Aliyekuwa Rais wa Cuba , Fidel Castro Afariki Dunia

Rais Castro na Mwalimu Julius Nyerere mwaka 1977

Aliyekuwa Rais wa Cuba, Fidel Castro, amefariki dunia akiwa na umri wa miaka 90.  Castro alifariki usiku wa kuamkia leo.  Mdogo wake, Rais Raoul Castro aliwatangazia waCuba kuwa Castro amefariki saa nne na nusu usiku.  Alisema kuwa maiti ya kaka yake itachomwa moto leo (cremation) huko Cuba. Kutakuwa na Misa ya kumkumbuka  Taifa la Cuba itakuwa na siku kadhaa za kuomboleza.

Rais Raoul Castro alivyowantangazia wananchi:

The commander in chief of the Cuban revolution died at 22:29 hours this evening (03:29 GMT Saturday)," he said. "Towards victory, always!" he added, using a revolutionary slogan.

Marehemu Castro anakumbukwa kwa kuwa Dikteta. Alipindua serikali ya Cuba mwaka 1959, na hakutoka madarakani hadi mwaka 2006.  Alimwachia madaraka mdoo wake Raoul.  Castro alifanya mengi kusaidi nchi za Afrika ikiwemo Tanzania. Nchi ya Marekani waliweka vizuizi vingi juu ya Cuba ili kujaribu kumkomesha Castro lakini walishindwa.

Rest in Peace Sharon Jones

The Late Singer Sharon Jones 1956-2016

   NEW YORK (AP) - Sharon Jones, the stout powerhouse who shepherded a soul revival despite not finding stardom until middle age, has died. She was 60.

   Jones' representative, Judy Miller Silverman, said Jones died Friday at a Cooperstown, New York, hospital after battling pancreatic cancer. Loved ones and members of her retro-soul band, the Dap-Kings, were among those surrounding her, Silverman said.

   The story of Jones' battle with cancer, first diagnosed in 2013, was told in Barbara Kopple's documentary, "Miss Sharon Jones!" released earlier this year. Though she triumphantly returned to the stage in 2015 after the cancer went into remission, Jones late last year announced its return. Still, Jones mounted another comeback with the defiant single "I'm Still Here" and hit the road again this summer with the Dap-Kings even while undergoing chemotherapy.

   "You got to be brave," a debilitated Jones told the Associated Press in July , in between tour stops. "I want to use the time that I have. I don't want to spend it all laid up, wishing I had done that gig."

   Jones' death was immediately noted on social media and throughout the music industry. The British producer Mark Ronson, who brought the Dap-Kings in to play backing band to Amy Winehouse on her breakthrough album, "Back to Black," said, "Sharon Jones had one of the most magnificent, gut-wrenching voices of anyone in recent time."

   The youngest of six children, Sharon Lafaye Jones was born on May 4, 1956, in Augusta, Georgia. Her family lived in nearby North Augusta, South Carolina, across the Savannah River from the birthplace of James Brown. Jones, who would grow into a dynamic, show-stopping performer, grew up idolizing the Godfather of Soul and would later be frequently tagged as "the female James Brown."

   But for decades, such a fate was unimaginable. On "I'm Still Here," she sings of being turned down by music executives for being "too short, too fat, too black and too old."

   After growing up in Brooklyn (her mother moved to escape an abusive husband), Jones regularly sang gospel at her church, performed for years in a wedding band and sang back-up for various session bands. To make ends meet, she worked as a corrections officer at the Rikers Island jail complex and was a bank security guard.

   But in one recording session, she caught the attention of Gabriel Roth and Philip Lehman. The two, blown away by Jones' fiery voice, made her the lead singer of their newly formed Dap-Kings and launched the Bushwick, Brooklyn-based label, Daptone Records, around her unlikely star power.

   They debuted with 2002's "Dap-Dippin' With Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings," released when Jones was 46. Three more albums followed in the ensuing decade, and two compilations. Standouts included a soulful rendition of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" and the single "100 Days, 100 Nights," in which she belts: "100 days, 100 nights to know a man's heart/ And a little more, before, he knows his own."

   The sound, backed by walls of horns and tightly guided by bandleader Roth, was propelled by Jones' grit and ferocity. For her, soul and survival went hand in hand. Her torrid performances began, like Brown's, with a prolonged introduction from her bandmates.

   Jones never disparaged the better-selling British soul revival led by Ronson and Winehouse that coincided with her rise. But she wasn't shy about claiming to be the more genuine article.

   "We've been there, and we're still doin' this," Jones told New York magazine in 2010. "In another few years, what are they gonna be doin'?"

   Their sixth album, "Give the People What They Want" earned Jones her first Grammy nomination for best R&B album. Their last album, "It's a Holiday Soul Party," was released last year.

