collaborators. On the contrary, we would hope that our long term
involvement would help attract greater consistency from other partners.”

Musician Recaptures Tanzanians Lost Glory
Tanzania has regained its lost glory in world of music fame that has dwindled since the eighties.
When the name of Tanzania is currently mentioned in international
music circles the name of Ebrahim Makunja popularly known as Ras Makunja
of FFU and his “The Ngoma Africa Band” aka FFU based in Germany cannot
be slighted. FFU has earnestly strived to place Tanzania in the
international music charts.
It is the only Tanzanian band that is based overseas. Its
contribution in the music industry both in Tanzania, East Africa and
abroad is superb. The band has often been able to bring its records to
radio stations back at home.
Many of their hits touch the souls of their fans. Two of their hits,
which are very popular in local radio stations and contained in “50
Uhuru Anniversary” CD are “Shangwe”, and “Miaka 50 ya Uhuru”. The rumba
style songs are composed by band leader Ras Makunja.
He pairs in singing with the comical solo guitarist Chris-B. Apart
from the well composed lyrics and the highly perfected musical beat the
songs carry very strong and emotional messages to the community. Their
messages are acclaimed not only in Tanzania but world all over.
Ras Makunja of FU, is not only a seasoned tactful and artistic
composed. He too has visionary messages to the society. To call him
Kamanda (Commander) Ras Makunja is not demeaning him.
He ensured that two of his CDs including “Jakaya Kikwete 2010″ which
claimed global fame reached more than 310 radio stations in the world.
This CD earned him the mark of being a hard headed musician from some
quarters.
His band now dubbed FFU (Fanya Fujo Uone) literally means creates
chaos and see, immediately came up with a CD “Anti Corruption Squad”
which has the song “Rushwa ni Adui wa Haki”. The fans see this song as
the Al-Albadir of the corrupt.
The song was a smash hit within Tanzanians. It placed Ras Makunja and
his band ‘Ngoma Afrika’ not only as ordinary musicians in the musical
arena. They had something else to offer the society apart from the usual
entertainment. Visionary eye opening and soul searching messages.
Yet despite all this no one seems to realize the onerous task that
this musicians does. They have never been ordained with a single medal
here at home. As a popular Swahili goes “Asiyekuwepo na lake halipo” (He
who is not there (present) so is his/her share). Ras Makunja and Ngoma
Afrika may not be with us, but his works and messages are!
The official web of the band is www.ngoma-africa.com One can become a
fan member of the band by signing up. The good work the band is doing
in promoting Tanzania in the field of music deserves local support both
in cash and form.
ICTR KUTOA HUKUMU YA KAPTEINI NIZEYIMANA JUNI 19
ASHURA MOHAMED-ARUSHA
Mahakama ya Kimataifa ya Mauaji ya Kimbari ya Rwanda (ICTR) itatoa hukumu ya kesi inayomkabili afisa wa zamani wa jeshi la Rwanda, Kapteni Idelphonse Nizeyimana Juni 19, 2012, kwa mujibu wa taarifa iliyotolewa na mahakama hiyo Ijumaa.
Nizeyimana anakabiliwa na mashitaka ya mauaji ya kimbari, kuteketeza kizazi, mauaji na ubakaji.
Mwendesha
mashitaka pamoja na mambo mengine anadai kwamba mshitakiwa alikuwa mtu
wa pili kimadaraka aliyekuwa anashughulikia Usalama na Operesheni za
Kijeshi katika Chuo cha Maafisa wa Jeshi Wasiokuwa na Kamisheni (ESO),
mkoani Butare, Kusini ya Rwanda.
Nizeyimana
anadaiwa kuamuru, kusimamia na kupanga mauaji dhidi ya Watutsi katika
maeneo mbalimbali mkoani humo ikiwa ni pamoja na mauaji dhidi ya Malkia
wa Kitutsi, Rosalie Gicanda Aprili 21, 1994.
Katika
kuwasilisha hoja za mwisho Desemba 7, 2011, mwendesha mashitaka
aliiomba mahakama iliyokuwa inaongozwa na Jaji Lee Muthoga, kumpatia
adhabu ya juu kabisa inayoweza kutolewa na mahakama hiyo ya kifungo cha
maisha jela iwapo atatiwa hatiani.
‘’Adhabu
pekee muafaka kwa mujibu wa mwendesha mashitaka ni kumpatia kifungo cha
maisha jela ,’’ alipendekeza Mwendesha Mashitaka, Drew White.
White
pia hakulifumbia macho suala la madai ya kuhusika kwa mshitakiwa katika
mauaji dhidi Malkia wa Kitutsi, Rosalie Gicanda kwa kueleza kwamba,
mashahidi wawili wa kuaminika wa upande wa mwendesha mashitaka walitoa
ushahidi wao akiwemo mjukuu wake na mpishi.
Hata
hivyo, John Philpot, Wakili Kiongozi wa Nizeyimana alipangua hoja za
mwendesha mashitaka kwa kusema kuwa ameshindwa kuthibitisha mashitaka
dhidi ya mteja wake pasipo mashaka. Alisema kwamba mteja wake alichukua
hatua sahihi zilizopaswa kuchukuchukiwa na askari nyakati za vita.
‘’Mteja
wangu hakuwa kiongozi wa ESO, hakuwa na mamlaka kamili na hakuwa na
mamlaka ya kisheria juu ya askari waliodaiwa kuwa chini ya himaya
yake,’’ alisema wakili huyo.
Pia
wakili huyo aliwasilisha ushahidi wa kuwa mteja wake wakati fulani
hakuwepo katika maeneo yalikofanyika uhalifu kwenye miezi ya Aprili na
Mei, 1994 bali muda huo alikuwa katika kiwanda cha Chai cha Mata, mkoani
Gikongoro akiendesha mafunzo ya kijeshi kwa askari wapya.
‘’Kesi
hii sasa iko mikononi mwenu. Tunawaomba kusimama katika ukweli na haki
kumwachia huru Nizeyimana,’’ Nizeyimana aliwaomba majaji alipokuwa
anakamilisha kuwasilisha hoja zake za mwisho.
Nizeyimana
alitiwa mbaroni nchini Uganda, Oktoba 5, 2009 na kuhamishiwa katika
gereza la Mahakama ya Umoja wa Mataifa Arusha, Tanzania, siku
iliyofuata. Alikana mashitaka dhidi yake alipofikishwa mahakamani kwa
mara ya kwanza Oktoba 14, 2009.
Kesi
yake ilianza kusikilizwa Januari 17, 2011 ambapo mwendesha mashitaka
aliita mashahidi 38 na upande wa utetezi pia uliita idadi sawa na hiyo
na kufunga kesi yake Februari 25, 2011.
