Tanzanian President John Magufuli has urged his government's Ministers to "take advantage" of refugee crises and make money by selling food to international aid organisations. The country hosts around 300,000 refugees. Speaking in the nation's capitol, Dar es Salaam, Magufuli celebrated the signing of a contract to deliver 36,000 tons of corn to the UN World Food Program (WFP) for around $9.1 million. The European Union and the World Bank recently moved to sanction Magufuli's government for its repressive policies.
