Tanzania and Burundi have signed multibillion-dollar infrastructure projects, with their sights on the huge Democratic Republic of Congo market.

The deals come at a time when DR Congo has inched closer to joining the East African Community, after the EAC technical committee okayed its bid. The Council of Ministers is expected to deliver its verdict in November in time for the Heads of State Summmit.
