Angola: Debunking the Myths of the Lobito Corridor
Analysis - If hypocrisy needed a railway, it would look exactly like the Lobito Corridor. It is being hailed as a symbol of African progress. In truth, it is a mirror of everything negative the continent endures: Chinese debt, Western opportunism, Congolese blood, Angolan misrule—and a railway that connects foreign interests more efficiently than it connects the people who live along its tracks. It promises prosperity while delivering the same old extraction dressed in new flags.

Considered Angola’s crown jewel by many, Lobito is a colorful port city on the country’s scenic Atlantic coast where a nearly five-kilometer strip of land creates a natural harbor. Its white sand beaches, vibrant blue waters, and mild tropical climate have made Lobito a tourist destination in recent years. Yet under its shiny new facade is a history fraught with colonial violence and exploitation.

Chuck DarwinWorried about strategic vulnerabilities, Washington is now ramping up efforts to carve out a stake in the #critical #minerals sector.
In one of the most ambitious U.S. infrastructure bids in #Africa yet, the Biden administration has pledged to lend hundreds of millions of dollars toward reviving the #Lobito #Corridor,
a 1,200 mile-long #railway that would transport critical minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia to the Angolan coast.
The DRC is home to the world’s biggest #cobalt reserves, while Zambia is rich in #copper.
Chrysoula Zacharopoulou 🇪🇺🇫🇷RT by @CZacharopoulou: The enduring #Zambia - #France relationship is stronger than ever.
Held talks today with @CZacharopoulou on a wide range of issues including our goal to connect 🇿🇲 to the Atlantic & Indian Oceans, via trade corridors like the #Lobito.
Here’s to deepening ties between 🇿🇲&🇫🇷

La RDC, la Zambie et l'Angola vont exporter des minerais via le corridor ferroviaire de Lobito
Les chefs d’État de la République démocratique du Congo et de l’Angola se sont retrouvés mardi 4 juillet en Angola pour une cérémonie officielle pour sceller un accord visant à optimiser la ligne de train du corridor angolais de Lobito. L'optimisation de cette ligne va permettre de relier cette ville portuaire aux principales régions minières des deux autres pays, leur ouvrant un accès direct à la façade Atlantique, avec plusieurs avantages économiques à la clé.
