Watanzania - Wakimbizi Ulaya!

 

Malazi ya Wakimbizi huko Ujerumani

Nimepata kwa E-Mail:

 Hivi karibuni nilikuwa safarini Nchini Ujerumani. Na moja ya mambo niliyoyakuta ni kwamba siku hizi nchini humo kumefunguliwa makambi sehemu mbali mbali ya wakimbizi. Wengi wao ni kutoka nchi za Afrika. Nadhani mnasikia mara kwa mara kuhusu wakimbizi hawa ambao huenda Ulaya kwa njia ya hatari ya Meli. Wengi hufa bahari kwa hali mbaya ya hewa au hata kwa kutoswa.

Nchini Ujerumani nilikuwa katika Jiji la Munich. Nilibahatika kuona moja ya kambi hiyo, ila kwa bahati mbaya sikuruhusiwa kuingia. Niliambiwa kadiri ya orodha yao kuna WATANZINIA WAWILI. Nilipopata habari hiyo nilishituka sana. Hata aliyenipa habari hiyo aliona sikuwa tena katika hali ya kawaida. Ndipo akaniuliza nchini kwenu kuna matatizo gani hata watu wakimbie huko? Hakika sikuwa na jibu. Sababu za ukimbizi nchini mwako zinaweza kuwa za Kisiasa, yaani kutokana na utawala mbovu watu wanaamua kukimbia kuokoa maisha yao. Au hali hali nyingine yoyote inayohatarisha maisha. Mimi ninajiuliza nchini Tanzania kuna hali gani ya kuhatarisha maisha ya watu hadi wakimbie wakaishi kwenye makambi Ugaibuni? Hakika nilisikitika sana.

Ila kwa vyovyote wanazo sababu zao za kimsingi kukimbia na hata kujiorodhesha kama wakimbizi. Wito wangu kwa vijana; hakika wengi wanadhania Ulaya ni sehemu poa. Kuna fedha za kumwaga na maisha huko ni rahisi. Kiukweli ni kujidanganya. Hapa Tanzania unaweza kwenda sokoni ukaokota hata matunda au mbogamboga ukaponea. Ukafanya kibarua chochote kitu hata kufanya usafi kwenye zizi au bustanini au hata kuiba kwa wale wenye ujuzi huo. Kwa wenzetu hayo hayapo. Hakuna cha kibarua. Hakuna mazingira unayoweza kuiba kirahisi. Kila duka na soko kuna makamera. Hali ya hewa ni mbaya. Muda mwingi katika mwaka ni baridi kali. nk. Witoa kwa vijana kama unataka kuteseka maisha yako yote kimbilia Ulaya.

Walioko kule wako makambini. Hawaruhusiwi kusafiri, hawaruhusiwi kufanya kazi ila wanafugwa tu kwa kupatiwa chakula na mahitaji mengine ili waishi. Wanangoja ufanyike utaratibu wa kurejeshwa makwao. Je huko si kupoteza muda na kuhatarisha maisha zaidi. Kinachoniuma zaidi ni je, hapa Tanzania kuna mazingira gani magumu kiasi hicho hata wajiorodheshe kuwa wakimbizi? Kama kuna mwenye maelezo ya sababu ningeshukuru.

Kamanda wa Ujerumani Ajivunia Usalama Bahari ya Hindi

Balozi wa Ujerumani nchini Mh. Egon Kochanke (kushoto) akizungumza na wageni waalikwa wakiwamo viongozi mbalimbali wa Serikali na mabalozi wanaoziwakilisha nchi zao Tanzania kwenye hafla maalum ya kuwakaribisha na kuwapongeza wanajeshi wa kikosi cha wanamaji wa meli ya kivita ya Ujerumani FGS Lübeck, inayofanya doria katika ukanda wa Bahari ya Hindi kama sehemu ya jeshi la kimataifa linaloendesha operesheni Atalanta chini ya kamanda Peter Christian Semrau (kulia) iliyofanyika ndani ya meli hiyo jijini Dar es Salaam mwishoni mwa juma.(Picha zote na Zainul Mzige wa MOblog).

