Lucy Phd Thesis Submitted August 2014 From Southern Africa to the Great Lakes Region: Challenges to Tanzanian Foreign Policy and Conflict Resolution in Sub- Saharan Africa Lucy Shule BA (Hons), MA This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Newcastle, Australia June 2014 ii Statement of Originality I hereby certify that the work embodied in this thesis is the result of original research and has not been submitted for a higher degree to any other University or Institution, and to the best of my knowledge, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where reference has been made. I give consent to the final version of my thesis being made available worldwide, when deposited in the University’s Digital Repository, subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. Signed: Date: 27 June 2014 iii Acknowledgements This thesis involved the assistance of many individuals and institutions. I am grateful to all who helped me in various ways and in different capacities. My deep appreciation is to my supervisors Prof. Wayne Reynolds and Dr. Robert Imre who moulded me to write and argue logically. I am specifically grateful for their encouragement, support and guidance in all the stages of this work. Discussions with them, detailed comments, suggestions and even criticisms prompted my thinking and made this work possible. I am most indebted to the University of Newcastle through the Social Change and Development shared scholarship coordinated by Mr. David Wise. Without this sponsorship I would neither have an opportunity to pursue my programme at Newcastle nor would I have taken a short time to complete. I am also thankful to the Southern African Defence and Security Management (SADSEM) and colleagues in the Network. In 2006 the Network’s internship programme offered by the Centre for Defence and Security (CDSM) at the Wits University provided an opportunity to sharpen my research methodology skills and develop further the research topic; this culminated in my work. Early drafts of the proposal were strengthened immeasurably by comments from several individuals. I should single out and thank Prof. Andre du Pisani (University of Namibia), Prof. Anthoni van Nieuwkerk (CDSM); Prof. Nestor Luanda, Amb. Prof. Abillah Omari, and Amb. Dr. Mohammed Maundi. Their academic inputs largely contributed to the writing of this thesis. I would also like to thank Amb. Dr. Salim Ahmed Salim and Prof. Gaudens Mpangala for sparing time to permit me discuss with them about this study. I am humbly grateful to Prof. Hamudi Majamba, Dr. Laurean Ndumbaro and Amb. Dr. Ahmed Kiwanuka, who curiously kept on reading several drafts of this thesis. Dr. Norbert Mtavangu and Dr. Gastor Mapunda provided professional editorial advice for the final draft. Since this work is largely a result of documentary analysis, I would like to thank the following individuals and staff members of the following institutions for their assistance; the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) library, the East African Community (EAC) library, the Centre for Foreign Relations library, the University of Dar es Salaam library, the University of Newcastle (Australia) library, staff members of the Department of National Archives and Records Management, Parliament offices, particularly Dr. Thomas D. Kashililah and Mr. Emmanuel Mpanda. I am also grateful to my colleagues and friends, particularly Emily Ondondo and Aley Nassor. I owe deep emotional gratitude to my family. Thanks to parents Scholastica Ferdinand and John Shule for teaching us to strive for knowledge. And thanks to mama for inculcating in us the values of hard working and perseverance. I am grateful to Edward, Mary, Safari, Margareth and Rosina; nieces and nephews. I immensely value their steadfast support. Finally, Dr. Vicensia Shule and Lukio – you know why! I dedicate this work to my parents and our beloved late sister, Rose Diana (Eng.), who inspired us into the academics. iv Table of Contents Statement of Originality

