UPDATE: Obama Africa Trip Highlights Senegal, South Africa and TanzaniaThe following article has been updated with comments from the President of Eastern Africa Diaspora Business Council. Obama’s current tour highlights Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. “Tanzanian leaders are poised to learn a great deal from President Obama’s leadership style, which is rooted in the politics of conviction and not politics of convenience,” Ezekiel told Tadias. Benedict was comparing the East African intergovernmental organisation comprising five countries: Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, with the BRIC economies: Brazil, Russia, India and China. Nevertheless, Benedict added, President Obama needed to engage more with the Diaspora for a “multitude” of reasons.
