Kenyans At Busia Border Block Roads To Push For Release Of Ugandan Politician Boby Wine

[LightYagami]

Kenyans at the Busia border have blocked roads over Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine troubles in Uganda. According to reports, the residents took to the streets and blocked all trucks heading to Uganda.
Wine is currently facing treason charges before a military tribunal over the possession of weapons, local media reported last week. He is standing trial before a military tribunal.
On Thursday, two lawyers who attended a military court session where Wine was brought in to be charged said he was unable to talk or walk, bore visible injuries and was not aware of his surroundings.

Security agents barred other people, including Wines’s wife and relatives, from attending the hearing.

There had been reports that Wine is in a critical condition after torture by army officers. However, President Yoweri Museveni issued a statement yesterday saying that Wine is well, despite having been hidden from the public eye for more than a week.

“I decided to check with Army doctors because, being a disciplined Army, UPDF doctors always take precautions in such situations. Bobi Wine had already been seen by doctors in Arua, Gulu and Kampala. He has no head or chest injuries or bone fractures, they informed me,” the president wrote.

Pressure has been mounting on the Ugandan government to release Boby Wine after the Great Britain issued a travel advisory to its citizens against Uganda.

Wine was first elected to parliament last year. He has since amassed a large following among youth electrified by his scathing criticism of Museveni sometimes delivered in his songs.

I am happy with what our countrymen at the border are doing. Guess we are very experienced when it comes to riots and dealing with dictators. Glad we are helping our brothers on the other side of the border.

Let them use safer central corridor. It's stupidity of highest order for a democratic flawed and tribal nation like Kenya to try to be a prefect to Uganda internal affairs. Uganda should really try to assess where the SGR should pass as frequently interruptions are just a reminder of 2007 PEV. Insecurity is real in Kenya from the Alshaababs to mad citizens, the other week they bunkered a brand new oil pipeline at Kibo.

Sio kwa wanafiki Hawa! wiki iliyopita wamefanya fujo Namanga wakasingizia Wakenya wameuwawa mpaka media Yao the Citizen ikaripoti uongo. Wameharibu Mali za Wafanyabiashara wa Kitanzania.

Angalia ripoti ya waziri wao inavyowaumbua. Sasa wanaogopa retaliation cha ajabu huyu Waziri alikuwa wapi fujo zilipokuwa zinaendelea kwa siku tatu mfululizo. Sio watu hawa kabisa hapo wanamchukia Museveni na kutaka kusababisha chaos kwa vile anawa-sideline.

Tanzanian police-Kenyan traders spat was blown out of proportion

MONDAY AUGUST 20 2018







In Summary

Cross-border conflicts, especially in relation to trade, are inevitable in such a thriving business venue.

The major issue is how they are resolved and to what extent our people allow them to taint an otherwise peaceful co-existence with their neighbours.

Media reports about an alleged conflict between some Kenyan traders and Tanzanian security officers at the Namanga border post were inaccurately portrayed as a conflict between Kenya and the United Republic of Tanzania.

I feel it obligatory to make a few clarifications for accuracy.

Cross-border conflicts, especially in relation to trade, are inevitable in such a thriving business venue. The major issue is how they are resolved and to what extent our people allow them to taint an otherwise peaceful co-existence with their neighbours.

MISUNDERSTANDING

The alleged conflict was, actually, a small misunderstanding that was amplified through what was obviously sensational reporting.

A team of Tanzanian police officers, in the course of duty, had stopped three Kenyan milk sellers on the Tanzania side to authenticate their documents. They then entered the traders’ car, which was driven to the middle section of the border, known as the ‘No Man’s Land’.

They were conversing inside the car when a breakdown in communication made some Kenyans to believe that the trio had been hijacked or arrested.

The ensuing scuffle attracted the attention of Kenyan police officers, who intervened to calm tempers and handed over the traders, then deemed suspects, to the Tanzanian authorities for the due process of questioning.

NEGATIVE PICTURE

The issue was soon sorted out and the three were on August 9 set free after the authorities in Longido saw no need of preferring charges against them.

The incident did not interfere with business operations in Namanga or affect cross-border movement between Tanzania and Kenya, contrary to subsequent reports of chaos and riots.

The pockets of protests in Namanga and Ilbisil on the Kenyan side were a result of further breakdown in communication with the residents thinking that the traders were in custody in Tanzania.

Contrary to the negative picture painted around the incident, the relationship between Kenya and Tanzania and the working interaction between the law enforcers of the two East African Community partner states along the border, are cordial and warm.

