Chinese-financed Project in Sierra Leone Cancelled

The Agenda for International Development published on 25 September 2020 an article titled "China's Infrastructure Investment in Africa -- A Case of Sierra Leone" by Saite Lu, University of Cambridge. 

The author looks the Mamamoh Airport project in Sierra Leone.  The World Bank and International Monetary Fund were critical of the project.  In 2018, Sierra Leone signed a financing contract with the China Export-Import Bank.  A new government in Sierra Leone cancelled the project the same year.
