"Comme on le voit avec le CFCO, les chemins de fer en Afrique jouent un rôle considérable dans le désenclavement national mais aussi régional"
The CFCO is the "Chemin de Fer Congo Ocean" :http://www.dailymotion.com/group/32227/video/x1ruk9

I don't want to use the E loan word "desenclavement". Any suggestion ?

Beaucoup de sang a été versé pour la construction du chemin de fer Congo-Océan. Jusqu’à Brazzaville, le fleuve Congo permettait de traverser le pays. Au-delà, se posait le problème de l’accès à la mer. Les colons avaient donc besoin d’une voie de communication rapide pour y accéder. Objectif : créer un lien entre l’intérieur du pays et la côte.

To break national as well as regional landlockings
"Enclavement", landlocking, is a geographical feature: it is a form of isolation, but it is not isolation by itself.
A country can be deeply isolated without being necessarily landlocked (Erythrea), or landlocked without being totally isolated (Burkina Faso).
Therefore my proposal...
In my understanding, I see most translations suggested until now as applying to the consequences of unlocking, rather than to the very fact of unlocking.
NOTA: I'll be most interested by all possible comments...
