Tanzania 65th state in stability worldwide

Guardian on Sunday Correspondent
Tanzania has been ranked as 65th country in stability worldwide, in a ranking of fragility of governments and political systems, contained in the latest Failed State Index (FSI) report released on Thursday in Washington.

Other East African nations such Burundi, Kenya and Uganda featured badly in the report as their positions indicate that they are noticeably fragile.

The report compiled by a US non-governmental organization named Fund for Peace that sampled 178 countries in the world slotted Kenya at the 18th position followed by Burundi at the 21st position. Uganda was slotted at the 22nd spot while Rwanda has been placed at the 34th slot above the most failed states in the world.

Tanzania being slotted at the 65th position while Africa has the bulk of failed states around the world shows that it is among the top ten most stable countries in the continent.
Others in the list of top ten include Algeria, Tunisia, Namibia, Ghana, South Africa, Botswana, and Seychelles.

According to the report, Tanzania has maintained the position as it was ranked in the same spot in last year’s report, while Kenya improved by one position as last year it was ranked 17th. Burundi has also improved by one spot from ranking of 20 in the last report.

Countries branded as the most fragile states in the world are South Sudan, Somalia, Central African Republic, Congo DR and Sudan.

The report places a ‘Very High Alert’ (VHA) comment on their political and security conditions.

The least fragile country, according to the report, is Finland categorised as ‘very sustainable.’

Twelve countries have been categorized as ‘Sustainable’. They are Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, New Zealand, Luxembourg, Iceland, Ireland, Australia, Canada, Austria and Netherlands.

“The reasons for state weakness or failure are complex but not unpredictable,” the report reads in part.

Uganda Information Minister Ms Rosemary Namayanja spoke to the Saturday Monitor newspaper, dismissing the report saying the findings were “unfounded and myopic.”

“We certainly cannot compare ourselves to Finland which is very sustainable but we are not doing badly either,” Ms Namayanja was quoted by the newspaper.

“We have many countries coming to Uganda to learn from our practices, so against that regard you cannot say we are a fragile state,” the minister intoned.

The rankings are based on a country’s social, political, economic, poverty and military indices.

On social indicator issue analysed is demographic pressure which includes pressure on the population from disease and natural disasters, making it difficult for the government to protect citizens.

It may also demonstrate a lack of capacity for resolving pressures and instituting measures related to combating natural disasters, diseases, environmental pollution, food scarcity, malnutrition, water scarcity, population growth, mortality and the youth unemployment bulge.

Other social indicators are generation of refugees and pressure tied to population displacement. “This strains public services and has the potential to pose a security threat including displacement, diseases related to displacement, refugees size as portion of population and absorption capacity,” the report stated.

Other social indicators are group grievances that include discrimination, powerlessness, ethnic contentions, communal or sectarian grievances and religious violence, it said.

Emigration and brain drain are also part of strains in social indicators, where common migrations per size of population, along with human capital displacement by emigration of educated population are examined.

On economic indicators the focus is on uneven economic development when there are ethnic, religious or regional disparities, where the governing tends to be uneven in government commitment to the social contract.

Other economic factors are poverty and economic decline including income deficit, government debt, unemployment, purchasing power and inflation.

Under poverty and military indicators the focus is on state legitimacy, public services, human rights and the rule of law, whereas under state legitimacy the focus is on corruption, government effectiness, political participation and level of democracy.

Tied to these issues is the level of illicit economy, the drug trade, protests and demonstrations, power struggles and integrity of electral processes while under public service issues there is policing, crime, education provision, literacy, water and sanitation.

Infrastructure, quality and health care, telephone, internet access, energy relibiability and roads are also categorised in public service indicators.

Under human rights and the rule of law issues focused upon are press freedom, civil liberities, political expression, human trafficking, numbers of political prisoners, freedom of worhsip, along with prevalence of torture and executions, the report underlined.

Other political indicators are the habits of security apparatus, political groups and contentions in political parties and external intervention threats or realities.

The website of the Fund for Peace states that weak and failing states pose a challenge to the international community.

“In today’s world, with its highly globalized economy, information systems and interlaced security, pressures on one fragile state can have serious repercussions not only for that state and its people, but also for its neighbors and other states halfway across the globe,” it emphasized.

