[Mwanamalundi]

This is typical sub-saharan africa. The statistics tell. After all, just like any sub-saharan africa, this is how the situation in rwanda looks like

 

[Masanja]

Mwanamalundi, kwenye hizo statistics, ndo unaona unafiki na uzandiki wa IMF NA WB wanatupa figures wakati watu wetu wanakufa kama nzi! Yaani hizo picha angeziona Zoelick rais wa WB..nadhani angekuita uwe msaidizi wake...sasa hapo kweli huo uchumi wa 5% sijui 7% unamnufaisha nani? aise hii dunia hii tunapigana changa la macho mno!

 

[Lusajo]

Nashangaa Tanzania haipo katika nchi ambazo zina -Export bidhaa zake kwenda Rwanda. Inabidi tujitahidi kuzalisha vitu na kuuza katika nchi jirani. Naona Wa-China kila mahali.
