This is 40. Officially on the 4th floor and the view is getting better. I thank God for his Grace & Mercy for allowing me to reach this age. I hope for more unpacking in this new decade. Unpacking of burdens, things & people – only carrying what is necessary. Cheers to a new age.

Biden in Angola: Tanzania and Zambia Take ‘Connecting Africa’ Position on Lobito Corridor Amidst U.S.-China Rivalry

U.S. President Joe Biden concluded his trip to Angola on Wednesday, December 4, 2024, with a meeting attended by Angolan President João Manuel Lourenço, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President Félix Tshisekedi, Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema, and Tanzanian Vice President Philip Mpango.

The meeting dubbed the Lobito Corridor Trans-Africa Summit, focused on a transregional infrastructure project connecting mineral-rich southern DRC and northwestern Zambia to western markets via Angola’s Port of Lobito, utilizing the existing Benguela rail network in Angola.

Supported by the U.S. and the European Union, the project is being implemented by a consortium of three multinational companies: Singapore-based commodity trader Trafigura (49.5%), Portuguese civil construction group Mota-Engil (49.5%), and European railway operator Vecturius (1%).

“When I launched this project with our G7 partners last year, I said our goal was to build a better future. And, folks, the future is here. It’s now. The future is here,” President Biden told fellow leaders.

Mradi wa Kabanga Nickel unatazamia kugharimu kiasi cha Dola za Marekani Bilioni 2.2 ambapo zaidi ya Dola Bilioni 1.6 zitatumika kwa ajili ya shughuli za ujenzi wa mgodi na uchenjuaji wa madini utakaofanyika wilayani Ngara,Kagera na Dola Milioni 600 zitatumika kwa ajili ya ujenzi wa kiwanda cha usafishaji wa madini(Multi metals Refinery Facility) ambacho kitajengwa katika ukanda maalum wa kiuchumi(Special Economic Zone) eneo la Buzwagi,Wilayani Kahama,Shinyanga.

Kampuni ya BHP ni moja kati ya kampuni kubwa 3 za madini Duniani ambayo ina mapato Dola Bilioni 60 kwa mwaka sawa na Tsh Trilion 160 kwa mwaka.

Kampuni ya BHP inayotazamia kuingia makubaliano ya ubia na kampuni ya Life Metals kuendeleza mradi wa Kabanga, ilifunga shughuli za uchimbaji madini Barani Afrika miaka 15 iliyopita na sasa wapo tayari kurejea Afrika kupitia nchi ya Tanzania.

Waziri Mavunde alitumia fursa hiyo kuwashukuru kwa kuiamini Tanzania na kuamua kurudi kuwekeza kupitia mradi wa Kabanga na kuwahakikishia kwamba ni maelekezo ya Mhe. Dkt.
