Hiki nimekisoma.

Fanon is fascinating.

Kimenifanya nikaenda kusoma "The Wretched of The Earth".

Fanon aliona mbali sana, yani kuna sehemu, hususan anapokuwa anaongelea migongano katika mapinduzi, anakuwa kama anachambua siasa za upinzani Tanzania leo.

Kitabu kinachoogopwa na watawala dhalimu.

N.B

Mfano : Huko Angola vijana walikuwa wakisoma kitabu cha Gene Sharp cha From Dictatorship to Democracy na kujadili njia za amani za maandamano. Siku mbili baadaye, wanaharakati wengine wawili walikamatwa. Angola 15 + 2

Angola In June 2015 the Angolan police arrested 13 human rights defenders, while they were participating in a meeting. They were reading Gene Sharp's From Dictatorship to Democracy and discussing peaceful methods of protest. Two days later, two more activists were detained. Authorities also charged two women activists - Laurinda Gouveia and Rosa Conde - but they did not detain them. The group of human rights defenders is known as Angola 15 + 2. Among the human rights defenders detained there are Domingos da Cruz, Afonso Mayenda (also known as Mbanza Hamza), Luaty Beirão, Manuel Nito Alves and Albano Bingo Source : Case History: Angola 15+2
