I think you are totally out of order and i am sorry but this is rubbish.
Jussa knows my stand on Union and on his outbursts. I send the message to the public and Jussa is a non issue here. I dont discuss people, but issues. If Jussa is wrong i tell him publicly and thats me. Dont distract people to discuss issues and start discussing Jussa.
Who is Jussa? My concern is peace of our country. These people who burn Churches have been handled with kidgloves. We must not only condemn them but show them that it is unacceptable in any civil society.
rounding this to Jussa persona is totally rubbish
Trust me Zitto, I am not blubbing when I say you should send a message to Jussa. You know pefectly well his 'influence' in that part of the country is up there. You also know his views about Muungano, so let's not make a three course meal for a well known subject.
Now, as a politician, a very experienced politician, I would like to believe that you are very conversant about the different ways of communicating effectively: You can either communicate through people who command some sort of influence in thier communities, or you can give public statement and hope everyone will be 'touched' by it. You can ofcourse use both options but the first option (influence people) may bring in better results than just issueing a public statement.
So, when I say contact your friend Jussa, I know his status in his community and I am also looking at the most efffective way for your message to have an impact. The current situation in Zanzibar needs intervention beyond a 'statement'. Remember, there are people in Zanzibar right now living in great fear, fear of not knowing what will happen to them and thier properties. For them a statement isn't enough.
Your position Zitto in this (my view) is unique becuase you have a direct access to someone who is 'influential, someone who can calm down the situation and help formulate a way foward. I am saying this taking into account your earlier initiative to meet (Mzee Warioba & Dr Salim) during the muswada wa katiba fiasco. That 'direct contact worked, and I believe it can work for Zanzibar, at least for now.
