Uchochezi wa Mohamed Said na dhihaka kwa Wapigania Uhuru wa Tanganyika na Zanzibar

[Ritz]

Ritz,
Katika miaka ya 1960 Abdu Sykes alimpangisha nyumba yake
Issa Nassor Ismaily aliyekuja kuandika kitabu "Kinyang'anyiro
cha Zanzibar."

Siku moja Sheikh Issa alimuuliza Abdu Sykes ilikuwaje hata
yakatokea yalotokea?

Abdu alimsihi Sheikh Issa kuwa wasizungumze habari za Zanzibar
kwani zinaweza kuvunja udugu wao.

Toka siku ile Abdu na Sheikh Issa hawakupata tena kurejea habari
zile hadi Abdu alipokufa na Sheikh Issa si muda mrefu akahamia
Oman.

Ndipo ninaposema kuwa ndugu zetu wanasoma historia sisi tumeishi
ndani ya historia.

Kwa miaka mingi nimefahamiana na Sheikh Issa na nimemtembelea
kwake Mascut.

Mohamed Said,

Unachosema ni kweli kabisa mimi takupa kisa kimoja wala hakina muda mrefu.

Pale Msikiti wa Kichangani Magomeni kulikuwa na mzee mmoja walikuwa wanamuita makoti amefariki mwezi uliyopita makazi yake yalikuwa hapo hapo Msikitini.

Kipindi cha mwisho wakati mgonjwa kuna kauli alikuwa anazitoa anaelezea unyama waliokuwa wanaufanya Zanzibar wakati wa mapinduzi huwezi amini yule mzee watu wengi walimchukia hata wale waliokuwa wanamsaidia.

Yule mzee alikuwa ni Mmakonde walitokea Tanga kwenda Zanzibar.

Bora yule mzee angekaa kimya wala watu wasingejua.

 

[Yericko Nyerere]

Yericko,
Mwaka 2011 nilishiriki kipindi "Meza ya Duara" cha
Sauti ya Ujerumani.

Pamoja na mie alikuwa Ahmed Rajab akizungumza
kutoka London, Dk Ghassany kutoka Washington,
Salehe Feruzi wa CCM kutoka Zanzibar na mie
nikizungumza kutoka Ngamiani Tanga mwenyekiti
wa mazungumzo alikuwa Othman Miraj.

Ufupi wa maneno ni kuwa nilipopambana na Feruzi
kuhusu askari mamluki na taarifa nyingine alikuwa hana la
kusema.

Kuhusu mauaji baada ya mapinduzi, hana mchango, kuhusu
wananchi kuipenda serikali yao akajibu wanaipenda,

Nikamuuliza kama ni hivyo kwanini CCM Zanzibar wanaogopa
uchaguzi...

Wanaiba kura...

Hakuniweza nikawa nimemshinda.

Kipindi kilipokwenda hewani wengi walipiga simu Sauti ya
Ujerumani kutaka kunifahamu zaidi.

Matokeo yake nikaalikwa Zentrum Moderner Orient (ZMO)
Berlin kwa kuhadhir na kuandika paper niwaachie maktaba yao.

Haahaaa ooooho safi sana,

Nimefurahi sana kusikia kuwa safari yako Berlin ilianzia Tanga,

Huenda hii ndio ulikuwa mwanzo wakuzuru mataifa!

Mimi safari yangu ya WTC na Pentagon ilianzia ITV pale chini ya Godwin Gondwe,

Nakumbuka vema ilikua nia jioni nikamfuata Dada Sauda Simba Kilumanga na kumwelezea kile nilichonacho na akanifikisha kwa Gondwe,

Kisha Mr Gondwe akaniambie nifike saa 10 alfajiri tayari kwa kipindi "live" kinachochukua saa moja,

Ilikuwa ni siku ya maadhimisho ya mashambulizi ya Pentagon!

Baada ya kipindi kile ndipo safari za magharibi zilipojongea hadi Pentagon na WTC!

Yericko Nyerere,

Siku zote mtu muongo kazi sana kuwa na kumbukumbu.

Wewe juzi tu umetuambia Marekani walikupa mualiko baada ya kuandika kitabu chako cha ugaidi.

Leo tena umekuja na habari mpya za ITV sijui hicho kipindi ulikuwa unaongea nini wakati kwa mujibu wa maelezo wako kitabu chako bado hakijatoka kipo ubalozi wa Marekani.

Kumbuka leo mwezi wa tano unakatika ulisema humu ukimbini kuwa utaenda TBC kuchukuwa hotuba ya Nyerere inauzwa.

Yericko unatuchanganya ndugu yangu.

Ritz unamatatizo sana ya kuelewa!

Hivi kufanya mahojiano na kituo cha runinga ni lazima kitabu kiwe tayari kimechapwa?

Sasa nakujuza upya kuwa nilifanya hahojiano na ITV nikiwa na mswaada wa kitabu hicho, hata Ubalozi waliniona kupitia ITV ndipo wakanifuata na ushirikiano wetu ukanza hadi mwaliko wa Pentagon!

Soma vizuri maandishi yangu hapo juu ndugu yangu!

Kinachonishangaza nikuwa Ritz wewe ni mmoja wa wakongwe hapa jf, lakini uwezo wakung'amua mambo haupandi wala haupungui!

Yani Ritz yule wa mwanzo ni yule yule wa leo!

Jamani tuwe waungana tuitendee haki jf, tutumie maarifa yatokayo hapa kwakukuza fikra zetu sio kila siku upo vilevile!

you're absolutely right

 

[Mohamed Said]

Hapana mkuu,

Mimi nikimsoma Dr Ghassany kimantiki hana tofauti na wewe,

Kimsingi nyinyi wawili mnatofautiana kidogo sana na Ahamed Rajab katika mtazamo wa Zanzibar na Tanganyika,

Lakini nyote mnakuwa chungu kimoja mnapolifikia jina la Julius Nyerere na John Okello,

Mnawachukia sana, mnalaani hata kufikia mioyoni mwenu kusema kwanini walizaliwa watu hawa hapa duniani??

Kimsingi mnapingana na Muumba, ndio mnapingana, kwani yeye ndie kwa mkono wake kawajaza ujasiri na wakathubutu na kufanikiwa kutukomboa Watanganyika na Wazanzibar!

Yericko,
Hujui kitu.

Hujawa na makamo ya kuandika ukasomwa.
Hapo chini ni mimi namzungumza Ali Nabwa:

''But strange never at any one time did he mention to me that he had just been released from prison. I only came to know about that many years later when I met Jim Bailey and he handed me a manuscript ‘Tanzania the Story of Julius Nyerere.' I met Jim Bailey in early 1990s.

