Each year, bright, optimistic Africans leave home to earn an education or seek a better economic life abroad for themselves and their families. With fewer opportunities in their home country, many never return home.
The African Diaspora is broadly defined by the African Union Commission as "peoples of African origin living outside the continent, irrespective of their citizenship and nationality and who are willing to contribute to the development of the continent and the building of the African Union."
Globally, Africans in the diaspora are spread out across the continents. In North America, there are 39 million from the African Diaspora; 113 million in Latin America; 13.6 million in the Caribbean; and 3.5 million in Europe, the World Bank estimates.'
The African Diaspora is not a monolithic group -- some were born and reared outside of their home country; many migrated to Europe, the United States and other parts of the world at a young age; while others arrived to attend college.
No matter how they arrived in their adopted country, diasporans bring a distinct perspective to the discourse on Africa because they have experienced both worlds and can serve as a bridge in fostering greater understanding between the continent and their adopted country.

My personal story is that I have lived most of my life as an African diasporan. I was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Yet, in my father's pursuit to attain a higher education and better career opportunities, my family moved to Japan, the United States, and then Liberia. I returned to the United States for my undergraduate and post-graduate degrees, and remained in the States to build my career.
We live in an interconnected world. My life embodies this interconnection. I love my adopted country of America and all that it has to offer; and Africa is where my roots are and where my heart and passion live. With this duality, I try to marry these worlds the best way that I can in my daily life.
The organization that I lead, The Africa-America Institute (AAI) has served as a bridge between continents for 60 years. As African nations were gaining independence from colonial rule in 1953, AAI was founded to build human capacity on the continent by providing opportunities for African students to pursue academic degrees at top universities in the United States.
After receiving their degrees, more than 90% of our alumni returned home to become leaders in the public, non-profit, and private sectors in Africa, where they contributed to strengthening the foundation for African development.
With 23,000 AAI alumni worldwide, we proudly count prominent alumni such as Wangari Maathai, the late Kenyan environmental and women's rights activist and Nobel Laureate; Prime Minister H.E. Nahas Angula of Namibia; and President Joyce Banda of Malawi, among other distinguished African leaders.
Today, AAI offers rigorous professional development and leadership training programs through our African partner institutions to women and men who exhibit talent and leadership in key fields -- and who display a deep commitment to advancing to Africa's development.
Indeed, Africans in the diaspora have so much to offer the continent, boosting one of the world's fastest-growing economic regions -- six of the 10 fastest growing markets in the world are in sub-Saharan Africa.
By and large, the three "Ds" about Africa -- death, despair and disease -- still prevail in the minds of many people in the Western world. African diasporans, especially young people, can become the face of a "new Africa" -- educated, optimistic, and actively working to transform and shape Africa's future.
Secondly, diasporans can help shape foreign policy. Since many in the African Diaspora still maintain strong connections to the continent, diasporans can help influence foreign policy priorities by offering informative analysis of on-the-ground realities in African nations and sharing under-reported success stories of progress taking place, as well as solutions to development challenges.
Lastly, diasporans can bring their talent, energy, skills and technological know-how to furthering economic progress in Africa. Many Africans in the diaspora want to eventually go back home after living abroad. However, one of their biggest challenges is finding suitable employment once they return.
The demand for talent is high in Africa, yet the wide skills gap is a sobering reality. A McKinsey Global Institute Report estimates that 122 million people will be added to Africa's labor force between 2010 and 2020, creating a burgeoning labor force of more than 500 million across the continent.
Skilled professionals from the African Diaspora are recognizing the tremendous opportunities that exist in Africa and are repatriating home in greater numbers to fill top positions at multinational corporations and organizations on the continent. They are also investing in Africa's emerging markets and launching African-led businesses and enterprises to create well-needed jobs and spur economic growth.
Harnessing the talents and expertise of the African Diaspora can help to bolster Africa's workforce development. Recognizing this tremendous asset, AAI hosted a Talent Summit where mid-career professionals from the diaspora learned about the challenges and opportunities of launching a career in Africa or at leading Africa-focused organizations in the United States. Attendees left the summit armed with information to plan a possible career transition.