Na Mwandishi wetu

KAMANDA wa meli ya kivita ya Ujerumani FGS Lübeck, inayofanya doria katika ukanda wa Bahari ya Hindi kama sehemu ya jeshi la kimataifa linaloendesha operesheni Atalanta, Peter Christian Semrau, amesema jumuiya ya kimataifa imepata mafanikio makubwa kwa kuwezesha njia inayotumika sana na meli kuwa salama.

Akizungumza katika mahojiano ndani ya meli hiyo ambayo imetia nanga katika bandari ya Dar es Salaam, Kamanda Semrau alisema kwamba kwa mwaka huu hapakuwepo na tukio kubwa ambalo limetikisa eneo hilo la Pwani ya Pembe ya Afrika inayopakana na Somalia na Yemen.

Alisema kuanzia shughuli za kimataifa kukabili uharamia na ujambazi baharini kuanza mwaka 2009 kumekuwepo na ushindi wa kimataifa kutokana na kuendelea kupungua kwa matukio katika eneo hilo ambapo awali ilikuwa ni tishio kubwa.

Alisema pamoja na kupungua kwa matukio ya kijambazi na utekaji nyara kazi ambayo inatarajiwa kufanywa mwakani ni kuhakikisha kwamba mataifa yanayopakana na bahari ya Hindi yanawezeshwa kujilinda yenyewe dhidi ya matukio ya baharini.

Meli hiyo ambayo inafanya doria kuanzia kaskazini mwa Afrika hadi Kusini imetia nanga Dar es salaam ikitokea Madagascar ambako nako ilipata mapokezi makubwa.

Operesheni Atalanta inaendeshwa na vikosi vya Umoja wa Ulaya vikilinda eneo la bahari ambalo lina shughuli nzito kwa meli za biashara

Meli hiyo ambayo itakuwa katika operesheni hadi februari mwakani itapokewa kazi hiyo na meli nyingine ya FGS Bayern.

Naye Balozi wa Ujerumani nchini Mh. Egon Kochanke akizungumza na waandishi wa habari akiwakaribisha katika melivita hiyo alisema kwamba amefurahishwa na mchango wa taifa lake katika kuhakikisha pwani ya Bahari ya Hindi upande wa Afrika inakua salama na watu wanapata huduma zinazotakiwa.

Alisema moja ya kazi kubwa ya meli hiyo ni kusindikiza meli zenye vyakula au huduma mbalimbali za kijamii kwa mataifa ambayo yanashida ili kupunguza maumivu.

Alisema pamoja na meli hiyo kutia nanga Dar es Salaam kuonesha ushirikiano wa kutosha kati ya taifa lake na Tanzania, anatarajia mwakani mahusiano ya Tanzania na Ujerumani yatazidi kuimarika hasa katika nyanza za hifadhi na maendeleo ya jamii.

Aidha balozi huyo alisema kwamba taifa lake linaongeza fedha zaidi kwa ajili ya uanzishaji wa mamlaka ya wanyamapori nchini Tanzania kwa lengo la kuifanya iwe na nguvu na uwezo wa kulinda wanyama hao.

Pia alisema inafikiria namna ya kufanya na meli ya MV Liemba ambayo alisema ni moja ya vielelezo hai vilivyopo vyenye maana kubwa katika uhusiano wa Tanzania na Ujerumani.

Alisema meli hiyo inafaa kufanyiwa ukarabati ili kuweza kutoa huduma kandoni mwa ziwa Tanganyika.

Aidha alisifu ukuaji wa demokrasia nchini Tanzania hasa kwa kuzingatia uhuru uliopo wa vyombo vya habari na majadiliano yenye afya bungeni yenye lengo la kujenga taifa lenye nguvu.

Aidha alisema Ujerumani itaendelea kukuza uhusiano na Tanzania ambayo ni nanga ya usalama kwa mataifa ya Afrika Mashariki na ukanda wa Bahari ya Hindi kwa upande wa Afrika.

