Tuko tayari kutumia jeshi letu la majini kukusanya waliopoteza maisha, waliopotea, na kuweka hali sawa. Lakini ili kuweza kufanya hivyo, utawala wa kijeshi lazima uturuhusu kuingia nchini humo.

2008

Tunaghafirishwa na serikali ya Myanmar kwa inavyojivutavuta kupokea na kukubali usaidizi wetu. Ni wazi uwezo wa serikali hiyo siyo mkubwa kuweza kukabili hali iliyopo, ambayo ni janga"

Balozi wa Marekani Umoja wa Mataifa akiwaambia waandishi wa habari

"Madaktari wetu wanao uzoefu wa kimataifa na wanaijua lugha ya kiingereza ambayo itawawezesha kuwasiliana na waathirika. Tupo tayari, tunasubiri tu majibu ya serikali ya Marekani."

MANDELA BADO NI GAIDI MAREKANI

"Afrika ya kusini ni nchi ambayo tuna mahusiano mazuri nayo kwa sasa, ni jambo lanalotia aibu kwamba inanibidi kuondoa kikwazo cha pingamizi la kibali cha kuingia nchini (cha viza) kwa mwenzangu, waziri wa mambo ya nje wa Afrika ya kusini, na hata kwa kiongozi mashuhuri Nelson mandela,"

- Condoleeza Rice, akitetea muswada wa kuwaondoa viongozi wa chama tawala cha Afrika ya kusini, ANC, katika orodha ya vikundi vya kigaidi.

Mpaka sasa wanachama wa ANC huwa wanahojiwa kwa undani wanapotaka kuingia Marekani. Mwaka 2002, mwenyekiti wa ANC Tokyo Sexwale alinyimwa visa. Mwaka jana aliyekuwa balozi wa Afrika ya Kusini umoja wa Mataifa tangu 2002 mpaka 2006, pia alikataliwa visa ya kwenda kumuuguza nduguye mpaka baada ya huyo ndugu alipofariki dunia.

MAHOJIANO NA THOMAS MAPFUMO

Thomas Mapfumo, mwanamuziki aliyehamasisha vita ya ukombozi wa Zimbabwe anadai kwamba Komredi Mugabe angeshakubali kuachia ngazi na kuwapa MDC uongozi wa serikali Zimbabwe. Anasema tatizo ni kwamba maswahiba wa Mugabe hawatamruhuzu mzee akubali kushindwa kwa vile wanahofia kushitakiwa kwa kukiuka haki za raia na serikali mpya ya MDC. ..

Mapfumo yuko ziarani Australia. Niliongea wiki iliyopita kuhusu muziki wake pamoja na siasa ya Zimbabwe.

Mtazamo mbadala: Shivji ahoji tuzo ya Mo Ibrahim

Kwenye kurasa za Pambazuka kuna mawazo mbadala ya Profesa Shivji kuhusu tuzo ya utawala bora aliyopewa Chissano. Na kabla ya Shivji kupandisha makala yake, mwanazuoni Horace Campbell alikwishapandisha nyingine siku chache kabla.

pamoja na mengi mengine Shivji anaanza:

"Mo Ibrahim’s prize for a retired African president which was awarded to Joachim Chissano of Mozambique was in my view an insult to the African people." Issa Shivji raises a number of questions around the award such as how and what is "good governance" and why is it only applied to Africa? And most importantly "for which and whose democracy they are getting a prize".

Endelea na makala ya Shivji kwa kubofya hapa.

Horace Campbell kaandika kirefu zaidi:

According to the media, "Mo Ibrahim, a Sudanese-born telecommunications entrepreneur, established the prize as a way of encouraging good governance in a continent blighted by corruption and a frequently loose adherence to democratic principles." Not a word is mentioned about the living conditions of the people of the Sudan from where Mr. Ibrahim hails…..

But, isn’t this prize also a sign of the political retrogression in Africa? The idea of a President voluntarily stepping down is now so novel in the face of leaders such as Museveni and Mugabe that Chissano indeed stands out. Compared to Robert Mugabe and Thabo Mbeki, and their megalomanic policies, Chissano does look good.

While announcing Chissano as the winner, Kofi Annan may have gone overboard by saying, "leadership should be the ability to formulate a vision and to convince others of that vision. It should be the skill of giving courage to accept difficult changes to make possible a longer term aspiration for a better and fairer future."

Endelea hapa.

Madhumuni ya tangazo la biashara kwanza ni kuvutia na kushika jicho la mnunuzi. Kwa hilo jamaa wa American Apparel wameweza - kushika jicho.

Cha kushangaza, hivi hawakuweza kupata mrembo mkubwa kwa umri kidogo, halafu akasitiri kidogo kifua chake, ambaye wasingempaka masizi kumfanya awe mweusi tii. Nijuavyo Marekani kuna weusi tii kwa wingi.

Sina hakika mlengwa wa biashara hii ni nani, japo tangazo limezua gumzo.

MWANZO WA MWISHO WA SIASA ZA RAFU?

"Zitto amekuwa Zitto, wapinzani sasa wamepata hoja, wametuzidi katika hoja, tunapaswa kuchagua viongozi walio bora ili (wapinzani) wasituzidi katika hoja.

"Inashangaza Zitto ambaye amepewa ‘red card’ bungeni kushabikiwa na idadi kubwa ya Watanzania wakiwemo wana CCM ambao walikwenda Jangwani kumlaki na kumsikiliza wakati akitokea Dodoma, ni lazima tukisafishe chama ili wapinzani wasije kutupiku,"

- Naibu Katibu Mkuu wa CCM, Kapteni Jaka Mwambi
DAIMA, 27-08-2007

Hoja bin hoja kama hivi tutafika kwenye hoja bin haki, akina Zitto wasikome kuzua hoja tutoke kwenye siasa za pilau anazosema JK hapa.