Mobilizing the full participation of Africans in the diaspora is a win-win for Africa, and can foster stronger connections between continents to accelerate Africa's social and economic development.
it should read " Tanzanians in USA Diaspora. I personally do not want uraia mbilie. I have a lot to lose. I will not be able to continue working for the the govt and will lose my security clearance. So not sure all this lelemama. Let us be clear not everybody wants uraia mbili, Sory guys!
ReplyDeleteNahitaj kujua haswaa kwanini tuna lazimisha uraia pacha wakati watu wengi waliopo nyumbani Tanzania hawataki???
ReplyDeleteMe sioni point ya kulazimisha kama hawataki tuachane nao mbna holiday unaingia na passport yako tena unalipia VISA on arroval bila shiida na hakuna anaekusumbua
Me kama now nipo Tanzania nitakaa as long as as i want muda ukiisha naingia hapo kenya alafu nafanya re-entry sioni point ya kulazimisha maana kuna mijinga mingine imesema eti tunataka kufaidi gesi na mafuta wakati yeye mwenyewe hajafaidi kitu
Tatizo wabongo wengi wanatuogopa sana diasporas kama wanavyo waogopa wakenya,, wanadhani tuta wachukulia kazii zao
ReplyDeleteHivi hamu waoni wahindi walivyo wengi hapa Tanzania na kila siku wanaongezeka wengi wao wame overstay VISA zao lakini hakuna anae ongea wala kuuliza
Haya leo tumeshuhudia mwana dada lupita akiji shindia oscars kumbuka ana uraii wa nchi mbili mexico na kenya ndio maana hata wakenya bado wako proud of what she has done nakumbuka niliona mtanzania mwenye australia permanent resident akicheza mpira badala ya watu kumkubali wao ndio wali anza kumponda
Tatizo wabongo umasikini na wivu unatusumbua sanaa maana ukiulizwa kwanini hutaki dual citizenship huna sababu za msingi wivu tuu ume wajaha
MCHEZO WA UKE WENZA.
ReplyDeleteukitaka kujua bado tuko nyuma kimawazo ya kimaendeleo, mtanzania aishie tanzania akataa waishio nje wasiwe raia. kwa nini uwaamlie wao. Kama ushabiki au mashindano vile. ye kanishinda kwa kwenda mamtoni na mi namzibia asirudi. Na sababu zisizoenda shule eti.
1. Nyie mlitukataa, mbaki huko.
2. mnataka kula huku na huku.
bila kujali yeye anapata hasara gani. akili ya kukomoa, roho korosho, na mifano yake.
sisi tuna mitaji ya kiuchumi ila hatutaki kulipa kodi ya wageni. sisi tuna elimu tunaweza kuikuza elimu ya tz. sisi tunatuma hela na kusaidia familia na wasiojiweza. sisi twafanya mazuri mengi lakini inaonekana hapa tunafanya mchezo wa uke wenza.
Ila tutafaidi kukosa uraia huo. hatutasumbuliwa na majambazi wa bongo, malaria,huduma mbovu za afya, huduma mbovu za polisi na mahakama, vyama vya siasa viongozwavyo kidini au bila kisomo, n.k.
Dogo, nakuona kama ni msomi sana lakini comments zako zaonyesha una uono mdogo kuhusu mambo ya bongo
DeleteGood luck to you all, mimi na dual uraia nooooooooooooooooooooo
ReplyDeleteTo anonymous No 1,
ReplyDeleteThe heading is reads correctly because most of the Tanzanian's in the diaspora do support Dual Citizenship.
...and no, you would not loose your security clearance nor your government job as you asserted because you will be able to opt out of the dual citizenship and keep your other citizenship. Please note that if and when dual citizenship will be allowed it will not be compulsory to anyone.
Mlitukana kabla jogoo hajawika...sasa mnataka kurudi kwa lipi mlilolisahau.Tena mna bahati baba Nyerere hayupo nasi kimwili angewatia segerea. Yaani haikuwauma kuukana UTANZANIA kabisa kwa akili timamu!!!! siwaelewi kabisa na nawaona kama akina Yuda,Wangapi tumesoma na kurudi nyumbani,"Mkataa kwao mara zote ni mtumwa" Mliona huko kunawafaa kaeni huko huko,eti tuna wivu kwa lipi mana maisha yetu huku tunayajua wenyewe na ndo tumeyachagua kama nyie mlivyo yachagua ya huko majuu!!!!