Simu ya Kiongozi wa Ujerumani Wadakuliwa na Majasusi!

Uwongo mbaya, wadau wakubwa wengi wa makampuni makubwa makubwa Marekani wameambiwa  wasisafiri na aina fulani ya simu na laptop. Wanasema kuwa eti wakifika Uwanja wa Ndege tu, pale majasusi wamekwisha copy kila kitu kilichokuwemo humo tena katika sekunde chache!

Chansela wa Ujerumani Angela Merkel amempigia simu Rais wa Marekani Barak Obama baada ya kupata taarifa kuwa Idara ya Ujasusi ya Marekani imekuwa ikifanya udakuzi wa mawasiliano ya simu zake za mkononi.

Msemaji wa serikali ya Ujerumani, Steffen Seibert amesema serikali ya Ujerumani inahitaji uthibitisho wa taarifa hizo na kusema kwamba kitendo hicho ni uvunjifu wa uaminifu.

Naye msemaji wa ikulu ya White House, Jay Carney amewaambia waandishi wa habari kwamba, Bw. Obama amemhakikishia Bi. Merkel kwamba, Marekani haikuwahi kusikiliza mawasiliano ya simu zake na haitafanya hivyo wala kwa siku za usoni japo haikufafanua kama mawasiliano Bi Merkel yaliyahi kufuatiliwa.

Wakati huo Umoja wa Ulaya unaanza mkutano wake mjini Brussels nchini Ubelgiji huku kukiwa na malalamiko kuhusu majasusi wa Marekani kudaiwa kuingilia mawasiliano ya simu. Chanzo: BBC Swahili

Mh. Zitto Kabwe Ziarani Ulaya

PRESS RELEASE

Ndugu Zitto ziarani Ulaya

Waziri Kivuli wa Fedha na Uchumi, Naibu Kiongozi wa Upinzani Bungeni na Mbunge wa Kigoma Kaskazini ndugu Zitto Zuberi Kabwe ameanza ziara ya kikazi nchini Ujerumani ambapo atahudhuria na kuhutubia Mkutano mkubwa wa masuala ya ushirikiano wa kiuchumi kati ya Ujerumani na Africa. Mkutano huo “Economic Conference: Commitment to Africa Initiative” utafanyika Jijini Berlin kuanzia tarehe 9 – 11 Desemba 2012 na umeandaliwa na Wizara ya Ushirikiano wa Kimaendeleo ya Serikali ya Ujerumani.

Katika ufunguzi wa Mkutano huo ndugu Zitto atatoa mada kuhusu mgongano wa maslahi kati ya Kampuni binafsi na Jamii ambapo ataongelea suala zima la makampuni makubwa ya kimataifa yanavyonyonya rasilimali za Afrika bila kuwajibika kulipa kodi na kuendeleza jamii zinazozunguka shughuli zao. Atazungumzia pia mitaji kiduchu inayokuja Afrika na fedha nyingi inayotoroshwa Afrika kupitia rushwa, ukwepaji kodi na wizi wa rasilimali. Afrika inapoteza zaidi ya dola za kimarekani 583 bilioni kila mwaka kutokana na utoroshaji wa fedha unaofanywa na makampuni ya kimataifa kwa kushirikiana na baadhi ya viongozi wa Afrika. Hata hivyo Afrika inapokea takribani dola za Kimarekani 80 bilioni tu kwa mwaka kutokana na Uwekezaji (FDI) na Misaada (foreign Aid). Tanzania ni moja ya nchi inayopokea misaada mingi kutoka nje na moja ya nchi ambayo rasilimali zake zinatoroshwa na baadhi ya viongozi wake kutorosha fedha na kuzihifadhi kwenye mabenki ya Ulaya kama Uswiss.

