The Speaker of ECOWAS Parliament, Senator Ike Ekweremadu has condemned the military mutiny in Mali, saying it is highly condemnable and totally unacceptable.
Senator Ekweremadu who reiterated that the days of military and unconstitutional takeover of power in any part of West Africa were over enjoined all members of the Malian armed forces to restrict themselves to their constitutional duties.
“This political development in Mali at a time the sub-region has achieved democratic governance and substantial regional stability at great human and material costs is an assault on the collective will and sensibilities of the peoples of West Africa and therefore totally condemnable and unacceptable”, he said.
The Speaker who threw the weight of the Community Parliament behind the position of the ECOWAS Commission on the political situationthat “ECOWAS position on Zero Tolerance to any form of forceful takeover or disruption of democratic governance in the sub-region will never be compromised as such would amount to a grievous setback for regional integration and development.”
Ekweremadu who also doubles as the Deputy President of Nigerian Senateurged the Authorities of Heads of State of ECOWAS, the African Union, United Nations and members of the international community in general to rally around Mali to defend the nation’s fledging democracy.
He expressed confidence that the committed efforts by the ECOWAS and the African Union would lead to a peaceful resolution of the rebellion in the north of Mali, urging the mutineers to “return to the barracks and not aggravate the fragile peace in the country”.
Recalling the role of the Community Parliament to protecting democratic governance in Niger Republic and the Republic of Guinea, the Speaker assured that the Parliament was observing developments in the West African country and would take further appropriate steps as events demand.

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania - With at least four people reported killed in flash floods, Tanzania's meteorological agency is asking resident's of the country's Indian Ocean coastal areas to brace up for more downpours and flooding. The flash floods followed a heavy rain that hit this commercial capital of the East African country since early Tuesday. Meanwhile, floods have left trails of destroyed properties in slum areas of the city and cut off road links in many suburbs, causing traffic jams throughout the day.
According to Tanzania Meteorological Agency (TMA) Director General Agnes Kijazi, the downpour, which still pounded the coastal belt Wednesday, was due to a pressure build-up over the Indian Ocean.
The rain started with a very strong wind and thunderbolts that blew up some electricity transformers, leaving parts of the city without electricity.
“The situation is likely to last for at least two days,” said Kijazi.
The Police Force and the Tanzania People’s Defence Forces have joined hands, using helicopters in a search and rescue exercise within Dar es Salaam and surrounding areas.
Government officials blame some of the victims in low-lying areas for inviting the disaster after being warned several times to move to higher level ground.
“We have announced many times that people should not construct houses or stay in valleys, but most of them ignored the directive and this is the result,” said Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner Said Mecky Sadick.
December is usually part of the dry season that runs through to March, when the long rainy season sets in.
(Pichani Ukaguzi wa Gwaride Mlale JKT Songea - Picha kwa hisani ya Michuzi Blog)
Naona, kuna 'Anonymous' fulani kagusia hii swala ya yalionipata nikiwa jeshini JKT. Watu wengi wamenitumia e-mail kuulizia details. Nimeamua kuibandika tena. Ni posti ya kutoka April 2006. Lakini mjue enzi za JKT, wasichana wengi walinyanyaswa kijinsia, mimi nilikuwa na bahati maana nafahamu wasichana waliokuwa gang raped. Dada fulani, alimkubali afande, alivyomaliza kaita wenzake kwa kusema, "Njooni, Mboga hii hapa!" Yule dada hakuweza kutembea vizuri kama wmezi baada ya hapo!
Nilipokuwa Jeshi ya Kujenga Taifa (JKT) karibu nibakwe na afande Fulani (jina nahifadhi). Lazima niseme kuwa katika kipindi hicho wanaume wengi waliona makambi ya JKT kama ‘buffet’ ya wasichana. Si maafande wa jeshi tu, bali hata viongozi wa serikali walikuwa wanapitia makambi ya JKT kula tani yao!
Mimi nilikuwa Masange JKT, Tabora. Wakati huo huyo jamaa alikuwa ni Kepiteni wa JKT. Nadhani alidhania kwa vile yeye ni kepiteni basi alikuwa na haki ya kutembea na yeyote aliyemtaka. Kwangu aligonga ukuta! Bila shaka alikuwa hajawahi ‘kunyimwa’ mpaka siku hiyo alipokutana na mimi.
