Chinese firms to build $2 billion Tanzanian rail to nickel mine
The new railway will link the port of Dar es Salaam to a nickel mine in neighboring Burundi.
A buildup of volatile gas hampered rescue efforts in one Chinese coal mine and water continued to pour into another as emergency crews raced to reach 42 people trapped yesterday for a second day, officials and state media reports said.
The accidents — a cave-in at one mine and a flood at the other — occurred on Saturday in two southern provinces after days of heavy rains.