Jim Bailey was the proprietor and executive editor of ‘Drum' a photo-journalistic magazine published in South Africa and distributed in almost all English speaking African colonies. Drum was a very popular magazine. Its popularity only waned after most of African countries gained their independence and the new leadership in Africa seemed to be enjoying founding fault with the publication.

Drum was banned in many African countries for various reasons, from publishing nude pictures (scanty dressed girls) to not observing the right etiquettes when reporting ‘sensitive' government matters. I was introduced to Jim Bailey by Ally Sykes.

Jim Bailey had a manuscript and wanted someone to go through it and give recommendations on the work. It was a book of collection of old photograph with captions and articles in between from Bailey's African Photo Archives in Johannesburg . Bailey travelled from Johannesburg to Dar es Salaam to see Ally Sykes and show him the manuscript.

Ally Sykes recommended me to Jim Bailey and it was in this way that I met him and he gave me the manuscript to read. It was through this manuscript that I came for the first time face to face with Nabwa's pen through his Prison Letters.

The letters introduced Nabwa's mind to me in a way that I can not find words to describe. In those letters Nabwa's pen was not writing but weeping and whipping. The words from Nabwa's pen were taking me to a different world which even in my wildest imagination I never thought existed. The first letter written in 1973 from Central Police Station Dar es Salaam shocked me. In that letter Nabwa described intimidation and torture by the police in the style replica of the Ton Ton Macouts of Papa Doc's Haiti .

That was not all among those arrested with him was Badru Said. This was a person I knew, an uncle of a friend of mine. In Nabwa's sense of humour in the letter he says it needs a Dickens to describe the squalor of the cell he was in. The letters which followed were all from Condemned Section Ukonga Prison with the exception of one from Muhimbili Hospital where he was hospitalised.

I remember reading those letters I some times found myself laughing not because the paragraph was in any way amusing but for the mockery and absurdity of it all. But that alone would not have made me laugh. It was that cynicism banking on satire which made me laugh at the tragic events unfolding instead of shading tears. Nabwa's pen ‘entertained' me in a way that I had not experienced before.

In his analysis of the personalities which people were made to believe were symbols of justice and principles Nabwa's pen removed the charade and the camouflage to reveal their true colours and identity. Nabwa's letters were a potpourri of short biographies, dossiers, profiles, hit list of ‘enemies' and method of their execution. In the Prison Letters Nabwa's pen exposed the atrocities which took place in Zanzibar after the revolution and analysed the arrogance, mediocrity and sheer myopia of the leadership.

Bailey had this to write on the letters:

''When I came by the letters of Ali Mohamed Ali – a Comorian islander, formerly manager of the Dar es Salaam branch of the East African Publishing House – written from Ukonga Gaol in Dar es Salaam , describing gaol conditions, they turned my stomach. I checked them against the story of a totally independent former prisoner in Ukonga. They tallied. I checked them against the record of a former Ugandan prisoner. They tallied. I discussed them with a former senior member of Tanu in Dar es Salaam . He confirmed that those were the conditions. I did not publish them since it would have put paid to any chance of publishing again in Tanzania.''

After finishing reading the manuscript I wanted to meet Nabwa and give him his letters as I knew he would not have copies and he would love to have them back. At that time he was Personal Assistant to the Vice President Dr Omar Ali Juma. I was able to get Nabwa's telephone number through an acquaintance at Masomo Bookshop in Zanzibar and I called him. If Dar es Salaam has Saigon Club, Zanzibar can boast of Masomo Bookshop at Mkunazini. One can fix anything from there.

I travelled to Zanzibar and I met Nabwa. About ten years had passed since we saw each other. Nabwa was happy to see me and was beside himself when I presented the envelope full of photocopies of his prison letters. He wanted to know how I came by them. Typical of him Nabwa began asking me if I could recognise the personalities behind he initials and innuendos he had used in the letters instead of real names. I told him some I could. Nabwa revealed to me the true identities of the characters. Some of them were people personally known to me.

Now looking back I am happy that I was among those privileged to read Nabwa's revelations of injustices in Zanzibar before he became a celebrity of sorts and his writings major topic of discussion in the corridors of power. The atrocities which no one had the courage to speak about them publicly for almost forty years were laid bare for all to read through Dira the paper which Nabwa founded in 2004.

Dira was the first free newspaper in Zanzibar since the revolution. The ripples from Nabwa's pen were electrifying. Dira became a paper eagerly awaited by the public including Zanzibar leadership each week. Its circulation rose each passing week. Nabwa's pen was lifting the lid in broad daylight. The stories of treachery, rape, murder, homosexuality, forced marriages by members of the Revolutionary Council and their cronies in Zanzibar were all there with names, places and accomplices for all to read and pass judgement.

Those who had demonised the Sultan had no tongue to defend their own ‘upright' track record. The young generation began to ask questions and in the answers they saw the leadership in power and the revolution in a different light all together.

Nabwa's pen helped the young generation to understand why those in power abhorred democracy and were constantly haunted by the ballot box. They now knew why the leadership in the government shivered at the prospect of losing power. The young generation now realised why the leadership would go to any length to cling to power even to the extent of committing more atrocities just to remain in power through massive vote rigging.

What more the young generation realised why those in power were trying to build a dynasty. The government did not have the courage or the strength of character to contradict Nabwa's pen. The only way out for the ruling clique was to harass Nabwa, revoke his citizenship and muzzle him by banning Dira. But government's revenge upon Nabwa had come too late as to some extent Nabwa's pen had completed its mission.

The last time I saw Nabwa was at his Dira office at Vuga. I had gone there to congratulate him for the work he was doing through the paper. I called him when Dira was banned and his citizenship revoked. I had a pressing matter which I wanted to discuss with him. I asked him if we could meet in Dar es Salaam . He told me that if he leaves the isles, Zanzibar Government will not let him in again. That was Nabwa. Much as he was haunted through intrigues Nabwa was not a person to be cowed. He challenged those in power to take him one on one. The authorities did not have the stomach for that.''

Gombesugu,
Kama kuna vitabu ambavyo wewe unaviona ndivyo credible katika suala la Nigerian civil war vitaje ili na sisi tuvidadavue.
Usibanie ilm. Hiki nilichokitaja nilikuta kinakubaliana na yale niliyoyajua kuhusu vita ya Biafra. Kama wewe una sources nyingine unazizipachika jina credible, zimwage hapa sote tuchote ilm. Kama dinner ya Nyerere clan imekuchefua ungechefuliwa siku nyingi na stori za Nyerere kununuliwa chakula Kariakoo. Kuhusu mapinduzi ya Zanzibar sina hakika kuwa Shamte alichaguliwa kihalali. Hayo nawaachia akina Nassor Moyo. My hands are full with our problems kule Mara.

