The one thing kenyans should pray very hard is for Tanzania to fail in its industrialisation drive. A country with more than 950000 Sq kms and a population of 50+ million is a market nobody would want to lose.

For the record, I studied economics in campus. If the data u have given us Is accurate then T.Z will lose this war brutally. T.Z needs Kenya more than Kenya needs T.Z.
First- T.Z exports goods worth 793 M dollars to KE. Also T.Z does not appear in the top 5 export destination for KE, infact we need UG more with export worth 534 M dollars (no.2 on the export list).

Hasa ukizingatia hatuwategemei sana kwa ajili ya importation

Tanzania inaihitaji sana Kenya likewise kwa Kenya. Ingekuwa otherwise tungesha fanyiana figisu siku 'mingi' sana. The only sister Tanzania has in East Africa is Kenya.. tunaelewana kuliko yeyote ndio maana tunashindana.

Haya yote ni utani wa jadi lakini when it comes to important things like security kelele zote hizi zinawekwa pembeni.

Square metres? That is pretty small!

U probably meant sq. MILES, but Tanzania is not even 900000 sq.miles, it it is in fact 950, 000 square kilometres, which is equivalent to around 360,000 sq. miles.

Hata kwenye hiyo security tunashindwa kushirikiana. Lini Tanzania ilikubali kuisaidia Kenya kwenye vita na Shabab? Pia, TZ mpaka leo haijatia saini itifaki ya ulinzi na usalama ya EAC eti kisa tayari tuna similar arrangements with SADC. SMH!
