  1. Make it two: one from Egypt to Cape Town, and one from marocco to Dacar and then the coast of west africa to Nigeria and then connecting to the South-Sudan/Uganda/Kenia railway network), as well as a northen line from marocco to cairo.

  2. That would be a great project that could boost inter-african trade and boost the economies, esp. for the landlocked countries. Although initially a single track unelectrified line should be built, it should be prepared to be upgradable for double track rail and electrification and (partly) highspeed also. And with many branches. And a western and eastern north-south line (one from Marocco to Dacar and then all the west african coastal countries, the other from egypt to cairo as a direct railway link connecting Khartoum, Addis Abeba, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam and further all the way to cape town).
