Why African leaders value seamless transcontinental links over US-China rivalry
For Washington, the Lobito Corridor rail project is meant to circumvent Chinese influence in Africa’s mineral supply chains. Once up and running, the corridor will stretch 1,600km (1,000 miles) westward through mineral-rich Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo to create a logistics corridor to the Atlantic port of Lobito in neighbouring Angola. The United States sees it as a direct rival to the China-backed 1,860km Tanzania-Zambia Railway Authority (Tazara), which stretches eastward from.

Procurement policy faces reality
Two years ago, the Punjab government decided, in principle, to discontinue direct wheat procurement from farmers. This decision was driven by the mounting financial burden of outstanding debt — incurred for wheat procurement but compounded by delayed repayments — which had surged to Rs680 billion by June 2023. Consequently, annual interest payments alone reached approximately Rs110bn in 2023–24. This raised serious concerns about the sustainability of the government-led procurement system. Aimin