- Kipindi cha Nyerere mlikua dhabiti na wazalendo, lakini sasa mnatajika kwa mambo ya kiajabu ajabu, hebu nenda uwanja wowote wa ndege wa kimataifa halafu utumie paspoti yako ya Tanzania, utajua ninacho maanisha.
- Sisi tulikua dhabiti kipindi cha chama kimoja, na tulipo-dare kubadilisha, tamaa za uongozi zikawakumba viongozi wetu na kusababisha ukabila wa hali ya juu.
- Labda naweza kuwapa Wakenya hongera kwa maana tumepitia mengi na pamoja tunaendelea kushinda, katiba tumetengeneza nzuri zaidi ya zote Afrika.

Wadanganye rafiki zako wa Kibera, Kenya siku zote mtaendelea kutumiwa na Waingereza kama toilet paper, yaani in your own country wanawaua kama tumbili then unakuja hapa na kutubeza. Kama kweli nyie mko mbali unafuata nini kwenye jukwaa hili? That alone shows we are far advanced than your country.

Sikuelewi kabisa wewe, kama wewe sio mtanzania umejuaje kama Passport za TZ zina matatizo? Lakini hata hivyo kama zina matatizo sie watanzania tunasafirije? acha kuongea story za vijiweni. Sidhani kama kwa dunia ilivyokaa sasa hivi kuna wakenya au watanzania au waganda ambao wanaachwa kuingia bila kukaguliwa. Kama una mfano mmoja wa mtanzania aliyesumbuliwa kutokana na kutumia passport ya kitanzania basi hujaona watu walioheshimika kwa sababu tu wanatumia passport za TZ.
Halafu hutakiwi kuwapa hongera wakenya maana wametuonesha picha mbaya, tofauti ya kenya na rwanda ni idadi ya waliokufa lakini yote ni mauaji ya halaiki na tena ya kikabila. Wape hongera wamalawi, waghana na wazambia ndio mifano ya kuigwa. Halafu sijui unatumia kigezo gani kupima uzalendo yaani unadhani TZ ni nchi ya kugawanyika namna hiyo? Kipindi cha nyerere tulikuwa wadhaifu kuliko sasa hivi maana tulitegemea uzalendo tu lakini kwasasa tuna vitu vingi sana vinavyojustfy nguvu zetu. Sasa hivi tumekuwa imara zaidi usidanganyike na siasa za ccm na chadema ile ni kama draft tu lakini nchi ni kitu kingine.

Ulaya gani unayoisema? Mie sasa hivi niko Ujerumani nchi ambayo vyombo vyake vya ulinzi ndio makini ktk bara la ulaya na ni mtanzania. hapo immigration nilienda na jamaa zangu kutoka Columbia, Iraq, Nigeria, Ivory coast na Philippines, kwanza mie nilitakiwa kusubmit docs saba wale wenzangu wakatakiwa kusubmit docs nane moja ikiwa ni kuthibitisha kama hawajawahi kushiriki ktk vikundi vya kigaidi au kufanya kazi ktk mashamba ya madawa ya kulevya. Na hivi ninavyoandika nina appointment ya kwenda kuchukua residency permit wakati hao jamaa zangu hawajapata hata extension ya visa waliyonayo. Kwa mtu ambaye kweli anasema ukweli na anayafahamu uhalisia wa ulaya hawezi kuiweka passport ya TZ kama doc ya kustukiwa kuliko ile ya wakenya japo inayostukiwa zaidi ni ya kinigeria.

Kwa taarifa yako nyie wakenya ndio mnaokaguliwa sana airport. habari za insecurity na uozo wa jamii yenu iliyotafunwa na ukabila nani asiyezijua? kila kukicha mabomu hapa kule hadi nchi za USA na UK ikabidi ziondoe wananchi wao.
Secondly, ukabila ulikuwepo Kenya tangu enzi za mzee wa nyayo! Tanzania hata tukibadilisha vyama haiwezekani sisi kuwa na vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe kwa sababu hakuna kitu cha kututenganisha. Na nyie waTZ humu mnaosema 2015 blablabla acheni pumba zenu hapa! kwa nini waTZ hatujiamini jamani? ndio maana hata EAC tunasitasita wakati sisi sote maskini hapa Afrika Mashariki. Kenya na TZ zote ligi moja (Kenya GDP-PPP ni $75.0 billion ranked 82nd. Tz GDP-PPP ni $73.2 billion ranked 83rd). The good news is Tz is a more stable state that is growing far faster than Kenya. Anyways, Nchi tajiri Afrika ziko North, West na South Afrika. East na Central Afrika sisi mambumbumbu!
