A call for citizens to mourn a major national tragedy
We, members of different communities in Tanzania, with great sorrow and heavy hearts, acknowledge the tragic events that have occurred in Tanzania, where brutal killings have claimed the lives of 3,000 innocent people.
We announce that we will observe three days of mourning and prayer. We are requesting you to join us.
We acknowledge that the brutality that took place in Tanzaniawas horrific, inhuman, ungodly, and unconstitutional. It has shocked everyone in the world.
In solidarity and brotherhood, and in honour those who lost their lives through the cruel and brutal killings, we are asking you and all citizens of Tanzania, and our friends and neighbours, to participate in this mourning ceremony starting at 6 am on Saturday, November 8; all day Sunday- November 9, and all day Monday, November 10, until 6 pm.
We request that you can participate by taking the following actions
1) Do not leave your home; stay at home and mourn as per our traditions and customs.
2) Wear clothing that indicates mourning: choose a black attire, and this may be a black shirt or dress, t-shirts, blouses, suits, or simply a head scarf.
3) Observe one minute of silence at 12 midday every day of mourning (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday).
4) Do not participate in any celebrations that may cause you to leave the house (unless absolutely necessary)
5) Remember the deceased in prayers, or dua; according to your faith.
Remember, by doing these in unison it will be a sign that we send our collective condolences, comforting the bereaved family and relatives. It is also imperative step towards our own healing, and healing of the nation.
Let us stand together. God bless Tanzania.
Wito kwa wananchi kuomboleza msiba mkubwa wa kitaifa
Sisi wanajamii, kwa huzuni kubwa na moyo mzitotunatambua matukio ya kusikitisha yaliyojitokeza Tanzania, ambapo mauaji ya kikatili yamepoteza maisha ya watu 3000 wasiokuwa na hatia.
Tunatangaza kuwa sisi wanajamii tutakuwa na siku 3 za maombolezo na maombi, na tunawaomba mjumuike nasi.
Ukatili uliofanyika Tanzania umegusa sio tu jamii ya Tanzania bali pia mioyo ya watu duniani kote.
Kwa mshikamano wetu na udugu wetu, na kwa heshima kwa kumbukumbu ya waliopoteza maisha kwa kuuwawa kikatili na kinyama, tunawaomba wananchi wote ( pamoja na rafiki na Jirani zetu)washiriki maombolezi haya kuanzia saa 12 asubuhi ya jumamosi tarehe 8 Novemba, jumapili yote tarehe 9 November, na jumatatu tarehe 10 Novemba had saa 12 jioni.
Tunaomba ushiriki kwa njia zifuatazo:
1) Usitoke nyumbani kwako, kaa ukiomboleza kama ilivyo mila na desturi zetu
2) Vaa vazi linaloashiria kuwa unaomboleza, nguo nyeusi utakayochagua, Pamoja na shati jeusi, t shirt, blausi, gauni, dera, suit nyeusi, hata kitambaa cheusi kichwani.
3) Tunaomba wananchi wote wachukue dakika moja ya ukimya saa sita mchana kila siku ya maombolezo ( jumamosi, jumapili na jumatatu)
4) Tusishiriki sherehe zo zote ( labda kama ni lazima sana) zitakazokufanya utoke nyumbani
5) Kila mmoja wetu awakumbuke marehemu katika sala, maombi , au dua; kila mmoja kwa imani yake
Tukumbuke, tukifanikisha kuonyesha umoja huu ni rambirambi na faraja kwa familia na ndugu walioachwa, na kwa jamii yetu yote.
Tunahimiza tusimame pamoja.
