Thread: 1/ New legislation from @KarenBassTweets on upcoming elections in Tanzania aims to protect human rights in Tanzania and multi-party democracy there. https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-resolution/1120/text?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22tanzania%22%5D%7D&r=1&s=1">https://www.congress.gov/bill/116t... #Congress #Tanzania #US

2/ The legislation is important for US businesses because of Tanzania& #39;s economic potential and recent actions by the government there that have jeopardized the strong business and economic ties. One company in dispute with the Tanzanian government is @SymbionPower

3/ @SymbionPower Symbion is a company that delivers energy infrastructure projects around the world. The language in the bill drafted by @KarenBassTweets includes investor protections that will not only open up opportunities in energy infrastructure but in services too.

4/ Bills such as this don& #39;t get a lot of traction in the press but have an undeniable impact on the #US because a) it promotes US values abroad such as property rights, open markets and b) increases international commercial opportunities

5/ timing is unclear but follow this one closely if you invest in #Africa
