Former Sen. Jeff Flake is among more than two-dozen former Republican members of Congress to endorse Joe Biden for president on Monday, hours ahead of the #RNC.

In 2005 the then IGP Mahita raised similar anxieties against CUF that they were knives touting and the knives were freshly painted with CUF colours to drive a point home but we refused to bite that yarn and now we refuse to once more!
2020 it's Act Wazalendo turn to whom police are attempting to paint as knives carrying thugs but the truth is only in elections we witness police state imposing CCM as angels!
Where are the accused? We asked the then IGP Omary Mahita in 2005 the same question when he flashed brand new knives painted in CUF colours claiming they were plotting election related violence todate there's nothing to support such wild accusations...Now it is time to vilify Act Wazalendo in Lindi region that they are plotting violence to justify rampant abuses of human rights
