White House cancels Obama's African safari after plans are revealed to include military SNIPERS!

Last time I checked...a word "safari" means kufanya utalii mbugani.
Hivyo haimaanishi kuwa Obama haji Tanzania.

Safari (səˈfɑːrɪ)
— n , pl -ris
1.an overland journey or hunting expedition, esp in Africa
2.any recreational journey or expedition
3.the people, animals, etc, that go on the expedition

[C19: from Swahili: journey, from Arabic safarīya, from safara to travel]
 
Wakuu kwa kiswahili kifupi kilichoahirishwa ni kutembelea mbuga za wanyama kwa nia ya kutalii, kwa kiingereza inaitwa 'safari'.
Awali ilipangwa aende Mikumi kuangalia wanyama, hicho ndicho kimefutwa. Safari ya Obama kwa kiingereza 'trip' bado ipo. Hizo suti na miwani myeusi endeleeni kununua...
 
ahhhh tushaanza kusafisha barabara bnakufukuza wamachinga na vibanda vidogovidogo dah

Dont bring this on Kenya/Kenyans, The Daily Nation is a spot on reputable press that gains nothing in propagating malice about a neighbouring state.
The whole article is an abuse to Africans, just read thru it again. Sounds like Tanzania is some hostile territory of sort, like stone age to the core and the presedent (US) was on a by the way trip.
The point on 2 hour trip is so much telling: exaggerated secret service need to be, cheetahs; weapons and guns, amphibious landing, airspace integrity......Americans are sick.....list is endless

You are right Mkuu, My problem was how comes our naighbours publish such information quoting the information with no credibility? This news it too cheap to be published in one of reputable website like what you have called it. On the other hand is like they are also happy with those insults.

Afadhali bana. Maana bei ya suti nyeusi na miwani ime-shoot ghafla bin vuu. Sasa nina uhakika wa kutokelezea kwenye harusi ya mshkaji wangu.

president's special counterassault team to
carry sniper rifles with high-calibre rounds
that could neutralise cheetahs, lions or other
animals if they became a threat," the paper
reported."

Wala sioni mantiki ya kucheki neno rahisi kama hili. Sisi ndio tulitakiwa tuwafundishe neno ''safari'' mnalitumia vibaya, lina maana pana zaidi ya mnavyolitafsiri.

WASHINGTON – The White House has canceled a safari that US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were due to take in Tanzania over budgetary concerns, The Washington Post reported Thursday.



The paper reported that the safari "would have required the presidents special counterassault team to carry sniper rifles.".

The newspaper, citing a Secret Service planning document, said the excursion scheduled during a tour of Africa that Obama will undertake later this month would have required agents protecting him to take extraordinary precautions.

The safari "would have required the president's special counterassault team to carry sniper rifles with high-caliber rounds that could neutralize cheetahs, lions or other animals if they became a threat," the paper reported.

Outlining the vast security preparations made for Obama's trip to Senegal, Tanzania and South Africa, the document was provided to the Post by a person "concerned about the amount of resources necessary for the trip."

It did not provide cost information.

The Post said the White House canceled the safari Wednesday after the paper inquired about the "purpose and expense." The Obamas had been expected to spend more than two hours at Tanzania's Mikumi National Park.

The White House was not immediately available for comment, but a spokesman told the Post that a trip to South Africa's Robben Island, the site of the prison where anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela was held, had taken precedence.

"We do not have a limitless supply of assets to support presidential missions, and we prioritized a visit to Robben Island over a two-hour safari in Tanzania," said the spokesman, Josh Earnest.

"Unfortunately, we couldn't do both."

The Post said Obama's Africa tour, his first since taking office in January 2009, could cost the government between $60 million and $100 million, based on cost of similar trips in recent years.

The report comes as many government agencies struggle with mandatory budget cuts that took effect in March because US lawmakers failed to strike a wider budget deal.

Hundreds of Secret Service agents will be dispatched for the president's visit, along with a Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully staffed medical trauma center stationed offshore, the report said.

Dozens of vehicles will also be brought to the three countries by military transport planes, along with sheets of bulletproof glass to cover the windows of the hotels where the Obamas stay.

"Fighter jets will fly in shifts, giving 24-hour coverage over the president's airspace," the report said, citing the Secret Service document.