Miaka baada ya tukio nikiwa nafanya kazi Daily News mara nyingi nilikuwa napishana naye Posta Mpya. Basi ananisemesha, na mimi namnunia halafu napita zangu kimya bila kumjibu kwa hasira. Siku moja kanisimamisha kaniambia, "Chemi, naomba msamaha, nisemahe tafadhali, kweli nilikukosea!” Aliongeza kuwa miaka mingi imepita hivyo sina sababu ya kuwa na hasira naye! Na mimi nilimjibu, “Mshenzi sana wewe!” nikaenda zangu.
Ikapita kama mwaka mwiingine. Jamaa anaendelea kunisalimia kila nikimpita njiani na mimi kwa uchungu bado nikashindwa kusema kitu. Basi nikafikiria alichoniambia Posta Mpya. Lakini niliona kama jambo hilo linamsumbua. Na nikasema kama Bwana Yesu aliweza kusamehe watu kwa madhambi yao kwa nini mimi nisimsamehe. Basi baada ya hapo ikiwa nikimwona na akinisalimia naitika na naendelea zangu na nikaona kidogo hata yeye alikuwa na raha.
Lakini bado najiuliza kama kitendo chake kilimsumbua miaka na miaka kama ilivyonisumbua mimi.Unauliza ilikuaje mpaka nikajikuta kwenye situation ya kubakwa. Au mnasema nilitaka mwenyewe. Ngoja niwaelezee ilivyokuwa.
Nilikuwa mhudumu Officer’s Mess, mpishi na msafishaji. Huyo jamaa alikuwa ni mgeni kutoka Makao Makuu ya JKT Dar es Salaam. Kwa kweli sikutaka kufanya kazi pale Mess lakini tulichaguliwa special na Matron, mimi kwa vile niijua kupika vyakula mbalimbali hasa za kizungu. Lakini uzuri wa hiyo kazi ni kuwa uanambulia mabaki ya vyakula (leftovers), na mara nyingine kulikuwa hakuna.
Basi huyo Afande alikaa kambini wiki kadhaa. Katika kumhudumia tukawa tunaongea na mimi nikawa namheshimu kama kaka vile. Wala sikusikia mapenzi yoyote kwake. Basi jioni fulani, kanialika chumbani kwake kunywa soda na biskuti na kwa Maongezi zaidi. Sasa kama ulienda jeshi unajua njaa kali unayokuwa nayo. Nikaenda, kanikaribisha vizuri, nilipewa soda na tukawa tunaongea. Basi nikaona mwenzangu anabadilika ghafla! Mara ananikumbatia kwa nguvu, na kunibusu na mengine. Nikajaribu kuaga lakini jamaa hakuniachia. Baada ya ku-plead naye aniachie, kaniachia. Kaomba msamaha na kaniomba niendelee kukaa nimalize hizo soda alizoninulia.
Kama mjinga nikamwamini, nikakaa nakunywa hizo soda. Tukaendelea na Maongezi, kukaa kidogo huyo kanirukia, najaribu kusimama huyo, kanivuta na kuniangusha kitandani! Mimi saa hizo nikawa naogopa kabisa nia yake!Kaniambia eti, “ukipiga makelele najua nitasema nini! Nyamaza! Huna sababu ya kunikatalia!” LOH! Kanizaba kibao! Nikamwuliza kwa nini anaifanyia hivyo, na mimi nilikuwa namwona kama kaka yangu!Hapo sasa ikaniingia. Nabakwa! Loh!
Nilimpiga mangumi na mateke lakini jamaa alikuwa na nguvu huyo kachana chupi yangu! Baada ya hapo, jamaa kashika miguu yangu huko anafoka kwa sauti kama vile anatoa amri “panua miguu! PANUA MIGUU!” Huko katoa ume wake uliyosimama kwenye suruali! Basi kuona sipanui jamaa kaongeza makofi na kafanikiwa kupanua miguu yangu! Kuona kafanikiwa kupanua huyo kajaribu kupenya. Ilipogusa kwangu nilipiga kelele cha kufa! Nikasema, “Nakuufaaaa!”
