[TD="width: 752, bgcolor: transparent"]Deputy Labour Commissioner M.J. Molohan was a heavily built man who used to ride a bicycle to his office, uncommon in those days for a British colonial officer.

Molohan began to scout for possible candidates for the post of General Secretary of the Dockworkers' Union which was to be formed the following year.

Assisting him in this assignment was Islam Barakat, an Afro-Arab ex-serviceman and the first African Labour Inspector.

Barakat suggested two names to Molohan as possible candidates.
One was that of young Abdulwahid 24 years old and the other one was of Erika Fiah, who was 53.

Coming to Tanganyika with the British forces from Uganda during World War I, Fiah was the first African to establish and own a newspaper in colonial Tanganyika.

He made Tanganyika his home and settled at Mission Quarter from where he lived and edited his paper, Kwetu.

[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 752, bgcolor: transparent"]Like all politicians of his time, Fiah was a Pan-Africanist first and a nationalist second.

Fiah was also one of the earliest Marxists in Tanganyika and his paper Kwetu came to be popular because of its strong anti-colonial sting.

Fiah was an African politician well ahead of his time.

In 1930s he had tried to organise the working class and the peasantry as a united force against colonial rule but failed as people at that time were not yet conscious enough for mass mobilization.
[1]

Fiah was a better mobiliser, organiser and more mature.

During the period between the two world wars, Fiah had used his pen to articulate problems facing Africans and gave out his opinions which were not always received kindly by the government.
[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 752, bgcolor: transparent"]But Fiah was not only an enemy of the government.
He was also an enemy of Kleist and other prominent Africans, most of whom were in the civil service.

Way back in 1933 there had been a clash of personality and power struggle between Kleist and Fiah for the leadership of the African Association.

Through his paper Fiah attacked Kleist, accusing him of unpatriotic behaviour because of his South African origin. [2]

To avert a crisis, Kleist resigned as the Association's secretary and Fiah was elected in his place.
[3]

In a cruel and cynical obituary on the death of Martin Kayamba,
[4] Fiah lamented that Africans did not benefit from Kayamba's education or from his post as a clerk to Assistant Chief Secretary.[5]

Fiah also clashed with Europeans.

In 1940 he wrote an editorial directed at Europeans who were criticising him for speaking out his mind and for publishing articles on the rights of Africans.
[6]

Fiah was quite a character.

Despite the fact that the dockworkers procession to Abdulwahid's house had made him the local champion of the port labour movement, he certainly was no match for Fiah.

hakuna. .

Tatizo lako humu JF kishabiki.

Hapa nakushushia listi utaniambia kama ni Waislam au Wakirstu.

Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Jean Kambanda, Tito, Jonas Savimbi, Ante Pavalic, Benito Mussolini, Mobutu Sese Seko, Charles Taylor.

Kwa uchache nimekutajia viongozi Wakirsto walifanya mauwaji ya kutisha au nikushushie kila moja watu aliowauwa.

Unaonekana bado kijana nakushauri jifunze zaidi kuliko kuwa unapinga.

hivyo vilikuwa vita vya kidini?

Umeeleza upande wako nami nimeeleza upande wangu.

Sasa unganisha na hii kutoka katika kitabu changu upate picha kamili:

TAA HQ New Street Dar es Salaam 1950

[TABLE="class: MsoNormalTable"]
[TR]
[TD]Frustrated with the association's political stagnation, Abdulwahid and Mwapachu, one afternoon without prior warning to anyone, crossed the road from the Tanga Club and stormed into the office of the TAA at New Street and staged a coup against the elected leadership by manhandling Clement Mtamila who was at that time at the premises.

During the war Abdulwahid had been his regiment's boxing champion for both Kenya and Tanganyika. Abdulwahid had therefore no problem in disposing of Mtamila[1]

Following this violent show of revolutionary force, the old leadership succumbed to the young men's demands for elections at the headquarters.

In March, 1950, young Haya doctor of medicine, Vedasto Kyaruzi, and Abdulwahid were elected president and secretary respectively.
[2]

When the young men took over the TAA, it had only eighty-seven shillings in its account with Barclays Bank.

[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD="width: 752, bgcolor: transparent"]This was the beginning of the end of the influence of the old generation and the beginning of nationalism in Tanganyika.

