Inaonekana Mkapa na JK walikuwa na mawazo tofauti on this issue. The rest ndio hiyo habari ya kuchukuliwa Kigamboni. Najiuliza ilikuwaje Mkapa alikuwa na uwezo wa kuwatolea nje hawa waamerika pamoja na presha zao?
Article 98 ---------- ¶3. (C) Minister Migiro took time out from the six-day ministerial retreat in Arusha chaired by President Kikwete (Ref A) and met with Ambassador Retzer to discuss peacekeeping and UN issues. The Ambassador outlined Ref B demarche and the advantages of concluding an Article 98 agreement with the United States. Migiro noted that as a signatory to the Rome Statute, Tanzania is committed to following the spirit of the agreement. The Ambassador pointed out that Article 98 had been included in the Rome Statute based on the understanding that a need for exceptions might arise. He emphasized that all but one of Tanzania,s neighbors (Kenya) have entered into Article 98 agreements with the U.S and have subsequently benefited from military training and military equipment grants that would otherwise not have been available. As the U.S and Tanzania,s bilateral military to military relationship grows, he noted, such opportunities could be augmented if Tanzania signed onto an Article 98 agreement. Migiro said she would look into the issue further and follow-up with the Ambassador.
