Kikwete ameacha Wazanzibari wajitenge. Mnategemea Kikwete huyu huyu atetee maslahi ya Tanzania katika ziwa Nyasa?
I have my doubts.
Ya Zanzibar eti ni ya mungano Eee ya Malawi mpewe 50% miujiza tuisubiri
mkuu umenena vema...Air defence ya wamalawi inasimamiwa na wayahudi na mwaka huu january wamefunga military radar km kama 2 hv jirani na boda ya kalonga na walipitisha ndege za kivita maeneo ya Lituhi hadi Manda mwezi wa 2 tu hapo, wachunguzi wa mambo wanadai Malawi wamekuwa wanajiandaa kufanya vita na Tanzania kwa miaka zaidi ya 20 kwa kufanya yafuatayo
1. Wamemodernize jeshi lao hasa la anga kwa kuingia ubia na israel
2. Wamenunua tokea marekani boti za kivita 14 ambazo zinafanya patrol ziwa nyasa 24/7!
3. Wamefunga vituo vipya vya radar
Jamaa wanadai endapo Malawi watasonga kwa miguu basi entry position yao itakuwa mbeya hasa eneo la wilaya ya Ileje kutokana na hali ya milima ambayo inawapa unafuu wao.
Pia Malawi wameanza kudai kwa nguvu hilo ziwa sasa kukujua kuwa Tanzania inatatizo la viongozi wa ngazi za juu na pili Tz inataabika na matatizo yake ya ndani kama migomo, uchumi na miundombinu na siasa na mwisho ni migongano ya viongozi wakuu jeshini, polisi, tiss na serikalini
My Take:
Tanzania ya leo sio ya kuombea vita coz askari wetu, tiss na polis wapo kwa miaka mingi kuzuia vyama vya upinzani, kupiga wazenji, ma-dr na kupiga kwata pale taifa wamejisahau kufanya mambo yao ya msingi kwa muda mrefu msishangae jk akakimbilia uarabuni akatuacha wanyasa watunyoshe kama anakimbia migomo sembuse vita!
Ngoja nikamtoe bibi yangu Tukuyu
Kumbe wenye akili kama za Idd Amin wako wengi eeeh!.."We categorically put it to them [Tanzania] that as far as we are concerned, the entire lake belongs to Malawi," Patrick Kabambe, principal secretary in the ministry of foreign affairs, said in a statement.
"So our view is that there is no reason to stop the project," he added.
Wasomeni wamalawi wenyewe wako tayari kwa vita, Bofya hapo
