This so-called demonstration at Komwosor centre over a dusty road is the height of primitive and dirty politics. To single out one area for protest during the dry season,when dust is a universal challenge across the region is not only hypocritical but barbaric in its selfishness. Residents everywhere are suffering with far worse, unpassable roads, making this a foolish stunt by a few misguided elements.

I strongly condemn the parliamentary aspirant orchestrating this charade. They are exploiting a common seasonal issue for cheap political gain. If they want to play with dust, they will see the actual, overwhelming cloud of it in the coming general elections, when the people will rightfully reject such divisive and shallow tactics.

Naungana na Wananchi wa Tanzania 🇹🇿kwa huzuni kubwa kukemea ukatili, unyanyasaji, na ukiukwaji wa haki za binadamu unaoendelea Africa Mashariki hususan nchini Tanzania chini ya serikali ya Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan. Kwa siku nyingi, tumesikia na kuona mateso ya viongozi wa upinzani, wanaharakati, na wananchi wanaotaka kuleta mabadiliko kwa amani. Hivi sasa, hali hii inazidi kuwa mbaya—watu wanakamatwa kiholela, wanateswa, na hata kuwekwa ndani bila mash*taka ya kisheria.

Mfano wa dhahiri wa ukiukwaji huu ni Jeshi la polisi na vyombo vya usalama vinavyowafanyia mateso wananchi wasio na hatia, kuwaiba kwa nguvu, na kuwafungia kinyama chaendesha hofu na uonevu. Haki ya kutoa maoni, haki ya kukusanyika, na haki ya kushiriki katika siasa zinanyimwa kwa nguvu. Haya yote yanapingana kabisa na kanuni za demokrasia na haki za binadamu ambazo Tanzania imeziunga mkono.

Tundu Lissu Mwana wa Tanzania Anastahili Haki Yake

La kusikitisha ni kukamatwa na kufungwa kwa kiholela kwa Mheshimiwa Tundu Lissu, kiongozi wa upinzani na mwanasheria mashuhuri. Lissu amekuwa mwenye kusimama imara kwa haki, amekumbana na majeruhi ya risasi, na sasa anashikiliwa bila mash*taka halali. Serikali inapaswa kumwachia huru bila masharti, kwa sababu hakuna sababu ya kisheria ya kumfunga. Kufungia wapinzani kwa kisingizio cha udhalilishaji au usalama wa taifa ni ubaguzi wa kisiasa,na si haki.

Wananchi wa Tanzania,na Africa Mashariki kwa jumla ,hawawezi kukubali kuwa watu wa pili katika nchi zao wakati katiba yao inatambua haki zao. Tunaweza kuwa na maoni tofauti, lakini hatupaswi kutumia nguvu kwa wale wanaopinga.

Rais Samia Suluhu Hassan,anayo nafasi ya kuleta mabadiliko. Mamlaka yake haipaswi kutumika kudhalilisha wananchi, bali kuwalinda. Akisitisha ukatili huu, ataacha legasi ya haki na amani.

Tunaamini katika Tanzania ya haki, ya amani, na ya demokrasia.
Tunataka mabadiliko—sasa!
