Tanzania’s $2.2 billion trade route to DRC threatens Kenya’s trade influence in East Africa – experts say

• Tanzania’s SGR railway line to DRC is set to be completed in 2026.
• Once completed, this railway line could pose a threat to Kenya’s stronghold in the East African region.
• Kenya has a sub-continental railway line of its own, which is yet to be completed.

Tanzania’s current administration has placed a huge emphasis on growing its economy via establishing trade relationships both within Africa and with global partners.
