On Sunday 13 October, this column was accorded with special regards from Kigali Rwanda . Our reader whose name is read as Job Jabiro,though the name does not sound to have roots in Rwanda , let's leave things as they are. The readership will rightly judge us on merit.
We sincerely commend the writer-cum accuser despite all discrepancies, brouhaha, and rigmarole and "sexed" allegations.
The person in point, shamelessly and dubiously, has registered but fear, naivety, mediocrity and all the like instead of giving reply to our article. Suffering from inssanismadogmata, bulimia and horror, the guy, has but absurdly and wrongly, alleged what he cannot prove. How can ones say that Tanzanians are afraid of competition from such tiny and sick countries! Stop such phantasmagolic assertions.
It is but an open secret that a certain cross section of our people is openly and vehemently objecting the invitation extended to Burundi and Rwanda to join the said organization.
This is clearly and nicely sighted in the article titled "Ngara people's stance on the federation", if in case, reference sounds wisely to those uncomfortable with our stance. Being their constitutional right to air their views, the said people openly and reasonably opposed the said countries to be allowed into the Federation.
We can add to their voices that it is immature and premature to allow Burundi and Rwanda to EAC. Given that those said countries have their internal problems to attend to, every reasonable person would advise them to put their house in order first before aiming at another complicated encounter. Who wants to open Pandora's box by allowing Attila to cross "The Danube?
Being the media that is read almost everywhere in the area,
www.habaritanzania.com tried to chime in so as to revamp this impasse nonetheless we've ended up being accused of meddling and scuttling the whole process! What a farce! Anyway we will never apply the same rotten and sick mentality to go about this constitutional right. Instead of wasting our time subscribing to such cheap lie blaagh blaagh and daydreams, we will stand firmly to educate our poor friends wherever they might be. We will never seek any permission from anybody or whatever power that be.
The said accusations-cum fabrications were aired via "New Times Newspaper"that is based in Kigali Rwanda on 13th October this Fall. Thanks to the copy of the same that Habaritanzania received on the same date, Otherwise, we would have been in the dark as far as the whole fracas-cum debacle is concerned.
The aforementioned gentleman felt grievously offended when this website suggested that Burundi and Rwanda have to be probed before being given green lights to the Federation pursuant to what the citizens of Ngara suggested as far as the Federation is concerned to them.
We will never explore the whole hotch -potch in verbatim but at least we shall try to shed l light onto the same in order to educate the guy on top of aiming at the whole community and readership.
Let's re-commend the guy for reading our website and sending his observation to us despite all misunderstandings, misguided missiles and confusion altogether.
Firstly and foremost, we strongly rebuff all misquoted and misinterpretations by him whether committed purposely or otherwise. We shall restrain ourselves from ranting at him given that we know the malady he suffers from.
He and the like sickened as they are, bear with us, they are but the product of our brother.
To soften his poisonous and venomous assertion, the boy gerrymandered his bagatelle by seeking his camouflage behind the late, Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere whom he anglicized as if he were serious in the matter! What transmogrification by a charlatan!
The guy thought we are as good at forgetting as him as far as Nyerere is concerned! What hypocrisy!
Does this self seeker think that we have forgotten how shamelessly the same people he is advocating for, used to abusively refer to Mwalimu as "Inganga buriri", literally bed wetter! What a self-fooling charade and lie altogether!
If the guy has easily forgotten this disgrace, it is upon him to curse himself. For us the abuses are as fresh just like yesterday. For a reminder, we refer the guy to the time when the late Mwalimu was relentlessly sacrificing for the peace of Burundi . They shamelessly and openly called him a bed wetter! Miraculously the same "bed wetter" is becoming an angel! Shame upon this hypocrite!Hell no. Such peson needs to be helped.
Another sacrilege if we may say so, is the fact that the guy is shamelessly alleging that he will soon see no difference between the then Zaire (DRC), under the archetypal dictator, Joseph Desire Mobutu and Tanzania today! Common and simple wisdom force us to ask if at all this guy is normal? How can you compare lice's egg with that of the ostrich!
