Tanzania is the second most populous country in Africa, it has one of the highest GDP's on the continent, the cities are a bit more modernized than the rest of Africa. Roughly half the Tanzanian population still lives in poverty, but compared with most of the rest of Africa, it is a more advanced country with functioning market economies. It's definitely a player on the world stage. Tanzania did not undergo a recession in 2007-2010 when the rest of the Western world did. It has strong mining and agricultural industries, modern sea ports and airports, and halfway decent internal transportation infrastructure. It's also home to jungles, savannas, and Mt. Kilimanjaro, it's a major tourist destination and one of the safest countries in Africa. It's also the number one source for Swiss chocolate. That's why (((they))) had to take Magafuli down. He kicked the WHO out of the country and fucked up their organ harvesting and sex trafficking operations.
