    China is to fund a feasibility study for a proposed railway link between Kigali and the northern Tanzanian inland port of Isaka, officials said on Thursday. “Isaka is conveniently located ... The construction of a railway line to Kigali will be an important development,” Rwandan Ambassador to Tanzania, Zepha Mutaguha, told IRIN. News agencies reported on Wednesday that Rwanda and China had recently signed a memorandum of understanding for the rail project.
