Inside story of why President Kikwete deployed Tanzanian troops in DRC

———

At an urgent summit of the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) in Kampala in late September 2012, Tanzania's President Jakaya Kikwete spoke passionately of how Tanzania was eager to end the conflict in DR Congo. President Kikwete informed other leaders that Tanzania was ready to use force. Months later, Tanzanian troops were deployed, but as News of Rwanda reports, the deployment is a personal project of President Kikwete after ignoring advice of the Tanzania Intelligence and Security Service (TISS).

Since the ICGLR authorized the deployment of 3,069 troops, including 1,283 Tanzanian Special Forces, the events moved so fast. In April, Tanzanian Brigadier General James Aloizi Mwakibolwa was named the commander of the so called Neutral Intervention Force (NIF). On 10[SUP]th[/SUP] May 2013, the first batch of 100 elite forces arrived in Goma. Even as the world was celebrating the developments on the ground in eastern DRC, back in Tanzania however, tempers were at exploding point between President Kikwete on one side and the Tanzania Intelligence and Security Service (TISS).

News of Rwanda has established that around July 2013, President Kikwete unilaterally appointed a man we have only managed to identify as Mr Zongo to be the deputy director general of TISS. The shocking appointment was retaliation against the director general of TISS, Mr. Rashid Othman, who had rigidly refused to endorse the deployment of Tanzanian troops in DR Congo. According to sources close to Mr. Othman, he accused President Kikwete of "mishandling the geopolitical situation" in the region at the expense of Tanzania.

The man who the Tanzania state was paying to plan for its security strategy, feared that President Kikwete's "unilateral decision" would come back to haunt Tanzania. As the supreme leader, President Kikwete was not impressed, and moved to curb the powers of the intelligence chief.

Our sources have intimated to News of Rwanda that Mr Zongo is the current defacto boss as TISS and is the one who liaises between the Presidency and TISS. In comes President Kabila's sister The refusal of TISS chief Mr. Rashid Othman did not come from the blue. Information obtained by our investigations team shows that the deployment of Tanzania troops had been a personal pledge by President Kikwete to DRC President Joseph Kabila when he was in Tanzania for the SADC Troika summit on 5[SUP]th[/SUP] September 2012. But how did the Kikwete pledge come? The two presidents have cultivated a very close relationship to the point that the two families are business partners. Tanzania's First Lady fondly known as Mama Salma Kikwete and President Kabila's twin sister Jaynet Kabila have a mineral export business operating from Dar es Salaam's MIKOCHENI suburb.

News of Rwanda investigations have led us to two very luxurious "shops" in Dar es Salaam. One of them is named RENZO located within the upper class MIKOCHENI Shopping Mall opposite SAVERIOS Pizza. The other "shop" is VIRAGO, positioned opposite Baraka Plaza. Both these shops are located in the MIKOCHENI suburb of Dar es Salaam where Tanzania's rich and good brash shoulders. According to sources on the ground, these two Kikwete-Kabila shops sell the most luxurious clothing and jewelry in Tanzania.

However, despite the size and expensive line of business, the "shops" are not registered with the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA). The two names are not found anywhere in the tax receipts of the TRA, which according to well-informed sources, means they do not pay taxes. However, nobody including the TRA commissioner general Harry Kitilya can say anything for fear of retribution. According to people operating businesses within the MIKOCHENI suburb, these particular shops are a no-go zone for ordinary Tanzanians.

Apart from seeing expensive cars packed within the vicinity, the shops are also common with foreigners who do not leave with any materials, and locals suspect strange businesses are taking place inside those buildings. Could it be that the intelligence Chief Mr. Rashid Othman knew from day one that his boss' insistence on sending troops to DRC was not back by any love for Tanzanian interests? Could it be that Mr Zongo was brought to TISS to keep an eye on Othman such that he does not search too far? Only time will tell.

Jaynet Kabila is the twin sister of President Kabila, and a very power force in the DRC parliament. Politicians in DRC see her as the powers-be that choose Congo's fate

Then the FDLR militia emerges First forward, on the morning of 26 May 2013, at a special and tense closed-door Africa Union heads of state summit on DRC, President Kikwete was seated across from Rwandan counter President Paul Kagame. The Tanzanian leader tells Kagame that he needs to sit at the same table with the democratic forces for the liberation of Rwanda rebels to talk peace. President Kikwete was reading from a prepared speech.

As News of Rwanda has reported ever since, Tanzania-Rwanda relations have since gone down the drain. Privately, President Kikwete's closest advisors have confessed to friends that the FDLR issue as advanced by their boss to other African leaders was never discussed. The original speech prepared by the Presidency did not include a reference to peace talks for ending the FDLR problem in eastern Congo.

Publicly, many Tanzanian senior officials have kept quiet leaving only two people to deal with the expected consequences of Tanzania siding with the perpetrators of the genocide. President Kikwete and his foreign affairs minister Bernard Membe have been left to fight alone, reason why they are the only people who speak passionately about the Rwanda-Tanzania showdown. However, it is not accidental. Dorcas Membe, the wife of the foreign affairs minister is a childhood friend of First Lady Mama Salma Kikwete. According to official data, Mama Salma was comes from Lindi, in Southern Tanzania. The First Lady and Dorcas Membe hail from the same village.

