Au Rwanda pour faire simple

Les Sud Coréen, le Israéliens, et les Japonais c'est les nouvelles technologies et agriculture
Les Indiens le domaine de l’énergie. Ils se sont un peu diversifié car c'est eux qui généralement qui possèdent les distilleries, brasseries, plantations de thé et des magasins électroménagers depuis très très longtemps. Les Indiens sont au Rwanda depuis le début du 20 eme siècle. Un peu comme Les Libanais en Afrique de l'Ouest.
Les Qataris le tourisme et le transport aérien
Les Émirats la logistique
Les Turques la construction
Visiblement les Turques sont toujours très actif au Rwanda. Ils ont la clé la construction du centre de conférence à Kigali (il y avait énormément de retards avec Le Chinois) et l'Arena de Kigali, qui a permis au Rwanda de recevoir des compétitions continentale de Basket et de Volley. Ils devaient construire un nouveau stade à Kigali, mais finalement c'est l'actuel Stade Amohoro qui va être rénové (un des 2 stades reçevant des match de foot internationaux à Kigali)
Qatar Airways’ $2 billion investment in the Kigali airport attracts both Turkish and Qatari investors.
The airline's huge investment in the construction of the future Kigali airport, the largest ever made by #Qatar in Africa, is turning heads in Istanbul. Qatar Airways has launched a call for tenders for which it should announce the winner within a few weeks.
Qatar Airways spinoff Hamad International Airport (HIA) is currently prepared to spend no less than $2 billion on Kigali’s future airport complex, which will include hotels and logistical spaces.
The contract submission period ended in late 2021, and HIA plans to reveal its chosen bidder in the next weeks.
At least five consortia are still in the race, according to our sources. Four of them have formed alliances with well-connected Qatari businesses. UCC, a construction corporation led by the prominent Syrian-born Qatari business couple Ramez Al Khayyat and Moutaz Al Khayyat, is one of them.
This couple also owns Baladna, a publicly listed business that has been providing milk to Qatar since the 2017 ban, as well as Elegancia, a services, catering, and security firm. UCC is competing with Al Jaber Group, which is led by tycoon Mohammed Sultan Al Jaber, and CDC, which is led by Lebanese-born Qatari KhalilBoutros Al Sholy. For the project, CDC has partnered with Alfardan Group, for which it has erected towers and a number of St. Regis and Kempinski hotels in Qatar.
Midmac, the son of the Qatari emir’s uncle and former prime minister, Sheikh Hamad bin Abdulla bin Khalifa Al Thani, is the head of the fourth Qatari-connected group vying for the development of the Kigali airport.
Though the Turkish economy has been suffering for some years, Istanbul’s massive construction companies have attempted to capitalize on President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s strong personal relationships and perfect geopolitical alignment with Qatari emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
Three of the five remaining consortia have partnered with Turkish construction businesses. If Al Jaber is chosen as the successful bidder, he will collaborate with Ictas, a subsidiary of the Turkish conglomerate IC Holding, which is involved in building, energy, port and air infrastructure, tourism, and industrial projects.
Consolidated Contractors Co, a Greek firm that is presently working on various projects in Qatar, has partnered with Turkish firm Dogus. This organization employs over 19,000 people in construction, energy, the hotel industry, and media. Meanwhile, Midmac has partnered with the Turkish firm Tekfen.
After establishing a presence in Morocco and Lebanon, this company wants to expand into East Africa (AI, 18/06/20). It established a Qatari division in 2005, which just completed the Al Thumama Stadium for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in December.
The Portuguese business Mota-Engil, which had won the first phase of the Kigali airport until it was taken over by Qataris in 2019, has chosen UCC over a Turkish partner for the bidding. Similarly, Vinci’s Qatari subsidiary, QDVC, is not relying on Turkish construction and has made an offer to CDC.
The winning consortium for Rwanda will be decided by two senior Qatari officials. Qatar Airways chairman and founder Akbar Al Baker has the last word, but his deputy, HIA chief of operations Badr Al Meer, will also be important.
