8th Sullivan Summit Arusha Tanzania

Safi sana kuwa na mipango mikubwa kama hii. Lakini mimi nina katatizo kadogo sana.... Pale AICC ya sasa nyuma yake ndipo yanajengwa majengo ya EAC...

Ile block tayari ipo congested na magari (insfrastructure) especially along the road to/fro Sanawari especially during rush hour. Kingine pale bwana hawa waheshimiwa hawana parking areas. Wana small areas dedicated to ICTR and wapangaji (very small you have to be a boss to get a dedicated spot) na kibaya zaidi ni wageni wote wanapaki along the road to Sanawari (again)....

Sasa jamani hatujui kuwa mipango mipya sio siting space tu pia tuangalie effect ya upanuzi kwenye day-to-day existence of all people in Arusha expecially miundombinu, services, environmental impact (sewage/garbage), employment nk!!

Bado sikubaliani na huu mpango mpaka wakubwa waseme ni vipi wame address hayo hapo juu.... Ndio maana tunaachwa na wenzetu wa West, wao wanapanga kila kitu in masterplan and kila atakaye develop lazima awe within the "Masterplan" sisi hapa kwetu tuna work/develop within "Respective pockets" na sio mipango ya jamii nzima... Tutafika kweli?? Jiulize hapo manake foleni za Dar (na sasa Arusha) hazitokani na magari mengi, bali ni mambo kama haya etiiii.......

WanaJambo wenzangu niwatakie Wikendi njema na yenye fanaka!!!
 
Soma hapo chini:

"The Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Leon H. Sullivan Foundation ambassador Andrew Young has presented this year's Sullivan Special award to President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete for his commitment and zeal to eradicate poverty in Tanzania and for his efforts in fostering peace in Africa with a vision to bring prosperity.
The president was awarded during the Fifth Sullivan Summit awards Dinner held in Washington DC last night.

The dinner is a platform to honour leaders in the global community that have made a significant difference in the areas of their work including self help,social responsibility,economic empowerment and human rights.
 
Well, guess who prospered? was it Masatu, Nyoka, Mushi, Itende or Laiser?

Nope! It was Barricks, RDC, IPTL, Dowans and now the AL Kassum Ndege ya Hijja!
 
Jamani hawa wamarekani (weusi na weupe) wanatuchora sana. Wameshamsoma Jk in 5 minutes (americans are shrewd!) na wameweza kujua ni mtu wa misifa na viwanja. Wanatuzuga sana! Wanamwita kila leo kwenye viparty na kuhakikisha he is wined and dined alafu wanafanya dili zao. Ndiyo akina Tudor James hao! Sasa kafanya nini Jk for Tanzania when all indicators shows that he is in trouble and Tanzania is in bigger trouble.

Agree with you. Andrew Young nadhani ni mmoja wa share holders pale BARRICKS kama sikosei. Nadhani hapa ni kumvisha JK kilemba cha ukoka.
Hivi, was it important for the president to go to the US to attend a fund raising dinner? Who is paying the expenses?
 
Kama wengi wetu tulivyosikia, kumekuwa na matayarisho makubwa ya kuandaa mkutano wa Leon H Sullivan summit inayofanyika kila baada ya miaka miwili in an African Country. MWaka 2008 itafanyika Tanzania na serikali yetu inajiandaa kuinvest money kukarabati AICC na mengineyo. Lakini mimi nilikuwa napenda kujua zaidi kuhusu wahusika. Kwenye website nimeona kwamba ni kitu cha heshima sana na viongozi wao wanaonekana kuwa na credibility espcially Andrew Young! Leon Sullivan mwenyewe ametunukiwa alot of awards (presidential etc)na hata Kofi Annan, Bush na wengine wamesifia kazi zake even after his death. Kwa kweli sina la kusema in that case.
But baada ya kupitia CV za Andrew Young na kiongozi Jeter ambaye ni President nimegundua wengi wao wako katika position in a company called GoodWorks International LLC (GWI Consulting)
Information yao ya kazi na mengineyo ni:

History
In 1996, three men with a capacity for vision joined forces to fill a particular set of needs faced by enterprising firms and emerging markets in Africa and the Caribbean. Businesses and governments recognized the untapped opportunities before them. But they lacked expert advisory services necessary for accelerating successful relationships and initiatives. Andrew Young, Carl Masters and Hamilton Jordan formed GoodWorks International, LLC to fill this void. The three are well equipped for the task. Their combined experience in international business, finance and politics--as well as strong contacts and relationships in the US, Africa and the Caribbean-have helped to turn theoretical possibilities into promising commercial ventures.

