Cable ya Kibalozi kuhusu Tanzania

[Tokyo40]

Ifuatayo ni mawasiliano ya Ubalozi wa Marekani kuhusu Tanzania.

Katika Cable, kuna mkutano baina ya Waziri Wa Mambo ya Nje Mr. Malecela na Balozi anayehusika na mambo ya Afrika, Mr. Donald Easum, Umoja wa Mataifa, New York mwaka 1974. Pia kulikuwa na Balozi wetu UN, Mr. Chale na Mr. Muganda (sijui cheo chake).

Katika Mkutano huo, Malecela anaomba msaada wa chakula, jenereta, ujenzi wa hospitali na mbolea kusaidia vijiji vya ujamaa.

Pia, anaomba kama Marekani itaweza kutujengea kiwanda cha juisi kama alichokisoma katika gazeti alipokuwa Jamaica kilichojengwa huko Marekani.

Easum alimuahidi atafuatilia maombi ya serikali ya Tanzania katika yote hayo.

Kabla ya mkutano kwisha, Malecela alisema anataka kuona viongozi wa siasa wa Marekani kuja Tanzania na kujionea kwa macho yao jinsi Tanzania ilivyo masikini na inavyokabiliwa na njaa.

Easum alimuahidi kwamba watajaribu kufanya safari kama hizo.

BALOZI EASUM AWASILI TANZANIA

Kwa kifupi, Easum kakutana na Waziri wa Fedha Mr. Msuya, akamwambia kuwa Watanzania watakabiliwa na uhaba wa chakula sehemu nyingi za nchi hata mvua ikinyesha.

Katika mikutano yake yote na Mawaziri tofauti, Easum kapokelewa kwa heshima sana.

Msuya akataarifiwa kuwa Marekani itatoa msaada wa mbegu za mahindi walionunua kutoka Zambia.

Easum pia, alimkumbusha Msuya kuhusu malipo ya shamba la Mmarekani lililotaifishwa huko Kilimanjaro. Mwenyewe anasubiri kulipwa. Msuya kamuahidi kulifuatilia.

Mr. Lusinde, Waziri wa mawasiliano na kazi, katika mkutano wake, aliishukuru serikali ya Marekani kwa kutoa mkopo wa ujenzi wa barabara ya Tanzania-Zambia highway na kusema kuwa wameomba pia mkopo IMF ili waweze kuitunza vizuri kwa pesa hizo.

Katika mkutano na vice counsellor wa UDSM, Mr. Pius Msekwa, Eusum alimuuliza kwa nini amekataza series za "America" za Alistair Cooke kuonyeshwa. Msekwa akamwambia kuwa alibanwa na TYL branch leaders wa UDSM kufanya hivyo.

Nyerere aomba msaada wa chakula kwa Balozi wa Marekani.

Kuna ukame Tanzania na wananchi wanahitaji chakula haraka sana.

Nyerere ameomba tani laki moja ya ngano ije kabla ya mwezi wa Sita 1975, ili kuepuka njaa.

Principal Secretary Nyakyi akamchukua Balozi na kwenda kumwona Nyerere nyumbani kwake, Msasani saa 12.45 jioni.

Balozi kajibu kuwa Marekani iko tayari kutoa tani 20,000 tu na watatoa msaada pia wa milioni moja dola wa mbegu za mahindi watakazonunua kutoka Kenya na Malawi.

Kwa kuwa Nyerere alikuwa na hofu kubwa juu ya ukame na ameomba zaidi na haraka kuliko Marekani ilivyo tayari kutoa msaada, Balozi ameiomba wizara yake Marekani imfikirie zaidi tatizo la wananchi wake na imjulishe haraka ili amjulishe Nyerere matokeo ya ombi lake la kuzidishiwa msaada haraka iwezekanavyo.

[Wacha1]

Mbona mwaka 1975 records zinaonyesha Tanzania hakukua na njaa?

 

[mikatabafeki]

hebu ngoja waje wajuzi hapa....

 

[Tokyo40]

Mbona mwaka 1975 records zinaonyesha Tanzania hakukua na njaa?

I know. That's the interesting part. Cable mbili na viongozi watatu (Msuya, Malecela na Nyerere) wanaongelea njaa. Na cable ya Nyerere anaonekana na hofu sana.

Labda:

1. Ni trick ya kupata msaada haraka?
2. American propaganda kuponda ujamaa?
3. Kuna njaa katika sehemu fulani tu ya nchi?