Jasusi,

Najua wewe na wenzio mna allergy na Vitabu/sources za Wanataaluma wa akili za Madrassa,kwa hiyo haina haja ya kukusumbua akili zako nyingi kwa kukupatia hizo credible sources zangu kuhusu Biafra Conflict. Endelea tu na hiyo Ilm yako kutoka kwa hao Slave Masters.

Hiyo Dinner ya Nyerere Clan sio ilonichafua,naipenda mno maana najua ilikua ni yale madikodiko ya Mshume Kiyate. Kama ungelisoma uzuri ile post yangu ungeona yakuwa kilichonitafir na ile dinner table talk yenu...yakuwa watu wanachinjana na huyo Nyeyere wako akishiriki halafu ati mnapongezana!? vipo vitu vya kuleta maskhara hapa jamvini,lakini sio inapohusu masuala ya bin-Adam kutolewa roho zao!

Shamte alichaguliwa kihalali kwenye uchaguzi wa 1961.

The results of of June 1961 election saw ZNP&ZPPP alliance with 13 seats and ASP secured 10 seats.
The Alliance formed the first internal Self Rule Government with Mr. Mohammed Shamte as The Chief Minister.

Zanzibar was given full Independence in Dec 10th. 1963. The first Governmemt was formed by a Coalition of ZNP&ZPPP. Mr Mohammed Shamte,of the ZPPP became the first Prime Minister and Sultan Al Khalifa Jamshid Ibn Abdullah remained as the Head of State.

On Dec 16th. 1963,Prime Minister Mohammed Shamte,as Head of the Independent and Sovereign Government of Zanzibar,delivered a speech what was to be a historic speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.....and the rest is "History"!

Huyo Nassor Moyo wako; ni mojawapo ya viroja na vitimbi vya hayo maafa ya 1964...Seremala kugeuka Waziri na yule mtengeneza matofali kugeuka Field Marshal!? Wala si MZanzibary. Kama yuhai nipa salaam na sikose kumuuliza akutajie uzuri kwao ni wapi!? Yawezekana ni mwenzio wa huko huko Mara!?

Ahsanta.

[Omokora Nyangi]

Kwa muda mrefu nimekuwa nafuatilia thread hii lakini sikutaka kuchangia chochote, Maandiko ya Mohamed Said na uchambuzi wa Ndg Yerico Nyerere wote wameweza au hawakuweka kukidhi haja za wasomaji ambao kwa bahati mbaya wanaamini andiko la Mohamed Said ama kinyume chake.

Kitu kimoja ambacho wakoloni na watafuta maslahi waliweza kukifanya au wameweza sasa, ni kuwachonganisha waisilamu na wakristo. Hili halikufanyika hapa Tanzania tu bali hata pengine pote Duniani.

Hapa, nichangie tu kuthibitisha uchochezi huu ambao ulianza miaka mingi na bado unaendelea. Haya ni maneno ya Sheikh Thabit Kombo Jecha.

".............African Association iliundwa mwaka 1933 kwa msingi madhubuti wa kuaminiana na kukubaliana waafrika wote wa shamba na mijini, lakini ilipita katika vizingiti vingi kabla ya serikali kuitambua.Kama unavyojua, wakati huo waafirika wengi hawakuwa na elimu wala maarifa ya kuongoza Association kama sheria zilivyokuwa zinataka.. Kwa sababu hiyo waafirika wakakubaliana kwa kauli moja kuwa uongozi wapewe waafirika wenye mwanga wa elimu na wenyekujua mipango ya Association. Ikatokea kwamba wakati ule waafirika waliokuwa wanajua mipango ya Association na wenye kujua kusoma kidogo wakawa wenzetu wa Kikristo tu. Kwa hiyo tukakubaliana kumuweka Raisi wa chama hicho Mwl. Augostino Ramadhani, na mwandishi Bwn Paul Seme Sindi, na Bwn Fedha Ndg William Lyimo.. Katibu msaidizi Sajin Athuman Juma; Yeye alikuwa askari katika vita vikuu vya kwanza , na kwa sababu hiyo alijaliwa kuerevuka kidogo.

Kwa muda wa mwaka mmoja tu African Association ilikwisha pata zaidi ya wanachama 56,000, na mimi nikiwa mmoja ya wanachama hao.Michango mingi ilitolewa kwa hiari kabisa, na chama kikashamiri. Nguvu hiyo ikawatisha wazungu na waarabu, ambao hawakupenda umoja wetu, na tofauti za dini zikatumbukia kutuvuruga. Waisilamu wakashawishiwa kutoka katika chama kwa kutishwa kwamba madhali viongozi wote wa chama hicho ni wakiristo, basi na wao siku moja watabatizwa.. Kulikuwako taratibu za kuimba nyimbo za siasa za kuhamasisha umma, na watotot wa kike wawili, Damarias Njelwa na Grace Lyimo, walikuwa wakitunga nyimbo za siasa kwa sauti zinazo fanana na zile za kanisani, na viongozi wote wa African Association katika hadhara hiyo wakavua kofia. Wakati huo Damarias na Grace wote walikuwa viongozi wa Association. Tena kwa kawaida ya dini ya Kiisilamu wanawake hawachanganyiki na wanaume, na kitendo cha wale akina mama kilionekana kama kihoja hivi. Basi ule ushawishi ukakolea , na waisilamu wengi, hasa Washirazi, wakaondoka taratibu bila hata ya kutoa taarifa. Na mimi niliacha chama cha African Association kwa sababu hiyo iyo, lakini walikuwako waisilamu wengine walioendelea na chama"

Maelezo haya nimeyanukuu kutoka kwenye kitabu cha 'MASIMULIZI YA SHIKH THABITH KOMBO JECHA" kama kilivyoandikwa na Minael-Hosanna O. Mdundo Ukurasa wa 43-44.

Katika maelezo haya na mengine, Thabit Kombo, anaeleza jinsi wakoloni walivyoweza kupenyeza fitina za udini ili kuvuruga umoja harakati za waafirika kujenga umoja ili kuupinga unyonyaji wa wakoloni. Hapa, Thabiti Kombo, mmoja ya Wazanzbar waliopata kushika nafasi kubwa kabla na baada ya uhuru, anatubu na kukiri hiana hii ambayo ilimtumbukiza yeye mwenyewe hata akaamua kuachana na African Association.

Wapo waisilamu wachache wanao amini Nyerere aliwabagua waisilamu, hili wameliweka km sehemu ya imani yao. Ni ngumu kuwaeleza na kuwaondoa kwenye hoja hii. Jambo moja nawaomba, ni afadhali wasithubutu kupoteza muda wao kuiaminisha Dunia ya waisilamu inayokuja, kwamba Nyerere alikuwa mdini. Yerico amejitahidi kupingana na hoja hizi za udini wa Nyerere, nami nampongeza kwa udadavuzi wenye weleji mkubwa wa vihistoria hivi muhimu, hata hivyo ni jukumu zaidi la Mohamed na maswahaba zake kujichimbia na kutafuta ukweli wa upande mwingine na uongo wa hayo wanayoamini.

