Kenya has opened a major new railway between the port city of Mombasa and the capital, Nairobi, 18 months early.
President Uhuru Kenyatta said during the launch that the $3.2 billion Chinese-funded line signaled a new chapter in the country.
According to BBC News, he warned that he would authorise the execution of vandals after four people were arrested damaging sections of a guardrail.
It is Kenya’s biggest infrastructure project since independence.
The 290 miles line is supposed to eventually connect land-locked South Sudan, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and Ethiopia to the Indian Ocean.
