Significance Kenya and Tanzania, whose ports are the main gateways into the region, offer a critical trade conduit for their landlocked neighbours. However, rising COVID-19 caseloads in both countries -- and Tanzania’s laissez-faire approach to the virus -- are aggravating regional tensions as the virus tracks trade across borders. Impacts The entire region is vulnerable to global economic shocks, but small, landlocked nations will be especially exposed to trade bottlenecks. Supply chain issues will greatly exacerbate food insecurity, which is already under threat from a locust plague and major floods. Kenya-Tanzania tensions may rise, as differences over containing COVID-19 graft on to longstanding trade competition.
