BILLY GRAHAM AND US PRESIDENTS!

David Frost ndiye muandishi, ni habari inayoeleza nyuma miaka 30 Mazungumzo yao na Billy Graham katika kitabu kiitwacho “Personal thoughts of a public man”

Billy Graham ni mhubiri wa kimataifa, anafahamu siasa za Marekani na amekuwa rafiki wa karibu wa karibu kila raisi wa taifa hilo kubwa kama vile,Harry Truman, Eisenhower, Lyndon Johnson ,John Kennedy, Richard Nixon na Bill Clinton.

Ukurasa wa 95
President Bill Clinton, May 6, 1996 alinukuliwa akisema:

‘I hardly ever go to a place, as Presiident, that Billy Graham has not been there before me preaching. And I feel like a poor substitute, because a lot of the time what I’m trying to do is to get people to lay down the hatred of the heart and reach down into their spirit and treat people who are different from themselves with the same respect that all God’s children are entitled to…………………..
I thank Billy and Ruth Graham for the ministry of their lives’

Ukurasa wa 97;

David Frost, mwandishi wa kitabu hichio: anasema ‘No preacher in the history of this country has had so much access to many presidents as Billy Graham’.



Hapana shaka kuwa alikuwa mshauri wa kisiasa wa wakuu hawa wa Marekani, ushauri uliobeba ukweli na sera zenye kubeba haki na demokrasia.

Marekani ya leo inayoongozwa na Rais Obama, mweusi, ni dhahiri kuwa ni mwendelezo wa harakati fulani za hadharani kama za kina Martin Luther na kina Billy Graham.`

Hapa tunajifunza kuwa viongozi waongozao roho zetu wana nafasi kubwa ku ‘influence’ siasa zetu, hapa Afrika na hasa Tanzania katika kujenga jamii bora zaidi,yenye hofu ya Mungu na kusimamia haki. Na si kuendekeza ufisadi unaolimaliza bara la Afrika. Mfano mzuri wa mapambano haya na harakati za kuipigania haki ni Askofu Desmon Tutu wa Afrika ya kusini. Ambaye wakati Mandela akiwa gerezania alionekana hadharani akiongoza maandamano ya kuidai haki ya usawa ndani ya nchi yao na kuna wakati aliwakemea watawala wa Afrika a kusini, wabaguzi,, kwa sauti kuuuubwa “ Release our leaders”, “Release our leaders”, “Release our leaders”. Bado watanzania tumo katika kifungo cha umasikini, maradhi, ujinga, ufisadi. Nani wapigao kelele mithili ya Desmond Tutu akiwataka watawala wetu na wakoloni wetu wa kale kutuacha huru.


Wako wapi kina Billy Graham wetu Tanzania!

RWANDA ARRESTS REBEL LEADER

Gen Nkunda has said he protects Congo's Tutsis from Rwandan Hutus
Gen Laurent Nkunda, leader of the strongest rebel group in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, has been arrested in Rwanda.
He crossed the border after resisting a joint Rwandan-Congolese operation to arrest him, both countries say.
Correspondents say it is a startling about-turn by Rwanda, which had been accused of backing Gen Nkunda.
The BBC's Thomas Fessy says there is a sense of relief among residents in Goma who feel the war is nearing an end.
Some 250,000 people fled their homes in the region when Gen Nkunda led an offensive on the city towards the end of last year.
Some 4,000 Rwandan troops entered DR Congo this week to help fight rebel forces in the area.

See detailed map of the area Correspondents say Gen Nkunda's arrest removes one obstacle to peace but other rebel groups remain active.
The UN refugee agency warns that further military action against other rebel groups in the area could lead to a humanitarian disaster.
BBC Africa analyst Martin Plaut says Gen Nkunda has been caught in the rapidly changing diplomatic situation in Central Africa.

Gen Nkunda had been Rwanda's ally in eastern DR Congo - a Tutsi, like Rwanda's leaders, he guarded their western flank against attacks from the Hutu forces who fled there after the Rwandan genocide of 1994.
But in mid-November Rwanda shifted its position, announcing it would work with the Congolese to destroy the Hutu rebels.
Gen Nkunda did not back the new alliance and so became an impediment to Rwandan plans in the region, causing Rwanda to turn on him, our correspondent says.
The decision earlier this month by a group of Gen Nkunda's top commanders to break away and join forces with government troops gave them their opportunity, he adds.
Henry Boshoff, an analyst from South Africa's Institute for Security Studies, told the BBC that following intense diplomatic pressure in recent months, Rwanda was obliged to arrest Gen Nkunda.
The next step is for the joint Congolese-Rwandan force to tackle the FDLR Hutu rebels, some of whose leaders are accused of involvement in the 1994 slaughter in Rwanda of some 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus.
But Mr Boshoff says this may not be easy, as they have resisted previous attempts to disarm them.
Arrest warrant
The rebel leader was detained in Rwanda after troops converged on his stronghold in the Congolese town of Bunagana.
"The ex-general Laurent Nkunda was arrested on Thursday 22 January at 2230 hours while he was fleeing on Rwandan territory after he had resisted our troops at Bunagana with three battalions," a Congolese-Rwandan official statement said.

