Storms force shutdown of key Angolan export route – media

Severe flooding has damaged bridges over the Halo River and forced an indefinite suspension of rail traffic

Flooding in Angola has shut down the Lobito Railway Corridor, a route for mineral exports from central Africa to global markets, Reuters reported on Sunday, citing operator Lobito Atlantic Railway (LAR).

The Lobito Corridor is a strategic rail network linking Angola’s Atlantic port of Lobito with mineral-rich regions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia.