From that day Abdulwahid's name, that of his young brother Ally, and that of Mwapachu began to be associated with the TAA headquarters and the emerging nationalist politics. Abdulwahid was moving away from the political shadow of his late father to become a leader in his own right.

Abdulwahid's position as the secretary of Al Jamiatul Islamiyya and the newly acquired post of TAA secretary put him in good political standing.

He consolidated his own position and the family tradition of public service.

Gradually he began to build a new and independent political base with the alliance of the Makerere intellectuals.

Some of the older politicians of the previous generation and acquaintances of his father like Schneider and Mashado Plantan and Clement Mtamila supported him and Kyaruzi in reviving the TAA headquarters.

[2] Information from Dossa Aziz interviewed in1987. Also see Iliffe, 'A Modern History...'pp. 507-508. Mtamila survived the turmoil and was
the elder politician who welcomed John Hatch of the Labour Party of Great Britain when he visitedTanganyika in 1955 as guest of TANU.
 
Kwa hiyo haya mauaji wapo sawa kutoa roho za watu.Vipi mauaji ya Joseph Koni Uganda?

.....

Mtoto wa jirani yetu amekuwa mgumu wa kuelewa anachofundishwa darasani ikabidi wampeleke kwa mganga wa kienyeji bado tatizo likabaki pale pale, haelewi anachofundishwa.

Wakampeleka kwenye maombi tatizo likawa palepale, ajabu mtoto ana kipaji kikali kweli cha kucheza mpira, asaiv yupo saudia anatumikia kipaji chake, shule imeshindikana. unaweza kujaribu kipaji chako.
 

Kitabu uandike wewe, mjadala uhusu kitabu hichohicho, mtuhumiwa ni wewe, kisha utetezi uutoe kwenye kitabu hichohicho halafu useme hujinukuu?

Inaingia akilini kweli mzee wangu wewe?
 
Spike Lee mimi naona wewe endelea kuchota histohisia ya MS-naona umechotwa mzima mzima-unachanganya kuchinjana kidini kwa mashia/sunni na mauaji yasiyohusu dini

Joseph Rao Kony.

Lord's Resistance Army.

Mauaji anayofanya siyo ya dini?

madhara ya mafundisho ya chuki ndo kama haya....
hapa nimelazimika kucheki na jina la mkuu wa shule Bw. Shaaban Nsute.
angekuwa na jina la kikristo ndo tungesikia mengine toka kwa mzee wetu MS.
 
Hayo madogo kweli mengine unaweza ukakosa muda wa kuyaandika,lakini makubwa ukiyawacha basi hiyo unayoaandika si historia ni utani tu,
Kuacha kutajwa Abdulwahid Sykes kwenye historia ya Tanzania ni jambo kubwa wala si dogo.
Wee Mzee mdomo mkubwa tu lakini huwezi kuandika hiyo historia uipendayo ikaorodhesha hata machache madogo na makubwa.Na kama utaandika hakuna atakayeshughulika nayo.Huna pa kuanzia wala pa kumalizia.
 

Ami,

Mwanakijiji ni mzito wa kukubali ukweli.
Labda nimfahamishe hivi kwa njia nyepesi kama ataelewa.

Kwa watu wa Dar es Salaam AA siku zote ilihusishwa na Kleist Sykes.

Baada ya kifo cha Kleist chama kikahusishwa na wanae.
TAA ndiyo iliyozaa TANU.

Hiyo mikutano ya TANU ya siri ilikuwa ikifanyika nyumbani kwa Abdu.

Siyo mikutano tu hata mafaili ya TAA/TANU yakifichwa kwake na ndiyo
maana unaona leo mafaili hayo wanayo katika hifadhi ya ukoo wao.

Na haikuwa yeye Nyerere wote akina Dunstan Omar walipofika Dar es
Salaam walikwenda kwa Abdu Sykes kujuana na kuweka mipango ya
TAA.

Hata Nyerere alipofika Dar es Salaam mwaka 1952 aliomba kwanza ili
afahamike apelekwe nyumbani kwa Abdu.

Hata ule uchaguzi wa mwaka wa 1953 ulikuwa kati ya Abdu Sykes na
Nyerere.

Huwezi kuandika historia ya TAA au ya TANU au ya Nyerere usimtaje
Abdu.

Historia itakuwa haijakamilika.
