BaL,
my African experience is southern.
Hmm, the entire mass of Tanzania lies south of the equator
. I was in Bukoba, the northernmost town of any size last month, and it's 1 degree south of the equator.
think that ONE man is a dictator and it will end in tears
Tanzania is one of the most politically stable and peaceful countries in Africa. President Magafuli was democratically elected last November in elections. Yes, it's not perfect by any means, but the Commonwealth Observer Group concluded that the elections were held freely and fairly. Magufuli is very popular amongst the electorate so far and even has a hashtag on Twitter#WhatWouldMagufuliDo which is actually very amusing.
