    Tbh all the infastructure building and investment is in coordination and agreement with local authorities . China wont push to build trains over roads or roads over trains unilateraly. Just both at whatever capacity is agreed to in each deal. And they have been building a lot of rails and train infastructure in Africa so obviously they and the governments and people they deal with want and use trains. They also use cars.

          I mean the people in this thread implying that thr roads should have been railways instead, not the developers working with local authorities.

          I'd bet that most people here couldn't point to Tamale (or even Ghana) on a map without looking it up, but carry on like they know what's best for the place.
