Will Tanzanian Foreign Policy be hijacked by ‘Political Pirates’?
(Debate)
In this world of globalization, nations need to make key decisions in the interest of her people; among these critical decisions is the development, promotion and execution of Foreign Policy.
My analysis of various decisions made by the Tanzanian Government lead me to believe that there are areas that we could have certainly do better, one such area is the implementation of the Minerals Policy which has undoubtedly benefitted foreign investors at a ridiculously unproportional share compared to the owners of the resources-Wananchi.
On the other hand, the Tanzanian Government engineered some classic policy master pieces that even staunch critics of the Government will fail to find substantial faults in.
In my humble opinion, I believe wholeheartedly that our foreign policy is and has been one of our greatest assets. It is a policy designed around principles of achieving world-peace, racial equality and collective self-reliance. Where we stand on international issues can create more or less friends or foes so this is not something to middle with recklessly.
Just to underpin the significance of our foreign policy and diplomacy, I will quote some words of the Father of the Nation, “we small powers can have no…illusions. Only in an Organization like the UN can we hope to make our voice heard on international issues’.
With all the efforts to avoid unnecessary frictions with other nations, we had no choice but to fight Iddi Amin when he invaded and seized Kagera. Tanzanian being so peace loving people we even prefer to use the name Iddi Amin as opposed to Uganda because we really do not have a problem with our Ugandan brothers and sisters but we consider poor choices of Iddi Amin to be the cause of the war. We helped liberate countries in sub-Sahara Africa. We had to impose embargo against the military regime in Burundi so on and so forth. What is so common among all these conflicts that we engaged in?There were real issues we had to deal with, we did not put our men and women in uniform at harm’s way by making speculative or impulsive decisions. Nobody can deny Amin invaded us, nobody can deny apartheid was real and devastating and inhuman, nobody can deny we need to bring an end to military coups in Africa.
Our leaders who took office immediately after independence worked diligently and tirelessly. They made their mistakes along the way but in my view I believe that when it comes to foreign policy they nailed it down and we survived the cold war.
I am particularly concerned with aspirations of Tanzanians who I call ‘political pirates’ who want to hijack our foreign policy for self centered goals. One such aspirant is a gentleman by the name of John Mashaka.
The United States today is paying a heavy price in billions of dollars and human lives because of President George Bush’s terrible foreign policy decisions. The new Administration in Washington under President Obama is making global efforts to change how America is viewed by the world. Obama is a very smart and practical student of history and among many past lessons he has learned is that such policies of intimidation that Mr. Mashaka is so fond of do not work and is extending his hand even to those adversaries who had differences with the former Administration, the man is delivering what he promised during the campaign and gentleman do what they promise. His recent visit to Venezuela brought him a step closer to re-building ties with President Chavez, he wants to work with the Iranian people. Mr. Obama has simply won the trust of the world because of his new attitude of ‘listening to and respecting’ others.
While the US is re-visiting her foreign policy and correcting its past mistakes, we in Tanzania keep seeing some Tanzanians like John Mashaka promoting President Bush’s failed policies with countries like Venezuela, Iran and even our long-time ally China. The ‘political pirates’ have turned themselves into amplifiers and magnifiers of policies that the US itself has abandoned, what is even worse and somewhat scary is that they using Tanzanian media and forums!!!
My question to fellow bloggers-will these ‘political pirates’ who desire and make efforts to promote failed American policies be able to overthrow Nyerere’s legacy of Foreign Policy?
(US Blogger)
Mr. Blogger, you are overbittely over John Mashaka's brilliant mind. I think that is talent, and God given ability. Until the end of your essay, I have not understood the bottomline of your rantling. You seem to be a cluessless from who keeps on jumping from place to place without any concrete reason. Can you please give us precisely what you are trying to say?
ReplyDeleteMashaka is simply brilliant, and has not seen any political motivation is mind stinging articles. Again am not understaning your point, are you trying to support his suggestion that gold is needed in these times of uncertainty or are you trying to tell us that he is not good to lead? what is you option or alternative?
First of all, you english needs some English 101 course
ReplyDelete1. there is nothing like middle, it is meddle
2. Your grammatical organization is so poor, and wonder how you can dare want to compete with more rhetorical and refined john mashaka
US-Blogger, for the past few days you have been whinning too much about Mashaka. how can you call him a politcal pirate? what other solutions do you have?????
Your friend Iranins are some of the hated people in the Arab world, are you trying to promote Iran in Tanzania?
Chinese are destrying our country with their fake products, should we celebrate?
What is your main reason for using iddi Amin, and the war?
Man stop wasting our times, get a job if you cant beba boxi then rudi nyumbani hacha kutuchafulia globu yetu.
Huyu mdini US blogger bado yupo? huyu mtu ni hatari, hafai kabisa. US-Blogger tafuta kazi nyingine kazi ya uandishi au uchambuzi hauuwezi sasa hapa mahudhui yako ni nini? masahaka amekuintimidate kivipi? hacha ujinga bwana... wewe hapa nakupa 0% au pengine 15% kwa kuchukua muda wako kuandika. how can you relate your article to mashaka's article?
ReplyDeleteau ndo mambo ya mange kimambi uliyemtukana ndo yamekuchanganya? toka zako hapa na utafutaji wako wa cheap popularity. hapa unayemjenga ni mashaka siyo wewe
Point nyingi za Mashaka na US bloger zina based zaidi na US economy. Kama mnabishana kuhusu TZ, si vizuri kuicompare TZ na USA or Israel. Mashaka na US bloger analysis zenu hazina research; ila mnatumia zaidi mifano ya US economy or foreign policy. Tunataka analysis za kiuchumi na siasa.