Alafu picha ni ile ya Andrew Young na Jeter.

Sasa hii mimi naona kama vile ile 'nobel cause' za Leon H. Sullivan imebadilishwa na kuwa sasa biashara ya baadhi ya wahusika, kwani hao ma decision makers n.k. wasingewapata as clients kama wasingekuwa katika Sullivan foundation.
Mi nauliza tu jamani, maana tumeshazoea kuendeshwa kama kichwa cha mwendawazimu. Isn't this a conflict of interest, especially since kazi zao zinaendana moja kw amoja na hiyo non-profit activity yao.
Who is the consultant for the Leon H. Sullivan summit to be held in Arusha? How much were they paid?
Andrew Young alikuja hapa last year tukaambiwa ni 'private visit' kisha tukasikia issue ya Leon H. Sullivan summit. I do not want to think what this implies but I am open kabisa kupewa maelezo zaidi.
 
Agree with you. Andrew Young nadhani ni mmoja wa share holders pale BARRICKS kama sikosei. Nadhani hapa ni kumvisha JK kilemba cha ukoka.

Dotori nimepata information zaidi kuhusu Leon H. Sullivan summit, please check my thread!

Please ask anyone from Sullivan foundation if they know anything about the sufferings of Tanzanians. I don't think you'll be able to get a concrete answer from them in regards to realities of life in Tanzania. In short they know NOTHING!
 
This Platform is a Pat-in-the-Back. Sisi binadamu tunahitaji hii pat wakati mmoja au mwingine wa maisha. Chukulia kama hii award: ya- mapipo hu made a significant difference in the areas of their work including self help,social responsibility,economic empowerment and human rights.
JK amebobea, na katika hiyo miaka miwili ndiyo atayojivunia,(historically) bado nane, we are yet to see! Maybe baada ya miaka miwili mingine atapewa award za Hollywood sijui category yake(commitment and zeal maybe),again we are yet to see!

Tulikuwa tunaongelea economic hitmen mi nikasema mtu kama JK anaweza asihitaji hata economic hitmen, anaweza kuvutwa kisaikolojia tu na kuhakikishiwa interests zake zinalindwa kwisha.This is exactly what I was talking about.
 
In a previous thread, JF member Dotori mentioned the Barrick connection with relation to Andrew Young hii hapa:
Ambassador Andrew Young serves as member of the Board of Directors of numerous businesses and organizations, including Archer Daniels Midland, Atlanta Market Center, Cox Communications, Delta Airlines, Film Fabricators, and Thomas Nelson Publishing. He serves on the Advisory Board of Argus Newspapers, Barrick Gold, The Martin Luther King Center for Nonviolent Social Change and The United Nations Foundation.
 
Jamani naendelea kutafuta information lakini mpaka sasa nina info ambayo inasikitisha! Kumbe we are puppets on a string! Huyu Andrew Young mpaka huko Marekani wamemshtukia si tunamkubatia. Ngojeni nikatafute infrmation nibandike baadaye, anyone else is welcome!
 
haya waliokuwepo huko tuambieni ilikuwaje? Was it worthy it? Kwa Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania na Amiri Jeshi Mkuu wa Majeshi ya Ulinzi, Usalama na Sungusungu./..
 
Hmm! Ok ngoja niendelee kufanya utafiti. But naona kama mchanga wa macho nyingine!
 
Soma link hii hapa kuhusu Barrik Gold na mauaji ya Kongo. Andrew Young, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton na watu wengine wakubwa hata huko Umoja wa Mataifa wamo.


Barrick Gold is one of the client companies of Andrew Young’s Goodworks International lobbying firm. Andrew Young is the former Mayor of Atlanta, and a key organizer of the U.S.-Uganda Friendship Council. Young was chosen by President Clinton to chair the Southern Africa Enterprise Development Fund in October 1994. Goodworks’ clients—or business partners in some cases—include Coke, Chevron-Texaco, Monsanto, and the governments of Angola and Nigeria (note weapons transfers from Nigeria cited below). Young is a director of Cox Communications and Archers Daniels Midland—the “supermarket to the world” and National Public Radio sponsor whose directors include Brian Mulroney (Barrick) and G. Allen Andreas, a member of the European Advisory Board of The Carlyle Group.

