London-based businessman Saifee Durbar has a novel approach to making
Africa self sufficient.

Durbar plans to span Africa by linking Sudan in the east with Cameroon
in the west with a railroad that goes through the Central African
Republic.

Minerals and other raw materials found in the Central African Republic
will be used to construct the railroad.

Saif Durbar sees this project as a completion of the vision for
African ascendancy that started with the Suez Canal.
