Tanzania s wind of change under President Samia Suluhu this week blew towards mending fences with at least two key African Union-backed institutions that had fallen foul of her predecessor John Pombe Magufuli’s government.
Foreign Affairs Minister Liberata Mulamula on May 26 announced the country’s move to formally ratify the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and restore working relations with the African Court of Human and People’s Rights, saying that Tanzania had only “removed itself from the clause” binding it to the Court. It is not clear whether Tanzania has written to the AU to reverse that 2019 decision.
