APPENDIX FIVEARMED ACTIONS FOR WHICH TARGET CATEGORY AND/OR RESPONSIBILITY IS UNCERTAIN
Please note:
This list includes all incidents we have found in press reports and from SAIRR annual surveys which cannot be classified according to the target categories used in the appendix headed "list of known MK operations". In addition, we are uncertain as to whether these attacks were carried out by bona fide MK cadres. Some appear to be the result of operational difficulties; others very probably "false flag" operations.

List of uMkhonto weSizwe Operations
uMkhonto weSizwe (MK)
Umemaliza kila kitu mkuu. Ukweli ambao wengi hawataki kuusikia na kuupokea.Bila machafuko hakuna mabadiliko yanayotakiwa kutokea yatatokea. Najua hukubaliani na ukweli huu, lakini ili mabadiliko halisi yatokee, machafuko ndio njia pekee. Hizi porojo za kukaa mezani watu wakiwa wamevaa suti na sio kuwa na bandeji, tutaendelea kuchezeana.
Watu wenye mawazo Kama yako mkuu. mnapaswa muwe wengi zaidi humu Jf na katika Taifa letu ili ukombozi sahihi na kwa wakati sahii upatikane.Diplomasia inaweza kuwa suluhu kama una deal na mtu mwenye busara na utu. Ila diplomasia haifanyi kazi kwenye mtu anaeamini falsafa za ubepari haiwezi kuwa na jibu muafaka.
Bepari yeyote anaamini katika vita ili ahodhi madaraka na mali wala hana huruma na wewe hata kama ni mnyonge kiasi gani. Tena anafurahia uzidi kuwa mnyonge ili yeye afaidi matunda ya unyonyaji.
This is what we are going through as a nation. Ujinga wa kufikiri suluhu itapatikana kwa kumbembeleza aliyeshiba asiendelee kujikusanyia magunia ya nafaka sababu wewe una njaa utaishia kufedheeka na kushangaa na roho yako Mzee.
Ukiona mtu anatukana ujue amekosa hoja, kichwani kumegoma an opt to use character assassination type of argument!Ushawahi kujiuliza risasi zinavyomtesa mwilini mwake? Huyo ana laana kubwa sana anajifanya kudoma sheria ndo kujua kila kitu! Very stupid!
Mshana Jr uko sahihi, tena sahihi sana, lakini nyuma ya pazia Nyerere alifanya uovu mwingi...soma kitabu cha Ludovick Mwijage ( Julius K Nyerere: Servant of God or Untarnished Tyrant).......kuna chapter ya Dark side of Nyerere's legacy.... soma upate hard facts to believe about Nyerere.But angalau yeye hakuwa mlafi na alikuwa na maono makubwa
wewe unasapoti uarifuuuUmemaliza kila kitu mkuu. Ukweli ambao wengi hawataki kuusikia na kuupokea.
Ualifu upi mimi ninao uunga mkono?🤔wewe unasapoti uarifuuu
Hauko sahihi ; soma kitabu cha ''Desire of ages'' Cha Dr Fist iron Mackuel!!…..soma kitabu cha UJamaa by JK Nyerere!!Mshana Jr uko sahihi, tena sahihi sana, lakini nyuma ya pazia Nyerere alifanya uovu mwingi...soma kitabu cha Ludovick Mwijage ( Julius K Nyerere
Servant of God or Untarnished Tyrant).......kuna chapter ya Dark side of Nyerere's legacy.... soma upate hard facts to believe about Nyerere.
Short of that aliwapenda watu wake...
Can we say Hitler hakuwapenda watu? Hitler hakuwa na wafuasi? Idd A,min Hakuwa na wafuasi, Yahya Jameh hakuwa na wafuasi? Dictators are like that!
Ingekuwa diplomasia inafanya kazi CCM wasingekuwa wanatumia polisi kujihakikishia ushindi.Umemaliza kila kitu mkuu. Ukweli ambao wengi hawataki kuusikia na kuupokea.
Tatizo mkuu maneno Kama haya ukiwambia watu wanasema wewe haupendi amani Ila wanasahau bila haki hamna amani bali hofu ujaa. Kama wafaransa , wamarekani , wachina, warusi wangeogopa kupigania ukombozi na mabadiliko ya mataifa yao leo wasinge kuwa hapa. diplomacy kwa nchi zetu za kiafrika kwa watawala wababe katu mabadiliko hayawezi kupatikana kwa njia ya diplomacy. Watu wasidhani CCM itaamua kwa hiari yao kuachia tu madaraka kwa njia ya diplomacy hilo haliwezekani kwa kuwa wanajua madhara ya wao kutokuwa kwenye madaraka ni kuhukumiwa kwa makosa walio fanya . Hivyo hawapo tayari kuona mabadiliko yanatokea kwa njia ya diplomacy.Ingekuwa diplomasia inafanya kazi CCM wasingekuwa wanatumia polisi kujihakikishia ushindi.
