Tanzania's chance to rise to the occasion

NAIROBI: Among the residents of the East African countries, Tanzanians have long been deemed less excitable, politically. For as long as Tanzanians were comfortable, their political rallies were not the rumbustious type like those experienced in Kenya or Uganda.

For a taste of political ruckus, the joke went in Tanzania's social places, most tuned into Kenyan TV stations where this is served daily. Political dissent is unheard of in Tanzania.
