China is increasing its influence in Africa
China is expanding its influence in Africa by building and controlling key ports from Kenya to Djibouti.
China's construction of ports and port infrastructure in Africa has become an important tool of influence amid the growing competition for trade, investment, and mineral resources opportunities from world powers.
Recently, Chinese companies have implemented at least 17 port projects on the East African coast. These include Mombasa, the ports of Lamu in Kenya, Dorale in Djibouti, Dar es Salaam, Tanga, Bagamoyo, Mtwara in Tanzania, Port Sudan and Sheikh Ibrahim in Sudan.
