Again, I have no idea why you’re assuming these countries haven’t done due diligence before embarking on a megaproject like this. A really weird premise to start from to be honest.
If you wanted to make a serious critique then you should spend the time to actually learn about the project and criticize specifics instead of just making stuff up based on what your country does.
Why are you saying I’m being defensive when I’m simply pointing out that what you’re saying is unsubstantiated, and it’s not really possible to have a meaningful discussion without knowing the actual details of the plan. If there’s something specific you want to criticize then that would be an interesting discussion, but simply claiming high speed rail is a bad idea because reasons is just noise.
I know the post doesn’t have the details, hence it doesn’t really much make sense to make extrapolations you’re making based on the content of it. The post just says that Africa is building high speed rail, which I think is an interesting development. Whether there are going to be problems or not remains to be seen but to me this is clearly a positive development.
I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the actual economists in Africa have done the math here.

It’s a troll move. Make you do hours of work, you post, they do a new low-effort post and expect you to dance all over again.
Because if you won’t, you’re clearly avoiding the topic.
Flip the script and ask them to post, but sometimes you learn there’s another angle than you’ve been told. Sometimes.