my comrade the blogger. what you are failing to undetsnad is that, mashaka is such a polished, refined and flowless writer. you must be mentally disturbed to try to argue with him like this. you have come to reveal to us how bitter you are, good thing you did not reveal your name because the whole thing does not make sense. shame on you.

Dear US Blogger,
ReplyDeleteYou may be irritated by Mr. Mashaka's commentaries but he has a right to his opinion. We also have a right to disagree with him and to post our comments as well.
I don't think Mr. Mashaka is a stoogie of Bush or other American leaders. It takes more than few articles in far away Tanzanian blog to be noticed in Washington. He happen to have a particular view which some of us disagree with. It doesn't make him a bad person or an unpatriotic Tanzanian.
I happpen to disagree with Mwalimu Nyerere's socialism and his dictatorial leadership. I still respected him as a person but I will never ever salute him or support his policies. Does that make me some a kind of evil person or unpatriotic Tanzanian?
We have a thirst of knowledge in Tanzania. When a person like Mr. Mashaka shows up and print his popular opinions here, people get excited. They can feel him but were previously not able to express themselves like he did in matters which are important to them. They even want him to run for President of Tanzania based on his ability to print his 2-cents in this blog of Jamii!
I have often disagreed with Mr. Mashaka's opinions and Balozi Michuzi was kind enough to publish my opinion but i don't feel that he is evil or some kind of a clown of US Congress.
So, US blogger, I can understand your frustrations in this matter but I urge you to forward them to your articles rather than accusing someone of being unpatriotic or "political pirate" without backing it with solid facts. In a matured democracy (which Tanzania hasn't reached it yet) everybody have a right to an opinion.
Kind regards,
Mdau of Tokyo, Japan
us blogger ana mimba ya mashaka nani asiyejua,aache ujinga, hizi takataka zake ndo amekuwa akijipigia kelele. na hapa ataanza kujipostia ujinga
ReplyDeleteNdg. US-Blogger,
ReplyDeleteI am not really understanding your problem , as an intellect you claim to be I am tending to see you like a soar loser, and an extremely bitter individual.
First of all, you know clearly well that you have never seen, or will never an oxford degree. You dont own a penthouse in dubai. You are self proclmaining to be an intelligent person yet cannot write even one pay essay to counter Mashaka.With this crap, save your noise for idiots
Mashaka is a very young kid compared to you. You have a family of your own, yet does not. He has never boasted over anything while you are boasting everyday jinsi ulivyo mzuri wa mdahalo. kuna watu wengi sana wa kujadiliana nao kwa nini usiombe kujadiliana nao ni mashak tu ndiye unayemtafuta.
huyu kijana lengo lake kubwa ni kutuhamasisha sisi watanzania na kutupa changamoto wewe unafanyia nini nchi yako? matokeo yake unamuita pirate, kwa nini unamkachifu mwenzio???
Tafadhali sana ndugu yangu blogger muache huyu kijana hana shida na wewe. unaanza kuwa ker kwetu sisi washabiki wa globu ya jamii. nashindwa ni kwa nini michuzi anakuruhusu kusambaza hizi chuki za binafsi ambazo umekuwa ukizifanya.
bwana hebu jaribu kuwa mstaarabu na mtu mzima. Uislamu unapinga sana chuki na wivu. sijui kwamba unaswali hata kidogo kwa maana nafsi yako mwenyewe itakusuta.Uislamu hautaki makubwa na mwenyezi Mungu atakuadhibu kwa tabia zako mbaya
This us blogger is an amatuer and a man with problems.
ReplyDeletejohn mashaka is by far better than this, he should rest,,
pengine akamuandikie mrema speech za kizungu pengine watashinda kwenye uchaguzi wao 2015 dhidi ya mashaka, ili mtu lijinga sana,, aone basi anavyokubali kwamba mashaka yuko juu zaidi yake.
mashaka alikubali uamnde na ni mtu mwenye mpangilio siyo kama hizi zake za kukurupuka na
kaundikwa baada ya miezi ndo ipostiwe. hacha kiherehere blogga, khaaaaa
kizungu kina wenyewe tuliza ball.
ReplyDeletemwenyewe kumbe kelele nyingi na hauna kitu.
mdahalo ulokuwa na usongo nao ulikuwa wa nini wakati hata kuandika haujui?
mashaka big up kwa maana huyu hajafika kwenye level yako.
usipoteze muda amefanya vizuri kuandika sentezi zisizoeleweka tetete,
nina uhakika leo anajificha chini ya uvungu kwa aibu
wivu bwana ni hatari,, michu vipi, blogu ya jamii siyo sehemu ya machizi

