Ni Zanzibar ipi wanaitaka?

[kasimba123]

Waache wale wali wale wali wao(WWWWWW) hawa jamaa wa znz muungano ukivunjika watasambaratika na hali yao itakuwa tete

 

[kwamwewe]

wanaitaka nchi "yao" ya zanzibar; wanataka kurudia "utukufu wa zanzibar" kwa kuwa hapa walipo sasa hawaoni manufaa "yoyote" kwa zanzibar. Wanasema wanaitaka nchi yao waliyonyang'anywa na wadanganyika (ati watanganyika). Wanataka warudishiwe nchi yao waliyonyang'anywa na nyerere na watu wa bara.

Ni zanzibar ipi hiyo wanayoitaka?

• zanzibar ya historia ya kale (zenj - nchi ya weusi?) ambayo ni zaidi ya visiwa vya unguja na pemba bali na mwambao wa afrika ya mashariki
• zanzibar ya sultani(ambaye naye utawala wake ulizidi mipaka ya unguja na pemba)
• zanzibar ya sultani chini ya mwingereza
• zanzibar ya baada ya uhuru na sultani akiwa bado ni mkuu wa nchi na serikali ya mseto
• zanzibar ya mapinduzi kabla ya muungano
• zanzibar "mpya" ambayo haijawahi kuwepo yaani ya baada ya muungano

ni ipi hasa wanayoitaka? Ni ipi hasa zanzibar "proper". Isije kuwa ni kama nchi ya ahadi ambayo iko katika fikra za watu tu lakini haijawahi kuwepo; yaani ile nchi imiminikayo maziwa na asali na kwamba watu wa bara na dunia nzima wanataka kuwanyang'anya wazanzibari. Na labda hapa itabidi tulijibu swali pia kuwa mzanzibari ni nani hasa?

huu ni waraka kutoka kanisa lipi ???????????????????????

[Hamuyu]

Zanzibar ni ya Wazanzibari, Mzanzibari ametajwa ndani ya katiba ya Zanzibar 1984 na ndani ya Sheria inayoitwa the Zanzibaries act no.5 ya 1985. kufikiria kwamba wazanzibari hatujitambui huo ni ujinga Zanzibar ilikua Jamhuri kabla ya Muungano, Zanzibar imepata uhuru wake tarehe 09, December 1963, na imepata kuwa mwanachama wa Umoja wa Mataifa kabla ya Tanganyika, na wala Tanganyika haijawahi kuwa mwanachama wa Umoja wa Mataifa. ukifikiria kwamba Zanzibar ni kama Tarafa unahitaji kwenda Mirembe kupimwa akili

TANGANYIKA



Tanganyika 1815-1886



Tanganyika kama taasisi ya kijiografia na kisiasa haikuchukua sura kuwapo kabla ya wakati wa Ubeberu Mkuu (High Imperialism), jina lake limeanza kutumika baada ya kile kilichojulikana na kuitwa kama “Ujerumani ya Afrika ya Mashariki” (German East Africa) kuhamishiwa na kukabithiwa kwa Uingereza kama Mamlaka ya Umoja wa Mataifa katika mwaka 1920. Huu ndio mukhtasari wa historia ya eneo ambalo baadae itakuwa ni nchi ya Tanganyika.

Katika 1698 na tena katika 1725 wa-Omani waliwang’oa Wareno kutoka bandari za biashara kwenye pwani ya Afrika Mashariki, hasa kutoka Kilwa na Zanzibar. Wakati wa karne ya 18, Zanzibar ilikuwa ilijitokeza kama bandari kubwa ya kanda (Region) na pwani ya Afrika Mashariki. Biashara kwa ujumla ilikuwa na ikafanikiwa, mlolongo wa miji ya pwani pamoja na biashara kati yao ikiwemo TANGA na BAGAMOYO, alikuwa na kushamiri.

