’s minister of transport, Kamel Al-Wazir.
“There was coordination with Chad regarding whether the route passes from Sudan or Libya, and we settled on starting from Libya, then Chad and then Congo,” Al-Wazir.
The infrastructure project – road, rail and ports – will facilitate internal and external movement and trade, and help prevent the accumulation of goods and containers in sea ports.
A total of 35 projects are planned at a total cost of $951,000 (15 billion Egyptian pounds.
