Seminar: Military Modernization and the Tanzania-Zambia Railway Project

Speaker: Prof. Jamie Monson, Humboldt University, Berlin. This trans-national railway line (TaZaRa) , stretching some 1865 km from the Indian Ocean to the Zambian Copperbelt, was China’s largest global development intervention at the time. Built in the midst of Pan-African solidarity as well as Cold War rivalry, TAZARA became an enduring symbol of China’s friendship with Africa.