 

[Mahesabu]

1974 kulikuwa na njaa, may be athari za njaa bado zilikuwa mpaka mwanzoni mwa 1975

 

[BAFA]

Nchii hii sera ya ujamaa mwlm ikimshinda kumbe ae alikiwa anaomba msaada duuh

 

[FaizaFoxy]

Awamu hiyo ndiyo ulipoanzia umatonya.

 

[Sooth]

Mwaka 1974 kulikuwa na ukame mkali sana. Hivyo sishangai kama mwaka 1975 kulikuwa na njaa-maana mwaka 1974 wakulima hawakupata mavuno mazuri. Kinachonishangaza ni kauli za kinyonge za viongozi wetu-kumbe umatonya umeanza muda mrefu sana. Hii mentality lazima ife, haiwezekana kila rais tunayekuwa nae anaendeleza strategy ya unyonge na kuomba 50yrs down the road.

Kuomba ni aibu. Anayemlipa mpiga zumari, ndiye anayechagua wimbo. Ajabu viongozi wetu wanajifanya wanang'aka wanapopangiwa masharti na wazungu wakati kila leo wanapiga mizinga hata kwa vitu tunavyoweza kujitosheleza. Nakumbuka mwezi mmoja umepita pale JK alivyojifanya mkali dhidi ya wahisani kwa kusema hii nchi ina heshima yake, haiwezi kupelekeshwa na wahisani. Ajabu ndiye rais anayeongoza Afrika kwa kushinda nje ya nchi yake kuomba vibaba.

Huko nyuma kuna wachangiaji wengi waliandika Nyerere sijui hatii amri ya mabepari au IMF. Hapo tunaona Balozi wa Marekani yupo Msasani tena baada ya masaa ya kazi, anaombwa msaada wa chakula.

Pia, barabara zinatengenezwa na msaada wa Marekani.

Hata pesa ya maintenance ya barabara hatuna, tunakopa IMF.

Kuna vitu vingi vya aibu hama hivi tulifichwa miaka ya Nyerere, ila leo, kidogo uhuru upo wa kutoa maoni au kupinga usichokipenda katika uongozi au tabia ya viongozi wetu.

Na mitandao inasaidia sana kuupeleka ujumbe wa mpiga kura kwa viongozi wetu. Wanajua tupo macho siku hizi.

Nakubaliana na wewe, kuomba misaada ni aibu, hasa vitu vya thamani ndogo, kama gari la mgonjwa (huku mwombaji anatembelea la kifahari).

 

[nyantella]

Mbona mwaka 1975 records zinaonyesha Tanzania hakukua na njaa?

labda ulikuwa hujazaliwa! kulikuwa njaa kali foleni za "unga wa yanga" unapanga mawe!! angalia vizuri hizo records zako!

 

[Tokyo40]

Cable hii inaonyesha vyama vya upinzani vya Jamaica havijapendezwa na mualiko wa Waziri Mkuu wa Jamaica wa Nyerere kuhutubia katika mkutano wa chama kinachotawala cha PNP cha Mr. Manley.

Vyama vya upinzani vimesema kuwa Nyerere atakuwa anaingilia siasa za Jamaica akihutubia chama tawala kwa kuwa yeye ni Kiongozi wa nchi nyingine na itasaidia kuifanya chama tawala kuonekana bora zaidi wakati wa uchaguzi.

Vyama vya upinzani vyote vimekataa kuhudhuria mikutano hiyo hata baada ya kukaa na Manley kujaribu kupata zuluhisho na hata baada ya kuifanya ziara ya Nyerere kutoka "state visit- ziara ya kiserikali" na kuwa " official visit - ziara rasmi.

Waziri wa zamani, Mr. Bustamante piya alikataa kuonana na Nyerere.

Baraza la Makanisa la Jamaica limeiomba serikali kutoa mwaliko Nyerere ili asihutubie Congress ya PNP na vyama vya upinzani visigome kuhudhuria ili Nyerere asiaibike kama mgeni wa Jamaica.

Viongozi wa upinzani wingine wametangaza kuondoka nchini kwa kikazi wakati wa ziara ya Nyerere ili wasionane nae inasemekana. Pia, vyama vya upinzani havina nguvu na kuogopa ziara hii itawakosesha kura zaidi.

Serikali ya Marekani inaamini kuwa Manley hana nia ya kuifanya Jamaica kuwa na chama kimoja cha utawala kitu ambacho vyama vya upinzani vinadai ndiyo ni nia yake kubwa huko mbele.

Manley anafikiri kuwa vyama vya upinzani wanamwamini kisirisiri kuwa hana nia ya kuifanya Jamaica kuwa na nchi ya chama kimoja cha siasa.

Cable hii inaonyesha Ubalozi wa Marekani kuongelea hotuba ya Nyerere redioni iliyozungumzia kwa kirefu ukosaji wa vyakula unayoikabili Tanzania hasa ngano, mchele na unga wa mahindi.