Heh! Ghafla jamaa kaniachia kaniambia niende. Alisema, “Nimeigusa na ume wangu, unatosha!” Nenda zako! Na ukimwambia mtu najua nitasema nini!”Loh nilikimbia bwenini na giza lile la Masange huko nalia. Wenzangu wananiuliza vipi, nikashindwa niseme nini! Kwanza niliona haya! Fikiria, niliona haya (shame)!Kesho yake nikaenda dispensary na kujiandikisha mgonjwa. Sikwenda kazini Officer's Mess bali nililala bwenini.
Siku iliyofuatia huyo Afande mshenzi kapita bwenini kwetu kaulizia hali yangu, na mimi huko natetemeka kwa woga nikashindwa niseme nini. Alininunulia Orange squash na biskuti na kuzileta bwenini. Sitasahau alivyonitazama! Ilikuwa kama vile anapanga jinsi gani atanipata. Baada ya hapo alimwopoa msichana mwingine na huyo alimkubali kabisa. Akawa analala kabisa huko Officer’s Mess. Hakuna anayemsumbua wakijua ni bibi wa Afisa. Basi, siku za yule jamaa kukaa kambini zikaisha, na yule binti alienda naye Tabora mjini kwa siku kadhaa. Halafu jamaa karudi zake DSM. Yule binti karudi zake kambini! Kumbe alienda bila pass. Alidhania kwa vile yuko na mkubwa hana haja ya pass. Na yule Afande ndo kaondoka kimoja! Maafande waliobakia wacha wamtese huyo binti alivyorudi kambini! Walimtesa kwa Extra drill na mengine mpaka ikabidi Military Police waombe wakuu wamsamehe la sivyo atakufa. Raha yake iliishia kwa suluba! Sijui yule binti alidhania jamaa atamwoa! Kwa nini alimkubali yule mshenzi.
Anyway, kila mtu na vyake. Alivyotoka kwenye suluba tulimwuguza! Siku haizkupita na mimi nilitolewa kazi Officer’s Mess na kupelekwa kwenye kikosi cha Ujenzi na lazima nisema hapo nilifurahi sana. Basi miaka ilipita. Mimi nilikuwa mwandishi wa habari Daily News, tena nilijenga jina. Sasa nikawa napishana na yule jamaa huko kapandishwa cheo na yuko JWTZ. Jamaa anajaribu kunisalimia na mimi napita zangu kimya, namnunia kabisa.
Nilimwona mshenzi, mnyama, na kila kitu kibaya ndo ilikuwa yeye! Angefanikiwa kuingiza na kunimwagia uchafu wake ningejiona mchafu mpaka leo! Miaka kama 20 imepita sasa na bado nina uchungu naye.Jamani nyie wanaume nawaambia kubaka kinaathari zake kwa wanawake. Unataka raha ya dakika na unamwachia mwenzio na uchungu wa maisha! Wengine mpaka wanakuwa wagonjwa wa akili.
Kwa nini nimeamua kuzungumzia kubakwa kwangu hapa, ni kwa sababu naona wasichana wengi wanabakwa, halafu wanaamua kunyamaza kimya. Kisa wakienda polisi na hospitali wanahofia kuambiwa ni Malaya au walitaka wenyewe! Hata mwamanke mwenzako anaweza kukufokea kuwa ulitaka mwenyewe. Tanzania, wanaume walikuwa na usemi wao kuhusu wanawake na ngono. Walisema eti ukimwomba mwanamke halafu akijibu ndiyo, manake ndiyo atafanya. Akisema labda, manake atafanya, akisema hapana, manake hapana. Lakini jamani tendo si inakuwa tamu kama wote mmekubali? Na kama angefanikiwa kuingiza si angeniumiza sana!
Wengine wanasema ningemshitaki. Je, ningemshitaki ingekuaje? Kwanza jeshini mimi ningepewa Extra Drill mpaka niumie au kufungwa jela ya jeshi iliyojaa maji na mbu kusudi niteswe. Kumbuka ilikuwa Tanzania na yule alikuwa ni Kepiteni wakati huo na mimi nilikuwa Private. Hakuna ambaye angekuwa tayari kunisikia zaidi ya wenzangu maPrivate, na yeye alijua hivyo. SHENZI TAIPU!