Katika 1841, Sultani Sayyid Said kahamishia makao makuu yake kutoka Muscat na kuleta Zanzibar; pamoja naye walikuja Waarabu wengi ambao waliukuza uchumi. Katika 1856, Usultani wa Zanzibar ulitengwa na Usultani wa Oman, na Zanzibar ikabaki na mamlaka yake ikiwa na visiwa vya Unguja na Pemba ikiwemo ardhi ya pwani ya Afrika Mashariki, ikiwa ni pamoja na Kilwa. Wafanyabiashara wa Kiarabu walimarisha njia na misafara katika maeneo ya ndani ya Afrika, ngamia ikiwa ndio vyombo vikuu vya usafiri.
Bandari ya Zanzibar ilikuwa ikitembelewa na meli za Kiholanzi, Kiingereza na Ufaransa. British East India Company alikuwa mwakilishi wa Zanzibar, ambayi ilifanya kazi kama mshauri wa Sultan.
Mwaka 1848 Misionari wa Ujerumani Johannes REBMANN 'aligundua' Mlima Kilimanjaro, nae Burton na Speke 1858 'aligundua' Ziwa Tanganyika.

Katika 1877 mfululizo wa kwanza wa misafara ya Ubelgiji iliwasili Zanzibar. Katika mtiririko wa misafara hiyo, mwaka 1879 kituo cha kwanza kilianzishwa KAREMA ukingoni mwa mashariki ya Ziwa Tanganyika, na kufuatiwa na kituo cha MPALA ukingo wa pili yake magharibi ya ziwa. Vituo Wote walikuwa vilianzishwa kwa jina la COMITE D'ETUDES DU HAUT CONGO, ni shirika lililotangulia kile kilichoitwa baadae "Kongo Free State". Ukweli kwamba kituo hiki kilikuwa kimeimarishwa na kuhudumiwa na mahitaji yake yote hutolewa kutoka na kuongozwa (Adminstered) kutoka Zanzibar na Bagamoyo kilipelekea kuingizwa Afrika Mashariki katika eneo la Bonde la Kongo (CONVENTIONAL BASIN OF THE CONGO) katika Mkutano BERLIN wa 1885.
Katika meza ya mkutano wa Berlin, kinyume na mtazamo mkubwa ulokuwapo, Afrika haikuwa partitioned; badala yake sheria zilianzishwa na kuimarishwa miongoni mwa mamlaka za ukoloni na mamlaka ya kikoloni zilizotarajiwa hapo baadae, jinsi ya kuendelea katika uanzishaji wa makoloni na Himaya (protectorates). Wakati maslahi yao Ubelgiji haraka kujilimbikizia na kujiimarisha kwenye Mto Kongo, Waingereza na Wajerumani wa Afrika Mashariki katika 1886 waliikata mapande (partitioned) Bara Afrika Mashariki miongoni mwao wenyewe; Usultani wa Zanzibar, ukaporwa mamlaka yake na kubakizwa na visiwa vya Unguja na Pemba tu, na kubakia na kutambuliwa kama ‘nchi huru’.

Kongo Free State hatimaye iliazimka kuondoa madai yake juu ya Karema (kituo kikongwe katika Afrika ya Kati) na katika wilaya zote za mashariki ya Ziwa Tanganyika, na kuwachia mamalaka kwa Ujerumani.
Tanganyika a British Mandate 1918-1939
Kipindi cha utawala wa Uingereza kilianza na uvamizi wa kisiwa cha MAFIA, na Royal Navy katika 1914. Mwaka 1916, koloni lilichukuliwa na kutawaliwa; askari wa Kijerumani, wakiongozwa na Paul von Lettow-VORBECK waliliendelea kupingana dhidi ya wavamizi mpaka mwisho wa vita vikuu vya dunia WW1. Mwaka 1920, Umoja wa Mataifa, ulikabidhi kwa Uingereza mamlaka yote ya utawala wa zamani wa Ujerumani katika koloni la Ujerumani ya Afrika Mashariki, isipokuwa Rwanda na Burundi.

Katika 1920 Koloni lilipewa jina la Wilaya za Tanganyika (Tanganyika Territories). Katika 1921 Wabelgiji walikabidhi rasmi kwa utawala wa Uingereza ‘Wilaya’ ya Kigoma, ambayo walikuwa wakiitawala tangu mwanzo wa uvamizi, Uingereza na Ubelgiji walisaini makubaliano kuhusu mipaka kati ya Tanganyika na Ruanda-Urundi katika 1924..

Sera ya Uingereza ilikuwa na utawala wa moja kwa moja, yaani kwa njia ya viongozi wa Afrika. Katika 1926, Halmashauri ya bunge ilianzishwa, ambayo ilikuwa na ushauri wa mkoa. Katika 1928 Reli baina ya Tabora na Mwanga ilifunguliwa kwa usafiri, line kutoka Moshi na Arusha katika 1929.

