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 #Congress #Tanzania #US

2/ The legislation is important for US businesses because of Tanzania'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'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
