Human rights groups condemned the shooting as a "cowardly attack". Tundu was active in Human Rights issues and critical of the extractive industries based on his experiences; in the 1990's, he had confronted Barrick Gold about the forcible removal of artisanal gold miners which obviously had led to the death of 50 miners. Tundu was invited for the conference 'Human Rights, Future Generations and Crimes of the Nuclear Age ' in Basel, Switzerland, on 14. - 17. Sep 2017. He wanted to report about uranium mining in a nature reserve in Selous. (uranium-network.org Sep. 8, 2017) Report calls for tight regulation of uranium mining in Tanzania: > View here Uranium discovered in northern Tanzania: There are traces of uranium at Lake Jipe, located in northern Tanzania according to preliminary findings by the Tanzania Minerals Audit Agency (TMAA). TMAA's Planning and Research Development Manager, Julius Moshi told East African Business Week the geologists are currently conducting tests to determine the quantity and economic viability of the uranium. The discovery of uranium in Mwanga, Kilimanjaro (Northern Tanzania), brings to four regions where uranium deposits have been found. (East African Business Week Aug. 12, 2013) Analyst advises caution on uranium mining safety: Stringent measures must be taken to ensure that uranium mining does not compromise the safety of people and the environment, an academician has suggested. Dr Priva M. Moshi of Tumaini University, Masoka Campus in Moshi, said Tanzania must learn from other countries on the necessary safety measures needed in uranium mining before commencement of extraction of the radio-active mineral. "Uranium mining has been problematic even in the developed countries because of its life-threatening hazards. Are we ready for its catastrophe?" he asked during a forum which ended here yesterday (Sunday) on Post 2015 Global Development Agenda. He said before mining of the mineral commences, adequate safety measures must be put in place, noting that experiences of other countries should be taken on board to contain any harmful radiation that people may get exposed to. (The Citizen Dec. 31, 2012) Tanzania's defence minister urges strengthening of armed forces in wake of discoveries of uranium and other resources: In the wake of new discoveries of uranium, gas and ongoing oil exploration, Tanzania is becoming vulnerable to attacks from outside and is keen on strengthening its armed forces. Defence Minister Shamsi Vuai Nahodha said here that as the country gets richer in natural resource reserves, it also becomes a potential target for enemies from within and outside the borders, including overseas countries that may want to plunder such riches. (Daily News Dec. 3, 2012) NGO calls for halt of uranium mining projects in Tanzania until public is educated on hazards: Tanzania should stop implementation of uranium mining projects until the public is well sensitized and educated on its serious side effects to human and environments. Apart from education, activists have also cautioned on the possible health and environmental effects calling for companies' maximum commitment and precautions on possible environmental hazards. Speaking to reporters in Dares Salaam, Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) Acting Executive Director Ms Imelda Urio said the centre has discovered the government is almost done with at least two potential uranium investors but cautioned the mining activities should be halted first until a clear policy, regulations and legislation on the same are in place. “The government has to stop all the processes regarding the uranium mining until necessary intervention are drafted first apart from public education which is equally very important,” said Ms Imelda Urio, the Centre’s Acting Executive Director. She added that the government should not rush into uranium mining without gathering enough local expertise on how to go about hazards that are likely to cause countless effects and massive loses to people and environment. Other areas to be considered before the mining according to her include the fact that a lot of water, power and land will be needed for the major undertaking and whether the government was ready to make sure those facilities are readily available without causing any harm. (Daily News Nov. 28, 2012) New report points out hazards of proposed uranium mining in Tanzania and deficiencies in regulatory framework: "This report draws our attention to two important factors. First, it highlights negative impacts of uranium mining and related health hazards on human and livestock, and its long lasting impact on the environment. Secondly, the report highlights the gaps and weaknesses in the mining policy and legal framework in relation to uranium mining." > Download: Uranium Mining in Tanzania: Are We Ready? Community Scoping Study in the Exploration Areas and the Legal Framework, by Evans Rubara, jointly published by: Tanzania Episcopal Conference (TEC), National Muslim Council of Tanzania (BAKWATA) and Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT), August 2012 Christian Council of Tanzania cautions government over uranium extraction: The Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT) has cautioned the government over uranium extraction, saying that the country should focus on capacity building first. The CCT Chairman, Dr Peter Kitula, said this at a press briefing in Dar es Salaam on Monday (June 11), which came in the wake of the CCT's Executive Board meeting in Dodoma over the weekend. "We thank God for having blessed us with various types of minerals. Of late, uranium deposits have been discovered in Ruvuma, Dodoma and Singida regions but we believe it is not the right time to engage uranium mining," he noted. Bishop Kitula noted that the CCT's concern on the matter comes after considering incidents like the one which took place in Japan a few months ago where several people were affected following a nuclear accident. "We are witnessing Japan and Germany closing up nuclear electricity sources amid the fear that the source which is a product of uranium can cause devastating harm to humans and living organisms," he said. (Daily News June 12, 2012) 20,000 signatures against uranium mining handed over to Tanzanian embassy in Germany: On Sep. 2, 2011, 20,000 signatures against uranium mining in Tanzania were handed over to the embassy of Tanzania in Berlin. The signatures were collected in Germany by NGOs uranium-network.org , Rettet den Regenwald , tanzania-network.de , and NABU International .

Mr Tindu Lissu, the Singida East MP (Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo, Chadema), said his decision follows a petition signed by over 3,000 wananchi [people] from Bahi District in Dodoma and Manyoni in Singida which he had received. He said they decided to write the petition, which he expects to table as a private motion, after learning that the government has granted a license for uranium extraction in their area to Mantra Resources Limited.

