I personally think this is a totally stupid idea. Here in England the channel tunnel has been more of a detriment than benefit. I think linking Africa to Europe is stupid and whats more stupid is Europe paying for some of it. If Spain and Morocco what this, they should pay for it.

funding will be a large problem for this project.

A great name for it:

Highway Jihad.
