The world has undergone a profound transformation, and a new geopolitical phase has started.

North and South of Africa both do have fairly good infrastructure, while the inland areas are almost completely disconnected.

The east-west infrastructural axis must be further enhanced, but every project clashes with the harshness of climatic conditions and geography.
