Nairobi (Kaab TV) – The East African Community (EAC) countries are optimistic that their economies will be boosted through the coastal port of Mogadishu in Somalia, once the war-torn Muslim state is allowed to join the community.
Somalia has been unsuccessful previously to joining this economic bloc despite several attempts of applications.
Recently a team of experts from EAC partner states were in Somalia for a verification mission to assess the country’s readiness to join the bloc.
The East African Community is an intergovernmental organization composed of seven countries in the Great Lakes region of East Africa: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the United Republic of Tanzania, the Republics of Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, South Sudan, and Uganda.
