Is there any demand to djibout? or political reason

Well there is a strong demand from rwandans buisnessmen, because the Djibouti's harbour provides important links between East Africa and rest of the world. Maybe tax are chipest than in Dar es Salaam or Mombasa Harbour. :D :D However Tanzania and Rwanda plan to build a rail link between Kigali and Dar. Planes against train. What's the matter ? lol But the main reason of all these projects is to developp the COMESA. Cheers, Rwandan spotter
