What do Namibia Cameroon and Tanzania common?
Kenya and Tanzania, apart from being neighbors in East Africa, are both relatively robust democracies, with multi-party presidential systems, democratically-elected legislatures, and independent judiciaries. Despite the open political systems, corruption remains a problem in both nations, as well as many other developing countries. Both populations are overwhelmingly Christian, with large Muslim minorities. Both are former British colonies. However, while Tanzania's road to independence was relatively peaceful, Kenya's involved a bloody rebellion (the Mau Mau uprising).
Both economies rely heavily on agriculture, and also have fossil fuel sectors. Tourism is important to both countries, as the natural landscapes of the Great Lakes region (including Mt. Kilimanjaro) are stunning, and eco-tourism (safaris) are very popular among visitors.
Both countries are ethnically very diverse, with a heavily rural population. A key difference between the two is in how different ethnic groups get along; in Kenya ethnic tensions are still strong, and flare up into violence every few years, while Tanzania has very little ethnic violence. This is due in part to the different ruing styles of the two countries' post-colonial rulers. Jomo Kenyatta of Kenya emphasized giving government largesse to his own ethnic group, the Kikuyu, while Julius Nyerere emphasized the fact that all of his people were Tanzanian, rather than members of a tribe.
The Namib Desert covers most of Namibia but a small part of the Kalahari Desert also enters the country.
