Six Tanzanian schoolchildren killed in 'grenade' explosion

Niksta254 · Mar 8, 2018

At least six children have been killed and 25 others injured in an explosion at a primary school in north-west Tanzania, witnesses say.

Reports say the pupils were playing with a grenade they had found.

Three were pronounced dead at the time they arrived at hospital. The others succumbed to their wounds, Rulenge hospital's doctor in charge, Sister Maria Goreth Fredricks, told the BBC.

The school is in Kagera region near the border with Burundi.

The BBC's Leonard Mubali in Tanzania reports that the region hosts refugees from neighbouring Burundi, some of them ex-soldiers, who could have abandoned their weapons in the area.

He says that the device that exploded is likely to be a grenade.

The haven for peace should delve deeper into such a matter, losing a kid is unfortunate and wouldn't wish it even to an enemy.

Wewe nyang'au acha kutoa pole zako za kinafiki. Habari ya mwaka jana ndio unajifanya kutoa pole leo?

Poleni wenzetu.

The proliferation of illegal weapons around the region is really a ticking time bomb

The weapons in Congo and somalia, have now permeated south Sudan Burundi northern Uganda and northern kenya. Now they are creeping in to Tanzania.

Ziwe za mwaka jana, juzi haijalishi, cha msingi ni kwamba sisi hatuna roho ngumu kama nyie ambao huchekelea kila tukishambuliwa na Mashababi, tunatoa pole kwa dhati na tukimaanisha. Sipendi kabisa mambo ya mabomu au mauaji, hata kwa adui yangu siwezi nikapenda imtokee.

Kwa unafiki tu hujambo. Tangu lini linyang'au likawa na roho ya huruma? Hii sijawahi kuona.

Ulaji wa albino na kuwaua watoto hao maskini wa ulemavu wa ngozi umeskia Kenya??? Roho ngumu za kishetani mnazo nyie sio sisi.
Hata tetemeko la ardhi la Kagera tulikuja kutoa msaada wakati nyie mlikausha...

Sasa mbona unaanza kutoka nje ya mada. Ulemavu wa ngozi, tetemeko la ardhi Kagera yana uhusiano gani na habari iliyopo mezani?

Yana uhusiano mkubwa sana. Wewe mwenyewe ulisema manyang'au hawana roho ya utu. Mk254 akakupa mifano ya nyinyi kula albino kuonyesha kwamba nyinyi pia ni manyang'au tu. Kisha akatoa mfano wa tetemeko la ardhi na jinsi Kenya ilikuwa ya kwanza kutoa msaada, kuonyesha kwamba Kenya si nyang'au kama unavyodhani wewe
