Airport Mysteries

About the Book

Tanzania has come a long way since Deogratius Nsanzugwanko was sitting in an airport and saw four unusual business-class passengers scurry across the terminal. When he saw the big rats, he felt a sense of shame as they did not even wait until the terminal was empty to make their passage. It was their territory, and they knew it. But the recent accomplishments at the Julius Nyerere International Airport, terminal 2, and the newly constructed terminal 3 in Dar es Salaam, the largest city in Tanzania, have instilled a new sense of pride in the country’s people. In this book, the author examines how the airport has been so vastly improved while also sharing his observations about airports throughout the world. He also highlights what life is like as a whole in Tanzania, seeking to find out why the country is one of the poorest and why the government was mismanaged for so long. Join the author as he takes a critical look at major economic issues, governance, and politics, using the international airport as a case study of progress in Tanzania.
