Tanzania has had a good year so far, and President Samia Suluhu Hassan has not been very modest about her country's good fortunes. She has happily rubbed it in the face of her East African Community partners.
In March, President Samia caused a stir when she mocked an unnamed East African country that had only foreign exchange to last a week and ran to Tanzania looking for dollars to pay for fuel. Though she didn't name the country, it was presumed to be Kenya, which was going through a rough patch with forex at the time. She didn't help, sending the emissaries away empty-handed with a white lie about Tanzania itself being in a tough spot.