On 19th August last year, News of Rwanda reported exclusively Shabyna Stillman, a senior diplomat at the US embassy in Dar es Salaam had sent a secret cable to Washington on Thursday May 5th, 2005 explaining how Mama Salma Kikwete was from the family of ex-Rwanda president Juvenal Habyarimana. Could it be that President Kikwete's sudden move in favour of the FDLR was influenced by the personal friendship with DRC counterpart Joseph Kabila or his wife's ancestry to Rwanda? Only time will tell.

Hta kama kuna ukweli fulani ila hii habari imeandikwa kipropaganda mno na kujaziwa chumvi sana.

 

[rushasha]

[MTAZAMO]

Jesus! What is this?

 

[ifweero]

Watz tuna uwezo wa kumpiga kagame.

Kagame ni shida na ataendelea kuwa shida.Nakumbuka July 4th 2011 akiwa anatokea kukagua mashamba yake lilitokea jaribio la kumpindua,gari lake lilimwagiwa risasi shukrani pekee zimwendee dreva wake.Lakini kilichofuata ni kwamba aliua askari wote karibia 100 aliowahisi na maafisa usalama karibia 20.Kwa hiyo in short Kagame ni mfu anaetembea maana hata Wanyarwanda wenyewe walishamchoka kwa hiyo ili aendelee kuishi ni kutengeneza tension kwamba anataka kuvamiwa ili aendeleee kuishi kwa sympathy za wanyarwanda kama anavoendelea kushi kwenye kivuli cha genocide kila anapoguswa na mataifa ya Magharibi. Hakuna marefu yasiyo na ncha na pia chuma hata kichemke vipi mwisho lazima kitapoa tu.

Kwa hiyo Kagame asifikiri eti kila siku atakuwa wa moto tu HAPANA kwa taarifa yake sasa ni wakati wake wa kuwa baridi na akubaliane na ubaridi huo aache kutapatapa. Unamjua rais alietunguliwa kwenye ndege wa Rwanda ndugu Habyarimana? Nae kuna kipindi alikuwa wa moto kuliko Kagame yaani ni kwamba taarifa ya habari kutoka Radio Rwanda haiwezi kusomwa kama halijatangulia neno la busara la Mheshimiwa Habyarimana lakini mwisho alipoa na mpaka anatunguliwa kwenye ndege alikuwa ametoka kufanya mazungumzo na waasi wa RPF Dar es Salaaam.

Kagame kitakachomponza ni kuwa na kiburi na kichwa ngumu yeye hataki kushauriwa anaona washauri wake eti akina Tonny Blair na Bill Clinton ndiyo washauri wazuri,lakini nachokuambia Mzungu yeyote duniani hafanyi kazi bure na akumbuke America has no permanent friend kwa hiyo walishamtumia kuvamia DRC sasa hana thamani tena.Maskini ya Mungu mwaka jana aliekuwa mkuu wa majeshi ya Rwanda Charles Kayonga alimshauri vizuri Kagame akamuambia kuwa Tanzania inapeleka majeshi DRC kwa hiyo Rwanda itafute namna ya kuwithdraw majeshi yake kwenye kikundi cha waasi cha M23 maana mziki utakuwa mzito.Kilichofuata alimuita eti Charles Kayonga ni mjinga na muoga na mwisho wa siku akamfukuza kutoka jeshini na sasa wanasema huenda jamaa alishauawa maana mara ya kwanza walisema eti amefungiwa kwenye gereza la siri nchini Rwanda lakini kiukweli wanasema kajamaa kameshamdedisha.

So in short msimalize muda wenu kujadili issue za Kagame maana ni mtu wakati wowote ule anaweza akafa either kwa kupigwa risasi ama hata kupinduliwa kwa hiyo anaweweseka tu.Unajua ukishaua sana watu inafika kipindi unakuwa chizi maana damu za watu si bure.Kwa hiyo kuna watu wanatumia uchizi wa Kagame kuchumia matumbo yao kama hawa waandishi wa News of Rwanda ​

 

[ifweero]

Haya maelezo ni uzushi na uhuni mtupu.

 

[ifweero]

Kagame ni wa kupuuzwa tu, anaweweseka kama mtetea anayetaka kutaga. Mwisho wake umekaribia

 

[nyakashenyi]

JK naye anatuangusha,aache kujipendekeza kwa Kagame na magazeti yao uchwara.News of Rwanda ni gazeti la serikali na kila siku wanaandika taarifa hizi za uchonganishi,what the hell Rwandan government haikatazi uchochezi huu na bado JK anamtuma Mwandosya.Akafanye nini??,Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Wala hakuna ukweli wowote kuhusu Othman na Zongo,kuwajua majina sio ishu wala na wanahangaika kuconnect dots za Membe na Kabiila na wake zao,wajinga tu.

 

[Ben T]

Kagame na gazeti lake News of Rwanda wanahangaika sana,wanalalamikia Tanzania kupeleka Majeshi Congo DR, hayo ni makubaliano ya SADC siyo ya Tanzania na Congo na hakuna interest za Kikwete katika kupeleka Majeshi Congo ni upuuzi wa Kagame na wajinga wenzie akina Sultan Makenga mgonjwa wa UKIMWI na wizi wao tu roho zinawauma!

 

[ifweero]

Niko tayari kuwa mstari wa mbele tukampige kagame, tumuadabishe

 

[Obugwa Izoba]

mwendelezo wa propaganda. Hii news of rwanda hovyo sana

 

[ifweero]