ReplyDeletemashaka hajibizani na yeye ndo maana anashindwa afanyeje, alikwambia kwamba kabla kujadiliana na wewe, uweke kwanza article zako
leo umeweka utumbo na kila mtu kakusuta isipokuwa comments zako ambazo utaamka na kuanza kujiandikia. sasa mashaka kaushinda kabla hata ya mjadala, angalia ulivyojidhalilisha, kuandika utumbo
mashaka ndiyo ni genius kwa sababu anaandika vitu ambavyo vinawa exite watu, yaani ngoja tundike article uone watu wanavyoguswa wewe wapi?
ukitaka kujua wewe ni maarufu kwa upumbavu soma commnts tangu mwanzo...

To Mashaka's Bandwagon
ReplyDeleteMr. Mashaka had written an article convicting the Chinese of being greedy over African resources especially oil as well as dumping.
Resources;he deliberately picked his choice of words like 'siphon oil' to characterize as though they are being exploitative. He ignored the fact that China is the # 6 buyer of African oil so there are 5 other major beneficiaries of African oil. He ignnored the fact that they are not getting free oil and that they do pay for the oil just like in any international trade arrangement.
On dumping; after having convicted them he shows up on Michuzi's interviewe and says he is uncertain as to whether the Chinese are behind dumping in Tanzania!!!!! In a society of intelligent people who demand responsibility this would be considered absolutely unacceptable.
He ignored the fact that China has tough legislation against manufacture and distribution of dangerous and adulterated products. Ignored the fact that the Chinese Ambassador to Tanzania condemned dumping. Ignored the fat that unscrupulous Tanzanian businesman also have thgeir hands in such schemes. He put the blame whole and squarely on the Chinese only later to claim that he really cannot substantiate if China is the problem!!!
Nyerere alishasema mtu akikuambia upumbavu na anajua anachosema ni upumbavu na wewe ukakubali huo upumbavu basi atakudharau. The man was right!!!
Swali kwa mashabiki wa Mashaka; je is this 'representational faithfulness' or 'political piracy'?
Mr. Mashaka,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your acceptance to talk on issues facing our people.
There has been too many nasty exchanges and personal attacks instead of challenging ideas, coming mainly from fans.I hope our discussion/debate will improve the situation and make people focus more on what is said as opposed to who said what.
I am looking forward to a discussion of ideas.
Just to clarify a serious error by U.S. blogger. President Obama HAS NOT visited Venezuela. He met and shook hands with President Chavez of Venezuela at the Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago last week.
ReplyDeleteNaungana na US Blogger kimawazo
ReplyDelete(Ila jina lake silipendi, kama mwenzetu tafuta jina lingine)Mashaka ana mawazo ya mashaka mashaka tu. US Blogger ni vema katika mjadala kila tunapodai kitu tunatoa ushahidi si kusema sema tu. Kwa mfano, Blogger katoa point muhimu kwamaba wachina hawajichukulii tu mafuta Africa wananunua akma wanavyonunua wengine na katika ununuzi wao ni wasita. Mashaka anasema wana siphon (hii ni lugha ya jazba isiyo na ushahidi na si ya kisomi) yanni wanajinyonyea tu kama watakavyo vile. Sasa kama hawa wanasiphon namba 1 mpaka 5 wanafanya nini na kwa nini basi Mashaka hawazungumzii na kuwachamba maana ni hatari zaidi hawa kuliko wachina? Shule ya Mashaka ya wasi wasi (ya mashaka kweli), ila anajituma kweli kuandika. Kizungu nacho kimempiga chenga na si ajabu kiswahili nacho alishakidharau na hakijui vizuri- tataizo la vijana wengi wa sasa hivi wa kimjinimjini, wanaparamia lugha ya kigeni wanadharau ya kwao wanabaki bila uwezo wa msingi wa lugha yoyote ile.

