Sudan’s EAC entry to be decided this week

The Minister in Charge of East Africa Affairs, Monique Mukaruliza has announced that reviewing North Sudan’s application to join the bloc is among the top items for the 13th Ordinary Summit of the EAC Heads of State, that kicks off Wednesday in Bujumbura, Burundi. “Both, North and South Sudan applied to join EAC but the Khartoum government’s application came in before, which is why it will be reviewed first,” Mukaruliza said.