PEOPLE-CENTRED

As we deepen regional integration for the prosperity of Kenyans and other East Africans, we need to remind ourselves that the EAC Treaty designed the integration to be people-centred and private sector-driven.

The import of this is that the citizenry must play a role, either individually or collectively, to help the integration agenda to grow while the private sector, media included, are duty-bound to lead in supporting, and even driving it, to its prosperous destination.

Ni common sense tu budaboss. Wewe jifanye huoni uhusiano, the government your fellow kenyans are against has massive support in Ug, bobi ni mbaganda, they have their king, who supports museveni, no way bobi ambaye hana uhusiano na baganda kingdom akawa raisi. Sasa wewe great thinker huoni kabisa kwamba vigogo wa serikali ya Ug watashuku kuna mkono wa serikali ya kenya kutaka M7 atoke, and where will that put your two huge projects that you wish Ug to make it happen. At big risk, ukichangia na past history ya kung'oa mataruma ya reli yao inopita kwenyu. Nasikia leo mnaandamana hadi kwa balozi ya Ug hapo nairobi. Big mistake.
Saying this, am not supporting ukandamizaji wa m7. But you got to be careful when it comes to interests, unless mmeshaona hizo deals hamtazipata, sasa mnataka kuleta machafuko ili utawala ubadilike, muanze ushawishi kwa your new proxy government, unfortunately sioni Tz ikiacha hiyo kitu itokee. Kikwete alikuwa na beef kubwa sana na Kagame, magu kaja kaneutralize, tumewavutia suala la sgr wamelikubali, itakuja gas.
Business inaendelea, sasa nyie ingilieni masuala ya siasa ya nchi za watu wakati siasa zenu wenyewe zimewashindwa.

We waache naomba waendelee na upuuzi huu! Wa-block njia hata kwa miezi halafu tuone who will be the loser as a result of enraging Museveni. Migingo imewashinda sasa wanafikiri wanaweza kumuondoa Mseveni with Chinese n France interests at stake. While the EAC guardian is looking quiet.

Wakati Idd Amin alipokua anawachinja waganda mlikua wapi, Kenya mlimsaidia kupitisha silaha katika bandari ya Mombasa kwa kipindi chote cha utawala wake, hata kipindi cha vita ya Tanzania na Uganda bado silaha za Idd Amin ziliendelea kupitishwa Kenya.

Wakati waafrika wanauliwa na kunyanyaswa na wazungu kusini mwa Africa Kenya mlikua mnawasaidia wazungu kuendeleza unyama wao dhidi ya watu weusi. Iweje leo mnajidai mpo mstari wa mbele kukemea Mseven kumtesa mwafrika mwenzake?

By the way vipi Msonde hadi leo waliohusika na kifo chake wameshakamatwa?, vipi kuhusu watu Waliouliwa katika PEV 2007 wahusika walishawajibishwa?. Vipi kuhusu watu zaidi ya 67 waliouliwa katika uchaguzi uliopita, kuna wahusika wowote waliowajibishwa?. Punguzeni insulin.

Ndio maana mnaitwa N.Korea. Mnadhani raia wa Kenya wana unyumbu wa kuendeshwa ovyo ovyo na utawala kama nyie. Wakenya wakiandamana kupinga haya ya Bobi Wine wanafanya hivyo kwa hiari yao na hakuna yeyote yule atakaye wazuia. Civil society na mashirika ya kutetea haki za kibinadam yapo kwa wingi Kenya. Nyinyi endeleeni kukata mauno kwa mziki unaotoka ikulu. Aisee hatufanani hata kidogo!

Mfumo wa elimu wa Tz ni majanga tupu. Sio kwa umbumbumbu wa aina hii! Inatia huruma sana. Leo hii wakenya wakitaka kuandamana kupinga maafa yanayoendelea Libya au hata Palestine wataandamana tu. Yale maisha ya zamani ya kufatilia yanayoendelea hapo kijijini chenu pekee yake yalipitwa na wakati. Jirani zetu mna ushamba mwingi sana.

Jibu hoja zangu nilizokuuliza hapo juu
1)Hamkuwasaidia waganda kipindi change Idd Amin badala yake mlimsaidia Amin kupitisha silaha
2)Hamkuwasaidia waafrika waliakuwa wakiuliwa na wazungu kisini mwa Africa badala yake mlishirikiana na wazungu
3)Hamuwezi hata kuzuia mauji yanayofanywa na polisi wenu katika kipindi cha uchaguzi hapo kwenu, au maisha ya waganda yana thamani kuliko ya wakenya?

Jibu swali acha kujinyea.
