Bid for hegemony
The University of Rwanda’s Kayumba believes this partnership is part of Tanzania’s broader bid for economic hegemony in the region as it seeks to promote its port as the principal destination for huge markets in East Africa’s hinterland.
“I think that Magufuli is exploiting the differences between Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya to give incentives for Rwanda and Uganda to invest in the southern corridor over the northern corridor,” he says.
“Broadly, this is part of the struggle for economic supremacy between Kenyan and Tanzania which is unfolding in the region.”
