ReplyDelete''If you want to go faster go alone (ISOLATE OTHERS LIKE TANZANIA AND PRESIDENT Dr.KIKWETE BUT BE SURE THAT NO WHERE YOU WILL REACH, YOU WILL MUST END IN VAIN), but if you want to go far go together INCLUDING TANZANIA AND BURUNDI'' !!!
We Tanzania appreciate many Slogans in our EAC but numbness has touched us following continuous isolation of our leaders and countries in some Key EAC matters!
