UN: We call on the Tanzanian Government to immediately halt plans for relocation of the people living in Loliondo

I don't second the ruthless confrontation and the consequent scourge inflicted upon both the Maasai and the police; however, we are a sovereign country retaining the right to resolve our internal matters. Sidhani wangetuingilia kama ingekuwa uongozi wa Mwl. Nyerere au Mkapa au Magufuli.
 
UN experts ni akina nani? Experts on what? Watanzania tuachaneni na upumbavu Wa hawa outsiders kuanzia Kenya hadi huko sijui UN.
Hakuna kitu kinaitwa UN experts halafu wakawa na nguvu ya kutia tamko juu ya nchi nyingine. Wakati Lissu akipokea mvua ya risasi hao experts mbona hawakutoa hata neno moja? Au hicho Kitengo kilikuwa hakijaundwa kipindi kile? Upumbavu tu wa Wakenya. Ecologicaly, anthropogenic activities should stop in Ngorongoro, Hilo Halina ubishi na Rais SSH anajua hili Kwa sababu akiwa Makamu Wa Rais alisimamia Division of Environment at the Office Vice President. She is well informed. Ngorongoro isiwe kichaka cha kuchungia Wakenya. No
Lisu ndio nani na wewe?

Mbona kuna watu kibao wanauawa na majambazi huku mitaani nao unataka UN watoe tamko?
 
Punguza mhemuko ndugu UN is UN hata uhuru wa Tanganyika tulienda kuwaomba wao.
Hahahahaha......upo sawa lakini hakuna kitu inaitwa UN experts. Walau wangesema UN experts on environment and wildlife science. Na wakisema UN experts on environment tungetarajia itoke kupitia UNEP.
Ingekuwa UN experts on humanitarian basis basi tamko hata UNHCR, mbona Haya mambo yapo wapo wazi? Huu uzushi unakujaje?
 
waka pambane na museveni huko yeye ana hamisha vijiji kwa nguvu...

waende Burma pia, waka angaike na kiduku

pia wapige kura ya kutu ondoa ktk umoja huo kama walivyo fanya kwa waRusia
 

Tanzania: UN experts warn of escalating violence amidst plans to forcibly evict Maasai from ancestral lands​

GENEVA (15 June 2022) – UN human rights experts* have expressed grave concerns about continuous encroachment on traditional Maasai lands and housing, accompanied by a lack of transparency in, and consultation with the Maasai Indigenous Peoples, during decision making and planning.

“We are deeply alarmed at reports of use of live ammunition and tear gas by Tanzanian security forces on 10 June 2022, reportedly resulting in about 30 people sustaining minor to serious injuries from live bullets and the death of a police officer,” the experts said.

“We call on the Tanzanian Government to immediately halt plans for relocation of the people living in Loliondo and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and begin consultations with the Maasai Indigenous Peoples, including direct contact with the Ngorongoro Pastoral Council, to jointly define current challenges to environmental conservation and best avenues to resolve them, while maintaining a human rights-based approach to conservation,” said the experts.

Yaani mtu anatolewa pasipo hata na choo anapelekwa kwenye nyumba yenye shamba na anapewa na hati juu alafu UN wanapinga?🤣🤣🤣

Kweli hawa watakuwa expert wa mchongo
 
Hahahahaha......upo sawa lakini hakuna kitu inaitwa UN experts. Walau wangesema UN experts on environment and wildlife science. Na wakisema UN experts on environment tungetarajia itoke kupitia UNEP.

Statement by the Chairperson of the Permanent Forum on the eviction of Maasai people from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania​

14 June 2022
The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues expresses its profound concern over ongoing efforts to evict over 70,000 Maasai people of Loliondo division of the Ngorongoro district of Tanzania from the 1,500 square kilometers, which are legally registered village lands.

On June 8, the Permanent Forum received reports that Tanzanian police using force, including indiscriminate use of firearms, forcibly evicted the Maasai from their homelands, injuring dozens of people and causing thousands to flee into the forest. Various arbitrary arrests of community leaders, including Village Councillors and Chairpersons were also reported. These actions are a clear violation of the human and collective rights of the Maasai people of Loliondo.

Given these circumstances, the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues calls on the government of Tanzania to immediately cease efforts to evict the Maasai people from the Ngorongoro conservation area as stated in the report of the 21st session in 2022 to be presented at ECOSOC.

Furthermore, the Forum calls on the government of Tanzania to comply with the provisions recognized in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and other relevant international human rights instruments, and ensure the right of the Maasai to participate in decision-making, considering that their land in Loliondo for safari tourism, trophy hunting and “conservation” will affect their lives and territory.

As affirmed in Article 10 of the UN Declaration “Indigenous peoples shall not be forcibly removed from their lands or territories. No relocation shall take place without the free, prior and informed consent of the indigenous peoples concerned and after agreement on just and fair compensation and, where possible with the option to return.”

Additionally, the Forum urges the government of Tanzania to withdraw all armed forces; stop human rights violations, harassment and violence, bring perpetrators to justice; and allow journalists, lawyers, human rights observers and civil society organizations to enter Loliondo, speak with the affected Maasai and report on the situation without intimidation.

The removal of indigenous peoples from their lands, including the Maasai peoples, where they have been living for generations, will impact their survival.

* The Village Land Act of 1999 requires consultation procedures with Village Council and Village Assemblies in cases where evictions are deemed necessary. The Village Land Act also requires full, fair and prompt compensation.​

* In 2018 the East African Court of Justice issued an injunction prohibiting the government of Tanzania from evicting the Maasai from the area.​

* The African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights decision in Center for Minority Rights Development (Kenya) and Minority Rights Group (on behalf of Endorois Welfare Council) v. Kenya states that the members should be consulted and their consent should be sought and obtained.​

Watatoa kila statement ila tutaendelea na zoezi la kulinda rasilimali zetu at any cost
 
Kama ni mikwara mbuzi tutaona kama tutaacha,na watu wameshaanza kuondoka na Polisi wameshika doria Loliondo.
Hayo ni maigizo tu.

 
I don't second the ruthless confrontation and the consequent scourge inflicted upon both the Maasai and the police; however, we are a sovereign country retaining the right to resolve our internal matters. Sidhani wangetuingilia kama ingekuwa uongozi wa Mwl. Nyerere au Mkapa au Magufuli.
We ni kajinga,kwani ni mara ya kwanza kutoa statement? Mara ngapi mliponea chupuchupu kula vikwazo kwa sababu ya kunyanyasa upinzani?
 
UN ni marekani,
Sa hizi hatutishani kabisa,
Wamalizane kwanza na Russia kisha ndio waje huku na sisi tutawakung'uta sasa sisi ni zaidi ya Russia hahaaaaa
UN ni marekani! Elimu ni muhimu sana kwenye maisha, jambo usilolijua liache lipite.
Kwa hiyo marekani ndio waliotupa Uhuru Tanganyika! Ukiitwa mjinga utaona umedharauliwa.
