Assuming Kenya avoids a protracted and
costly intra-national war, maglev routes
and supurb locations depend to an extent
on engineering and economic interest
shown by neighbors like Tanzania (purple
line or orange coastal line) and Uganda
(green line replaces purple line). Vertical  
links to Sudan, Somalia and Ethiopia
would be of considerable benefit to those
countries as well as to Kenya. Kenya must
avoid its national AIDS threshold.