Gen Nkunda has lost the support of some of his troops in recent weeks
Rebels with him were being urged to disarm, reports said.
Congolese Information Minister Lambert Mende Omalanga, told the BBC he welcomed the arrest.
"I think it is a good achievement for peace and security in this area and this region of Great Lakes," he said.
Mr Omalanga said he wanted Rwanda to extradite him to face justice in DR Congo.
DR Congo has issued an international warrant for Gen Nkunda's arrest following past accusations that his forces had committed atrocities.
Rwandan army spokesperson Major Jules Rutaremara told the BBC that General Nkunda was being held by the Rwandan forces in Rubavu district in western Rwanda, close to the border with the DR Congo.
But the Rwandan authorities have not yet issued any formal statement concerning his arrest.
Some of Gen Nkunda's forces - perhaps as many as 2,000 - are still said to be loyal to him.
The question now is whether they will fight, or whether they will join the new consensus and become integrated into the Congolese army, correspondents say.
The CNDP launched a major offensive in August 2008, which displaced more than a quarter of a million people in North Kivu and raised fears of both a humanitarian crisis and a wider regional war.
Correspondents say this may have been Gen Nkunda's undoing, by bringing huge international pressure on all sides to end the conflict in DR Congo.
Human rights group have accused CNDP forces, along with those of the government, of numerous killings, rapes and torture.
All sides in the Congolese conflict have also been accused of using the fighting as a pretext to loot eastern DR Congo's rich resources of minerals such as gold, tin and coltan, used in mobile phones.
Some five million people are estimated to have died as a result of almost 15 years of conflict in DR Congo, following the Rwandan genocide.

Wishing him all the best!

TUWAKATAE VIONGOZI WACHAFU,WALAFI NA MAFISADI!!

Hakuna lisilowezekana katika sayari hii izungukayo!Kila jambo lina wakati wake, wakati hubadilika, binadamu hana budi kwenda na mabadiliko hayo vinginevyo atabaki nyuma na kuachwa na wakati.Kwa muda mrefu Afrika imefanywa kuwa nyuma kutokana na uongozi mbaya wa viongozi walafi wapenda madaraka, wenye utajiri wasioweza kuutolea maelezo, walioupata kutoka kwa kidogo kilichopaswa kuwafikia wananchi wao.

Kile kidogo ambacho kingeweza kuinua maisha ya wananchi wao wamekibinafsisha, ni mithili mfugaji mwenye kutamani kupata ongezeko la maziwa kwa ng'ombe wake bila ya kumuongezea lishe,kumtafutia majani mabichi, wametamani kukamua ng'ombe maziwa yote hata waone matone ya damu, na wametamani maziwa hata kwa ng'ombe dume!!!!

Afrika ambayo imepigania uhuru wake kuanzia miaka ya hamsini bado haijawa huru kiuchumi hata kifikra!!, wako wapi mashujaa wetu wa leo?

Wako wapi kina Julius Nyrere, Kwame Nkrumah, Samora Machel, Nelson Mandela wa leo?, ni lini walikoma kuzaliwa ndani ya Afrika viongozi mithili ya hao?, Bado tunashuhudia Afrika ikiliwa kwa nje na nchi tajiri na kwa ndani na viongozi walafi, hali ikiwepo kasi ndogo na sheria iliyolegezwa na nguvu ya pesa kuwazuia wailao kwa ndani pamoja na kukosa ujasiri wa kupambana na wale wailao kwa nje.

Mwalimu Nyerere wakati akizitetea nchi za dunia ya tatu, alipata kuwakemea mabepari, nchi tajiri,walipokuwa wakishinikiza tuwalipe madeni yao, hela waliiyotunyonya na kutukopesha, akawaambia ni sawa na kumtoa damu mgonjwa mahututi,Afrika iko mahututi kichumi bado!!, wazungu wale walimuelewa Mwalimu!!, Ni nani anayeendeleza mapambano hayo kwa kasi ile ile leo?