Mnamo tarehe 11 Desemba ndugu Zitto atakuwa kwenye jukwaa moja na Waziri wa Maendeleo wa Ujerumani kuzungumzia namna bora ya kushirikiana kati ya Ujerumani na nchi za Kiafrika. Miongoni mwa mapendekezo ya Zitto ni kuondokana na mfumo wa sasa wa ushirikiano wa misaada na badala yake kuwe na ushirikiano wa kujengeana uwezo ili kila nchi iweze kuhimili maendeleo yake yenyewe.

Katika ziara hii Zitto atakutana na Mawaziri Wakuu wa majimbo ya Nord Rhein Westphalen jimbo ambalo limefanikiwa sana katika vita dhidi ya ukwepaji kodi unaotokana na raia wa Ujerumani kuficha fedha kwenye mabenki ya Uswiss na wa jimbo la Lower Saxony kwa ajili ya mazungumzo kuhusu ukarabati wa Meli ya Liemba na kujenga mahusiano kati ya Mkoa huu na Mkoa wa Kigoma pia kati ya mji wa PapenBurg na Manispaa ya Kigoma.

Zitto anatarajiwa kutembelea baadhi ya nchi nyingine za Ulaya na kukutana na watu mbalimbali katika kuimarisha mtandao wa kimataifa dhidi ya utoroshaji wa fedha kutoka Afrika (illicit money transfer). Pia atakutana na watu binafsi wenye ujuzi na weledi katika masuala haya ya kupambana na watoroshaji wa fedha. Zitto anataraji kurudi nchini mnamo tarehe 16 Desemba 2012. Kwa namna itaakavyowezekana umma utapewa taarifa kuhusu ziara hii kupitia akaunti ya twitter na facebook ya ndugu Zitto. Pia mada zote atakazowasilisha zitawekwa kwenye blogu ya zittokabwe.com kila itakapowezekana.

Waziri Kivuli wa Fedha na Naibu Kiongozi wa Upinzani Bungeni anawatakia Watanzania wote kila la kheri katika Sikukuu ya Uhuru wa Tanzania Bara. Utu, Uzalendo, Uadilifu na Uwajibikaji ni silaha muhimu sana za kujenga Taifa lenye heshima na jamii ya watu wenye fursa za kuendeleza maisha yao kwa haki na amani. Tutimize wajibu wetu katika kuijenga Tanzania tuitakayo kwa ajili yetu na kwa ajili ya vizazi vijavyo.

Germany Willing to Support Revival of Central Railway


By Khalfan Said

28th September

The German government is ready to support the reviving of the ailing central railway line, the ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany, Klaus Peter Brandes has revealed.

Speaking at the embassy in Dar es Salaam yesterday, during the questions and answers session at a news brief on the upcoming second African Logistics Conference, (ALC), the envoy said, “If the government of Tanzania thinks that Germany can participate in reviving central railway line, we are ready,” he affirmed.

The envoy also said his government has been supporting many projects like water and electricity, as those were the projects picked by the government of Tanzania to receive assistance from German. “So far the government of Tanzania has not yet asked for German’s support on the re-built central line,” he clarified.

The Central Line (formerly named by German as: Tanganjikabahn or Mittellandbahn) was the second railway project coming into existence in the colony of the then German East Africa after the Usambara Railway, it runs west from Dar es Salaam to Kigoma via Dodoma and another route leads to Mwanza.

“I would be more than happy to see the minister for transport, Dr Harrison Mwakyembe when he comes back from Germany where he went to get the German experience on railway sector.” Ambassador Klaus said.

Currently Dr Mwakyembe is on a work trip in German.

Speaking about the ALC event which will take place later next month in Dar es Salaam, Ambassador Klaus said, the conference comes in a crucial moment as Sub-Sahara Africa faces some unique opportunities as well as challenges in terms of logistics and supply chain managers and humanitarian logisticians in particular.
Briefing the media on the aim of the conference, Dr. Jennifer Schwarz, from Swiss based Kuehne Foundation, said in addition to traditional logistics topics like “Railway and Development” the conference will cover mainly subjects like, capacity building in humanitarian logistics, food security and distribution in Eastern Africa.