ReplyDeleteSiwezi na sito kuja kupakataa NYUMBANI (TZ) hata Tanesco ikifilisika tukawasha kibatali hapa ni nyumbani na ntapapigania kwa vizazi vijavyo viweze jivunia nyumbani.Mungu IBARIKI TANZANIA MUNGU IBARIKI AFRIKA.
Thanks very much for the info the gentleman aboveve
ReplyDeleteHapa hakuna uraia pacha. Naona kuna jamaa hapo juu anasema sisi tunaokataa uraia pacha tuna wivu kweli? Simuelewi huyu jamaa anamaanisha nini, kana kwamba sisi tumeshindwa kuzunguka duniani kama yeye alivyo au vipi.
ReplyDeleteWatz wengi sana wamezunguka duniani na wamerudi kuendeleza maisha yao hapa nyumbani, wengine wapo huko huko na bado wanasaidia huku bila kikwazo cha kusema uraia pacha ndiyo utaleta maendeleo. Hakuna kitu kama hicho.
Wewe umeukana uraia wa Tz na ukasema wewe mkimbizi halafu ukapata uraia wa huko ulipo, unataka nini tena uraia wa Tz? Kama vipi achana na uraia huo rudi nyumbani tutakupa uraia watz.
I support this narrative, it reflects the reality. Although not all Tanzanians abroad need dual citizenship, we should not dismiss it, because there is a good number, in some parts of the world who would benefit from it.
ReplyDeletemimi nadhani waliochukua uraia wa nje walitaka maisha,na wamepata huko ? sioni kama wana tatizo kuja na visa wakija kutembea Tanzania.
ReplyDeleteWhy uraia mbili. Kwanza mko wangapi? si ajabu uraia mbili ukawasaidia ambao sio watanzania. hebu mtupe shule tuwaelewe,will support u for sure!!
Sio lazima kufanya kitu kwa sababu wengine wanafanya!!!
Binadamu tuna wivu lakinu wivu wa sisi watanzania unamatawi ndani yake nayo ni Kinyongo,uchoyo, chuki, na fitina. Hivyo ndivyo vinatuweka hapa tulipo, Ukiachana na maradhi, elimu, ujinga, na ufisadi.
ReplyDeletekama bongo kuna malaria, mahakama movu majambazi, vyama vya kidini KWANINI UNATAKA URAIA WA BONGO NCHI YENYE TABU ZOTE HIZO BAKI HUKO HUKO, WEWE KAMA MTANZANIA WA KWELI UNGEWEZA/UNAWEZA KUISHI USA NA BADO UKAWA MTANZANIA SIO LAZIMA UWE RAIA WA USA....NA KWA TAARIFA YENU VIJANA HUKO BONGO WANASONGA MBELE BILA KUHITAJI NGUVU YENU NJOONI MUONE
ReplyDeleteHivi nani kawapa haki ya kuwasemea watanzania walio ughaibuni bila kufanya utafiti?
ReplyDeleteWaliopo Tanzania tu kupata kazi ni kazi, haya nyie mnahitaji kazi zipi na kwa mshahara upi? Manake hamkawii kudai kwamba mkipewa kazi, mlipwe kama wataalam wa nje.
Kwanza ni wachache sana wenye weledi na mambo mnayoyafanya, wengi ni kumsubiria Diamond, Ali kiba, Ommy Dimpos, Shilole na wengineo kwenye Mbwisi Bar za ughaibuni.
sababu kuu ya watanzania waliopo nyumbani kusisitiza kutokuweo kwa uraia pacha ni wivu, mengine ni bizari tu ya mchuzi.
ReplyDeleteMimi sihitaji tena passport ya tanzania lakini nashangazwa sana na wanaopinga kuwapa uraia pacha wale wanaotaka kufanya hivyo. Kwa mtazamo wangu uraia wa pacha tanzania utakuja tu kwa sababu mabadiliko haya yanatokea katika kona ya dunia. Ni lini sijui lakini kama ilivyokuwa ikikataliwa vyama vingi nchini hadi pale upepo ulipogeuza mkondo, basi na suali la passporti mbili Tanzania litakubalika tu siku moja
Well done "mdau Mlitukana jogoo" maana na wakati wa baba wa taifa mwalim Nyerere aliwambia walioondoka kwa hiari "let them go",ulikuwa ni msimamo madhubuti. Pia mlioko nje ni mara ngapi mwaendelea na kejeli juu ya nchi mnayosema nyinyi ni wazawa kwa kusema "bongo hakuna mpango".Au wabongo hawana mpango tena leo mwataka nini.Makampuni yenu huko yanakulipeni vizuri,mafao mengine pia poa waliopata sheria za huko matibabu ya uhakika,elimu za juu kwa watoto wenu ni well recognized all over the globe so wot.bakieni huko .Huku hakuna space kwa ajili yenu.Kumejaa.La kama mkipenda kusaidia chini ya neno UZALENDO hamjakatazwa you can participate and contribute,feel free to do so guys.