Barrick Gold’s mining partners have included Adastra Mining—formerly named America Mineral Fields (AMFI, AMX, other names), formerly based in Hope, Arkansas, Bill Clinton’s hometown. Adastra had close ties with Lazare Kaplan International Inc., the largest diamond brokerage firm in the U.S., whose president, Maurice Tempelsman, has been an advisor on African Affairs to the U.S. Government and has been the U.S. Honorary Consul General of the Congo since 1977 (8).



Kuhusu uhusiano wa Sullivan International na misifa kwa Kikwete si jambo la kushangaza. Hebu soma hapa maovu ya Mzee Andy Young kwa niaba ya Barrick Gold

One Atlanta native who has been paying close attention to Young is Cynthia McKinney, the former congresswoman from Georgia. "This is not the first time that Andy Young has associated with people of dubious repute," McKinney told the Black Agenda Report. "During the time when I came under severe attack for my September 11 comments, I was investigating allegations that Barrick Gold and its mining operations in Africa had buried 60 African petty gold miners. I had been given a photograph, and I had eyewitness testimony that this had taken place. Unfortunately, Barrick Gold had some of the most notorious people associated with it, and Andy Young was part that cabal. So, the financial arrangement that one enters into ... one has to be careful where you get your paycheck from. And certainly, if you're going to sit on the boards of companies like that, you ought to serve as a conscience, not just as an employee receiving a paycheck."

Taarifa nyingine iko hapa
The Honorable Andrew Young is Chairman of the Leon H. Sullivan Foundation, a non-profit organization established in 2002 to preserve and extend the legacy of Reverend Leon H. Sullivan through advocacy and fundraising. His extensive diverse career includes leadership in public service and private industry, including business, government, international affairs and human rights:

2000 to 2001: President of the National Council of Churches, USA
1997 to present: Chairman and Co-Founding Partner of GoodWorks International
1996: Co-Chair of the Atlanta Committee for the Centennial Olympic Games
1995: Chairman, Southern African Enterprise Development Fund (SAEDF) by appointment from President William Clinton
1982 to 1990: Mayor of the City of Atlanta
1977 to 1979: United States Ambassador to the United Nations
1973 to 1977: Member House of Representatives of the U. S. Congress
Ambassador Andrew Young has served as member of the Board of Directors of numerous businesses and organizations, including Archer Daniels Midland, Atlanta Market Center, Cox Communications, Delta Airlines, Film Fabricators, and Thomas Nelson Publishing. He has also served on the Advisory Board of Argus Newspapers, Barrick Gold, The Martin Luther King Center for Non-violent Social Change and The United Nations Foundation.

In the final days of the first Bush regime, the Interior Department adopted policies that enriched Barrick -- and cost U.S. taxpayers -- "a cool billion or so," according to Palast. In 1995, Barrick hired Bush I as "honorary senior adviser" -- but of course claimed there had been no deal. (When Bush the Younger became president in 2001, one of his first deeds was to dump rules on gold mining waste disposal -- which is likely to cause irreparable environmental harm. One of the biggest beneficiaries is, of course, Barrick.)

Barrick in 1999 acquired another Canadian mining company, Sutton Resources, which was seeking to grab land in Tanzania from small-time prospectors. In his book, Palast reports: "In August 1996, Sutton's bulldozers, backed by military police firing weapons, rolled across the goldfield, smashing down worker housing, crushing their mining equipment. ... About 50 miners were still in their mine shafts, buried alive."

Not good public relations.

Bush left Barrick in 1999 -- it was probably a risky affiliation as his son's campaign ramped up. Replacing Bush was Atlanta's own Andrew Young, who joined another of the city's favorite sons, Vernon Jordan. In an interview, Palast was brutal. "Andy Young is pocketing blood money from African gold." (Young did not return a detailed message asking about his relationship with Barrick.)

McKinney, meanwhile, chaired congressional hearings that had launched a probe of Barrick's activities in the Congo, where the firm was accused of, as Palast says, "stoking the civil war." McKinney was also fighting to protect the life of a whistleblower in the Tanzania episode.
 
Seems to me as if it was a christmas party in disguise.Jamani JK ndo ukache hata kwenda Lisbon kwa ajili ya kamnuso kama haka?? khaaa! Shame man.
 
Sasa hao usalama wa taifa wako wapi wakati rais anashirikishwa na Mafisadi? Tunafahamu huwezi kuwaendekeza hadi pale na wewe uwe moja wao.

Natumaini kabla ya huu mkutano tutaona mengi.
