SANDUKU YATIMA NA SAFARI YANGU DODOMA KUELEKEA ARUSHA

Nilipokua nikiulizia basi la mikanda  Dodoma mjini;  jamaa mmoja akanicheka:

“We siku yako ya kufa ikifika utakufa tu…”

Na mimi pia  nikacheka nikikumbuka manabii walioandika maneno ya Mungu. Ndani ya sura ya saba ya Biblia mlango wa Mtakatifu Matayo tunashauriwa :

“Ombeni nanyi mtapewa; tafuteni, nanyi mtaona; bisheni, nanyi mtafunguliwa; kwa maana kila aombaye hupokea ; naye atafutaye huona; naye abishaye atafunguliwa.”

Niko Dodoma.

Nnasubiri kukata tiketi ya basi nielekee zangu mikoa ya kaskazi.

Uvaaji mikanda ndani ya magari bado unapuuzwa sana kwetu Afrika na nchi zinazoendelea...

 Baada ya kuzoea kuyapanda mabasi ya Kizungu niko kwetu Bongo nikizozana na itikeli, itikadi na desturi kidogo tofauti ambazo ingawa nilizaliwa na kukua nazo naziona kiasi fulani ngeni, za kutisha. Watanzania wenzangu wanakubali tu lile linalotokea na litokee. Mstari huo umezoeleka  kana kwamba Mtanzania anadhani maisha yake hayana faida tena; liwalo na liwe. Ni kama keshakata tamaa; ari ya mapigano inaanza kumnyauka; hana moyo.

THE MOTHER AND A SON WITH A NAME THAT SOUNDED LIKE OSAMA BIN LADEN’S...

When I watched Sky News announcing death of “head of the snake of terror” (as one presenter put it) during the early hours of Monday I remembered two sensitive stories ten years ago. It was after September Eleven and the whole world was still in shock; nearly 3,000 dead in New York including the 19 hijackers. Few moments after one of this (most publicised) event in history a man wearing a turban targeted by an angry mob in the USA was badly beaten up. Mistaken for a Taliban activist he was in fact, a Sikh. 



Since then various Sikhs have been assaulted randomly in various cities of the USA. While these attacks have more to do with ignorance and racism we all know it has a psychological connection to Al Qaeda and the man who was killed by US military forces early this week.
