Uhusiano uliokuwa wa kujificha ficha kati ya Tanzania na Urusi, sasa unaanza kuonekana wazi. Sera za manyanyaso, unyonyaji na ukiritimba za magharibi zinafikia ukingoni.

Umuhimu wa Tanzania kimataifa unaanza kurejea kama zamani. Kwa wale waliokuwa wakiamini kusitishwa kwa misaada ya MCC ndio mwisho wa maendeleo ya Tanzania, imekula kwao.!!

 

[Sexer]

kunyonywa kuko palepale, huku US ananyonya, pale china ananyonya, kule ulaya inanyonya na sasa Russia anyonye kwa pale. duh lazima tukonde zaidi

 

[The hammer]

Huu ukoloni hakika utarudi kwa nguvu sana hasa Africa na baadae inaweza ikaleta migongano ya kimaslahi kwa hao wakubwa na minyukano ikaanza.Just what I see.

 

[MK254]

Kula pande zote mbili, usijifanye kumwacha Marekani eti ukwende Urusi, jifunze unyang'au wa kutafuna yote na kote. Biashara ni unyang'au, hamna cha urafiki, uadui, ukaka wala udada bali maslahi. Vutia kwako nivutie kwangu.

Hii ya kongomano na Mrusi vipi, sisi manyang'au lazima tuingize pua, kawaida huwa hatubaki nyuma kwenye mambo kama haya na tunahakikisha tumechangamkia fursa hadi kieleweke.
Sasa hivi tunaandaa mkutano mkubwa na Japan ambao utakua na wajumbe 6,000 na marais kadhaa.

Nchi zote duniani zinaangalia maslahi yake kwanza hakuna urafiki wa hivi. unafkiri russia watakuja Tanzania bila ya kua na maslahi yoyote?

Na je unaweza kunitajia ni sera gani za magharibi ambazo zinai nyonya Tanzania? ? Au Kutoa misaada siku hizi ndo kunyonya?

Achana na story za vijiweni, nchi yetu inatafunwa na mafisadi sisi tumekaa kulaumu nchi za magharibi.

Nchi zote duniani zinaangalia maslahi yake kwanza hakuna urafiki wa hivi.

Mahusiano ya Tanzania na Urusi yalianza tangu Tanzania ilipoamua kufuata sera za kijamaa na kikomunisti na matokeo mazuri kabisa ilikuwa ni kuanzishwa kwa Azimio la Arusha.

Uhusiano ulipungua baada ya kuanguka kwa Urusi ya zamani mwishoni mwa miaka ya 1989's.

unafkiri russia watakuja Tanzania bila ya kua na maslahi yoyote?

Maslahi lazima yawepo kwa pande zote mbili.

Na je unaweza kunitajia ni sera gani za magharibi ambazo zinai nyonya Tanzania? ? Au Kutoa misaada siku hizi ndo kunyonya? Achana na story za vijiweni, nchi yetu inatafunwa na mafisadi sisi tumekaa kulaumu nchi za magharibi.

Mwaka 2003 katika mkutano wa baraza kuu la WTO, Burkina Faso ilizungumza kwa niaba ya nchi za kiafrika zinazozalisha pamba kwa wingi ikiwemo Tanzania.

Walilamika kwa jinsi uchumi wao ulivyokuwa ukididimia kutokana na sera za Amerika ya kutoa ruzuku kwa wakulima wake wa pamba.

Bei ya pamba ilishuka kwa 10% kutokana na ruzuku hii ya Amerika.

Bei ikianguka kwa 10% katika soko la dunia, maana mkulima wetu wa Mwanza, Tabora, Geita, Simiyu na Shinyanga anapungukiwa kwa zaidi ya 20%.

Matokeo yake mkulima anaachana na kilimo cha pamba na serikali inapoteza mapato kutokana na zao hili.

Hili halikuwa tatizo la mwaka 2003 tu bali linaendelea hadi leo. Katika mkutano wa WTO nchini Kenya, Burkina Faso na nchi nyingine zilirudia tena madai yao na mara nyingine Amerika ikakataa kuondoa ruzuku kwa wakulima wake wa pamba.

Jaribu kupitia mrejesho wa vikao vilivyofanyika mwaka jana Disemba, video ziko nyingi sana ukizihitaji kwa manufaa yako.

​

Kulikuwa na malumbano makali sana, baina ya nchi za magharibi [tajiri] na nchi masikini. Ilibidi mkutano urefushwe kwa siku moja zaidi.

Hii inaonyesha ni jinsi gani mfumo wa kimagharibi unavyoathiri maendeleo ya nchi masikini ikiwemo Tanzania.

Urusi na Uchina zinatoa fursa kwa nchi zote dunia kujumuika katika biashara, hasa baada ya kuanzisha benki ya AIIB. Hii itasaidia kwa nchi binafsi kuangalia ni sehemu gani kuna maslahi mazuri.

Mifano iko mingi sana, ukihitaji nakupa mingine.

Tanzania tutasonga mbele hata bila ya msaada wa mtu yeyote kwenye dunia hii.

Tanzania sio kisiwa kana kwamba hatuwezi kufanya biashara na sehemu yoyote. Lazima tufungue mipaka kuruhusu wawekezaji wenye tija na sera nzuri.

Thanks Maziku Masunga Jr. ,
Russia is very welcome; we are a neutral state by the way.
And i think if Russia wants to invest in Tanzania it should be in the energy sector, these guys can help boost energy production.
But what bothers me is our Lackadaisical Investment Policy.
We can have the whole world invest in Tanzania and yet fail to put quarter of the population under enough light.
A firm investment policy must draw a road map for all the major schemes in Tanzania.

So sad but we have intelligent president, I like the way he has decided to do in this country. If he is unable to catalog his plan, our country is doomed to fail.

Why Europe and America, but not Russia.?? Because the entire continent of Africa has been raped, plundered and ravaged by Americans and Europeans.

You cannot have an honest discussion about the conditions here without placing it in its accurate historical context, no more than you can talk about the dysfunction of a rape victim without considering the effect of her rapist had upon her.

Did you observe negative issues of Russia in relation to Africa.??

The only time western want to discuss issues removed from its historical context is when it involves their egregious conduct as it relates to their people.

Western are depicted negatively because their history of involvement with this continent is negative.

Now let's see if you can answer the questions I posed to you instead of trying to deflect them with another set of bunches.

These children showed American Rapper Jay Z the six miles they have to walk to get drinkable water for their families everyday. Jay Z then spent millions of dollars to build a pipeline and well which supplies 3 different villages to this day. And this was 11 years ago.Kudos to a brother!

Teh Teh Teh American Hip Hop Superstar.!! Your comment is funny...

Cough Cough Cough, sorry for coughing by the way your comment is not surprising at all. It is a typical comment from a brainwashed westerner.

What are you intend to say, can you explain a little bit.??

Today Tanzania can choose to get the best deal between the west organs and the BRICS or the east organs.

They cannot give shit deal to Tanzania anymore.
