European Parliament resolution on Tanzania

[mng'ato]

Shukrani sana Mkuu sikuwa na masaibu yoyote yale zaidi ya MOD ambaye alibadili nilichoandika na kubadilisha maana ya ujumbe wangu nilioukusudia. MOD kama hapendi nilichoandika aingie dimbani tulumbane kwa nguvu ya hoja badala ya kubadili nilichoandika vile atakavyo yeye.

Aisee tumefurahi kuona uko poa mkuu,maana watu wasiojulikana ni balaa.

Khs ma mode wapotezee tu mkuu naona siku hizi wana stress sana.

 

[Sophist]

Umejitahidi kujibu, hongera japo mengine umeyaacha. Kwa mfano kuna statement moja kwenye hilo azimio la bunge la ulaya kulikoandikwa kuwa kuna mbunge mmoja wa Chadema ameuawa. Ni uongo mtupu, haya ni mambo ya ajabu sana.

Shukrani sana Mkuu 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Mahiga: Balozi wa EU nchini Tanzania hajafukuzwa, ameitwa

Inasemekana pressure ilimpanda baada ya James Delicious kukamatwa. Sasa sijui alikuwa anajuana naye? Hata dhamana inasemekana ilitoka kwa ``mfadhili´´.

The European Parliament Resolution on Tanzania (2018/2969(RSP)) is all about LGBTI people

In case you don't get it LGBTI stands for LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, TRANSGENDER & INTERSEX PEOPLE

Yaani kwa kiswahili Ni Maazimio ya Umoja wa Ulaya kwa Tanzania kuhusu WASAGAJI, MASHOGA, NGONO ZA JINSI MOJA, NA WATU WENYE MAUMBILE ZAIDI YA AINA MOJA

Daniel Sarungi
Mzalendo

Team, I have gone through the resolution and all it's references including the OHCR of November 2, 2018 the LGBT Toolkit, ACHPR and 'Cotonou Agreement (ACP-EU) which include Africa, Caribbean and Pacific Group of states and Tanzania signed it (only Cuba did not sign)

I have also gone through the newsfeed and Tanzania Constitution I have found the following;

The statements from the EU can be regarded as directions, commands or instructions that Tanzania MUST comply, but because they don't have such a power to a Sovereign state then automatically their instructions can be defined as a threat for Tanzania in exchange to relation among EU and Tanzania. In other hand it is clear that EU has Blackmailed Tanzania.

I have realise that EU have been filled with hatred and false information for the benefits of informers

Due to that I will respond to several agendas as follows:

1. Deteriorating political situation by shrinking the public space through tightening of restrictions on activities of Civil Society Organizations and Human rights defenders

My Response:
Firstly I would like to remind EU that Tanzania is still and will always be home/hub for Human right defenders from other countries to come and rest while proceeding with their peace of mind. We both know that.

All Civil Organisations in Tanzania have registered as per the rules and regulations of the country,

It happens many times when an organization is not doing what it was registered for, instead it is *operating its hidden agendas* to disrupt peace among the community with the umbrella of Human rights, Clearly that's illegal concern. It is our hope that these CSOs now start by helping the communities through access to facilities.

2. PAUL MAKONDA ends his provication against LGBTI

My response:
That was already responded by government on 4th November 2018

3. Independent Investigation

My response:
In EU when a police initially record an offense as HOMICIDE it remains CLASSIFIED to as many years as possible unless the Police or Courts decide that a lesser offense or no longer recorded.

In UK for example, the *year 2017 more than 719 deaths were recorded as Classified* (refer to crime and justice, at the Office for National Statistics)

And investigation can undertake even more than 10 years, we have seen the same with UK. What makes you think that Tanzania have failed to investigate such deaths?

In Tanzania, all cases are being investigated and have positive progress. Next time you should at least request an official update from the Court/Police regarding the status.

4. The Cotonou Agreement

My Response:

The Cotonou agreement signed in Cotonou for 20 years since 2000 - 2020 with a room to review every 5 years.

The agreement based on three pillars
1) Development Cooperation
2) Political Cooperation
3) Economic and trade cooperation (this ended 2007)

There is no any single place in agreement where explains or have mentioned LGBTI

5. Tanzania to repeal laws criminalising homosexuality

My Response
Apart from the technology impact and the age of new era, we as Tanzanians have our core values. The values and culture we believed in are still the same we believe in today.
*"Hatuwezi kuruhusu Ushoga kwenye Katiba"*
Homosexual is not a human right however LGBTI people deserve respect and equal rights, yes but allowing it openly to community that's not our culture.