The conference that will take place on October 4 to 5 this year has been organized by the foundation and the National Institute of Transport, (NIT), with support from various stake holders including the German embassy.

On his part, NIT director general, Elifadhili Mgonja, said the conference will bring together experts across the globe in railway transportation and humanitarian logistics. “The main objective is to share among participants the expertise, experiences and intelligent planning tools on how best the Tanzania railway sub sector could be molded to serve better the individual country’s economy.” He said.

The history of railways in Tanzania goes way back in time during the German colonial era in the early 1880s’ the first ever railway line in East Africa was built by the Germans from Tanga.

Bayume Mohamed Hussein (1904-1944) Aliuwawa na Hitler

Bayume Mohamed Husen 1904-1944

Je, mmewahi kumsikia Bayume Mohamed Husen/Hussein? Alikuwa ni mcheza sinema na askari wakati wa Vita Kuu ya dunia ya kwanza. Enzi zile za Ukoloni wa Mjerumani watoto waliruhusiwa kuwa askari. Aliondoka Tanganyika kwenda Ujerumani. kule alifundisha Kiswahili  na pia aliigiza kama Askari katika sinema kadhaa za kijerumani. Aliuwawa katika kambi ya meteso (Concentration Camp). Hitler alizijenga maaluma kwa ajili ya kuangamiza wayehudi, wasio wazungu na viwete. Weusi wengi walitolewa vizazi ili wasizae enzi za Hitler.  Walikuwa wanaamini mtu mweusi si binadamu kamili

***************************************************************
Bayume Mohamed Husen was born (Feb 22 1904) in Dar es Salaam, German East Africa, now Tanzania, and died (Nov 24th 1944) in Sachsenhausen concentration camp. (birth name: Mahjub bin Adam Mohamed). He was an African-German Askari and actor. Husen served in World War I in the protection force of German East Africa as a child soldier. After the war and the end of German colonial rule, he could not seem to connect to the service of Great Britain, which had Tanganyika as a "mandate". Temporarily Husen worked in Zanzibar as a teacher and as a "boy", as a servant to British and German ships. In 1925 he was hired on to a ship of the German East African line as a waiter.


In 1929 he went to Berlin to demand unpaid wages of his father's and his. The request was rejected by the Foreign Office on the grounds that the fund had already been settled. Attempting to return him to Africa, Husen opposed and instead he settled in Berlin. He worked as a waiter in the "Wild West Bar" at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin from April 1930 until his dismissal in 1935.

From 1931 to 1941 Husen was also at the "foreign studies department," of the University of Berlin as a Swahili Language instructer/assistant. He instructed officials who were to be prepared for the planned subsequent recovery of the German colonies by the German Reich. For a relatively low salary, he worked under the founder of the German African Studies, a former missionary Diedrich Westermann.

In April 1941 he resigned his duties at the university, apparently because of the humiliating treatment by a professor. In January 1933, three days before the appointment of Hitler as Chancellor, he married Mary Schwandner. In March 1933 they bore a son, Ahmed Adam Mohamed Husen. Another daughter, Anne Marie Husen, was born in September 1936. Both of the children died during childhood.

Between 1934 and 1941, Bayume Mohamed Husen had starred in at least 23 German film productions. He had his first role in the movie titled "The Riders of German East Africa". In the movie "To New Shores" Husen 1937 stood alongside the main actors as an extra and also with small speaking roles. He occasionally took on the role of a consultant in the language of Swahili. His biggest role was also his last: Between August 1940 and February 1941 Husen played in the Nazi propaganda film, "Carl Peters" as Ramadan, a guide and interpreter of the "colonial pioneer," Carl Peters.

In August 1941 he was arrested by the Gestapo( "Secret State Police") because of a relationship with a white woman (Aryan). Since there was no legal basis for a conviction - for blacks, there was indeed a ban on marriage, but no sex ban was with "Aryan women" - he transferred to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Shortly thereafter, his wife filed for divorce, probably under pressure from the Nazi authorities. After 3 years in the camp Husen died in November 1944 as a result of bad prison conditions.
