Ntabwo ari ubwa mbere EAC yagira ibibazo. No mu myaka iri imbere bizabaho ahubwo unasenyuke. Njye numva ko atari Kagame utera ibibazo muri EAC. Tanzania, Uganda na Kenya ntibigeze bumvikana kuri gahunda y'uwo muryango. Muribuka ko wigeze kumara igihe kirekire utabaho warahagaze. Ndumva waramze imyak 20 udakora. Iyo ukora neza cyangwa abawugize ngo basabe u Rwanda kuba membre, u Rwanda ruba rwabaye membre no mu gihe cy'ubutegetsi bwa Habyarimana. Habyarimana yirinze kujya muri ayo macimbirane.
Mureke bakomeze bizurungute muri ayo macimbirane. Uwo muryango EAC ntacyo umaze uretse guhemba abakozi bawugize.
Nkuko nabivuze mbere ahubwo ntangazwa no kubona ko Kagame yari yaratinze kujya muri muri ECCAS kubera ko iyo atumije aba Perezida bawugize ari bo baza mbere kurusha abagize EAC na SADC. Cya cyongereza Kagame yazanye mu Rwanda rero ndabona nta mubano mwiza cyamuzaniye.

In the case of Burundi, it is a member of both blocs.Angola, too, retains membership of Eccas even as it continues being part of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC).Eccas is a regional community of 10 central African states, namely; Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, DR Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Sao Tome & Principe.The New Times also quoted Rwanda's ambassador to DR Congo, Amandin Rugira, saying that Kigali had applied for readmission to Eccas and chances were "very high" that it would be welcomed back during the bloc's next Heads of State summit.The summit is scheduled to take place early next year in N'Djamena, the capital of Chad.In his speech on Thursday in Parliament, President Kikwete said Tanzania will never quit the EAC and will do everything in its power to ensure the bloc survives and becomes prosperous despite seeming efforts by Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda to sideline it.He told a full House: "We're in the EAC to stay. We have come from so far. We have sacrificed too much to give up now. We will do everything in our power to make sure the EAC survives and achieves its ultimate goal of political federation."__._,_
