"The officer, and others, were beaten during the rally as they attempted to take video and audio recordings of speeches by the Cord luminaries." And people wonder why there was a heavy police presence at the Saba Saba rally. These clowns can't even conduct a party election and they criticized...

Total lies. CORD used tribal alliances previously to secure the top job. The fallout between ODM and Ruto's party had nothing to do with Kikuyus during the lead up to the 2013 General Elections. Odinga would be president today if he had played his cards correctly. Political alliances are like...

Knowing Raila, he'll turn 80 years old and will still be campaigning for the presidency if he hasn't had a chance as the sole leader in Kenya. There's nothing more dangerous in this world than a desperate politician. He has no qualms about turning Kenya into a war zone to accomplish his lifelong...

This isn't about pride, mwenzangu! It's about maximizing economic potential. JK is looking for an easier solution that's tempered with a communal EAC wealth sharing in terms of tourist dollars. To truly fulfill that endeavour, one must embrace the prospect of losing an economic deal from time...

What nonsense! President Uhuru is just going by what the majority of the UN members support. The UNGA supports a Palestinian independent state. If you had taken the time to read the UN's meeting minutes, you would have realized that the Palestinian statehood is supported by the majority of the...

It's been said, that when you're on top, enemies that previously disguised themselves as friends will eventually show their true colors. Kenya has nothing to worry about at the moment since it controls the region's economy. Kenya is a resilient country and will eventually rise to the occasion...

This is one of those times where abstaining from the vote is similar to saying no. The AU is never taken seriously by the global community because they think Africans don't have the resolve to follow through on any goal. They can't back down now and should file for exiting the ICC.

"Leading observers say the reevaluation of Kagame and his legacy is long overdue. Filip Reyntjens, a Belgian scholar whom many consider the world’s foremost expert on Rwanda, describes Kagame as “probably the worst war criminal in office today.” The timing of this article at a time when...

These days nothing can be ruled out. At the same token, it could also be a copycat move to instill fear within the masses by opportunistic criminals.

I still don't understand why all the drama about the EAC currently. The economic bloc collapsed in the 70's and the bilateral agreements withstood it. The EAC has to be a voluntary participation based on a country's economic policy. You agree to proposals that you feel will benefit your country...

Feel free to elaborate my friend. The issues are real and the solutions are hinged on policy.

^^^ If most Tanzanians think like you do, then I can see where the problem lies. The issue of land is just but one facet of the integration process. TZ's Ujamaa policy is the antithesis of the EAC capitalist protocols where for instance, a Kenyan Agri-business company looks to sign a long...

The same Zanzibar that circumvented the government and registered Iranian oil tankers under TZ flag to avoid the oil embargo? Nice try.

Uhuru is a "convict"? When did his trial start & end? Nobody has to make fun of Tanzania, people like you do it unsolicited.

"We are concerned about the fast tracking of the integration, land, employment and immigration these are the only aspects we do not agree on." Bwana Kikwete, what else is there? Those are the main sticking points of the EAC. This union has been crafted & molded for so many years for...
