More about Burundi, starting with the presence of the African Union, moving on to the rebels, and ending with a discussion of the country's really really bad transport problems. It appears to still be raining in Bujumbura.
One point that I'll repeat on Doug's comment page: narrow gauge isn't a problem. Narrow gauge railroads can be upgraded to carry similar loads and operate at close-to similar speeds as standard gauge. They simply lose most of their initial cost advantage.