7. Cyber crime act to Guarantee freedom

My response
*Freedom without law is a war*. Let me remind EU that there is freedom and there is insulting, one of them is not a Human Right. The Court will decide what's an insult and what's a freedom


8. President Magufuli's statement that Girls who give birth should not be allowed to return to school.

My Response:
You misquoted the President. Education is a human right. People get education in many ways.

The Government decided to pay school fees to all students in Government Schools so they can get their right to education.
When it comes any of them gets a pregnancy, she will not return to government school but she has a room for Private schools after giving birth, she cannot return to the same school due to psychological reasons. she can even join with Vocal Education and Training Authority (VETA). This is how it was since the earlier ages of this Nation.

9. Release Political Prisoners

My Response:
All people are equal before the law. Being an opposition doesn't give you an immunity when it comes to state laws.

Political Prisoners (as per EU), will be released as per laws and regulations of the country. The Judiciary is a separate entity and doesn't work under pressure.

The rule of law, once in the Court, the government cannot intervene

I'm wondering where the EU get that confidence to come up with such resolution, I conclude as bad Intel comes from those that they decide to aside with.

Regards

Ndugu yangu kisa cha kukinajisi Kiingereza kiasi hicho ni kipi hasa? Umeua ndege wawili kwa Jiwe moja in a wrong way. One, kama ulilenga waerevu wa Kiingereza wakuelewe basi umegonga mwamba. Two, umewatenga wasiojua lugha hiyo ya kigeni lakini umewaepusha na pumba uliziwasilisha kama hoja.

Nilipoona "Sarungi" nikamkumbuka Prof Sarungi na mwanae Maria, so I had high expectations from you. How wrong!

 

[sodoliki]

Hapo number 8,hawa EU ni bure kabisa!, Rais Magufuli ndiye aliyesema hasomeshi wenye mimba, sasa una call authority gani iingilie?.

Number 9 wanampangia kazi Rais Magufuli?!.

Number 10 kuna watu wameshitakiwa for political crimes or ni criminal issues.

Hawajui kuwa Magufuli hapangiwi?. Kama katiba alioapa kuilinda ameweka pembeni, who is EU?.

Naona hawa wazungu wanajifurahisha tuu, kama vipi wazuie tuu misaada yao na watunyime visas za Shengen, tutakwenda UK na China.

Tanzania ni sovereign state, tuna uhuru wa kujipangia mambo yetu kama hatutaki ushoga wasitupangie na kutulazimisha bali tufundishwe tuu managing diversity ya kuwakubali mashoga kama walemavu wengine wote, tusiwabague wala kuwanyanyapaa lakini kubadili sheria zetu bado sana.
P

Wewe piga kelele , lakini ukumbuke kukosa 40% ya budget ndugu zetu wengi watalala njaa, wewe na msukuma mwenzako mtakula tuu, lakini hali inazidi kuwa mbaya kwa wengine wote

 

[Pascal Mayalla]

1. Kwanini serikali inataja sharti moja tu la ushoga na kuacha masharti mengine yenye tija kama utawala bora, kufifia kwa demokrasia nchini, wanafunzi wanaopata mimba, sheria ya takwimu, kuzuia mikutano ya vyama vya siasa na ukiukwaji wa haki za binadamu?

Azimio lina hoja nyingi za serious concerns, unpochanganya nyuma safi na utumbo wa jana, kinachotoa harufu zaidi ni utumbo.
Hili la ushoga ni utumbo wa jana uliofunika steki ya Leo ya leo sheria ya takwimu, cyber law, democracy, right of expression etc.
It's advisable usichanganye samaki wote wa jana na leo kwenye tenga moja.
P

 

[ntemintale]

Bunge la Umoja wa Ulaya limetoa njia iitakayo kwa mustakabali wao juu ya uhusiano kati yao na Tanzania kutokana kile walichokiita kuongezeka kwa ukiukwaji wa haki za binaadamu Tanzania.

Azimio hilo limeeleza namna ambavyo hali ya kisiasa nchini Tanzania inavyokandamiza uhuru wa wananchi kutokana na sheria kali zilizopo dhidi ya asasi za kiraia, watetezi wa haki za binadamu, vyombo vya habari na vyama vya siasa na huku hofu kubwa ikitanda kwa wapenzi wa jinsia moja.

