Highlights
- As Tanzania’s 2020 general elections approach, President John Magufuli and his ruling party will not modify their controversial domestic policies due to their popular support.
- As a result, Tanzania’s relations with the European Union and other Western powers will likely remain weak for the foreseeable future, cutting the country off from Europe's foreign aid in the process.
- Other countries such as China are unlikely to step in and fill the funding gaps left by Tanzania's eroding relationship with Europe.
