Men at work in a stone query used to make bricks to build houses on September 27, 2009 on Manda island in the Lamu archipelago, Kenya. The Kenyan government is planning to build the biggest port in East Africa close by. It is a multibillion-dollar project that could transform trade in this region and knit together Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, eastern Congo and southern Sudan as never before. Pipelines, rail lines, highways, airports, an oil refinery and extra-deep berths for 21st-century supertankers are all in the blueprints, though it is hard to imagine such infrastructure rising up along this long-neglected stretch of the Kenyan coast, dotted by crumbling ruins and impenetrable mangrove swamps.
