Chakwera must go. We do not need stupid ass in our country.

Unless he holds reconciliations with our dearly departed.

Old man Chakwera is not welcome in Tanzania

Huyu atabakia kuwa mfa maji mwanzo mwisho. Na maji yatakapozidi unga, atakuwa hana namna nyingine! Isipokuwa kukimbilia Oman kwa wajomba zake, kama njia pekee ya kunusuru maisha yake.

How can we sit down and negotiate with people who have consistently refused to take responsibility for their actions? How can we even consider reconciliation with those who have failed so completely to admit that their decisions—before and after the October Massacre—pushed our nation into one of its darkest hours, stained with the blood of its young men and women?


Do we really need a commission to determine what “really” happened? Why not begin with what we already know: hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people were killed across the country in what many believe—and all available evidence suggests—was politically motivated violence.


Samia, the declared President, has shown no sign of outrage, shock, or horror at the bloodshed across Tanzania. She continues to act and govern as if nothing is wrong. In fact, her appointment of a new cabinet suggests not only indifference but a complete lack of interest in uncovering the truth. Some of us believe she has chosen to remain deaf to the people’s cries, daring them to stop her if they believe they can.


What is most enraging is that many of the individuals who supervised the security organs during this period—the perpetrators of the massacre and those who backed them—remain in their government-provided homes, enjoying the comfort afforded to them by the Tanzanian people. No one has been summoned to account. No one has resigned in shame. No one has come forward to accept blame. Under Samia’s leadership, all of them continue to evade responsibility.


So how, while Tanzanians are still mourning, still crying, still reeling from the October Massacre, can we begin to talk about “investigation,” “reconciliation,” or “negotiation” without resignations? The very people who should be investigated remain in power—destroying evidence of their heinous crimes and atrocities. We continue to hear reports of powerful individuals and institutions attempting to hide, destroy, or manipulate the evidence of what truly happened.


I firmly believe there can be no negotiation or reconciliation without first removing from office all heads of security organs who were in charge of the security apparatus from October 29th to the present. This is the first and non-negotiable demand before anything else can move forward.


To be fair, Samia and Nchimbi must resign or step aside temporarily to allow for an independent investigation led by an international team of security experts and jurists of unquestionable integrity. Until that happens, any attempt by Samia or her government to whitewash the process should be categorically rejected and condemned.

I am not sure if I get the whole thing correctly. Please someone out there help me with the following questions:

1) Normally negotiations bring two well-known conflicting parties to the negotiation table. Who are those?

2) What exactly are we going to reconcile as of now as a country? Moreover, who is going to reconcile and in what capacity?

3) Walk me through here please, is the fall of the ruling party renconciliable and negotiable by members of other political parties?

4) What got us in the crisis in the first place? Outdated constitution, injustice or unfair electoral commission or enforced disappearances or all of the above? Is Chikwera coming to address these? Is the Samia investigation team going to have a look at these?

Again, I am not sure if I get the crisis correctly and how reconciliation and negotiation going to resolve.

We continue to hold these positions. As they (the ruling party) continue to ignore the ferocity of their actions against Tanzanians we on the other hand control ignore their claim to legitimacy.

 

[Mzee Mwanakijiji]

Accountability precedes reconciliation. One of the fundamental measures or marks of a true democracy is this idea that leaders are accountable to the people not to each other. On the other hand, one of the marks of despotic leadership is this idea that they are above the law and that they are not accountable to anyone. So, when someone calls for 'reconciliation' our answer is simple - where is the accountability?

[/QUOTE]
In this case, the government on one hand, and on the other the people (the youth, the opposition, those who have been marginalized, those who have lost their loved ones etc.

2) What exactly are we going to reconcile as of now as a country? Moreover, who is going to reconcile and in what capacity?

[/QUOTE]
This is an interesting question; but the reconciliation in this case demands certain understanding of the nature of the conflict - for me it is about the systematic marginalization and oppression of the opposition parties, candidates and supporters.

3) Walk me through here please, is the fall of the ruling party renconciliable and negotiable by members of other political parties?

[/QUOTE]
Not really; the reconciliation for some of us is only the minimal step (assuming the ruling party continue to exists). Otherwise, the best way to deal with the current state of affairs in the country is the total dissolution of the ruling party.

4) What got us in the crisis in the first place? Outdated constitution, injustice or unfair electoral commission or enforced disappearances or all of the above? Is Chikwera coming to address these? Is the Samia investigation team going to have a look at these?

[/QUOTE]
All of the above and then some!

Again, I am not sure if I get the crisis correctly and how reconciliation and negotiation going to resolve.

These won't resolve all the ills we have as a society; these will only be the first step in resolving our problems. We got to start somewhere and somehow.