ReplyDeleteKwa maoni yangu, hakuna haja ya Uraia wa nchi mbili. wengi wanaotafuta hivyo ni kufuata mkumbo wa wenzetu Kenya. Kwanini mnataka Uraia wa Nchi mbili? Tufafanulieni zaidi. Mbona sisi wengine tumetoka ya Tanzania tukasoma na kuishi kwa muda nje bila kubadili Uraia? Kulikuwa na haja gani>? Ni kwa ajili ya vizazi vyenu vitavyofuata? hatuwafungi, wakitaka Uraia wa Tanzania wafuate kama wengineo wenye makusudi hayo wanavyofanya. Wivu sio sababu ya kwetu sisi kukataa. Kama unataka kujenga taifa letu lijenge kwa Uraia wa Tanzania.
ReplyDeleteNew World Order, New World Order ndiyo mkakati unaokuja kwa mgongo wa Dual Citizenship.
ReplyDeleteWatakaofaidi siyo 'wabongo' wa ndani au nje ila makampuni makubwa ya kimataifa wenye mifuko mirefu ya pesa na ushawishi (lobbying) kama kina Rothschild, Mark Rich n.k
Uraia pacha ni hatari kwa mustakabali wa taifa huru la Tanzania ktk Nyanja za uchumi, biashara, benki, utamaduni, pamoja na ulinzi na usalama wa nchi.
Watakaofaidika na kiini macho cha 'dual-citizenship' ni mabeberu (wadau na washika-dau wa Trans-national-multi-national corporations) kupitia mikakati siri ya Illuminati, Freemasons kuifanya dunia kuwa nchi moja ili kuwapatia uwanja wa kuwaletea faida za kiuchumi.

HOHOHO,NAKUBALIANA NA MDAU WA HAPO JUU ASEMAYE SISI BINAADAM hasa Watanzania tuna choyo,kinyongo,uchoyo ,chuki,fitna na ndivyo vinavyotuweka hapa tulipo.Ama hili ulilolisema ni kweli lakini umesahau kitu kimoja nacho ni ukabila pia.ndio maana wanadiaspora wanapopiga HARAMBEE ya mchango ya kusaidia huwa na choyo kupeleka wasikotoka.Mfano kama wanajamii madispora hao wakichaga wakipiga mchango huwa na choyo,kinyongo kuupeleka ima Mbamba bay au kilwa masoko na badala yake huamua kuupeleka uchagani.Na ndivyo hivyo hivyo kwa Wahaya wakipiga harambee ya mchango huwa hawako tayari kuupeleka Kiromo Bagamoyo lakini huupeleka Bukoba.Jee mdau umeliona hilo ndio mana hakuna uzalendo na utaifa yaani kupeleka panapohitajika zaidi very desperate areas.Unapoongea terminologies hizi kuwa na uhakika usemalo.Jee wewe ukipewa uraia pacha uko tayari kutoa huduma katika remote area in Tanzania at least for two years.Au ubinafsi ,uchoyo na chuki vitakutawala?
ReplyDeleteJamani tupo ughaibuni na tunajua jinsi gani wabongo waliopo huku wanavyopakandia Bongo.Ni juzi tu humu Ankal alitupia picha ya jinsi Bongo inavyoonekana,watu wakakandia sana.Mi huwa pia nafuatilia kipindi cha kijiwe cha ughaibuni.unakutana na kina Ben mwaipaja na Yasin Randi jinsi wanavyokandia Bongo na kipindi kile kina reflect jinsi wabongo tulio nje tunavyoiona nchi yetu.Halafu ndio haohao mnaoutaka uraia pacha wa nini?.yaani mnapataka kule ambapo umeme tabu,mbu kibao,barabara mbovu,kazi hakuna(kama mnavyokandia kila siku humu).napiga box,passport yangu ya kibongo ninayo,tayari kwa kurudi baada ya miaka kadhaa.