   Kopple witnessed the charismatic Jones light up hospital wards while undergoing chemo. "When people are around or there's an audience, that gives her fuel and she forgets her pain," the director said ahead of the release of "Miss Sharon Jones!"

   Even while suffering the effects of her cancer and its treatments, the workmanlike Jones toured relentlessly

   "It's therapy," Jones said of performing in July. "I know I need rest and sleep. But I want to work and that is our job."

 Tanzania Finance Minister Dies at Age 63 After Long Illness 

By Eric Ombok and Alawi Masare  

Tanzanian Finance Minister William Mgimwa died yesterday at a South African hospital after a long unspecified illness, the East African nation’s presidency said.
Mgimwa, 63, was appointed in May 2012 in a cabinet reorganization, following a report by the national audit office that showed the misuse of public funds, according to the Dar es Salaam-based, state-run Daily News newspaper. Last year, Mgimwa announced the country plans to secure an international credit rating in the 12 months through June, ahead of a Eurobond sale.
“I do not have enough words to describe my shock and sadness following reports of the death of Mr. Mgimwa,” said Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete, who visited Mgimwa twice in the hospital, according to the statement.
Mgimwa, a member of parliament since 2010, is a former principal at the Bank of Tanzania’s training institute and he worked at the National Bank of Commerce from 1980 to 2000.
Deputy Finance Minister Saada Mkuya Salum said she is acting as finance minister, a role she’s held since Mgimwa was admitted to the Pretoria-based Kloof Mediclinic. She described Mgimwa as a team leader and a fast learner on the job.
“The nation has lost one of its spirited servants,” Salum said today in a phone interview.
Mgimwa saw the value in spurring investment and promoting stability to help African nations develop, South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan said today in an e-mailed statement.
Tanzania is sub-Saharan Africa’s fourth-largest gold producer, after South Africa, Ghana and Mali, and it holds the world’s only known deposit of tanzanite. The country is a natural gas producer and has the largest gas volumes in East Africa after Mozambique.

Accra, Ghana (CNN) -- Thousands of mourners gathered Friday in the West African nation of Ghana to ay their respects to the late President John Atta Mills, as his funeral was held in the capital, Accra.

Mills died last month at age 68, prompting outpourings of grief from many Ghanaians.

Ghanaians from all walks of life, many dressed in the traditional black and red of mourning, thronged Independence Square in Accra to witness the ceremony, in a show of national unity.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was among the many foreign dignitaries who traveled to Ghana for the funeral.

Ghana in mourning after president dies Ghana's Deputy Minister of Information Samuel Okudzeto-Ablakwa said 67 foreign delegations were represented from all over the world.

More than 15 heads of state, including almost all the West African leaders, attended the ceremony, which ended with the release of 100 doves into the air.

After the ceremony, the casket was laid to rest near Osu Castle, the seat of government where Mills had lived and worked since he became president.

The late president's body was laid out for public viewing Wednesday and Thursday. Some of the visiting heads of state took turns to file past the body Friday morning.

Giant screens were set up around the country for those who could not travel to Accra to watch the ceremony.

One Ghanaian mourner at the funeral said he prayed for the sense of unity that has followed Mills' death to continue.

"I'm confident we will have an even more peaceful election this December because most Ghanaians I have spoken to say they enjoy the atmosphere and will urge the politicians to keep it that way", he said.

Mills died suddenly at a military hospital a few hours after becoming ill, his Chief of Staff John Henry Martey Newman said in a statement at the time. The president had denied rumors about his health for months before his death.

John Dramani Mahama, formerly Ghana's vice president, was sworn in as the country's new president within hours of his death on July 24.

Taking office, he paid tribute to Mills as a "prince of peace" who "brought a distinctive insight into Ghanaian politics."

Mills, a former law professor and a tax expert, was Ghana's vice president from 1997 to 2000.

He became president in 2009, narrowly winning a runoff vote, having unsuccessfully run for the top office in 2000 and 2004.

Before his political career, he taught at the University of Ghana and also was a visiting lecturer at Temple University in Pennsylvania and Leiden University in the Netherlands.

Mills' death came several days after he celebrated his 68th birthday. He had said he would run for re-election in December.

U.S. President Barack Obama met with Mills when he visited Ghana in July 2009. Obama praised the country as a model for democracy and stability when Mills visited Washington this year, saying that it had become "a wonderful success story economically on the continent."

British Prime Minister David Cameron described Mills as "a tireless defender of democracy in West Africa and across the continent."

Part of a former British colony, Ghana was among the first African countries to gain independence, in 1957. It endured a series of coups before a military dictator, Jerry Rawlings, took power in 1981. Rawlings led Ghana through a transition to democracy about 10 years later.

Rais Barack Obama wa Marekani alitembelea Rais Mills nchini Ghana mwaka 2009
