East Africa Oil

Africa is embracing oil and gas. Oil from the Lake Albert field is about to start flowing down the pipeline from Uganda to the port of Tanga in Tanzania. Dangote has said he'll build a refinery there as well, so long as everyone in the region agrees. The pipeline has been built so that oil from the DR Congo and South Sudan can also travel along it. Not all oil is being exported, a percentage is held back where it is extracted, to support local businesses in Uganda. Things are really looking up.

Uganda Industrialising

Uganda is the world's seventh largest producer of coffee, but now it is starting to exploit its abundant oil and gas fields, and its high quality iron ores. They export a proportion of oil and gas but keep back some to underpin local industry. 

Iron ores are now banned from being exported in raw form. All iron ores must now undergo some kind of processing before being exported, and these ores are some of the highest quality in the world. Obviously, along with that industry comes road and rail improvements and upgrades to airports for bringing in spare parts.
