WASHINGTON

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will visit troubled South Sudan and Kenya on an 11-day Africa trip starting this week aimed at spurring economic growth, peace and security, a US official said Monday.

Clinton heads first on Tuesday to Senegal before traveling on to the world's newest nation on a trip which will also take in Uganda, Malawi and South Africa, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

In Senegal, the US top diplomat will meet with President Macky Sall, whose coalition won a landslide majority in legislative polls earlier this month, scooping up 119 of 150 seats in the national assembly.

Clinton will "deliver a speech applauding the resilience of Senegal's democratic institutions and highlighting America's approach to partnership," Nuland said in a statement.

Next Clinton will add another country to her globe-trotting tally of 102 nations visited as secretary of state by visiting South Sudan, which this month marked the first anniversary of its independence.

Clinton noted earlier that South Sudan had made strides in nation-building and on building a legal framework. Yet "despite the progress, significant challenges remain that threaten stability and prosperity," she warned.

The United States is leading international warnings to Sudan and South Sudan to step up efforts to reach a peace deal this week or face possible UN sanctions.

South Sudan broke away from Sudan in July 2011, but no deal has ever been made to set their frontier, how to share revenues from oil reserves that straddle the border, or how to settle citizenship disputes.

The UN Security Council has given the rival neighbours, who this year came close to all-out war, until Thursday to make their peace.

While in South Sudan, Clinton will meet President Salva Kiir "to reaffirm US support and to encourage progress in negotiations with Sudan to reach agreement on issues related to security, oil and citizenship," Nuland said.

Before returning to the United States on August 10, Clinton will also stop in Uganda - undeterred by reports that the deadly Ebola virus has reached the capital Kampala - as well as Kenya.

She will meet with Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni "to encourage strengthening of democratic institutions and human rights."

Talks will also focus on Somalia and efforts to combat the Lord's Resistance Army.

In Kenya, she will meet with top officials, and "to underscore US support for completing the political transition in Somalia by August 20, Secretary Clinton will also meet with President Sheikh Sharif."

After visiting Malawi, Clinton will then travel to South Africa accompanied by an American business delegation "to participate in the US-South Africa Strategic Dialogue focusing on the partnership between our two countries."

During her stay in South Africa, Clinton will also "pay her respects" to former president Nelson Mandela who has just celebrated his 94th birthday.

Earlier this year, Clinton pledged US backing for democratic and economic development in north Africa as she toured the region that gave birth to the Arab Spring.

Hizo Visa za Marekani na China, zote ni kutuingiza mkenge tu, tena bora Marekani walivyotunyima. Kwa sababu sisi hatufanyi biashara na Wamarekani wala Wachina, China wameturuhusu tuingine China kiholela holela kwa sababu tunaenda kuokota bidhaa-takataka kuja kuzi dampu Afrika. Afrika ni dampo la bidhaa mbovu, Kiingereza wanaita "dumping ground." hata wewe ungeanzisha biashara ya kuuza takataka zinazotupwa Tabata dampo halafu ukawapata wateja wanakuomba wazifuate wenyewe, ungekataa? Ndo maana China haimnyimi mtu visa!

Unataka Visa ya Marekani na China ya kwenda kufanya nao biashara, wewe Mmakonde wa Ntwala unapeleka nini Marekani, vinyago?

Sorry, this is a stupid contribution, accepting your own weakness as a staying fact.
Ho low!

Hivi ni kipi ambacho US hawajakifanya ambacho china inakifanya kiasi kwamba tuwakatae?Kwa upande wangu naona bora hata china ingawa wote ni wanyonyaji lakini china hawana mpango wa kutuchonganisha tupigane kama wanavyotufanyia US,France na UK.

In Africa, Clinton takes subtle swipe at China


“I will be talking about what that means, about a model of sustainable partnership that adds value rather than extracts it,” Clinton told a university audience in this West African capital. “That’s America’s commitment to Africa.”

China surpassed the United States as Africa’s largest trading partner in 2009, with the energy sector leading the change. Africa accounts for an estimated one-third of Chinese oil imports, behind only the Middle East.

Clinton acknowledged that the United States and other Western nations, with centuries of exploitative trade and business enterprises in Africa, are hardly blameless.
“The days of having outsiders come and extract the wealth of Africa for themselves, leaving nothing or very little behind, should be over in the 21st century,” she said....

The fear of extremism and terrorism undergirds Clinton’s choice to visit Uganda, which is led by one of Africa’s long-surviving strongmen but is also a key U.S. partner in counterterrorism and other security goals.