Nawasilisha.

Asante sana ndugu yangu kwamchango wako na simulizi hiyo nzuri ya mzee wetu Thabiti Kombo,

Ningeomba nisahihishe kidogo katika simulizi hiyo,

AA iliundwa mwaka 1927 na sio 1933,

Rais wake wakwanza alikuwa Mwalimu Cesil Matola na Katibu wake alikuwa Klest Sykes,

Mwaka 1933 ndipo Mwalimu Cesil Matola alipofariki na chama kikashikwa na Klest na waambata wengine!

Nimefurahi sana kusikia kuona mzee wetu Thabiti Kombo ni sehemu ya wanachama wa AA!

Safi sana!

Kama umepitia zile posts za jana,nilijibizana nae kiduchu mno tena kwa makhnatha tu maana nilihisi alitaka kunianzia mimi vile vituko vyake. Ati yeye nae anataka kujaribu kunikhadith khabari za yale maafa ya 1964!?ahaha!!

Embu fikiri,hawa jamaa mpaka kesho ati wanaamini yakuwa huyo "Field Marshal" "alipindua" Zanzibar kwa ngumi kavu kavu na masumbwi mazito mno!? Na kumbuka yakuwa wana ushahidi kutoka papers za CIA!?ahaha!!

Lakini lazim niseme;huyo Yericko alinichekesha kiduchu pale aliposema ati mojawapo ya sifa kubwa za huyo "Field Marshal",ilikua kitoweo chake ni mapaka!ahaha!! Nasikia na hii pia CIA wamethibitisha!ahah!!

Pana mengi mno Al Akhiy,lakini Insha Allah tutafika nao taratibu...Falyafrahu Qalilan Wa Yahku Kathiran!

Naona jana umetaja kiduchu khabari za Shangani na Mwera...nilihisi tunafahamiana tangia nilipoingia hapa na kuona hiyo picha yako. Lakini tusijuane sana hapa jamvini maana italazim tuwe wazito kiduchu kunena tutakayo baina yetu!ahaha!!

Nakupa hints kiduchu; pale Shangani Al Marhum Ali Amrani na nduguye Said Amran na Mama yao Hobo alifariki kitambo maskini. Hapo Kianga ndipo khaswa umefika, pale ndani kiduchu Mwangarani unapakumbuka,Al Marhum Bwana Salum wa Mkunazini ndo alokua akishughulika kule mwishoni!? Pale Mwera Legeza Mwendo na Maili Sita vipi!? Kwenye ule Msikiti wa Kianga kabla ya kuvuka kidaraja pia paliuliwa jamaa wengi hiyo siku ya maafa.

Unajua huyo Bwana Mohammed Salim nduguye Salim Ahmed,ameoa mmojawapo ya Aunt zangu. Na kwa sasa nafikiri wanapaendeleza uzuri pale Kianga. Insha Allah tutazungumza uzuri siku nyingine.
Nafurahi Al Akhiy Ritz kawawekea ule mpini mubashar kutoka kwa Ahmed Rajab. Nimecheka maana namjua Bwana Ahmed Rajab,hana stahamala akianza kutiririka na kalamu. Kamchambua japo kiduchu,lakini imesaidia kuwaonyesha jamaa hapa yakuwa huyo "Field Marshal" wao alikua ni mgonjwa wa akili na maarifa!ahaha!! "Rais wa Nchi" ati akishinda Rahaleo pale Radio kutwa kucha kutangaza makhanatha ya kutisha ndugu na jamaa zetu,bila ya maarifa yoyote!...Khabith mkubwa yule!

Nimesikitika kiduchu,maana naona huyo Mag3 ati kaleta taarifa yakuwa family ya huyo "Field Marshal" imekumbwa na njaa na madhila yaso kifani huko kwao Uganda. Sasa sijui ndo twatakiwa tuwachangie senti au vipi...kwa hili binafsi tasubiri amri toka kwa Al Akhiy Shariff Ritz ili atoe maelekezo na Fatwa yake!

Ahsanta.

[Mkuu wa chuo]

Those with intelect can easily differentiate...

Exactly, this is how we do...

 

[gombesugu]

Huo ndio ukweli pekee unaokwepwa bila sababu za msingi!

Field Marshal John Okello au Mungu wa Afrika ndie BABA halisi wa Taifa la Zanzibar,

Ulie, ukatae, unune, ususe huo ndio ukweli!

Na wazanzibar wanayo fursa ya kumuenzi kama mkombozi wao sio kuyaenzi tu mapinduzi yake kwa mgongo wa chupa!

Yericko,

Mbona unaanza kutuletea maneno ya kutuvunjia hishma!? Unakuwa akili zako kama yule mwanaharamu wa Kiganda a.k.a "Field Marshal"!

Bila ya kujali mtazamo wako katika hiyo "Historia yenu" lakini kumbuka sisi wengine Family zetu zilimwaga damu pale! Na hili nilishakufahamisha awali tena kwa njia ya kistaarabu.

This is a little advice to you. Stop acting like you know everything. Please talk about sucking lollipops not what happened in Zanzibar 1964.

If you never hear the words manners and dignity it's much much more difficult to comprehend.

Most importantly,before you learn the word or concept,you never could know that you needed to learn it or that anything was missing.

Probably you are "a learned man". Then you should decide if what you learned is valid,or useful,or just propaganda as you go and after you understand it,not before hand.

A bad attitude is like a flat tire as you can't go anywhere until you change it.

I hope this help.

Shukran.

Kwa niaba ya Alyh Bab, gombesugu, basi chukuwa huu mpini walaahai...kutoka kwa Harith Ghassany.
Kwaheri Ukoloni, Kwaheri Uhuru: Zanzibar na Mapinduzi ya Afrabia

