What is happening in our country is not a surprise as people might think. We only need to broaden our knowledge and understandings on current issues going on in our country. For those who like to read and not relying on gossiping and propagandizing, I urge you to read a lot on these issue of State organized crimes and then come up with a good conclusion without blaming any body.
There are various possibilities to what is happening in Arusha and i am glad many people in this forum has suggested the possibilities. Situations arise where the state authorities, police and perhaps the security services may develop relations with organised crime groups as part of its own covert operations. The criminologist William Chambliss identified what he called 'state-organized crime' as "acts committed by state or government officials in the pursuit of their job as representatives of the government".
In Chambliss' view governments often engage in such activities as arms or drugs smuggling, assassinations and even terrorist acts, in furtherance of their foreign policy objectives. Covert collaboration may be established with organised crime or even terrorist groups for these purposes.A major example in this area concerns collusion by state agencies with the drugs trade.
In the years following the second world war French counter-espionage financed part of its struggle against Vietnamese national liberation movement (in Vietnam which was at the time still a French colony known as Indo-China) through the sale of heroin. There is a considerable body of material emanating from the US on, for example, CIA involvement with organised crime groups.In Arusha, the same can happen. Who knows.
Remember the utterances from the CCM party officials in Arusha.