Clinton will also visit the new nation of South Sudan — where the Obama administration is worried about a war with Sudan or a prolonged economic decline — along with Kenya, ... and Malawi.

Hapo buluu, ndio amesema nini?

Vyandarua na vita dhidi ya ugaidi ndio added value?

Clinton atatembelea Malawi na Malawi wanatafuta mafuta katika Lake Nyasa na kuijibu ufedhuli Tanzania... Added value hio! Vita inakuja.

Sasa wacha niwachekeshe kidogo. Siku ambayo Twin towers ziliripuliwa ni siku hiyo hiyo ndio yalifanyika mazoezi ya matayarisho ya terror attack katika minara hiyo. Lakini hakukuwa na jet za kijeshi zilizoweza ku-intercept ndege zilizotekwa. Na zaidi siku hiyo Mdogo wa Bush ndio alikuwa anamaliza mkataba wa kutoa security service/ ulinzi katika majengo hayo.

Pili, siku balozi za US zilipopigwa mabomu Dar na Nairobi zilipigwa kwa wakati mmoja/ (saa) na ni balozi za US tu!

Hapa ndio kichekesho chenyewe, Hawa US wana CIA, State dept na Homeland security dept ambazo kila wakati hutoa vitisho(tahadhari) alert kuwa kutatokea ugaidi lakini katika matokeo hayo mawili wanasema hawakuwa na fununu/ habari.

Cheka halafu changanya na zako. Tembelea hapa addedvalue

Americans should wake up and realise that they are no longer a super rich nation... China is and they will soon take over the world

Matukio ya Kisiasa




Waziri wa Mambo ya Nchi za Nje wa Marekani Hillary Clinton amewahimiza viongozi wa kiafrika kuimarisha uhusiano na nchi zinazojali misingi ya demokrasia , na kuzipa kisogo zile zinazoweka mbele tu maslahi ya kibiashara.
Ushauri huo wa Bi Clinton kwa viongozi wa Kiafrika, ulitafsiriwa kuilenga China bila kuitaja kwa jina, ambayo imekuwa ikikosolewa na nchi za Magharibi kuweka mbele maslahi yake ya kibiashara barani Afrika, huku ikipuuza masuala mengine muhimu kama vile haki za binadamu na utunzaji wa mazingira.
Aliitoa kauli hiyo mbele ya hadhara ya wanasheria na wanadiplomasia katika mji mkuu wa Senegal, Dakar, ambako alianzia ziara yake barani Afrika. Bi Clinton alisema kuna maeneo mengi barani Afrika ambako demokrasia inakabiliwa na kitisho, na ambako haki za binadamu hukanyagwa.
''Waafrika wengi bado wanaishi chini ya utawala wa madikteta ambao kwao suala lenye kipaumbele ni kung'ang'ania madarakani kuliko kuinua kiwango cha maisha ya watu wao''. Alisema Hillary Clinton.
Mwisho wa siku za unyonyaji
Waziri wa mambo ya nchi za nje wa Marekani Hillary Clinton akikutana na kundi la wanawake Senegal

Waziri huyo wa mambo ya nchi za nje wa Marekani alisema nchi yake inataka uhusiano na Afrika ambao unazinufaisha pande mbili, na si ule wenye nia ya kuchukua raslimali za bara hilo.
''Siku za wageni kuja barani Afrika na kuchukua utajiri wa bara hilo, bila kuacha chochote nyuma, zimekwisha'' Aliongeza.
Bi Clinton alisema Marekani itazingatia utawala wa sheria na demokrasia, kinyume na nchi nyingine ambazo zinayafumbia macho masuala hayo katika kulinda maslahi yake.
Ushindani wa biashara
Mchambuzi Jackie Cilliers kutoka Taasisi ya Utafiti juu ya Masuala ya Amani iliyopo nchini Afrika Kusini, anasema mtazamo huu mpya wa Marekani kuhusu bara la Afrika, una malengo ya ushindani wa kibiashara.
''Hakuna shaka kwamba ushindani kati ya Marekani na China unaweka ushawishi katika siasa za nje za Marekani. Na ushindani wa kibiashara kati ya China na Marekani barani Afrika unashika kasi. Alipokuwa ziarani nchini Tanzania, Hillary Clinton alisema Afrika inakabiliwa na aina mpya ya ukoloni, ambao unalenga kunyonya raslimali za bara hilo. Alisema Cilliers na kuongeza kwamba hiyo haina tofauti na yale yaliyoyafanywa nchi za magharibi barani Afrika siku za nyuma.'
Nchi za magharibi huishutumu China kupuuza haki za binadamu barani Afrika

