Abstract: | Though less than three years ago the heads of government of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania signed a declaration of intent to federate, in their stand on international issues and in their political systems, marked differences are developing among these countries. The moving apart is seen most clearly in terms of economics. The sights are now set, not on federation, but on modus vivendi, short of a complete separation. The article further describes the divergences between the countries concerning the internal politics and the foreign policies. |
