Algeria Launches New Railway Across Sahara

Algeria launched a railway line of about one thousand kilometers on Sunday, crossing the desert to transport iron ore from the south of the country to the north. This major infrastructure project aims to improve logistics and boost economic development. The new railway will connect mining regions with industrial centers on the coast. It is expected to lead to an increase in exports and the creation of new jobs. "This is an important day for Algeria," said an official. "We are opening a new chapter in our economic history." The project was implemented with the support of international partners and cost billions of dollars. The new line will significantly reduce the time for raw material delivery and lower transportation costs.