ReplyDeletelazima mtu uwe na back up. we tanzania hamna uhuru wakikushughulikia utakimbilia wapi. lakini kama una gamba la bluu, aah, mijuu guu.
ReplyDeleteNchi nyingi zilizoendelea na zinazoendelea, zinakubali uraia wa nchi mbili kwa ajili ya manufaa ya raia wake harisi, ambao wako ugenini kwa sababu mbali mbali za kimaisha

Kuna jamaa mmoja ameelezea vizuri sana kuhusu suala hili kwenye Raiamwema, bahati mbaya wanaosoma blog hizi mnapenda kusoma mipasho. Jamaa amedadavua vibaya sana kuhusu ubinafshaji, uwekezaji na hicho kinachoitwa uraia-pacha.
ReplyDeleteShida sio wivu na hata sio uchoyo. Lengo ni kulinda uchumi, biashara na usalama wa nchi yetu.
ReplyDeleteLeo mkiruhusu uraia wa nchi mbili, watakaofaidi sio tu wanadiaspora. watakaofaidi ni wageni ambao wako huku au wanaotaka kuja bongo.
Kwa sasa wageni hawaruhusiwi kumiliki ardhi, lakini raia wanaruhusiwa.
Uraia wa nchi mbili utafungua pazia la umiliki wa ardhi kwa wageni wenye uwezo wa kifedha kujinyakulia ardhi kadri wapendavyo.
Ardhi ndo kitu pekee kinachoashiria UHURU wa watanzania wa hali zote.
Ubishi mwingine, hauna miguu wala mikono. Wabongo wanaokatalia wenzao uraia pacha ni wivu na choyo zisizo na sababu. Ni wazi hawana sababu zenye utafiti. (Ni kweli kama ujafanya utafiti hauna haki ya kuongea-Anonymous)Mfano,wanasema Nyerere alikataa watu kuja Ughaibuni? Ni kuchanganya vitu viwili tofouti.Nyerere alisema hayo wakati wa Ujamaa,lakini sasa hivi ni wakati Ubepari-upende usiepende habari ndiyo hiyo.Inabidi tubadilike kufutana na nyakati. Halafu Nyerere mwenyewe alisoma U.K na mwaka 1966 aliimiza watu waende wakasome Ulaya na Marekani. Na isitoshe wajukuu zake sasa hivi wanasoma Marekani. Kitu kikubwa jamaa wa Ughaibuni wanacholeta Nyumbani ni Elimu na icho huwezi ukapima bei yake. Mwenyewe siitaji uraia pacha bali natetea watu wanaotaka kufuatana na hali halisi ilivyo. Ni kweli kuna chuki na fitina kwa walio nyumbani kuwachukia watu walio Ughaibuni siilewi kwa nini?! Maisha yangu yote nimesaidia nyumbani bila faida,lakini nimeona kabisa kuna watu wananikwamisha kwa makusudi kwa vile natoka Ughaibuni. Lakini sijawi kukataa tamaa kwani najua kwenye changa moto za maendeleo lazima Shetani yupo busy kukukwamisha. Tukubaliane tusikubaliane, ili swala lipite au lisipite bado nitajulikana kuwa ni mtoto wa Bongo, kutokana na ngozi yangu, lugha, tabia zangu zote vyote vina asilia hiyo.
ReplyDeleteMimi ni Mtanzania nafanya kazi ulaya zaidi ya miaka 20 sasa, wakipitisha dual citizenship basi nta-chukua uraia wa mamtoni, wala sina mbungi, kero kubwa kwangu ni kusafiri nchi za ulaya lazima uwe na viza, otherwise field yangu wala sina noma, niwe mpingo mbong au mpingo-muulaya yote poa tu.
ReplyDeleteKama hamtutaki mnaleta hii mijadala ya kipuuzi ya nini? Nani analilia uraia ulionajisiwa na wahindi wauza unga na mafisadi? Kesho naukana hata mtu akinipa bure sichukui. Wenyewe wanaowakataliwa wenzao kuwa na uraia wa nchi mbili ima watoto wao wanao au wanaulilia hasa kwa wale walioshindwa kuondoka Bongo.
