Africa's richest broke ground on a new $16-billion mega-refinery in Kenya on Wednesday, saying it marked a "new chapter in Africa's industrial journey". Aliko Dangote created Africa's biggest oil refinery in his native Nigeria and the east African version at the port of Lamu will have a capacity of 700,000 barrels per day -- larger than any in Europe. The project, which aims for completion within 30 to 40 months, has already faced a lawsuit from a local community over land rights. A court ruling published on Monday said the ground-breaking could go ahead, but the case will continue. (Photo by Luis TATO / AFP via Getty Images)
