East Africa set to discuss joint military force

[JokaKuu]

Leo naona umejitahidi kuongea kiufasaha... Lakini vilevile bado haujajibu swali la mkenya, yeye kakuuliza hayo majigambo yote mmbona hamkuweza kwenda kuwadhibiti kina jMali kipindi kile walipo kuwa wakiteketeza jamii? Kama suala ni kuhusu kupokea wakimbizi basi hata Kenya inastahiri sifa kwani tokea zamani imekuwa ikipokea wasomali na wengine wengi kutoka mataifa mengineyo... Kwa kifupi mpaka dakika naona tukubaliane ya kwamba RPF inastahiri tuzo lisilo na kifani kwa kuwatuliza wauwaji kina jMali ndani ya miezi 3 na vilevile nijambo ambalo halijawahi kufanywa na yeyote yule duniani ukizingatia mda walioutumia kuwatuliza.

..hili suala Raisi wetu, Mzee Ali Hassan Mwinyi, aliwahi kulitolea maelezo.

..hii ni baada ya Mwalimu Nyerere kuishutumu serikali ya Tz kwa kutokuchukua hatua kuzuia mauaji kule Rwanda.

..Mzee Mwinyi alieleza nafasi yetu kama msuluhishi wa mgogoro wa Rwanda wakati ule ilikuwa inatubana tusiingilie kusaidia upande wowote.

..Vilevile alieleza kwamba jinsi mauaji yale yalivyoanza haikuwa rahisi kutofautisha kwamba yalikuwa mapigano ya wenyewe-kwa-wenyewe au ilikuwa ni genocide.

..suala lingine ni kwamba vyombo vyetu vilijielekeza ktk kushughulika na refugee crisis iliyotokana na mapigano/mauaji yaliyokuwa yakiendelea Rwanda. Ukumbuke kwamba mafuriko yale ya wakimbizi yalikuwa ni tukio la kipekee kupata kutokea ktk eneo lolote dunia.

NB:

..sasa ukirudi kwa hawa wenzetu Kenya, hivi wana sababu gani haswa ya kuulea mgogoro wa Somalia kwa miaka 20++?

..Pia kuna wakati Kenya walikuwa wanatamba kwamba wao wako business savvy kwa kuruhusu somali pirates wawekeze ransom money ktk real estate development in Nairobi.

..Zaidi Kenya imekuwa ikilaumiwa kwa kutotoa ushirikiano ktk kuwakamata key suspects wa genocide ya Rwanda.

Ukiona Kenya anaanzisha kitu kinaitwa Joint, ujue kuna sehemu hawapawezi ndo maana wanataka wafaidike kwa mgongo wa wenyewe. Somalia wamepashindwa, wanataka wasaidiwe kwa mgongo wa joint military force ya EA[/QUOTE

Lafdhi ya kijinga sana...nyie watanzania..."wamepashindwa"....kweli?

JokaKuu Somalia tumeaanza kuishulikia tangu zamani sana, ungekua na nia ungefuatilia kwa makini jinsi hao watu wametegemea mgongo wetu kwa huo muda wote. Sina haja ya kuorodhesha yote hapa maana wewe ni yule yule hata aje malaika hutobadilisha mawazo yako.

Lakini nachokuambia, muendelee kuficha vichwa kwenye mchanga wakati hadi hata warembo kutokea Tanzania wanajiunga na hivi vikundi. Nimesoma sehemu jamaa huko Tanzania wamekua na ujasiri ya kuwaua polisi wawili na kuingia mbugani. Vijana wanapokosa ajira na kujiunga na hivi vikundi wanapata mafunzo halafu wanafurushwa huko Somalia, na kutorokea kwao Tanzania, hapo ndio hatari inakua. hebu ona mrembo kama huyu Mtanzania tena msomi alikosa nini hadi akaamua kuwafuata jamaa.

Kwahili nakubali tunatatizo zanzibar. nimeshangaa wazaziwake wakilalamika kuwa hawakutegemea mtotowao kufanya hivyo wakati wamempeleka mtoto Sudani. kama mzazi wangu angenipeleka college Sudani ningemkana

East African countries will meet on Monday, in Nairobi, to discuss the way forward for a joint regional military response to conflicts in the region.

Top on the agenda is how to fast-track the Eastern Africa Standby Force (EASF) to respond to conflict, as opposed to the current situation where a single country can choose to send troops to another.

Recently, Uganda unilaterally deployed forces in South Sudan raising questions of impartiality. Kenya and Ethiopia chose not to deploy their troops.

The contributing countries are Burundi, Comoros, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Seychelles, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda. Each country is supposed to set aside about 450 specially trained troops for rapid deployment.

In his address at the 22nd African Union (AU) summit in Addis Ababa early this month, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta said the region urgently needs a rapid response force.

The question most observers are asking is whether the meeting of policy organs, from February 10 to 15, will come up with a clear road map on how to uniformly respond to conflict in the region.

EASF director Maj Gen (Rtd) Cyrille Ndayirukiye said the force is likely to be fully operational by 2015. He said that EASF has conducted exercises to test its preparedness, and the meeting will identify gaps and the mechanisms to address them.

Kenya’s Defence Cabinet Secretary Raychelle Omamo said that despite the urgency expressed by the President, Kenya is working under the EASF framework.

Kenya is the current chair of the bureau at the levels of the assembly of Heads of state, the Chief of Defence Staff and the Cabinet Secretary of Defence and Security.

It is on this basis that Kenya has come under pressure from regional countries to deploy troops to South Sudan, but Nairobi has opted to remain neutral.

At the AU summit President Kenyatta conceded that development partners have come in handy over the years, but to continue relying on outside help for the region’s security undermines their acclaimed independence.

The EASF is a regional organisation whose mandate is to enhance peace and security in East Africa. It is one of five regional multidimensional forces of the African Standby Force with military, police and civilian components.

EASF was established as a regional mechanism to provide capability for rapid deployment of forces to carry out preventive deployment, rapid intervention, and peace support and enforcement.

Which country is East Africa? Even in Europe now they refer Kenya as East Africa, they will never write an artical and relate Tanzania as East Africa. We are not stupid and we will not tolerate insanity.

It has taken the Nyang’aus a generation to understand that they are not free, when we were helping Southern African countries to liberate themselves they were enjoying dinner with the British and Americans to sabotage our efforts. They totally sided with the West (enemy), but now because they have been caught napping, they still think and believe Tanzania will be willing to help them. Roll back 1977 they decided to end the EAC, to their benefit until today KQ is reaping the rewards of former East African Airways .... .. etc etc … …. only last month they decided to bar Tanzanian vehicles collecting relatives, friends and tourists from Jomo Kenyata Airport. What do they take us for, fools, poor uneducated backward people?
When it comes to give them food and shelter, they appreciate, but never at any time they will be willing to cooperate on equal terms. To hell with them and I will be surprised to see our dear Dhaifu if at all he will join them in this nonsense. The coalition of the willing should sort out their mess. We have more hard pressing issues of our people who had been denied support from their government for many a year, it’s time for the government to use all resources available to solve the internal problems of our people. They pay tax and deserve better.