ReplyDeletembona wanawake walioolewa nje ya Tanzania wanaruhusiwa kuwa na pasi mbili au dual citizenship, iweje wanaume waliooa nje ya Tanzania.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanzanian_nationality_law. kama hivyo ndivyo usawa huko wapi?
ReplyDeleteUkweli ambao wote wa Diaspora hatutaki kuusema ni kwamba nchi zetu za dunia ya tatu ni tiatia maji, muda wowote kinaweza kunuka, na itakuwa wazimu kama hatuna backup plans. Na hiyo back up ni mkomba wa eagle.
ReplyDeleteSasa mnataka tuwekeeni uraia pacha, hamtaki mikoba yanu tunayo, na tutaendeelea kuingilia namanga.

International Students’ Intentions to Stay in the United States or Return to their Home Countries
Heike C. Alberts* and Helen D. Hazen**1
Intentions for Diaspora to return home:..professional factors, societal factors and personal factors
Professional factors
Remarkably few informants cited any professional reasons for returning to their home countries. The main exceptions to this rule were among students in the Tanzanian and Chinese focus groups. The majority of the Tanzanian students had jobs waiting for them back home- two had even been sponsored to come to the United States on the understanding that they would go back to Tanzania- providing an obvious incentive to return. In addition, Tanzania was seen as providing a more level playing field for getting a job: [The US] is a very competitive society, so in some situations we are competed out, and we think we can fairly compete back home, and even with more advantage, you know, an added advantage with the wealth of experience and exposures from this country. And so we see more opportunities if we go home to Tanzania than stay here (Babu, Tanzania).
The Chinese, by contrast, described government incentives to return, making professional opportunities in the home country more attractive. The participants explained that the Chinese Government offers incentives for US-educated people to return, as it is interested in gaining access to Western know-how. In particular, those with English skills are valued as being able to promote Westernization and globalization (Dao, China). The Government offers returnees salaries that can compete with those in Western countries, and provides attractive housing opportunities. According to our participants, some Chinese companies and universities actively contact Chinese students in the United States to try to persuade them to return to China. Despite these efforts, our informants stated that the vast majority of Chinese students still decide to stay in the United States after completing their degrees. This finding is backed by a study by Finn (2003), which found that, in 2001, 96 per cent of Chinese students stayed in the United States on completion of their degrees. With the exception of the Chinese, none of the students knew of any government incentives for students to return and most reported that their governments were not concerned about .brain drain., as far as they were aware. As Jiro from Japan explained: .The Japanese Government is more concerned about attracting foreigners than about losing Japanese.. The Dutch Government appeared similarly unconcerned, as described by Mies: -Are there incentives? I don’t even know if they [the Dutch Government] know that I am here!. (Alberts & Hazen, 2005, p.140)

ReplyDeleteThere is an element of a lie in Membe's statement. I am a Tanzanian living overseas for almost 20 years now. All these years , I have kept my Tanzanian citizenship because I believe that one day I will go home, and the current law does not allow me to take the citizenship of my host country. In doing so, there are costs that I have to pay, like not being able to elect my leaders in the host country. However, despite that cost, Tanzania also penalizes me that I can't elect leaders in my own Tanzania. Many other countries make it easier for their citizens to vote wherever they are but Membe and his CCM group are more interested in garnering votes from the illiterate and uneducated populace in rural ares who do not know how the world is going but rather hailing to the chief. I have never heard of any Tanzanian voting from overseas.
ReplyDeleteHakuna mtu anayewagopa Tanzania Diaspora hapa Bongo. sababu zinatolewa za uraia pacha sio za msingi, zinazoweza kuwa addressed na kuwekewa Ancestral Visa itakayowapa diaspora access. Swala kwamba la kuogopa diaspora halipo WATZ wengi waliopo nje TZ mmesoma Vyuo vya Uchochoroni kama West London College, hata mkirudi huku sio rahisi kupata kazi kwenye Mashirika ya Kimataifa. Na mitaji pia hamna ya kutosha
ReplyDeleteAfrica has more people aged under 20 than anywhere in the world and the continent's population is set to double to two billion by 2050.....Sasa nyie mnaotaka uraia pacha mnataka kazi kutoka wapi ???wakati Africa yenyewe ishajaa tayari..na wengi wanaotaka hilo ni wabongo wa US sio Europe...wengine hatuutaki banaa.
