European Parliament resolution on Tanzania

[Proved]

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

Huo wito waliotoa utabaki kwenye makaratasi tu hakuna litakalofanyika.

 

[Missile of the Nation]

Sikatai , vya maana vipo,ingawa vyootw vimesemewa baada ya Mr Zero brain kuwagusa GBLTI. Ukali huu ulikua wapi siku zote za miaka hii mitatu ambapo jiwe kafanya mengi ya hovyo?.
Hawa wana agenda ya siri

Huwa wanatafuta sababu za kuingia ili wapenyeze ajenda yao, Sasa usipokuwa makini utawapa sababu ya kuingia wewe mwenyewe kutokana na matendo yako, maana watakuja na hoja za demokracy, human rights, freedom of speech na mambo kibao!. Ila laiti kiongozi akiviheshimu hivyo vitu, huwa hawawezi kuingia kiurahisi maana Taifa zima linakuwa limeungana!

 

[shujaa mjinga]

Hili azimio litoshe kumfungua macho Jiwe, uhuru wa watu ungekuwa hauminywi haki za kidemokrasia zingekuwa hazisiginwi Taifa lingekuwa na umoja wa nguvu kuwalaani wazungu juu ya kutushinikiza kubadiri sheria za nchi kuhusu mambo ya ushoga. Lakini matendo yake ya ukandamizaji wa haki za msingi za kikatiba na kisiasa zilizoko kisheria yametuletea mgawanyo wa kitaifa kiasi kwamba watu wanawaona wazungu ni wakombozi badala ya yeye kiongozi wetu!.

Hili litoshe kumjulisha kuwa ipo siku Taifa litapata challenge inayotaka umoja wa kitaifa kulitatua lakini kwa kuwa watu wameminywa, wamegawanyika wanaona hata huo wito wa kuunganisha nguvu kwa ajili ya kupambana kwa pamoja kuondoa tatizo husika hauna maana!.

Fikiria kwa mfano Taifa liingie vitani na Malawi, huku wananchi wa kusini wanapigwa danadana kulipwa korosho zao, Huku watu wa kaskazini wakilalamika kutengwa, huku wapinzani wakiminywa hawapumui. HIYO COALITION YA KITAIFA ITAPATIKANAJE?

Wazungu huwa hawaingii kiurahisi katika nchi zenye umoja, bali watawala kwa matendo yao hutengeneza mazingira ya watu kuwaomba wazungu waje wasaidie bila hata kujali gharama!.
Sasa ona leo Wazungu wanatumia loophole za uminywaji wa haki za kiraia kupenyeza kiakili sana ajenda yao ya ushoga!, Laiti tungekuwa tumeungana, Taifa lina haki, Sote tungewashukia hawa jamaa kama mwewe!

KITU KIKUBWA CHA KUTISHIA USALAMA WA NCHI HUWA NI KUTOKUHESHIMU KATIBA NA SHERIA ZA NCHI, HATA MWALIMU ALILIITA JAMBO HILI KUWA NI NYUFA

Nimekuelewa sana na reference ya hayo kipindi cha jk haya mambo ya ushoga yaliletwa ila kwasababu tulikuwa na umoja tulipinga wote kwa nguvu moja ila hii hali ya mateso ya upande mmoja tunawaachia wapambane nalo

[MAGALEMWA]

Papaa Mobimba, What is the conclusion?? What is the resolution??

Wapo kwenye hatua ya awali ya mawasiliano rasmi. Kitakachofuata ni resolution, na mpango kazi. Vuta subira; nina hakika kibano ndicho kimetangazwa sasa. Ni mambo mengi sana ambayo yameifutia Tanzania sifa za ushirika na EU.

Pia nina hakika Jiwe halielewi kwa hiyo tutarajie kejeli na kauli za kukurupuka.

Waziri wake wa mambo ya nje na mambo ya kimataifa kilabu mingi sidhani kama atamshauri kama ipasavyo. Kaondoa wabobezi wa diplomasia kaweka maboya. Haya chacha

 

[Magonjwa Mtambuka]

Daaah! Poleni nyie mashabiki wa kisiasa

Sasa ndio umeongea nini?

 

[Waziri wa Kaskazini]

Kiswahili...

 

[MAGALEMWA]

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

Mkuu Tanzania si kisiwa wala si ya wanazengo peke yao. Ni sehemu ya jumuia ya kimataifa. Nina hakika atakusikiliza ukimshauri. Akikataa ina maana EU wana hoja.

[MAGALEMWA]

Asilimia 90% ya tamko ni kutetea useng.e tu (homosexuality). Yaani hizo issue nyingine ni visingizio tu. Useng.e wa kufilana Sie hatutaki.

Sasa mtajisukumia vidole? Usenge ni matatizo ya kijamii. Jiwe ana fursa ya kuituliza jamii hata isijiingize kwenye usenge. Kwani masenge wa Tanzania wewe unawajua? Wengine wanatatuliwa marinda na wafanya maamuzi.
