TANZANIA'S true and amicable friends/neighbours are to the South

[KALABASH]

East African watchers will have noted interesting developments in this region. A week ago a mini summit of three East African Heads of States namely Museveni Kagame and Uhuru Kenyatta was held in Kampala. Conspicuously absent was Kikwete of Tanzania (Kabila and Nkurunzinza were also not present). Now the Tanzania foreign ministry confirms that as early as February this year invitations to "join in" when Obama visits Tz were sent to Heads of States of Kenya Uganda and Rwanda but as of yesterday- Wednesday, no confirmation of their attendance had been received. It is safe to assume that they will not be "joining in" .
Now: In true African tradition when you have an important visitor from far away lands in your house you would normally invite your neighbours to team up with you to welcome the visitor. If none of your neighbours turn up there is certainly something wrong somewhere.
Tanzania: Your true friends are to the South. Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe South Africa, DRC and (Malawi?) are countries with whom you have cordial relationship and they hold you in high esteem. There are too many uncertainities with your so called friends/neighbours in the present EAC.
Prove me wrong if you can!

Sijawahi kusikia au kuona Rais wa nchi A anatembelea nchi B halafu Rais wa nchi B anawakaribisha Marais wa nchi jirani.

I am not sure wakati alipokuja Clinton, Bush and Rais wa China tulikuwakaribisha hao majirani. Correct me if I'm wrong.

In fact, siioni ni kwa nini tuwakaribishe in the first place. Huu ni ugeni wa Rais wa Tanzania, siyo Marais wa nchi jirani.

We should regard ourselves as a nation and not as one of the bottles. Kama Obama akitaka anaweza kuwatembelea hao majirani pia.

Hivi Obama angetembelea Zambia na Rais wa Zambia akamwalika Rais wa Tanzania, kweli angeenda? Unless hiyo ziara iwe na connection na TAZARA.

 

[Mkwai]

Tutaendelea kupoteza muda na hisia za kufikirika kana kwamba tunakasoro, wakati huo wenzetu wanasonga mbele. Why don't we think positively and put efforts on our issues? Kwa nini kujishuku?

WRONG! When Bill Clinton visited Arusha Tanzania in September 2000 retired President Arap Moi jetted into Arusha to meet him.(Do some research please) Furthermore for reasons of costs(usd 100 million this current trip), logistics security etc etc the USA President can only visit one select country in a region/block. Like it or not the USA is the most powerfull nation for the time being. And please do not rush into calling me a USA a puppet. I am merely stating the obvious.

Your reply is completely out of context. Did you get the gist of the original thread? May be you could ask someone to translate it for you!

Different people have different interpretations of stupidity. The original thread is about TANZANIA'S TRUE FRIENDS/NEIGHBOURS ARE TO THE SOUTH! May I suggest you relate yourself to this heading!

This is a good idea. If TZ feels that she is more comfortable dealing with friends in the South and not the North, then why not? This way we will stop wasting each others time and focus on the real issues ahead.

Should've done it earlier!
Tanzanians don't want EAC. We prefer SADC.

This is an Idiom brother!. Just consult Bible in the book of Daniel and you will understand what i mean.

Mahusiano mazuri ya nchi sio personal friendship ya Raisi au individuals,ni History,policy,politics za nchi husika ndio will decide kama kuna urafiki na uhusiano mzuri,watu mnaweka personal feelings zenu na utani wa jadi hapa naona...grow up!

Exactly, this is why i say move on. Join SADC and stay there, stop attempting to put one foot in EAC and another in SADC.
