For the second year running, the East African Community Heads of State Summit has failed to take off on schedule. First postponed from last November to February 29, the summit has been put off again, this time at the request of South Sudan.
As has happened before, the failure to convene is down to a lack of quorum. EAC protocols dictate that quorum for the summit is not attained until all member states are represented.
