50 Cyclists, 5 Countries, 6,500 Kilometres: The Ride That Could Reshape East Africa

Fifty cyclists clipped into their pedals in Kampala and pointed their wheels toward the horizon, carrying with them a message that no summit or signed treaty could quite deliver the same way. Across Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi, they will cover 6,500 kilometres of tarmac, dust, and elevation. This is soft diplomacy on two wheels, and it is moving faster than you might think.