ReplyDeleteI think people here are to negative for everything.Mr US blogger is right that capitalism is failed the world and Obama and Mr Brown proved that.
ReplyDeleteWhat Mr mashaka said is not always right even though I real respect him.
Mashaka is human being like all others and is not messiah that whenever he came with his Ideas or opinion we must agreed with him no No... No... No.... Capitalism fucked the world and all this mess we are in now is because of Capitalism that is the facts.
What we need to do is to debate and stop bla bla bla
kwani Peter Nalitolela hicho chuo cha"MUZUMBE"kiko nchi gani?na hicho kizungu chako mbona aibu tupu!YAANI NAOMBA USIRUDIE!!na ungekuwa na aibu japo kidogo usingethubutu ku-criticize wachangiaji wengine,badala yake changia mada kwa point zenye mantiki ili tujue umesoma MUZUMBE ya MULOGOLO kweli kweli,Mimi nakushauri US BLOGGER,kama msomi speak your research and your mind kumbuka we ni mwanaume acha fitina!!
ReplyDeleteDaah, hii kali!! Mdau nenda kapige English 101 ndio uje humu kufuka moshi. Mimi Inglishi yangu ni kali sana kuliko yako lakini hata mimi sijathubutu kujiumbua humu kwenye Globu ya jamii. Umemwaga pointless humu na inaonekana una issue na Mashaka basi si umwandikie email mwenyewe? Unapotential nakubali lakini nenda kasome zaidi, humu ndugu yangu maji haya ni marefu.

Imebidi niongezee tu kuwa aisee, USBlogger ukitaka kuchangia hoja jielimishe kwanza. Unaandika kuwa Obama kaenda Venezuela wakati wadau wengi humu wanajua si kweli. kwa hiyo Mzee ongeza ufundi ndio urudi humu na tena inabidi umtake radhi Mashaka na sisi wadau wote kwa kutupotezea muda. Na kabla ya kuwapigia debe wachina inabidi waache kutuchomea nyumba na bidhaa feki.

Us blogger ni mpumbavu tupu. Kiingereza hovyooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo0000000000000000000000000000.
ReplyDeleteDat zako nazo hovyooooooooooooooooo.
Obama hajaenda Venezuela hata siku moja, alikuwa trinidad and Tobago akasalimiana na Chavez huko.
Huna mantiki wewe US blogger ndio maana Mashaka amekuacha mkimya.
Unaonekana wewe ni Msingida blogger na sio Us blogger maana kiingereza chako chote ni cha ku-copy na kupaste kitupu.
UsBlogger, you proved again how stupid you are. You can say i'm a negative person, but man you are so ignorant, you are points(less)are so "politico" nothing constructive, please grow up.
ReplyDeletePeople stop hating.
ReplyDeleteUS Blogger has made important points. When someone comes up with an agenda the least you can do is challenge them, not just cheer up as in "Zidumu Fikra za Mwenyekiti"
It's safe to assume anyone who dares to push an agenda is a grown up, so they should be read for a challenge sio kukimbia kimbia tu eti oh mi sioni umuhimu wa debate ... kwa manufaa ya nani ... etc.
Debate ni kwa manufaa yako mwenyewe unayepush agenda. Bila debate huwezi kuwa na agenda iliyonyooka.