Ametowa sababu ya uhaba kama uzambazaji mmbovu wa vyakula ndani ya nchi na kutonyeesha kwa mvua ya kutosha katika badhi ya sehemu ya nchi.

Ameelezea kuwa serikali inayakabili uhaba huo kwa kuagiza chakula nchi za nje.

Unga wa mahindi:

Tani elfu 10 imeagizwa kutoka Malawi.

Tani 2500 kutoka Kenya (haijaweza kunununua tani 25,000 kama ilivyopanga)

Anaangalia uwezekano wa kuagiza tani elfu 30 kutoka Zambia.

"Tani elfu 30 kutoka Marekani" ipo njiani mwezi ujao au wanne.
(Hapa Ubalozi inatilia mashaka, pengine "tani" hizo ni tofauti na maelewano ya serikali ya Marekani).

Mchele:

Tani 10,000 kutoka China.
Tani 2500 inawasili mwezi wa tatu, katikati.

Unga wa ngano:

Tani elfu 10,000 umeagizwa Uholanzi na utawasili mwezi wa tatu.

Tani elfu 30,000 umeagizwa kutoka Australia. Pia utawasili muda huo.

Uhaba wa unga wa ngano ndiyo mkubwa zaidi, na hali si nzuri.

Viongozi wa juu wa National Milling Corporation watabadilishwa na kuletwa viongozi wenye sifa nzuri kama Mr. H.R. Shekilango na Mr. Edward Barongo.

Ubalozi unafikiri kuwa Nyerere yupo sahihi sana kwa kusisitiza kukabiliana na shida hii ya uhaba wa chakula madukani, nchini kote, na hasa Dar.

Kuna foleni kubwa ya watu wakisuburi hivi vyakula madukani na mara nyingi polisi hulazamika kutumiwa kukabili fujo na kulinda amani.

Ubalozi unafikiri kuwa uhaba wa vyakula hivi ni mkubwa kutokana na wananchi kukataa kula mihogo au kutumia unga wake badili ya ngano.

NYERERE MAKES NATIONWIDE ADDRESS ON FOOD SHORTAGES
Date:1974 February 9, 09:20

PRESIDENT NYERERE ANNOUNCED FEBRUARY 7 THAT HE WOULD MAKE NATIONWIDE RADIO ADDRESS FOLLOWING DAY. SUBJECT MATTER WAS NOT
ANNOUNCED. SUCH SPEECHES DO NOT FIT NYERERE'S NORMAL NODUS OPERANDI.

HOUR-LONG SPEECH, WHICH WAS GIVEN BEFORE NUMEROUS SENIOR TANZANIAN OFFICIALS IN ADDITION TO WORKING-LEVEL TANU PERSONNEL, DEALT SOLELY WITH FOOD SHORTAGES IN TANZANIA AND PARTICULARLY IN
DAR ES SALAAM.

NYERERE GAVE DETAILED EXPLANATION FOR SHORTAGES OF
THREE KEY FOOD PRODUCTS--MAIZE, RICE, AND WHEAT/FLOUR.

HE SAID MAJOR REASONS FOR SHORTAGES ARE POOR INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION AND INSUFFICIENT RAIN IN NORTHERN PART OF TANZANIA.

NYERERE SAID TANGOV IS MAKING MAJOR EFFORT TO RECTIFY SITUATION, PRIMARILY BY IMPORTING CROPS AS FOLLOWS:

MAIZE--10,000 TONS FROM MALAWI

2,500 TONS FROM KENYA (TANZNAIA HAD EARLIER HOPED TO PURCHASE 25,000 TONS FROM KENYA)

EXPLORING POSSIBILITY
OF 30,000 TONS FROM ZAMBIA

QUOTE 30,000 TONS ARE EXPECTED FROM
US BY NEXT MONTH OR APRIL UNQUOTE

RICE--10,000 TONS HAVE BEEN ORDERED FROM PRC AND
FIRST CONSIGNMENT OF 2,500 TONS IS EXPECTED IN MID-MARCH.

WHEAT--(NYERERE SAID SITUATION HERE IS CRITICAL) 10,000 TONS
OF WHEAT FOUR HAVE BEEN ORDERED FROM HOLLAND WITH FIRST CONSIGNMENT EXPECTED MARCH 7;

FIRST CONSIGNMENT OF 30,000 TONS GRAIN WHEAT FROM AUSTRALIA IS EXPECTED BY MID-MARCH.