Katika 1919 idadi ya watu ilikuwa inakadiriwa kufikia 3,500,000. Katika 1931 sensa rasmi ya wakazi wa Tanganyika wakati wenyeji 5,022,640, kwa kuongeza 32,398 wa-Asia na wa-Ulaya 8,228.
Chini ya utawala wa Uingereza, juhudi yalifanyika kupambana na Tsetse Flies (Charles Swynnerton, tangu 1919), ya kupambana na Malaria na Bilharziasis; hospitali zaidi zilijengwa.

Mwaka 1926, chini ya utawala wa kikoloni zilitolewa ruzuku kwa shule zinayoendeshwa na wamisionari, na wakati huo huo kuanzisha mamlaka yake ya Uendeshaji ya usimamizi na kuanzisha miongozo. Hata hivyo, katika 1935, bajeti ya elimu kwa ajili ya Tanganyika nzima yalifikia tu (Marekani) $ 240,000.

Jee katika hio old map of Africa, Tanganyika ipo?

Wacha kuchokonoa mambo Mkuu, Zanzibar ina wenyewe na wapo macho na fitna zenu.

 

[Lole Gwakisa]

Hii ndio Zanzibar tunayoitaka ambayo mliivamia na kuichakachua April 1964.

Jee katika hio old map of Africa, Tanganyika ipo?

Wacha kuchokonoa mambo Mkuu, Zanzibar ina wenyewe na wapo macho na fitna zenu.

Mkuu na ujanja wooote wa kale umejikuta ukawa part of Tanzania,ama kweli ndege mjanja hunaswa tundu bovu.
Kwa taarifa yako omba kwa ustaarabu kutoka ndani ya muungano tukisema hutoki, hutoki.

 

[ngwini]

Mtasema mchana usiku mtalala ngoma ya sikinde inaendeleaa ,wandugu haya mambo yeshakuwa makubwa kwa kingunge yeyote yule kutoka Dodoma kutokeza pua yake.

Yaani sasa mambo ya Zanzibar ni mbele kwa mbele tu ,machogo mmefuliya bwa ha ha ha :lol:

we pimbi nani chogo?

 

[Makaimati]

..sasa Maalim Seif kadai akichaguliwa ataimarisha muungano!!

..mimi nadhani wanasiasa wa Zenj wanawachezea akili wapiga kura wao.

..kwanini suala la kuwa na muungano, ama la, halikupigiwa kura ya maoni, sambamba na suala la kuundwa kwa serikali ya mseto?

..Muungano wa serikali tatu haufai kwasababu Tanganyika is too big compared to Zenj.

..muungano huu ni bora ukavunjwa na badala yake tushirikiane na wa-Zenj kupitia EAC.

NB:

..kila siku wanadai wanashughulikia kero, sasa kero ya Zenj kuwa ndogo mno, na Tanganyika kuwa kubwa kupita kiasi, wataishughulikia namna gani?

Hakuna kero za Muungano Mkuu, Muungano wenyewe ndio kero.

Tuseme mara ngapi?

 

[Makaimati]

Mkuu na ujanja wooote wa kale umejikuta ukawa part of Tanzania,ama kweli ndege mjanja hunaswa tundu bovu.
Kwa taarifa yako omba kwa ustaarabu kutoka ndani ya muungano tukisema hutoki, hutoki.

Mtu haombi chake na iko siku mtajikuta hamna Tanzania wala Tanganyika na jeuri yenu hio.


"Ule wakati wetu na Nyerere tlikuwa tunakubali lakini hawa vijana wa leo hwakubali, Bw. Sitta, ITS OVER".

[Makaimati]

Yap, Baada ya uhuru wa Zanzibar 1963, kulikuwa na Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Watu wa Unguja. Na hivyo ndivyo ilivyokuwa ikiandikwa katika nyaraka za serikali hiyo. Baada ya Mapinduzi ndio jina la Pemba likaanza kusikika na kuwa maarufu baada ya Muungano na Tanganyika.

Lete nakala Mkuu tuthibitishe hayo ya Serikali ya Unguja.

