Interreligious Action for Peace and Inclusive Communities” with particular focus on radicalism and religious ex- tremism, the United Evangelical Mission (UEM) in collaboration with the Zan- zibar Interfaith Centre (ZANZIC) organized an interfaith conference in Zanzi- bar from 20 – 23 September 2019. Seventy participants, from eleven countries in Africa, Asia and Europe rep- resenting Muslim, Christian, Jewish and Buddhist religious communities came together in order, not only to learn from the interfaith context in Zanzibar and to share experiences form of interfaith contexts in different countries and re- gions, but also to discuss strategies191 and best practices in interfaith action for building peace and inclusive communities. At the end of the conference a joint message has been released and made public in a peace march at Stone Town on 23 September 2020. Participants, as expressed in this message, believe that God “calls upon... religions to walk hand in hand and to work together as beacons for peace, to establish networking structures and to continue our common interreligious journey for peace and inclusive communities.”1 Therefore, representatives from the different religions present at the conference committed themselves to address jointly global injus- tices and to fight radicalism and violence. The first conference under the same theme “Peace among the People. Interre- ligious Action for Peace and Inclusive Communities” took place in Germany in 2017 and the documentation is available.2 With the second interfaith gathering in Zanzibar, the pilgrimage for Justice and Peace was continued. The message and the contributions from the conference are published in this documentation. The UEM expresses special thanks to the Interfaith Centre Zanzibar (ZAN- ZIC), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania / Eastern Coastal Diocese (ELCT-ECD), the Catholic Diocese of Zanzibar, the Anglican Church of Zanzi- bar, the Waqf and Trust

  • Did They Perform? Assessing fi Ve Years of Bunge 2005-2010
    Policy Brief: TZ.11/2010E Did they perform? Assessing fi ve years of Bunge 2005-2010 1. Introducti on On July 16th 2010, following the completi on of the 20th session of the Bunge, the President of Tanzania dissolved the 9th Parliament. This event marked the end of the term for Members of Parliament who were elected during the 2005 general electi ons. Now that the last session has been completed it allows us to look back and to consider how MPs performed during their tenure. Did they parti cipate acti vely and represent their consti tuencies by asking questi ons and making interventi ons, or were they silent backbenchers? The Bunge is the Supreme Legislature of Tanzania. The Bunge grants money for running the administrati on and oversees government programs and plans. The Bunge oversees the acti ons of the Executi ve and serves as watchdog to ensure that government is accountable to its citi zens. To achieve all this, Members of Parliament pass laws, authorize taxati on and scruti nize government policies including proposal for expenditure; and debate major issues of the day. For the Bunge to eff ecti vely carry out its oversight role, acti ve parti cipati on by Members of Parliament is criti cal. MPs can be acti ve by making three kinds of interventi ons: they can ask basic questi ons, they can ask supplementary questi ons and they can make contributi ons during debates. This brief follows earlier briefs, the last of which was released in August 2010. It presents seven facts on the performance of MPs, including rati ng who were the most acti ve and least acti ve MPs.

  • THE RISE and FALL of the GOVERNMENT of NATIONAL UNITY in ZANZIBAR a Critical Analysis of the 2015 Elections
    162 DOI: 10.20940/JAE/2018/v17i1aDOI: 10.20940/JAE/2018/v17i1a8 JOURNAL8 OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS THE RISE AND FALL OF THE GOVERNMENT OF NATIONAL UNITY IN ZANZIBAR A Critical Analysis of the 2015 elections Nicodemus Minde, Sterling Roop and Kjetil Tronvoll Nicodemus Minde is a PhD candidate in the United States International University – Africa, Nairobi, Kenya Sterling Roop is a political analyst in Telluride, Co., USA Kjetil Tronvoll is Director, Oslo Analytica and Professor and Research Director, Peace and Conflict studies at Bjorknes University College, Oslo, Norway ABSTRACT This article analyses the pitfalls that characterised the emergence and eventual demise of the Government of National Unity (GNU) in Tanzania’s semi-autonomous region of Zanzibar. Drawn from continuous political and electoral observations in Zanzibar, the article analyses how the 2015 general elections contributed to the eventual dissolution of the GNU. The GNU in Zanzibar was a negotiated political settlement between two parties – the incumbent Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) and the Civic United Front (CUF). In particular, this article looks at how the start of the constitutional review process in Tanzania contributed to the withering of the GNU. Despite its undeniably noble agenda, the constitutional review process resuscitated old enmities between CCM and the CUF. The two parties’ divergent stances on the structure of the Union revived the rifts that characterised their relationship before the GNU. We analyse the election cycle rhetoric following the run-up to the elections and how this widened the GNU fissures leading to its eventual demise after the re-election in March 2016. After the 2015 elections were nullified, the CUF, which had claimed victory, boycotted the re-election.