Bunge la kutetea mapunga

 

[Pascal Mayalla]

Wewe mtu ni empty head kabisa,hivi huwezi kuingia hata google upate elimu za uchumi?unadhani tukiwekewa embargo bibi yako kijijini ataishi vipi?,

Kumbe mwenzetu yule bibi yako kijijini anaishi kwa kutegemea EU?. Mimi bibi yangu anaishi kwa kutegemea natural foods mihogo, viazi, asali etc na kuvaa kaniki ya Mwatex. Nitajifunza uchumi Google ili nami nijue uchumi, bibi yangu kijijini aache kula mihogo na kuvaa kaniki, ale chocolates na kuvaa wax ya Nederlands.

Hivyo Tanzania tuendelee kuwategemea EU kwa maisha yetu yote na ya Bibi zetu vijijini.

Bunge la kutetea mapunga

Hao mapunga mnawaomba misaada ya maendeleo etiiii

 

[nyakubonga]

Kwani Canada ni mwanachama wa EU????

Mbona mfano wako hauna maana? Umejaa tu upepo na una comment out of context

duh mkuu hivi una akili hata kidogo?

Elimu yako imeshindwa kukusaidia kujua hawa watu ni wamoja japo hawakai bara moja?

ukitengwa na EU umetengwa na canada na marekani, hujui?

nikikwambia hadi leo malkia wa UK bado anaongoza Canada utanielewa?

huo ni mfano tu na usifikiri ukiwatetea EU watakupenda! wao wapo kwa maslahi yao hapa na ndio maana kipindi kikwete anawapiga kina Lipumba kwenye maandamano hawakuongea.

 

[nyakubonga]

Rudi shule kasome Philosophy

Tamko lina mambo mengi ya maana lakini mnajikita kwenye angle ya ushoga as if mengine mnayakubali!

Kumbukeni wanaoteswa wana ndugu wanaoumia pia

Tulia usome vizuri halafu nioneshe wapi nimeandika neno ushoga.

 

[Makosa]

Bunge la kutetea mapunga

"Upunga" ni sehemu ndogo sana ya tatizo ila mmechukulia kama ndio kisemeo.

Orodhesheni yote wanayowatuhumu.

"Upunga" ni sehemu ndogo sana ya tatizo ila mmechukulia kama ndio kisemeo.

Orodhesheni yote wanayowatuhumu.

Yako mengi sana wanayotuhumu. Lakini kuna kitu hutakiwi kukijua hivyo sie tutabaki kwenye kelele za LGBT na kuminywa kwa Demokrasia pekee.

 

[Pascal Mayalla]

sisemi magufuli ni dikteta hapana,ni raisi na wananchi tumemchagua sisi hasa mimi,ila kama kuna concern acha zisemwe,hata Hitler alikuwa anashangiliwa kabla ya kushtukia idadi ya watu waliokufa,hakuna binadamu anayestahili kufa kwasababu yoyote ile,yaani nadhangaa hapo unasema raisi kavunja katiba alafu bado kama una muunga mkono,hapa nadhani unamponda kijanja,unataka kuthibitisha raisi kavunja katiba,una uma na kupuliza,kama uko against na raisi njoo straight tujue,

Nyinyi ndio watu wenye uni direction vision, yaani mnaona upande mmoja tuu, kama Magufuli ni dikiteta basi ni mbaya kwenye kila kitu. Mimi ni mkweli, Magufuli ni dikiteta ila pia ana mazuri yake na hata udikiteta wake pia una mazuri yake hivyo ni dikiteta mzalendo. Japo nalaani udikiteta mbaya kama wa Hitler lakini naunga mkono udikiteta mzalendo, hivyo mtu anaweza kabisa kupinga Magufuli kwa udikiteta wa kuzuia mikutano ya kisiasa, na bado akamuunga mkono Magufuli kwenye udikiteta wa tumbua tumbua kwenye vita dhidi ya rushwa, ufisadi, uzembe na ubadhirifu.

Kuhusu hoja ya udikiteta wa Magufuli, nimeizungumza sana humu, nikiangazia udikiteta mzuri wa kuungwa mkono, udikiteta mbaya wa kulaaniwa.

Udikiteta ni Dhana Tuu or ni Real?. "Lets Call A Spade A Spade!"Dikiteta ni Mtu Mwenye Tabia Hizi!". - JamiiForums
Kauli huumba! Je, ni kweli Magufuli ni dikiteta? Kama ni kweli, ni kosa la nani kati yake na aliyetoa kauli hii? - JamiiForums
Magufuli ni Dikiteta!, Tanzania Ilihitaji Dikiteta, Tumempata!. Atakayeleta Fyoko, Ataisoma Namba! - JamiiForums