 

[Mwalimu Mkuu]

hivi ni kwa nini hawataki tujadili suala la Muungano? kwanini ni lazima Muungano ulindwe kwa gharama yeyote? ni maslahi ya wananchi wa hizi pande mbili au watawala? hivi tuliungana nini? na ili iweje? je tumefanikiwa au la? kwa nini watu wanalalamika sisi tunalazimisha tu? kuna nini kwenye muungano?
Zanzibar! zanzibar! tumechoka kama wanataka kwenda si waende? Nyerer na Karume by the way hawapo, wao ndo wanajua walichounganisha! SISI HAYATUHUSU HIVYO YASITUUMIZE VICHWA! EBO!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jagermaster]

Hivi Zanzibar wangependa kuwa na pasi zao za kusafiria kwenda ng'ambo kwa sababu wao ni nchi vile vile na hakuna sababu ya kutumia pasi ya Tanganyika?

Mwanakijiji printing machine za passport ziko mbili Tanzania moja Dar makao makuu ya Uhamiaji na nyingine Zanzibar. Zanzibar wanajitegemea kutoa passport kwa maombi yote yaliyoanzia Zanzibar. Tena ni kutokujua tu hebu fikiria bara nzima ina printing Unity ya Pass moja huku Zanzibar pamoja na udogo wake ina machine moja kulinganisha na bara. Huu ni upendelea na kama nia ni kuwa na kava la Passport lilioandikwa Zanzibar sawa lakini kama ni unafuu wa kupata passport kwa wakati na kwa haraka basi Zanzaibar wana nafuu. Duru zinasema kuwa wakati mwingine printing mashine ya bara inazidiwa maombi mengi, then huwa wanatumwa maofsa Zanzibar kuprint passport huku wakilipwa night

 

[Nguruvi3]

Sijui ni Zanzibar ipi wanaitaka maana hata mapinduzi sasa wanasema ni ya Nyerere, lakini wanasherehekea kila mwaka na waasisi wao wanawaenzi.Tatizo la Wazanzibar wengi ni kuimba nyimbo wasizojua tungo zake. Maswali ya MM hakuna anayejibu bali tunasikia wanaonewa.Inasikitisha kuwa hakuna Mzanzibar anayeongelea kwa uchache faida za muungano.Sidhani muungano huu ni dudu linalaowaumiza Wazanzibar bila kuwa na hata faida moja.
Hii inatokana na kulishwa chuki ambazo ukiuliza hakuna anayeweza kuzifafanua, lakini zipo mioyoni mwao kwasababu ya kupandikizwa tu.

Nimefauatilia majadiliano mengi ya Wazanzibar, wao wanataka Tanganyika irudi, na sijui ni kwanini kwasababu lengo lao ni 'kuirudisha' Zanzibar. Hili la Tanganyika ni la Watanganyika na Tanganyika au Tanzania zinaweza kubaki hivyo endapo wahusika watakubali, ni majina tu.
Wanzanzibar hawasemi hatutaki muungano, wanachosema ni kuwa muungano kama upo uwe wa mambo fulani. Hii maana yake ni kuwa hawataki muungano lakini wanataka ushirikiano kwa mambo wanayodhani nje ya muungano yatawaumiza sana. Wanajua wazi kuwa ni kupitia muungano kuna fursa wanazofaidika nazo,lakini wamependikizwa chuki ya kuchukia tu hata yale mema yanayotokana na muungano, na kuaminishwa kuwa kusema hili ni faida ya muungano ni sawa na kufru na dhambi mbele ya S.W.T.

Sioni kwanini walalame, wana baraza la wawakilishi linalofanya kazi kikamilifu na kubadili kila wakitakacho. Wanashindwa nini kuamua mambo ya muungano? mfano ni kuzuia wabunge wa JMT kutoka Zanzibar, kumrejesha makamu wa rais JMT, wao kuondoka bara na kurejea kwao, kuwatimua wabara kutoka visiwani, kutangaza pesa yao kama wimbo wao wa taifa n.k.

Nimekuwa nauliza hili swali mara nyingi na sitachoka, Wazanzibar niambieni Mtanganyika ataathirika vipi kwa kuvunjika muungano! tukizingatia kuwa Wazanzibar 500,000 wanaishi bara wana ajira na biashara, na wanafaidika na huduma zote za kodi za wabara kama elimu ya juu n.k. Tafadhali nifahamisheni, Tanganyika itaathirika vipi.
