Tanzanian premier visiting

    NAIROBI

    Tanzanian Prime Minister Frederick Sumaye, who is on a three-day visit to Rwanda, has said the 1994 genocide should serve as a lesson to African countries to live in unity and forget tribal, religious and racial differences, Tanzanian radio reported. The premier, who arrived in the country on Tuesday, also told journalists Tanzania could not influence the decisions of the ICTR. According to Rwandan radio, Sumaye held talks with his Rwandan counterpart Pierre-Celestin Rwigema during which they discussed bilateral cooperation, particularly in the transport sector. Rwigema hailed the establishment of an inland port at Isaka in northern Tanzania, which would ease transport problems to Rwanda.
