With less than 24 hours remaining to the AU voting of the Chairperson, Raila Odinga might receive a very big shock after the SADC has rallied its 16 member states to support Madagascar's candidate.

Tanzania, a proud member of both SADC and EAC, has historically shown a stronger affinity for SADC—a stance that remains evident in its recent actions.

Take, for instance, the crisis in eastern Congo. While the EAC mobilized a regional force, Tanzania opted out, only to later join the very same mission under SADC’s umbrella (SAMIDRC). This deliberate move leaves little doubt about where Dodoma’s strategic priorities and loyalties truly lie.Image