HATA kama hupendi kusoma vitabu; hiki si cha kukosa. Kwanza kimeandikwa kwa Kiswahili fasaha; lugha yetu mama inayoanza kufifishwa na kuchujwa na kizazi kisichosoma vitabu siku hizi. Pili, kimepikwa na mtaalamu halisi. Dk Harith Ghassany alizaliwa Zanzibar akapata shahada ya udaktari wa Falsafa Chuo Kikuu cha Harvard, Massachussets, Marekani. Harvard ni chuo cha kale sana; kilianzishwa mwaka 1636 na kwa muda mrefu kimeorodheshwa na magazeti, watalaamu na chama cha vyuo vikuu duniani kuwa cha kwanza duniani.
Fani yake kuu ni utafiti. Dk Ghassany ambaye anasema alitafiti kitabu hiki muhimu kuanzia 2004 hadi 2009 alikuwa awali Profesa Msaidizi Chuo cha Udaktari na Sayansi za Afya , Chuo Kikuu cha Sultani Qaboos, kilichoko Muscat, Oman, Uarabuni. Nilipomhoji kutokea Marekani anakoishi, Dk Ghassany alifafanua lengo la kuandika kigongo hiki chenye kurasa 500: Nia yangu ni kuziondoa fitina za upotoshaji wa historia ili uhusiano mkongwe baina ya Wazanzibari, baina ya Wazanzibari na Watanganyika (Watanzania) na baina ya Waafrika na Waarabu, upate kuendelea kutiririka na kuimarika kwa maslahi ya kujenga amani na neema kwa faida ya walio wengi na vizazi vya baadaye vya pande zote. Sijawahi kusoma kitabu kinachomhusu kila Mtanzania kama hiki.
Licha ya kuhadithia, kinatafakari maswali mengi. Je, neno Afrika asilia yake nini? Vipi tukaitwa Tanzania? Vipi Wazanzibari wengine hawautaki Muungano? Mapinduzi ya Unguja yalianzia wapi? Nani hasa alihusika? Je, viongozi waliopindua ndiyo waliotawala? Ndani ya sura ya pili, inayohusu Mirengo ya Kizalendo na Mapinduzi, ukurasa 23, mwandishi anatueleza bila kupepesa macho: Msomaji anatakiwa awe makini kabisa na hata kabla hajaendelea kusoma inampasa afahamu kuwa viongozi wakubwa wa Chama cha Afro Shirazi kama marehemu, Mzee Abeid Amani Karume, marehemu Mzee Thabiti Kombo Jecha au Sheikh Aboud Jumbe hawakushiriki katika mipango halisi ya mapinduzi ya Zanzibar. Si kitabu cha kisasi chenye azma ya kusakama wakuu wa nchi na mashujaa wetu wa zamani kibwege; au kuwachafua. Dk Ghassany anakiri hana kabisa mshawasha wa kutaka kuja kuwa mwanasiasa au mgombea kiti cha urais. Zamani Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere alipenda kutuambia wasomi tusisahau tulikotoka. Kambarage alimlinganisha msomi na kijana aliyetumwa na kijiji chenye njaa kukitafutia ahueni kisha arudi kuwasaidia wanavijiji wenzake.
Dk Ghassany ni msomi wa kabila hilo. Katimiza wajibu wake. Anasema kitabu kilikuwa kigumu kukiandika na pia kigumu kukisoma. Moja ya msingi mahsusi wa kazi za historia ni kutukumbusha watu tuliowasahau na mafunzo yake.
Tunamkumbuka John Okello? Je, Oscar Kambona, mpinzani mkuu wa hayati Nyerere na ujamaa aliyeishia uhamishoni hapa London, alihusikaje katika mapinduzi ya visiwani? Je, nini kilitokea wakati wa maasi ya wanajeshi wa Tanganyika mwaka huo huo wa 1964? Je, silaha za mapinduzi ya Zanzibar zilitoka wapi? Je, vyama vingine kama Umma Party cha hayati Abdulrahaman Babu vilifanya nini? Kassim Hanga ni nani? Je, kwanini Kassim Hanga akanyongwa miaka michache baada ya mapinduzi ya Unguja, 1964? Je, aliyekuwa zamani kiongozi wa Algeria, Ahmed Ben Bella (ambaye yu hai) alihusikaje? Je, wanamapinduzi maarufu wa Cuba Fidel Castro na Che Guevara walihusika? Kwanini shirika la Upelelezi la Marekani, CIA lilikuwa likiogopa sana Unguja? Je, vipi maelfu ya Wazanzibari wamezagaa ulimwenguni wakiishi Ulaya, Marekani na Uarabuni, baada ya kuikimbia nchi yao? Je, mwanajeshi maarufu Kanali Ali Mahfoudh alifanya nini? Maswali mengi yamejibiwa si tu kwa utafiti maridadi alioufanya mtaalamu huyu bali pia kupitia midomo ya waliohusika.
Kitabu kimejazana hati za siri, za kiserikali na pia mahojiano na wazee hai walioshika mapanga enzi hizo. Wengine wao kama Victor Mkello (aliyekuwa zamani mmoja wa viongozi wakubwa wa Chama cha Wafanyakazi na TANU wanahadithia kinauga ubaga ama walivyotiwa ndani, walivyosakamwa na nani alifanya nini katika ngazi za juu. Hiki si kitabu cha mchezo. Kuna pia mchango wa mzalendo na mwanahistoria mwingine Mohamed Said (aliyeandika vitabu viwili vinavyohusika na historia ya TANU, kimojawapo Uchaguzi wa mwaka 1958 katika kutafiti habari kibao.
Alivyokuwa mkweli, mbali ya utafiti na picha lukuki; Dk Ghassany aliwaonyesha viongozi wa sasa Unguja na bara muswaada wa kitabu kabla ya kuutoa. Anasema : Mustakbali utakuwa mzuri iwapo utajiri wake mkubwa wa kihistoria wa kijiografia wa Zanzibar na Tanzania utatumika kuuimarisha Muungano wake na Tanganyika baada ya Baraza adhimu la wawakilishi kuipitia na kuifanyia marekebisho katiba ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania kwa kuyalinda maslahi ya Zanzibar na kuonyesha njia mpya ya Muungano wa Jamhuri ya Tanzania. Unguja na Pwani kijumla ndiko lilipo chimbuko la lugha ya Kiswahili. Kama kazi ya fasihi ya lugha hii tukufu, kitabu kitakusaidia msomaji (hata uwe si mpenzi wa mambo mazito ya kihistoria na kisiasa) kuboresha ujuzi wako wa Kiswahili fasaha, hasa vijana. Kwa watu wa makamo na wazee, wataalamu na wapenda nchi yetu watapata changamoto na jopo la kufanya majadiliano, kupitia mambo ambayo tuliyasikia tu mitaani miaka 40 iliyopita.