  • Situation Report #2, Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 March 25, 2003 Note: the Last Situation Report Was Dated November 18, 2002
    U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT BUREAU FOR DEMOCRACY, CONFLICT, AND HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE (DCHA) OFFICE OF U.S. FOREIGN DISASTER ASSISTANCE (OFDA) BURUNDI – Complex Emergency Situation Report #2, Fiscal Year (FY) 2003 March 25, 2003 Note: The last situation report was dated November 18, 2002. BACKGROUND The Tutsi minority, which represents 14 percent of Burundi’s 6.85 million people, has dominated the country politically, militarily, and economically since national independence in 1962. Approximately 85 percent of Burundi’s population is Hutu, and approximately one percent is Twa (Batwa). The current cycle of violence began in October 1993 when members within the Tutsi-dominated army assassinated the first freely elected President, Melchoir Ndadaye (Hutu), sparking Hutu-Tutsi fighting. Ndadaye’s successor, Cyprien Ntariyama (Hutu), was killed in a plane crash on April 6, 1994, alongside Rwandan President Habyarimana. Sylvestre Ntibantunganya (Hutu) took power and served as President until July 1996, when a military coup d’etat brought current President Pierre Buyoya (Tutsi) to power. Since 1993, an estimated 300,000 Burundians have been killed. In August 2000, nineteen Burundian political parties signed the Peace and Reconciliation Agreement in Arusha, Tanzania, overseen by peace process facilitator, former South African President Nelson Mandela. The Arusha Peace Accords include provisions for an ethnically balanced army and legislature, and for democratic elections to take place after three years of transitional government. The three-year transition period began on November 1, 2001. President Pierre Buyoya is serving as president for the first 18 months of the transition period, to be followed in May 2003 by a Hutu president for the final 18 months.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MCW Communications Team Tel: (212) 453-5811 www.miraclecorners.org / [email protected] MCW HOSTS DINNER FOR JAKAYA MRISHO KIKWETE, TANZANIAN PRESIDENT Dinner Brings Attention to MCW-MUHAS Oral Healthcare Project and Need to Promote Maternal Health NEW YORK, New York, October 2, 2009 – Miracle Corners of the World (MCW), a non- profit organization that empowers youth to be positive agents of change in their communities, honored Tanzanian President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete at a special dinner in New York City last week joined by the Minister of Health and Social Welfare Professor David Mwakyusa. The event gave the president and minister the opportunity to meet MCW’s community of friends and supporters, and to highlight the East African country’s healthcare priorities. In his remarks, the president expressed his appreciation for MCW’s work in re-equipping the clinics at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences’ Dental School (MUHAS) in Dar es Salaam. He also stressed the need to improve the country’s maternal healthcare capabilities and challenged the dinner attendees to help Tanzania tackle the problem, noting that many deaths could be prevented through simple interventions. The event was organized and hosted by the Bergman family, including Henry Schein Inc. Chairman and CEO Stanley Bergman and MCW Healthcare Projects Director Dr. Marion Bergman, as well as MCW Co-founder and Executive Director Eddie Bergman, at their private residence. “MCW has a longstanding relationship with Tanzania, dating back to 2001 when the organization built its first youth center in Arusha,” Dr. Bergman said. “Thanks to the support of the president and the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, we are currently working with MUHAS and a broad range of private sector partners from the United States to turn the Dental School into a regional center of excellence.

    Tanzanian Affairs Text 1 Issued by the Britain-Tanzania Society No 104 Jan - April 2013 Big Progress in Transport Death of a Journalist A Tale of Two Museums Meaning in Miscellanea Faith News BIG PROGRESS IN TRANSPORT New ‘no frills’ airline launched A new ‘no frills’ airline called ‘Fastjet’, modelled on the Easyjet airline which has revolutionised air travel in Europe, was launched in Africa on November 29th. The famous entrepreneur Sir Stelios Haji Ioannou, who started Easyjet, has joined with Lonrho’s airline, which flies in West Africa to establish the new group. Significantly, Fastjet chose to begin in Tanzania and Dar es Salaam airport will be its first African hub. It has already leased two planes, has 15 more on order (all Airbus A319s with a capacity for up to 156 passengers), and plans to build up to a fleet of 40. Tanzania’s dynamic Minister of Transport, Dr Harrison Mwakyembe, spoke about the unusually speedy implementation of this vast project when he addressed a crowded AGM of the Britain Tanzania Society in London in mid November. Fastjet plans to expand from Tanzania into Kenya in 2013 and then to Ghana and Angola which are already served by the Lonrho airline. It is advertising for pilots, passenger services agents, cabin crew and crew managers and also for retail sales agents in the East African media. ‘Taking the country by storm.’ The Citizen wrote that the launch had taken the country by storm, as the airline transported 900 passengers in eight flights from Dar to Mwanza and Kilimanjaro and back on its first day! The airline’s management told investors that demand for seats on these routes far outstripped supply.

  • Ethnolinguistic Favoritism in African Politics ONLINE APPENDIX
    Ethnolinguistic Favoritism in African Politics ONLINE APPENDIX Andrew Dickensy For publication in the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics yBrock University, Department of Economics, 1812 Sir Issac Brock Way, L2S 3A2, St. Catharines, ON, Canada (email: [email protected]). 1 A Data Descriptions, Sources and Summary Statistics A.1 Regional-Level Data Description and Sources Country-language groups: Geo-referenced country-language group data comes from the World Language Mapping System (WLMS). These data map information from each language in the Ethnologue to the corresponding polygon. When calculating averages within these language group polygons, I use the Africa Albers Equal Area Conic projection. Source: http://www.worldgeodatasets.com/language/ Linguistic similarity: I construct two measures of linguistic similarity: lexicostatistical similarity from the Automatic Similarity Judgement Program (ASJP), and cladistic similar- ity using Ethnologue data from the WLMS. I use these to measure the similarity between each language group and the ethnolinguistic identity of that country's national leader. I discuss how I assign a leader's ethnolinguistic identity in Section 1 of the paper. Source: http://asjp.clld.org and http://www.worldgeodatasets.com/language/ Night lights: Night light intensity comes from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). My measure of night lights is calculated by averaging across pixels that fall within each WLMS country-language group polygon for each year the night light data is available (1992-2013). To minimize area distortions I use the Africa Albers Equal Area Conic pro- jection. In some years data is available for two separate satellites, and in all such cases the correlation between the two is greater than 99% in my sample.
