Historia isingekuwa vingine vyovyote kwani historia haibadiliki; even God can not change history so they say. Ingebakia vile vile na imebakia vile vile ilivyotokea. Kuandika kwako kitabu hakujabadilisha historia. Nyerere bado anabakiwa kuwa Rais wa kwanza, Nyerere bado anakuwa kiongozi mkuu wa harakati za Uhuru, Nyerere bado anabakia kuwa Baba wa Taifa. Sykes na wengine wanabakia kuwa katika nafasi zao. Nothing has changed.[/QUOTE
MM,
Kuwa Nyerere ni kiongozi mkuu wa harakati za kudai uhuru hakuna anaeweza kupinga hiyo ni haki yake kabisa. Inawezekana hujui lakini soma hapa chini Nyerere leo anaitwaje na Waislam:
"...but what usually thrills Muslims and utterly significantshowing that times have changed is when in the rallies and in normal discussionMuslims refer to Nyerere hitherto known respectfully as "Baba wa Taifa" as"Baba wa Kanisa," meaning "Church Elder."[1] The moveby the Catholic Church to make him a saint has not helped matters..."
Maneno haya yaliwafadhaisha sana wasikilizaji wa muhadhara wangu Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO), Berlin kiasi waliniuliza pembeni, "Are things this bad?"
Sasa Mwanakijiji ikiwa utapenda kuisikiliza akili yako mwenyewe utabaki na fikra hizo hizo ulokuwanazo lakini ukweli ndiyo huo kitabu nishaandika kinasomwa ndani na nje na Nyerere hajabaki kama alivyokuwa na kuzoeleka. Kitabu cha Kiswahili kinakwenda sasa toleo la tatu na ni maarufu sana.
[1]The late Prof. Haroub Othman after reading Sheikh Ali Muhsin's book Conflict and Harmony in Zanzibar and thewriter's book The Life and Times of Abdulwahid Sykes 1924 -1968 The Untold Story of the Muslim Struggle Against British Colonialismin Tanganyika, Minerva Press, London 1998 andhaving come across hitherto unknown information on Nyerere was devastatedbecause he was a great admirer of Nyerere as a patriot and a nationalist. Thetwo books had painted him differently. Prof. Haroub confronted Nyerere and toldhim that the allegations in those two works have tarnished his image and headvised him to respond to them. Nyerere never did. Christian lecturers at Dares Salaam University are discouraging students from making references to thosetwo books. Dr. Harith Ghassany's book KwaheriUkoloni Kwaheri Uhuru, has also come up with more information on Nyererehitherto unknown in the Zanzibar Revolution and the bloodbath which followed.
Kwa hakika "The Life and Times of Abdulwahid Sykes (1824 1968 the Untold Story of the Muslim Struggle Against British Colonialism in Tanganyika," Minerva Press London 1998 si historia yote ya uhuru wa Tanganyika.
Mlango uko wazi kwa watu kama wewe kuandika historia nyingine ili tukamilishe historia ya nchi yetu.
Umuhimu wa historia hii kwanza ni kusahihisha ile historia rasmi iliyozoeleka kwa miaka nenda miaka rudi.
Hili la kwanza.
Kitu cha pili muhimu ni kuwa ukimleta Abdu Sykes katika historia ile rasmi sasa inabidi urudi nyuma robo karne uanze na historia ya baba yake, Kleist Sykes.
Hapa Nyerere ushamweka pembeni.
Atakuja katika historia lakini kwa sura nyingine siyo ile ya "superman" iliyozoeleka.
Kitu cha tatu ni mchango wa Uislam na Waislam katika maendeleo ya siasa Tanganyika.
Kwa mtu ambae alianza kusoma historia rasmi sasa akijakutana na hii historia niliyoandika mimi kwa hakika unakuwa umemchukua katika dunia ambayo hakuwa anajua ilikuwapo.
Mshtuko wake ni mkubwa kama unavyouona ulivyowapiga wengi humu JF.
Na hiki ndicho kilichokumba vyuo vingi na wasomi wengi wa African History Marekani na Ulaya kiasi cha kupata hamu ya kuniona kwa macho yao wenyewe.
