Tanzania's move to reserve small businesses for citizens sparks EAC tensions

31st July, 2025

The decision by the Tanzanian government to reserve small businesses exclusively for its citizens has triggered a storm within the East African Community (EAC), raising concerns over the spirit of regional integration and free movement of people and goods. The move has drawn criticism from business stakeholders and regional leaders who argue that it undermines the principles of the EAC Common Market Protocol, which allows for equal business opportunities across member states. Several cross-border traders have expressed fears of discrimination and economic exclusion, urging EAC leaders to urgently address the issue to prevent further strain on regional cooperation.
