Africa’s high-speed trains nobody knows about

PD Lawton was on my podcast a few days ago, chatting about violence against Christians in Nigeria. Her knowledge of Africa is so good that I invited her back to discuss a topic nobody knows about: a high-speed railway network being built across Africa.

One reason nobody knows about it is that it's part of the Belt and Road Initiative (which is Chinese), and Western media doesn't like that. Another reason is that it's an uplifting, positive story, and people tend to consume negativity and doom-scroll.
