HISTORIA: Jinsi Jina la "TANZANIA" lilivyobuniwa

[Mohamed Said]

Huyu jamaa Mohamed Saod aliwahi kuchochea chuki kwenye page Moja ya Wamanyema kwa kudai wamanyema ndio waliopigania uhuru wa Tanzania. Akawadanganya wasiokuwa kitu, acha wamanyema waje juu. Yani sisi ndio wenye nchi halafu tunadharauliwa. Ilikuwa shida sana.

Economist,
Hili mimi silijui.
Unaweza kuweka hapa huo mjadala?

Tufanye Tanzania iitwe hata Islamic State of Tanzania(IST), tunachotaka sisi ni maendeleo na umasikini uishe, sio hizi porojo zako za kulazimisha Tanzania kuwa nchi iliyoanzishwa na Waislamu.

Yoda,
Unaghadhibika bure ndugu yangu.

Mimi nilofanya ni kuandika historia ya wazee wangu walivyounda African Association 1929, Al Jamiatul Islammiya fi Tanganyika (Umoja wa Waislamu wa Tanganyika) 1933 na TANU 1954 wakapigania uhuru wa Tanganyika.

Hata kama hawa wazee wangu hawangekuwa Waislamu na wakafutwa katika historia ningeliandika historia yao.

Hii si porojo.
Hii ni historia ya watu niliowajua na wengine wakanijua.

Mzee Said, Tunatambua mchango wa wazee wako katika kuunda taifa la Tanzania lakini pia ni vyema ukafahamu historia ya Taifa hili imeandikwa pia na watu wengine wengi wakiwemo Wakristo, Wahindu na Wapagani.

Kila wakati kujaribu kutukumbusha jinsi wazee wako wa Kiislamu na Kariakoo walivyohusika kuunda Tanzania ni tatizo. Pia hata kama ni kweli wazee wako walipuuzwa basi mtuhumiwa namba moja ni CCM iliyojaa Waislamu pia, wanyooshe kidole hao na waseme moja kwa moja badala ya kuzungukazunguka.

Sisi wajukuu wako hatuhusiki kuitweza historia ya wazee wako, unatuonea tu bure ukitaka tuwape nafasi ya mbele zaidi hao wazee wako.

Historia hii imependwa sana kiasi nimepokea tuzo nne.
Nimehojiwa na vyombo vingi vya habari ndani na nje ya Tanzania.

Nimetajwa katika majarida mengi maarufu Cambridge Journal of African History mbali na kualikwa kwenye vyuo vikuu ndani na nje ya mipaka yetu.

Mimi simkumbushi mtu historia hii wala simlazimishi kunisoma.
Ikiwa wewe historia hii inakuumiza moyo ukiona post yangu ipite wima usiifungue.

Wewe ni makamo ya wanangu.
Wewe ukiwa na watoto hao ndiyo wajukuu zangu mimi.

Mimi ni mjukuu wa Salum Abdallah Popo ambae ni babu yangu aliyekuwa mmoja wa waasisi wa TANU Tabora 1954.

Kundi la Abdulwahid na Ally Sykes hawa mimi ni baba zangu kwako wewe hawa ndiyo babu zako.

 

[Lighton]

Jambo tunataka kujadili hapa ni kwa nini wanakataa kwa jina la Tanzania aliyelibuni ni Mohammed Iqbal Da... akiwa kijana mdogo wa miaka 18 akisoma shule ya sekondari hili ndio jambo ambalo sisi tujiulize kwa nini..."

• Jinsi Jina Lilivyotengenezwa:
  • "Anasema nilichukua karatasi kwanza nikaandika bismillahi rahman rahim... baada ya hapo nikaandika jina la Tanganyika kisha nikaandika jina la Zanzibar halafu nikaandika jina langu... na madhehebu ya dini yake ya Kiislamu Ahmadiah..."
  • "Nilichukua herufi tatu kutoka jina la Tanganyika yaani TAN... na Zanzibar akachukua ZAN... nikachukua herufi ya kwanza ya jina langu... ambayo ni herufi I kisha akachukua herufi ya kwanza ya dini yake yaani Ahmadia (A)... nikawa nimepata jina la Tanzania..."

Hilo swali la kuwa historia niliyoandika katika kitabu cha Abdul Sykes
haisomeshwi si mimi wa kujibu swali hilo.

Swali hili waulize wenye kutayarisha mtaala wa somo la historia.
Kuhusu kupuuzwa halikadhalika waulize wanaotayarisha mitaala.

Ila mimi nitakueleza kuwa baada ya kuandika kitabu cha Abdul Sykes
Oxford University Press, Nairobi walinitia katika mradi wa kuandika vitabu
vya historia kwa ajili ya shule za msingi kwa lugha ya Kiingereza ili vitumike
kwa kusomesha historia na Kiingereza.

Moja ya vitabu nilivyoandika ni hiki hapo chini:
