Well, at least Rwanda polls were peaceful

The 126.6 million inhabitants of the EAC region have every reason to hope that the next bout of elections — in Tanzania this October — and the general election in Uganda, slated for next year, will be peaceful.

The EAC secretariat has correctly stressed that the integration process, currently at its second stage, after the launch of both the Customs Union and the Common Market, can only move to the next level, which is the establishment of a Monetary Union and eventually a Political Federation, if there is peace in the five member states.