Huu mpini mwingine kutoka kwa Ahmed Rajabu.
Siku John Okelo alipotimuliwa Zanzibar


Ahmed Rajab
YAFUATAYO ni masimulizi mafupi ya kipindi kifupi cha Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar ya Januari, 1964 yaliyoipindua serikali ya ubia ya chama cha Zanzibar Nationalist (maarufu Hizbu) na kile cha Zanzibar and Pemba Peoples Party (ZPPP). Tunaangazia nini hasa kilitokea usiku wa Jumamosi Januari 11, yaliyojiri siku ya pili yake na mwezi mzima wa Januari, mwaka 1964 .
Tumeyakusanya masimulizi haya baada ya kuzungumza na walioshiriki katika Mapinduzi hayo ambao baadaye walisaidia kudhibiti madaraka na kuunda taasisi zilizoziba pengo la Serikali iliyopinduliwa ya Waziri Mkuu, Muhammed Shamte Hamadi.
Usiku wa manane wa Januari 11, makada wapatao 200 wa Umoja wa Vijana wa Afro-Shirazi (Afro-Shirazi Youth League) walielekea kwenye kambi ya polisi ya Ziwani, nje kidogo ya mji huko Unguja.
Wakiongozwa na Yusuf Himid wapinduzi hao hawakukabiliwa na upinzani walipofika Ziwani ila waliikuta ghala ya silaha iko wazi na wakazinyakua silaha na kukimbia nazo hadi kwenye uwanja ulio nje ya jengo la Raha Leo.
Hapo ndipo palipokuwa makao makuu ya Mapinduzi kwa siku chache na ndipo wapinduzi walikokuwa wakipewa silaha. Studio za redio ya Serikali pia zilikuwa hapo.
Moja ya sababu zilizoyafanya Mapinduzi yafanikiwe haraka ni uamuzi wa viongozi wa Serikali iliyopinduliwa Sheikh Muhammed Shamte na Sheikh Ali Muhsin Barwani kuwataka wafuasi wao wasitumie nguvu kuyapinga.
Hivyo, mbali na mapigano yaliyozuka saa za asubuhi ya Jumapili Januari 12, mbele ya Steshini ya Polisi Malindi, hapajazuka mapigano Unguja kati ya waliopindua na waliopinduliwa. Pemba nako pia hakukuwa na upinzani ijapokuwa kisiwa hicho kilikuwa ngome ya vyama vya ZNP na ZPPP.
Wengi wa wapiganaji waliokuwa kwenye Stesheni ya Polisi ya Malindi walikuwa wakuu wa polisi Wakiingereza. Wakipigana na makada wa Umma Party ambao ndio pia waliouteka uwanja wa ndege, bandari pamoja na kituo cha mawasiliano ya nje cha Cable & Wireless, kilichokuwa kwenye jengo ambalo sasa ni Hoteli ya Serena Mji Mkongwe.
Kwa hakika, kinyume cha baadhi ya watu walivyoandika hapakutokea mauaji ya kimbari. Aliyeanzisha uvumi huo alikuwa John Okello aliyeandika kwenye kitabu chake kuhusu Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar kwamba watu zaidi ya elfu kumi waliuliwa. Okello aliongeza kwamba aliamrishwa na Yesu Kristo kuwakomboa Waafrika wa Zanzibar kutoka kwa wageni.
Tutamrejelea Okello na wengine waliokuwa Raha Leo baadaye. Kwanza tukumbushe kwamba mkesha wa Januari 12, mwaka 1964, Zanzibar haikuwa na jeshi. Kulikuwa polisi waliokuwa wakiongozwa na Waingereza. Wengi wa askari polisi walikuwa raia wa Tanganyika. Serikali iliyopinduliwa ilikataa kuandikiana mkataba wa kijeshi na Uingereza kwa sababu ikihisi mkataba kama huo utaonekana kuwa wa kikoloni.
Hatuwezi kusema ni nani hasa aliyepiga risasi ya mwanzo au ya mwisho katika Mapinduzi. Naitoshe tusemapo kwamba kwa vile hakukuwa na upinzani, Serikali iliyokuwa madarakani iliporomoka kama nyumba ya karata.
Tuwarejelee sasa waliokuwa Raha Leo, makao makuu ya Mapinduzi kwa siku chache. Kwanza tumuangalie Okello ambaye sauti yake ndiyo iliyokuwa ikivuma kwenye Redio Zanzibar.
Hatuna uhakika nani alimpeleka Okello Raha Leo. Wengine wanasema ni Yusuf Himidi. Wengine wanasema ni Seif Bakari aliyetoa rai atumiwe kutoa matangazo kwenye redio kwa vile sauti yake ilikuwa na lafudhi ngeni ya kutisha.
Uhakika tulio nao ni kwamba Okello alipotokea Raha Leo na mabastola yake, Aboud Jumbe alishtuka na akauliza: Nani huyu? Katokea wapi?
Kijana huyo aliyekuwa na umri wa miaka 27 hakujulikana kabla ya Mapinduzi. Alikuwa mtu asiyejua kuandika wala kusoma na akili zake zikimtosha mwenyewe. Hakuwa na sifa za uongozi na wala hakushiriki katika vuguvugu lolote la kisiasa.
Akijibandika cheo cha kijeshi cha Field Marshall ni yeye aliyetangaza kwamba serikali ya ZNP/ZPPP imepinduliwa.
Kwa hakika, kazi hiyo ya kutangaza kufanikiwa kwa Mapinduzi kwanza alipewa Ramadhan Haji, mmoja wa wapinduzi. Lakini alikataa. Jina la Okello lisingelisikika lau Ramadhan Haji angekubali kutangaza kwamba Serikali imepinduliwa na kwamba wapinduzi waliidhibiti nchi.
Waliokuwa wakiongoza mambo Raha Leo tangu Mapinduzi yaanze, hadi Jumatatu Januari 13, walikuwa Aboud Jumbe, mmoja wa viongozi wa chama cha Afro-Shirazi (ASP), Thabit Kombo (Katibu Mkuu wa ASP) na Badawi Qullatein wa Umma Party. Muda wote huo, Sheikh Abeid Amani Karume (kiongozi wa ASP), Abdulrahman Babu (mwenyekiti wa Umma Party) na Abdalla Kassim Hanga (ASP) walikuwa Dar es Salaam.
Mnamo siku hizo hizo liliundwa Baraza la Mapinduzi na Baraza la Mawaziri lililokuwa na mamlaka kamili ya kuiendesha Zanzibar. Mabaraza hayo mawili yalikuwa taasisi kuu za Serikali ya kimapinduzi ya Jamhuri ya Watu wa Zanzibar. Na sio ile iitwayo Kamati ya Watu Kumi na Nne ambayo baadhi ya watu wanasema kuwa ndiyo iliyoandaa Mapinduzi.