Sasa hivi Marekani kuna uhaba wa wanajeshi wa kujitolea. Sasa wanavutia wahamiaji ili wajiunge kwa kuwapa uraia haraka wakijiunga na jeshi...Asante Bush.
Ila ukijiunga usisahau unaweza kupelekwa kwenye vita Iraq au Afghanistan na sasa Libya halafu ukarudi kwenye sanduku. Ndugu zako watapata cheti chako cha Uraia (post humus).
Hivi Jeshi la Wananchi Tanzania inashindwa kuhifadhi mabomu? Mwaka juzi mabomu yao yalilipuka Mbagala. Leo tunasikia yamelikpuka kambi la Gongo la Mboto. Hao wanaotunza mabomu wanafundishwa kuytatunza kweli? Au ni sabotage? AuTutasikia imekuaje miezi kadhaa baada ya Tume kuundwa na kutoa ripoti yake.
Mwaka 1984, nilipokuwa Masange JKT Tabora, kambi ilipewa ruhusa na Makao Makuu kutumia baruti (Dynamite) kutishia simba waliokuwa wanatusumbua. Hao simba wala watu waliua watu kadhaa katika kijiji cha jirani.
Haya, walipewa ruhusa na walikuwa walizitegesha. Aliyekuwa msimamizi alikuwa ni Luteni Usu. Sasa akatokea kuruta/private mwenye ujuzi na dynamite. Alikuwa mhandisi uraiani. Aliwaonya kuwa walikata utambi mfupi mno. Luteni usu alisema kuwa anajua anachofanya, na huyo 'msomi' anayamaze. Kuona wanakaribia kuwasha yule Kuruta alikimbia, waliwasha na walaiokuwepo walilipuliwa! Hakuna aliyakufa lakini jamaa moja alikatika mkono, Lusteni Usu alipofuka na wengine walipata majeraha kadhaa.
Hapa USA wahamiaji wengi wanajiunga na jeshi la Marekani kusudi wapate Green Card, uraia na hela za kulipia masomo. Kuna hata waBongo waliojiunga, waKenya, waGanda na wahamiaji kutoka karibu kila nchi ya dunia katika jeshi la Marekani. Kutokana na upungufu wa waMarekani wanaotaka kujiunga kwa hiari siku hizi ukionyesha moyo wa kujiunga wanakuchukua. Hata wahalifu waliotakiwa kuwa jela wanachukuliwa asante vita vya Iraq.
Jana tulisikia kwenye taarifa ya habari, habari ya kusikitisha. Msichana wa KiKenya mwenye miaka 21 kutoka Lowell, Massachusetts, Christine Ndururi, amefariki dunia akiwa safarini kwenda Iraq. Jeshi linasema kuwa alifariki Kuwait kwa, "Non-related Combat Illness". Yaani ugonjwa usiohusika na mambo ya kupigana.
Sasa ni kitendawili. Wazazi wake walimwona akiwa kambini kwake Texas wiki mbili zilizopita, alikuwa mzima. Jumatatu wiki hii saa tatu za asubuhi (9:00AMEST) waliongea naye kwa simu alikuwa mzima na hakusema anaumwa. Jumanne jioni saa tatu (9:00PM EST) walipigiwa simu na jeshi kuwa amefariki kwa ugonjwa!
Huyo binti alihamia Marekani na familia yake akiwa na miaka 16. Baba yake mzazi alikuwa ni polisi Kenya na alihamia hapa na familia yake. Sasa anaendesha malori. Kaka zake wote pia walijuinga na jeshi la Marekani.
Akiwa anasoma High School alijiunga na Army Reserves. Baada ya kumaliza masomo yake aliendelea kukaa jeshini kwa vile alitaka hela za kusomea unesi. Alikuwa amepangiwa kupelekwa Korea, lakini badala yake jumatatu alishutukia anapelekwa Iraq, ndipo alipiga simu kwa wazazi wake. Familia yake wanasema alikosa raha aliposikia hizo habari.
Na watu sasa wanauliza jeshi la Marekani kinaficha nini kuhusiana na kifo cha huyo binti?
