President Yoweri Museveni invited regional leaders for the regional summit on counter terrorism in Uganda to be addressed by Prime Minister Netanyahu. All leaders showed up except Tanzania and Burundi. For Burundi, i don't blame him, his country is still unstable and he suffered a failed coup the last time he left the country. Even President Kiir showed up despite economic crisis in the country. Tanzanian President Magufuli didn't turn up but sent his foreign minister as other heads of state from the region went there in Person. Since then the regional diplomatic circles have been debating why. Could it be that Tanzania was the only country President Netanyahu skipped on his regional visit. Has the recent warming of relations between UG-Tz cooled down. Of particular interest is the oil pipeline deal which it has now emerged that contrary to Tz promise to UG on Total commitment, it actually isn't funding the project. Tz has yet to get alternative finance and its intention to borrow $7 Billion funds is not possible for any lender under Tz junk credit rating. Could President Pombe be avoiding M7 to explain the fiasco?
