Adolay,
Mengi unayonituhumu nishayajibu huu ukumbini.
Ukipitia post zangu utakutananayo.
Mimi hapa nia yangu kwa hakika ni kueleza ile historia ile ambayo wengi hamkuwa mkiijua.
Bahati mbaya sana kuwa imekuchomeni.
Hebu soma hapa chini maneno niliyoandika kuhusu Abdu baada ya TANU kuasisiwa 1954:

[TD]Abdulwahid now thirty years old, had accomplished the ambition of his lifetime, an ambition which had originated from his late father, who 25 years before had predicted a continuous struggle between the Africans of Tanganyika and the colonial state.
Kleist Sykes had foretold the role of the next generation.
In a letter he wrote in 1933 to Mzee bin Sudi, then president of the African Association, Kleist at the tender age of twenty-nine years had this to write:

[/TD]

Kleist talked about ‘civilization,' which today would mean ‘self-determination', and about tribes which TANU transformed into a nation.
In 1954, a quarter of a century later in the same building, 25 New Street, which he had helped to build through self-help, the new generation in Tanganyika was transforming the African Association which he had founded in 1929 into an open political party, the aim which was to prepare the people for independence.
And among those leading the emerging mass movement (TANU) were his three sons, Abdulwahid, Ally and Abbas.

Sasa ikiwa historia ya wazee wangu ndiyo hii.
Akija mtu na kunambia kuwa Nyerere ndiye aliyeasisi TANU tena Pugu vipi mimi nisisahihishe kosa hilo?
