Magufuli's Rwanda trip sets stage for new order in East Africa
The arrival of Tanzania President John Magufuli in Rwanda on Wednesday for a two-day official visit marked a special moment for East Africa.
First, it signified thawing relations between Dar es Salaam and Kigali after years of feuds following a fallout between Dr Magufuli's predecessor Jakaya Kikwete and President Paul Kagame over claims that Tanzania favoured the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR).
But even more critical, President Magufuli's maiden trip abroad since his election in 2015 signifies a deep resolve to restore Tanzania's clout in the region and shake-off the recent 'lone-ranger' tag among other East Africa Community (EAC) partners on key integration issues such as trade and infrastructure development.