Okello akipenda kujigamba kwamba ndiye aliyeyapanga na kuyaongoza Mapinduzi. Alikuwa akitoa matamshi ya kushtusha na ya ajabu-ajabu kwenye Redio Zanzibar. Kwa mfano, siku moja alidai kwamba alipwe mshahara mkubwa zaidi ya aliokuwa akilipwa Rais Karume. Siku nyingine akasema kwamba kasri zote alizokuwa akitumia sultani kupumzikia apewe yeye.
Kuna siku aliyotoa hukumu kwamba mzee mmoja wa zaidi ya miaka 60 afungwe kwa miaka 99. Alisema kama huyo bwana atakufa gerezani basi mwanawe afungwe ili kuendeleza kifungo na mwanawe akifa basi mjukuu wake afungwe mpaka itimie miaka 99.
Nyakati nyingine aliwaonya watu wazitie moto familia zao na wao wenyewe mpaka wafe kabla ya majeshi yangu kuja. Alikuwa akitoa vitisho visivyowahi kamwe kusikika Zanzibar.
Kuna siku alitangaza kwamba wakazi wa eneo moja ambako alikuwa apite, wajipange foleni barabarani wakiwa wamevaa chupi tu.
Okello alikuwa ni adha, kitisho, kichekesho na fedheha kwa Zanzibar. Viongozi wapya wa nchi walichoka naye na wakaamua kumchukulia hatua. Salim Rashid, mmoja wa viongozi wa Umma Party aliyekuwa katibu wa Baraza la Mapinduzi anasema kwamba, kwanza alilizungumza suala la Okello na Sheikh Karume. Halafu akalizungumza na Brigadia Yusuf Himid na mwisho yeye, Yusuf Himid na Kanali Ali Mahfoudh wakalitafutia dawa.
Ilisadifu kuwa siku moja Okello alisafiri kwenda Dar es Salaam akifuatana na Jaha Ubwa, aliyekuwa katibu wake. Walipokuwa wanatarajiwa kurudi Zanzibar, Karume, Yusuf Himid, Salim Rashid na Ali Mahfoudh walikwenda uwanja wa ndege kumsubiri.
Siku hiyo anaikumbuka vizuri Luteni Hashil Seif aliyekuwa ofisa wa zamu kwenye kambi ya jeshi huko Migombani karibu na uwanja wa ndege. Alipigiwa simu akitakiwa aende kwa haraka uwanja wa ndege. Hakuambiwa anaitiwa nini.
Alipofika ndipo alipoambiwa kwamba kuna ndege ya Shirika la Ndege la Afrika ya Mashariki iliyokuwa inakuja kutoka Dar es Salaam ndani yake wakiwemo pia Okello na Jaha Ubwa. Akaelezwa kwamba awaruhusu abiria wote pamoja na Ubwa washuke, lakini amzuie Okello asishuke. Halafu amwambie rubani ampeleke Okello Kenya.
Hashil naye akampigia simu komredi mwenzake Luteni Amour Dugheshina kumwita aende uwanja wa ndege amsaidie. Maluteni wote wawili walikuwa na bunduki za aina ya machine gun.
Ndege ilipotua walipanda ndani ya ndege, wakampokonya silaha Okello na kutekeleza amri waliopewa. Rubani wa ndege alikasirika sana. Uso wake ulighadhibika, utafikiri mnyama aliyekosewa risasi, alieleza Hashil.
Lakini rubani hakuwa na la kufanya ila kuiwasha ndege na kuelekea Kenya.
Huku nyuma Salim Rashid akampigia simu Oginga Odinga, Makamu wa Rais wa Kenya, kumuarifu kwamba wamemfukuza Okello na wanamrejesha Kenya. Alifanya hivyo kwa makosa kwa sababu kutokana na jina lake akifikiri kuwa Okello ni Mjaluo kutoka Kenya.
Kumbe alikuwa mtu wa kabila la Acholi aliyezaliwa Uganda na alikwenda Unguja kabla ya kuhamia Pemba ambako alikuwa mwashi, mtiaji rangi nyumba na mpasuaji mawe.
Swali la kujiuliza hapa ni; je, iwapo kweli Okello alikuwa kiongozi mpendwa wa Mapinduzi ilikuwaje wafuasi wake na wanamapinduzi wenzake wasimtetee alipoadhiriwa uwanja wa ndege na kufukuzwa nchini? Ilikuwaje akafukuzwa kwa urahisi hivyo?
Kuna uzushi mwingi kuhusu kipindi hiki kifupi cha historia ya Zanzibar. Kwa mfano, kuna filamu ya kubuni ya Wataliana inayoonyesha maiti chungu nzima za watu waliopigwa risasi. Filamu hiyo ilikuwa na lengo moja tu; kuonyesha ukatili na unyama wa Waafrika.
Hakuna ithibati yoyote kwamba watu waliouawa katika siku za mwanzo za Mapinduzi walifika elfu kumi. Ukweli ni kwamba jumla ya watu waliouawa siku hizo haipindukii 200, katika sehemu za mjini hawazidi 25.
Uzushi mwingine ni kwamba walipelekwa Watanganyika, Zanzibar wakiwa na silaha kwenda kupindua. Na si kweli kwamba Mapinduzi yalikuwa na msisitizo wa kikabila. Katika kipindi cha mwanzo cha Mapinduzi msisitizo ulikuwa wa kitabaka. Nyimbo zilizokuwa zikiimbwa kwenye Redio Zanzibar zikiwazungumzia wakwezi na wakulima na wafanyakazi kwa jumla na si makabila.
Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar yalianzisha taasisi mpya za utawala zikiwa pamoja na Baraza la Mapinduzi, Baraza la Mawaziri na ofisi ya Rais. Taasisi hizo zilikuwa zifanye kazi kwa muda wa mwaka mmoja tu kwa vile ilikwishaamuliwa kwamba Januari 1965 pafanywe uchaguzi wa kulichagua Bunge la Katiba, lililokuwa litunge Katiba ya kudumu ya Zanzibar.
Baraza la Mapinduzi la Zanzibar pamoja na Serikali mpya zilianza kwa ubia baina ya chama cha ASP na Umma Party. Ingawa wanachama wa ASP ndio waliofanya Mapinduzi waliutambua mchango wa wafuasi wa Umma Party na hasa mchango wa makada wao waliopata mafunzo ya kijeshi nchini Cuba.
Vijana hao wa Umma walizitia wasiwasi serikali za Marekani na Uingereza na kuzifanya ziamini kuwa utawala mpya wa Zanzibar ulikuwa wa kikomunisti. Dhana hiyo ndiyo iliyosababisha kuchukuliwa hatua ya kuyachimba na kuyagandamiza Mapinduzi ya Zanzibar yaliyodumu kutoka Januari 12, hadi 26 Aprili, mwaka 1964.

