Rwanda and Tanzania have started to mend relations after almost two years of a cold war between the neighbours, which was threatening to undermine regional integration.
The strongest indication of the thawing of relations was when Tanzania’s President Jakaya Kikwete honoured an invitation by Rwanda’s Paul Kagame to attend the recent 9th Northern Corridor Integration Projects summit in Kigali.
