Dar es Salaam. The United States has unveiled plans to extend the Lobito Corridor, a critical transport route that links Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia all the way to Tanzania’s Indian Ocean shores.

This strategic initiative, designed to tap into Tanzania's abundant mineral reserves and bolster regional connectivity, marks a significant shift in Africa's geopolitical landscape.
