Uganda has canceled all contractual work it signed with China Harbour Engineering Company to build a 273-kilometer standard gauge railway from its border with Kenya to its capital in Kampala. Uganda is now courting Yapi Merkezi, the Turkish firm building Tanzania’s railway, and is awaiting response from it after signing a memorandum of understanding to start the project. This came after the project failed to kick off eight years later. Is East Africa trying to turn away from China ?
