Brookings published on 6 July 2017 an article titled "China and the East Africa Railways: Beyond Full Industry Chain Export" by Yun Sun.
The author analyzes the construction of two standard gauge railroads--one from Mombasa to Nairobi in Kenya and the other from Djibouti to Addis Ababa--by Chinese construction companies and largely financed by loans from the Export-Import Bank of China.