Kauli ya waziri wa mambo ya nchi za nje wa Marekani inakuja baada ya rais wa China Hu Jintao kutangaza mkopo wa dola bilioni 20 kwa nchi za Afrika, na kusema kuwa China ni rafiki wa Afrika ambaye anajali uhuru wa nchi za bara hilo kujichagulia njia ya kufuata katika mchakato wa kujiendeleza.
Katika ziara hii ya siku 11, Hillary Clinton atazitembelea pia Sudan Kusini, Uganda, Kenya na Malawi. Nchi nyingine atakazozizuru ni Afrika Kusini, na Ghana.

kuna viongozi wa serikali mbalimbali za africa ambao wamepigwa ban kwenda uk or america kwa sababu ya kukandamiza wananchi wao. JK na wenzake wanaikandamiza sekta ya habari hapa nchini kwamba vyombo vya habari haviko huru kuandika wanachotaka. Wafanya kazi wao kunyanyaswa kwa kushindwa kupewa haki yao ya msingi kama kuandamana au kuongezewa posho..alafu akienda america anaenda kupokelewa kwa moyo wote...Viongozi wa nchi hii wapigwe ban kwenda ulaya mpaka hapo watakapo sort out hii nchi

Waandishi wa habari wa tanzania ndiyo chanzo cha shida zote hizi, vyombo vya habari vinanunulika sana tena kwa bei ya kutupwa leo mwandishi anakubali kupewa ukuu wa wilaya na kukubali kuweka kalamu chini, ni aibu, leo mnaitwa na rais badala ya kuuliza maswali muhimu yanayoisumbua jamii bila ufumbuzi kama;

• ukandamiza wa demokrasia kupitia jeshi la polisi kwa kuzuia mikutano ya kisiasa eti intelijensia
• kupigwa kwa ulimboka na serikali
• Migomo isiyoisha
• rushwa ktk bunge
• kuingiliwa kwa uhuru wa mahakama

Halafu leo media mnataka kuwa mhimili wa nne wa dola hii ni ajabu na kweli, alivyorusha tundu lissu kombola la uteuzi wa majaji wasiojua kimombo, na nyie wandishi ni bora mkubali mmeshindwa kazi.Chombo cha habari huru ni Kubenea and co. Kama ilivyokuwa enzi ya gazeti la MOTOMOTO.Tanzania atatokea Kenny Salawiwo wa bongo kweli??????

Mkuu umesikia wapi nguo za mtumba au viatu zinatoka china? Wazungu ndio wanaona zinatufaa sisi, Jameni wanatuletea hata chupi na soksi za mtumba. Dharau hiyo. Marekani na europa pia wamejazana vitu vya mchina kwao. Ila mchina anapeleka vitu vya quality kwao kwa sababu ndio wanamtolea order na masharti, Pembeni wanatengeneza vitu vile vile lakini vya bei ya chini (quality nayo inapungua) kwa sababu ya soko la Afrika, sisi inabidi tununue kwa kuwa tumefulia zaidi. Ukiona kitu hakifai usikinunue, mwenye kuleta akipata hasara trip nyingine hataleta.

wHAT AN INSOLENCE! Why should she teach the Africans? I bet she still thinks we are just niggers. If the Chinese are bad we will discover that ourselves, we do not need a ***** to come and tell us.
I want to see America go down in my lifetime because of their crimes, endless wars and arrogance. Since the 60's the whole continent has been allied to US, UK and Germany. What did we get? Even clothes, people now wear good clothes and have shoes because of China. During the European hegemonies they were not thinking of a poor man. They were producing goods only for a certain class. I lived in times when you go to rural Tanzania you will be lucky to see a person wearing shoes!

Mkuu,

I have no further comment, get 5/5.

Well said Mkuu. President Kabila once said ''Kila mtu anakuja hapa anachimba Almasi, dhahabu na kila kitu then anaondoka. Toka enzi za wabeleji,sasa Kuna ubaya gani leo hawa Wachina wakitujengea mabarabara,mashule,mavyuo,bada la ya kulipa faranga tukalipa madini ambayo huko nyuma wabeleji na wengine walibeba tu Bila kuacha faranga au chochote?''. According to me he has a point here.
