TANZANIA isn't any more or less dysfunctional than the rest of what was German East Africa (exempting RWANDA) - or most of Sub-Saharan Africa generally (exempting CONGO - on grounds its the ultimate FAILED state - and exempting ETHIOPIA - on grounds of superior menschenmaterial and high culture).
YEARS back, I met the Tanzanian ambassador and was a guest at their embassy in Washington DC. Was clear to me that these diplomats were guys of MEANS who were able to spend as little time IN Tanzania as possible, and were running the same kinda GRIFT/CON that Holden Roberto did (albeit amidst far more serious/critical circumstances).
If you're well spoken, superficially cultured, know how to talk-the-talk in Beltway circles, you can get Federal agencies and NGOs to open their wallets. These African guys excel at this.
This documentary by Elizabeth Oma about the dictatorship in Tanzania should be trending globally. Tanzania is one of the worst countries in the world.