Mimi binafsi hizo local politics hapo zimenitupa mkono maana ni kitambo sasa. Halafu hayo mambo yao ya Udini huku wakijivisha ngozi za Uzalendo na u-Atheist,mimi nakua sina asilan interest na topics kama hizo. Ndo maana huona mara nyingi najiepusha nazo mno.

Jasusi,

Najua wewe na wenzio mna allergy na Vitabu/sources za Wanataaluma wa akili za Madrassa,kwa hiyo haina haja ya kukusumbua akili zako nyingi kwa kukupatia hizo credible sources zangu kuhusu Biafra Conflict. Endelea tu na hiyo Ilm yako kutoka kwa hao Slave Masters.

Hiyo Dinner ya Nyerere Clan sio ilonichafua,naipenda mno maana najua ilikua ni yale madikodiko ya Mshume Kiyate. Kama ungelisoma uzuri ile post yangu ungeona yakuwa kilichonitafir na ile dinner table talk yenu...yakuwa watu wanachinjana na huyo Nyeyere wako akishiriki halafu ati mnapongezana!? vipo vitu vya kuleta maskhara hapa jamvini,lakini sio inapohusu masuala ya bin-Adam kutolewa roho zao!

Shamte alichaguliwa kihalali kwenye uchaguzi wa 1961.

The results of of June 1961 election saw ZNP&ZPPP alliance with 13 seats and ASP secured 10 seats.
The Alliance formed the first internal Self Rule Government with Mr. Mohammed Shamte as The Chief Minister.

Zanzibar was given full Independence in Dec 10th. 1963. The first Governmemt was formed by a Coalition of ZNP&ZPPP. Mr Mohammed Shamte,of the ZPPP became the first Prime Minister and Sultan Al Khalifa Jamshid Ibn Abdullah remained as the Head of State.

On Dec 16th. 1963,Prime Minister Mohammed Shamte,as Head of the Independent and Sovereign Government of Zanzibar,delivered a speech what was to be a historic speech to the United Nations General Assembly in New York.....and the rest is "History"!

Huyo Nassor Moyo wako; ni mojawapo ya viroja na vitimbi vya hayo maafa ya 1964...Seremala kugeuka Waziri na yule mtengeneza matofali kugeuka Field Marshal!? Wala si MZanzibary. Kama yuhai nipa salaam na sikose kumuuliza akutajie uzuri kwao ni wapi!? Yawezekana ni mwenzio wa huko huko Mara!?

Ahsanta.

gombesugu,

..kabla mnakasha huu haujaendelea naomba niweke mambo machache sawa.

..kwanza, kwetu sisi watu wa BARA, kuna tofauti kati ya MUARABU na MZUNGU.

..MUARABU kwetu ndiye SLAVE MASTER kutokana na ushiriki wake ktk kukamata WATUMWA.

..MZUNGU yeye tunamtambua kama MKOLONI kwasababu alifika hapa na kuanzishwa utawala wa mabavu wa kikoloni.

..suala la pili ni kuhusu uhuru wa mwaka 1963, uchaguzi wa Zanzibar, pamoja na MAPINDUZI.

..Uhuru wa Znz wa mwaka 1963 haukuwa halali. kwetu sisi tunaufananisha na ule Uhuru wa kina Ian Smith wa Rhodesia.

..Uchaguzi uliofanyika na matokeo yake hayakuwa halali kwasababu chama kilichopata kura nyingi na viti vingi kilishindwa kuunda serikali.

..utaratibu wa uchaguzi wa Znz ulikuwa umetengenezwa kwa namna ambayo WAAFRIKA na chama chao cha ASP wasingeweza kushika madaraka na kuongoza serikali.

..ZPPP walitakiwa kuunda alliance na ASP,chama kilichoshinda uchaguzi,hatimaye kuunda serikali. sasa hapo unaona vyama vya Kiarabu, vilivyoshindwa uchaguzi, vimeungana na kuwatenga Waafrika walioshinda uchaguzi ktk kuunda serikali.

..Kwa msingi huo ndiyo utaona kwamba sisi watu wa BARA tunaona serikali ya Mohamed Shamte haikuwa halali, hata kama sheria za uchaguzi zilikuwa zinawaruhusu kufanya waliyofanya.

..Katika mazingira yale ya sheria za uchaguzi na vitimbi vya Waarabu kuendelea kuwakandamiza Waafrika basi MAPINDUZI yalikuwa lazima.

..Mwisho, vile unavyomuona Hassan Nassoro Moyo kama mtu wa kuja hapo Znz ndivyo hivyo hivyo na sisi watu wa BARA tunavyowaona Waarabu na utawala wao wa Kisultani kwamba nao ni "wakuja"/ "alien" ktk ardhi ya Waafrika.

..Baada ya kusema hayo sasa naomba kwa heshima na taadhima mnakasha huu uendelee.

..Uhuru wa Znz wa mwaka 1963 haukuwa halali. kwetu sisi tunaufananisha na ule Uhuru wa kina Ian Smith wa Rhodesia.

JokaKuu,

Salaam. Nimependa hayo majibu yako.

Nitakujibu kiduchu tu;yakuwa haiyumkini asilan ati wewe JokaKuu uwe M'bara au MTanganyika zaidi kuliko mimi Gombesugu...hasha,asilan abadan! Na nina vithibitisho vingi mno kwanini nakuambia hivi. Labda muhimu ni kuwa sisi soote tunaishi na tuna asili ya hapa Afrika.

Usije kunipa kicheko kwa kutaka kunita Racist!?ahaha!!

Lakini iko siku nitakunyambuliana kiundani hapa hapa jamvini,ili ujue kwanini nalisema hivi.

Nakukumbusha yakuwa mimi si Mwarabu,bali mimi ni Mswahili.

Ahsanta na tuendelee na mnakasha ndugu yangu.

gombesugu,

..kabla mnakasha huu haujaendelea naomba niweke mambo machache sawa.

..kwanza, kwetu sisi watu wa BARA, kuna tofauti kati ya MUARABU na MZUNGU.

..MUARABU kwetu ndiye SLAVE MASTER kutokana na ushiriki wake ktk kukamata WATUMWA.

..MZUNGU yeye tunamtambua kama MKOLONI kwasababu alifika hapa na kuanzishwa utawala wa mabavu wa kikoloni.

..suala la pili ni kuhusu uhuru wa mwaka 1963, uchaguzi wa Zanzibar, pamoja na MAPINDUZI.

..Uhuru wa Znz wa mwaka 1963 haukuwa halali. kwetu sisi tunaufananisha na ule Uhuru wa kina Ian Smith wa Rhodesia.

..Uchaguzi uliofanyika na matokeo yake hayakuwa halali kwasababu chama kilichopata kura nyingi na viti vingi kilishindwa kuunda serikali.

..utaratibu wa uchaguzi wa Znz ulikuwa umetengenezwa kwa namna ambayo WAAFRIKA na chama chao cha ASP wasingeweza kushika madaraka na kuongoza serikali.

..ZPPP walitakiwa kuunda alliance na ASP,chama kilichoshinda uchaguzi,hatimaye kuunda serikali. sasa hapo unaona vyama vya Kiarabu, vilivyoshindwa uchaguzi, vimeungana na kuwatenga Waafrika walioshinda uchaguzi ktk kuunda serikali.