Leo tunaona jinsi siasa inavyokimbiliwa hata na wanataaluma, wanajua ni rahisi kuneemeka ukiwa huko,hasa kwa walio na dhamiri zilizokufa,wanaothubutu hata kuchota mapesa ya kununua madawa na kununua magari ya kifahari!!, wanasayansi wamekimbilia siasa, kwa staili hii maendeleo yakujaje?

Kuna ujasiri mwingi na thubutu kubwa ambayo viongozi wetu walio safi wanapaswa kutuonyesha, na wasipofanya hivyo, basi umma utawalazimisha kwani wakati wa mabadiliko ukifika hakuna awezaye kuuzuia, na atakayejaribu kufanya hivyo atakuwa anapambana na nguvu kubwa asiyoiweza!!

Hapa Tanzania tumeshuhudia mawaziri wawili Basil Mramba na Daniel Yona wakipandishwa kizimbani kujibu mashitaka ya jinsi walivyotuibia, tunahitaji mwendelezo wa mapambano haya dhidi ya wale wailao nchi nyetu kwa ndani kwani ni wengi na wasiopaswa kuongoza kwa wakati wa sasa!!

Tuwakatae kama Mwalimu alivyotuasa!!!

Tuko kwenye zama nyingine kabisa,, hakuna lisilowezeakana!!!!!

CONGRATS OBAMA!

OBAMA, the first black US President, Conratulations to Americans to go beyond racism.

MOGAE OYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Heko Mogae, Rais mstaafu wa Botswana kwa tuzo ya Mo Ibrahim.Mogae ndiye mshindi wa mwaka 2007 na amejinyakulia kitita cha dola milioni 5 ikiwa ni pamoja na dola laki 2 kila mwaka hadi atakapoondoka duniani.

Ndio, malipo ni hapahapa duniani, alitenda mema kwa watu wake na amelipwa mema kwa aliyotenda!

Laana nayo ni hapahapa duniani, tazama jinsi viongozi wetu matapeli, walafi, walevi wa madaraka, mafisadi na kila aina ya uchafu waondokapo madarakani, ni aibu tu inayobakia kwao kiasi cha kukosa ujasiri tena wa kuishauri jamii waliyokuwa wakiiongoza!

Mogae alipambana na rushwa akapata mafanikio, alipambana na ukimwi akapata mafanikio.Huyu ni Festus Mogae wa Botswana aliyewabwaga wenzake kina Benjamin Mkapa wa Tanzania,Olusagan Obasanjo wa Nigeria na Ahmad Tejan Kabbah wa Siera Leone.

Mwaka 2007 mshindi alikuwa ni Joachim Chisano wa Msumbiji, mwaka 2008 amekuwa ni Festus Mogae. Je miaka michache ijayo baada ya raisi wetu kuachia kiti kuna matumaini yoyote ya kuibuka kidedea?
Kama Mogae na Chisano wameweza kupambana na matatizo ya kisiasa, kijamii na kiuchumi na kupata mafanikio, Kikwete anashindwa nini?

Ingawa yawezekana ikawa muhimu si zile fedha wanazopata bali kutambulika kwa yale mema waliyoyafanya na kubakia kuwa viongozi wa kuigwa!

Yapo matatizo mengi yatuzungukayo!, rushwa,mikataba ya kifisadi,wizi wa EPA, ukimwi, ujinga, umaskini, gharama kubwa za uchangiaji elimu ya juu na mengine kibao!

Kadri miaka ya utawala wa awamu ya nne inavyoondoka tunataka kuona mabo hayo yakipungua kabisa kama si kwisha.Kinachotakiwa ni kuthubutu na kudhamiria kwa ujasiri mkubwa.

Inawezekana!

Huu ni ujumbe wangu kwako Mr President!

HERI YA PASAKA!

Leo tunaazimisha kufufuka kwa Bwana Yesu miaka 2000 iliyopita,jambo la kujiuliza ni kwamba, kufa na kufufuka kwake Bwana Yesu kumeleta nini katika maisha yetu?, kumeyabadilisha vipi maisha yetu?
Tutafakari.
Baada ya kutafakari na kujibu maswali hayo tusherekee kwa matokeo ya siku hii ya kusherekea kufufuka kwa Bwana Yesu.
Kufufuka kwake kulileta ukombozi wa miili na roho zetu!
Ni siku ya kumshukuru Mungu kwa hilo na kuyapa kisogo mambo yaliyo maovu!
HERI YA PASAKA!!!