ReplyDeleteOf all people contributing in this blog, there is nobody damn and politician wanna be like the US-blogger. This man is an absolute Idiot. He can not compare himself with the rehotic master John Mashaka. The kid is flowless, and a deep thinker compared to the blogger who is all over the place. Talking about everything everywhere. In such a forum you have to know your audience. there are people here with multiple phD's and we are quite. Yet this idiot blogger comes here to claim he has an oxford degree. If he does then he should wrte something bearing his name like Mashaka does.
Mr. Blogger, you lack self confidence, neither do you have the guts to come into the open to tell people who you are because you know that you are nobody than a sore loser. People support and loves Mashaka because he talks of things people wants to hear. He may not have the solution, but he vividly spits all he ahs, and that is why he is pushing his ideas as debates. if you have something you can contribute your thoughts not just emerging out of nowhere to call him a PIRATE. What are you then? A fool?
Indeed you are a fool, a whinner and a confused element. You need to go back as many people have said, to class and learn English 101. Your grammer stinks, usage of words poor, flow of ideas 0% and that means you have failed. If I was your english teacher, i would have disowned you for being such a shame and embarassment. good for you people dont know your name, and you better remain anonymous.I think your stupidity has elevated Mashaka far and beyond because with all your rantling, you have proved that, he was too far above you. Lastly, ask yourself a simple question, why do all these people see you like a looser? because you are a loser.
Get a life Mr. blogger, stop wasting our vauable time with cheap stupid postings. I have been skeptical of Mashaka, but now, I have come to realize that he has leadership potential and is one of those kids we must support as a society. He is very composed,very keen, calm and wise. He thinks from heart and very deeply. People like you have pushed things alittle too far by making him a little god. Kwa hiyo ndugu yangu nadhani umepata funza kwa kujifanya kujua wakati haujui kwamba haujui. Jaribu kujifunza ule msemo "usianze ugomvi wa mawe wakati unaishi kwenye nyumba ya vioo"
Uliyoyaanzisha ndo haya yanayokupata. Ikiwa unajiamini, basi ubandike jina lako tukutambue. You either shut up or shame is going to shut you up, because you are insulting even women which is a big shame

ReplyDeletendugu yangu inabidi ujifunze, angalai mashaka alivyo na mbwa wa ulinzi wakali kuliko pilipili.
yaani ukimchokoza mashaka jitayarishe, watakutoa roho. ila bwana unakoroga sana
sisi masenene tunakuwa hatuna mbinu tena, nenda kwa peter nalitolela akupe darasa pale muzumbe pengine utapata mbinu ya kumpinga nabii mtakatifu mashaka
ila ujue mashaka ana sungusungu wakali wenye mbwe ambao wakiachiwa umekwisha. mwambi mkeo akukande leo. hayo machungu siyo ya kawaida
ingekuwa hawa ni wanasiasa, us blogger angedai kwamba mashaka ametoa rshwa ndio maana anakubalika, lakini ni wazi kwamba mshaka hapa anakubalika kutokana na sera zake. us blogger hana sera ndio maana globu anapona pachungu
ReplyDeleteNdgu Mwanakijiji:

Nadhani hiyo posti ni yako, na ningependa kukuuliza swali au maswali machache, kwani umelileta swala la Mashaka katika muda muafaka.
Wewe mwenyewe kama mwandishi wa Habari, kuna matukio mengi tu ya kitaifa mema na mabaya ambayo yametendeka katika nchi yetu.
Mimi binafsi umenihoji na jina sitataja, ila napenda kukuuliza swali au maswali machache?
1.Je ni lini umejitokeza ukaipongeza serikali ya Tanzania kwa mema ambayo imeyatenda.
Hili swali linatokana na ukweli kwamba, kila mara unapowahoji viongozi wa nchi yetu umekuwa ni mtu wa kulalamika, hili baya na lil baya.Haujatoa pongezi hata siku moja
Hebu tupe suluhisho ya haya matatizo unayoyafuatilia bila kutoa suluhisho?
2. Ni lini umekuja nchini Tanzania ukajionea hali halisi ya mambo. Wewe unatupigia parapanda na mazuri unayoyataka wakati unakula kuku kwa mrija, unadhani nani atakutilia maanani?
3. Mpaka wa leo hatukuji jina, na kampuni yako imesajiliwa na nani, viongozi wake ni wakina nani na wako wapi?
4. Unasambaza jarida la cheche bure, ina maana ya kwamba kuna mtu anayeilipia gharama za uchapishaji wake. Tunaomba kuwajua hao wadhamini wako.
5. Kuna tetesi kwamba hivi karibuni kiongozi mmoja alikuja na kitika kikubwa sana na mkakutana naye, je hizi habari unazipokea vipi?
Ndugu mwanakijiji, nadhani muda umefika kuwavalia njuga watu wanaoturubuni na kutuona kama daraja la kuvukia umasikini. Naomba uyajibu hayo maswali kwa unyenyekevu.