NYERERE ANNOUNCED EARLIER IN DAY SHAKEUP AT NATIONAL MILLING CORPORATION (NMC), WHICH AMONG OTHER FUNCTIONS HANDLES MILLING OF
WHEAT FLOUR.

TWO HIGHLY REGARDED CIVIL SERVANTS--H.R. SHEKILANGO,
FORMER REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR IN IRINGA, AND EDWARD BARONGO,
FORMER EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OF TANZANIA PETROLEUM BOARD--WERE PLACED
IN TOP POSITIONS AT NMC.

COMMENT: EMPHASIS GIVEN BY NYERERE TO FOOD SHORTAGE SITUATION ACCURATELY REFLECTS SERIOUSNESS OF PROBLEM IN CERTAIN PARTS OF
TANZANIA, PARTICULARLY DAR ES SALAAM.

LONG LINES EXIST FOR ABOVE
STAPLES AND SOME OTHER ITEMS IN DAR ES SALAAM.

IT IS SOMETIMES NECESSARY TO STATION POLICEMEN AT RETAIL OUTLETS TO MAINTAIN ORDER.

PART OF PROBLEM, HOWEVER, IS RELUCTANCE BY PEOPLE TO
SWITCH TO OTHER AVAILABLE FOODS SUCH AS CASSAVA.

Cable hii inazungumzia ziara ya Waziri J. P. Pronk wa Uholanzi, nchini Tanzania mwezi wa tatu, 1974.

Pronk ni Waziri wa Maendeleo na Ushirikiano. Ziara ilikuwa ya siku 5.

Pronk amesema Uholanzi itatenga 1.2% la pato la taifa (GNP) kwa ajili ya kutoa misaada ifikapo 1976.
Sasa hivi inatoa 0.7% ya pato la taifa kama msaada kwa nchi masikini.

Uholanzi itaipa dola milioni 4-5 makundi ya ukombozi ya Afrika mwaka 1974. Makundi haya mengi ni yale yanayopigania uhuru kutoka Ureno.

Uholanzi inataka Ureno kuacha kutawala na kutoka Afrika.

Pronk alifanya mazungumzo na Nyerere, Kawawa, Jamal, Msuya na Malecela.

Maongezi na serikali ya Tanzania yalihusu hasa namna Uholanzi itakakavyosaidia nchi masikini na kusaidia makundi yanayopigania uhuru dhidi ya Ureno.

Uholanzi inaipa Tanzania msaada wa dola milioni 6-7 kila mwaka na inategemea kupanda zaidi miaka ya mbele.

Pronk pia alifanya mazungumzo na makundi yanayopigania uhuru Afrika kama Frelimo (Msumbiji), MPLA (Angola) na Kamati la Ukombozi la Afrika (ALC).

Mwaka 1973, Uhohanzi ilitoa msaada wa $200,000 tu kwa shughuli za ukombozi wa nchi za Kiafrika, na pesa yote walipewa Taasisi ya Elimu iliyo chini ya Frelimo.

Mwaka 1974, makundi ya ukombozi yametengewa dola milioni 4-5.

Pronk amesema kuwa kiasi cha pesa watakachopewa kila kundi itatangazwa baada ya miezi miwili. Pesa hizi ni msaada wa kibinadamu na kusaidia ujenzi katika ardhi zilizokombolewa na makundi hayo.

Ubalozi haujashangazwa makundi ya ukombozi ya Afrika Kusini kutotajwa kwa kuwa pengine hamna ardhi "iliyokombolewa" huko bado.

Serikali ya Uholanzi haitatoa misaada ya kijeshi.

Pronk amesema kuwa serikali yake inaongea na nchi za Skandinavia zenye fikra moja za kuondoa ukoloni wa Ureno Afrika na kuongea na nchi rafiki wa Ureno, Marekani, kuhusu swala hilo pamoja na nchi nyingine.

Pia, alisema wanalizungumzia swala hili Ulaya. Ufaransa, Ujerumani Magharibi na serikali mpya ya Uiingereza haipendelei tens Ureno kuwa na makoloni Afrika. Uholanzi inafikiri nchi za Ulaya Magharibi zitabadili sera zake na kupinga ukoloni Afrika.

Pronk amesema nchi yake haitaipa ruhusa Ureno kutumia ujuzi kutengeneza ndege za kijeshi za Fokker ambazo Ureno zinazutumia katika vita nchi za Afrika. Na amesikitika hawezi kuzuia ndege za kizamani za nchi yake kutumiwa na Ureno.

Ubalozi unafikiri kuwa Uholanzi wanataka kuwa mstari wa mbele kuongoza nchi za Ulaya Magharibi kuipa presha Ureno ili iondoke katika makoloni yake Afrika.