Can you compare a dictator like Paul Kagame with who you are in bed over a powder keg, with Jakaya Kikwete, a democratically elected luminary! Shame on you wherever you are.
Kikwete, (The President of Tanzania does not own anything even anyone just like Kagame and Museveni own their people as if they are private estate), is a leader not a demi-god just like the aforementioned duo. We are remorseful to our readership to quote Swahili saying whose translation sounds as the ape is unable to see its buttocks.
Let us tell everybody the truth we have and know as far the real situation is concerned:
Firstly, Tanzania has never been under any dictator be him/her imaginative or real. Tanzania is among ideal democracies the world over. We hope even Rwandans are aware of this shall they stop abusing their own intellectuality.
If they have, accidentally or deliberately, forgotten what goes on in Rwanda , we refer them to the whole stupidity and bulimia under which the then puppet President, Pasteur Bizimungu, found himself in hot soup. Where is Bizimungu by the way? Isn't he in the goal just because he tried to employ and enjoy his constitutional rights by forming a political Party? Do we need to stop in the agora to tell the world that Rwanda is yearning for democracy take over from thugocracy and demon-crazy she is in?
It is pity that the same gentlepeople has forgotten the contribution Tanzania did wholeheatedly offer in enabling them to live like human beings! Though the guy has admitted this, he has dogged it and contradicted himself by asserting that Tanzania has been expelling Rwandans who live behind their properties as if they came with any when they sought refuge in Tanzania ! He does not tell when, why, who and where and what not! Here the question is, how can Tanzania get away with this amidst International Instruments? What fallacy!
Moreover the Kigali boy has failed to appreciate the fact that the said Federation used to exist long time even before he was born. Why giving us lectures now while when we found the said Federation the said countries were hell bent in tribal killings. We are confident to declare that the whole world knows what befell our Federation. It is an open secret that leaders of Kenya and Uganda , as then was the case, sabotaged the said Federation.
The bud is talking of Nyerere's country as if Nyerere once owned Tanzania the way his home made dictator, Kagame owns him and Rwanda ! Gone are the days. To try the same nonsense of crying for spilled milk, one would say, Had Habyarimana and Ndadaye been alive, surely nobody would doubt the whole issue of inviting Rwanda and Burundi respectively.
When milk is spilled there is no wastage of time to cry for it. We are not such loons and goons to weep for the spilled milk like our friend. We instead have to forge ahead.
Let us put more emphasis that we strongly dispute Burundi and Rwanda to be part of East African Federation until when they put their house in order. We are accused of being afraid of competition. How if we have boldly preferred Mozambique and Zambia to Burundi and Rwanda ?
For those interested in comprehending our take on this, we refer them to another article by this column in which we clearly and fearlessly reprimanded our leaders for any shortcomings. We are proudly doing so because we know it is our right-cum duty. They understand what and we too do. A dictator does not rule us like our friend from Kigali . We are but a democratic country.
Our brother from Rwanda has also accused us of humiliating Zanzibar . First of all we wonder. When did he become the spokesperson of the Government of Zanzibar? Doesn't he know that the said Government after pondering on the truth we cited underscored what we said? It is an open secret that Zanzibar is always aware of the truth we cited. That's why Zanzibar did never bother to look at the sun so as to obtain a stain on it.
He blatantly jumped onto Kenya in that Tanzanian authorities are sabotaging Kenyan goods from entering the country, what buffoonery! We will never delve into this. Instead we shall wait for Kenya to bring their concern shall these far-fetched allegations be true.
Another point is the fact that our boy from Kigali contradicted his allegations by citing
Singapore, Japan , Thailand and Switzerland as far as development is concerned! Nonetheless, he has forgotten that despite all praises and songs about the said countries, they still wish they would have abundant land.
Had they had big portions of land, even the level of development we are talking of would be higher than what we are singing praises to. After all it is illogical to compare a rabbit with an elephant shall our schizophrenic boy from Kigali reason. Moreover the said Asian countries in point, have never known dictatorship and genocide if we honestly dispute that Thailand has never been among the Asian tigers.