    Tanzanian Affairs Issued by the Britain-Tanzania Society No 124 Sept 2019 Feathers Ruffled in CCM Plastic Bag Ban TSh 33 trillion annual budget Ben Taylor: FEATHERS RUFFLED IN CCM Two former Secretary Generals of the ruling party, CCM, Abdulrahman Kinana and Yusuf Makamba, stirred up a very public argument at the highest levels of the party in July. They wrote a letter to the Elders’ Council, an advisory body within the party, warning of the dangers that “unfounded allegations” in a tabloid newspaper pose to the party’s “unity, solidarity and tranquillity.” Selection of newspaper covers from July featuring the devloping story cover photo: President Magufuli visits the fish market in Dar-es-Salaam following the plastic bag ban (see page 5) - photo State House Politics 3 This refers to the frequent allegations by publisher, Mr Cyprian Musiba, in his newspapers and on social media, that several senior figures within the party were involved in a plot to undermine the leadership of President John Magufuli. The supposed plotters named by Mr Musiba include Kinana and Makamba, as well as former Foreign Affairs Minister, Bernard Membe, various opposition leaders, government officials and civil society activists. Mr Musiba has styled himself as a “media activist” seeking to “defend the President against a plot to sabotage him.” His publications have consistently backed President Magufuli and ferociously attacked many within the party and outside, on the basis of little or no evidence. Mr Makamba and Mr Kinana, who served as CCM’s secretary generals between 2009 to 2011 and 2012-2018 respectively, called on the party’s elders to intervene.

  • India-Tanzania Bilateral Relations
    INDIA-TANZANIA BILATERAL RELATIONS Tanzania and India have enjoyed traditionally close, friendly and co-operative relations. From the 1960s to the 1980s, the political relationship involved shared commitments to anti-colonialism, non-alignment as well as South-South Cooperation and close cooperation in international fora. The then President of Tanzania (Mwalimu) Dr. Julius Nyerere was held in high esteem in India; he was conferred the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding for 1974, and the International Gandhi Peace Prize for 1995. In the post-Cold War period, India and Tanzania both initiated economic reform programmes around the same time alongside developing external relations aimed at broader international political and economic relations, developing international business linkages and inward foreign investment. In recent years, India-Tanzania ties have evolved into a modern and pragmatic relationship with sound political understanding, diversified economic engagement, people to people contacts in the field of education & healthcare, and development partnership in capacity building training, concessional credit lines and grant projects. The High Commission of India in Dar es Salaam has been operating since November 19, 1961 and the Consulate General of India in Zanzibar was set up on October 23, 1974.

  • Biashara & Haki Za Binadamu Tanzania
    photo courtesy of HakiArdhi MUHTASARI JUU YA “BIASHARA & HAKI ZA BINADAMU TANZANIA”- ROBO YA KWANZA YA MWAKA: JANUARI – MACHI 2020 Mwezi Machi 2020, wadau wakubwa kutoka asasi za kiraia, wafanyabiashara na wakala mbali mbali wa serikali kutoka Tanzania Bara na Zanzibar walikutana jijini Dar es Salaam kujadili juu ya “haki za ardhi na mazingira” wakati wa Mjadala wa pili wa mwaka wa Wadau mbalimbali juu ya Biashara na Haki za Binadamu (Kumb.E1). “Haki za ardhi na mazingira” zilionekana kama masuala mtambuka yanayoathiri haki za wengi kwa njia tofauti tofauti nchini Tanzania. Hivyo basi, masuluhisho ya kudumu kwa ajili ya kushughulikia migogoro mingi inayohusiana na ardhi nchini ni muhimu katika kuhakikisha kuna haki za msingi kwa wote. Wakati wa mkutano wa wadau mbalimbali, chunguzi kifani nne juu ya mambo ya sasa yanayohusu “haki za ardhi na mazingira” (Kumb.E2) ziliwasilishwa na asasi za kiraia za Tanzania (Kumb.E1). Tafiti zao zilijikita kwenye mipango ya kuongeza usalama wa umiliki wa ardhi na mivutano kati ya uhifadhi na haki za jamii. Tafiti hizi zinathibitisha kwamba ardhi ni rasilimali muhimu sana kwa uchumi wa Watanza- nia, lakini mara nyingi ni chanzo cha mivutano vijijini kwa sababu ya mahitaji ya ushindani ya watumiaji wengi wa ardhi, kama vile jamii dhidi ya wawekezaji (wa utalii) au jamii za kawaida dhidi ya mamlaka za uhifadhi (Kumb.E2, E3). Wanawake wanakabiliwa na changamoto kadhaa za ziada katika kupata ardhi na hivyo maisha yao kuathiriwa (Kumb.E4, E5). Kutokuwepo kwa haki rasmi za ardhi na mipango ya matumizi ya ardhi katika maeneo mengi ya nchi kunasababisha changamoto zisizoisha zinazohusiana na ardhi.

    Tanzanian Affairs Issued by the Britain-Tanzania Society No 121 Sept 2018 Defections to CCM Govt defends Steigler’s Gorge Project Obituary - Derek Ingram Ben Taylor: POLITICS Changes at the top of government and party President Magufuli carried out a minor cabinet reshuffle in July, the most prominent act of which was the sacking of the ambitious Home Affairs Minister, Mwigulu Nchemba. In his place, the President President Magufuli at the controls of the new Air Tanzania Boeing 787-800 Dreamliner (See “Transport”) - photo State House cover photo: Steigler’s Gorge where new dam is proposed (see “Tourism & Environmental Conservation”) photo © Greg Armfield / WWF Politics 3 promoted Kangi Lugola from his position as Deputy Minister of State in the Vice President’s Office for Union Affairs and the Environment. The reshuffle also saw Isack Kamwelwe and Prof Makame Mbarawa swap places as Minister of Water and Irrigation and Minister of Works, Transport and Communication, with Prof Mbarawa moving to the water docket. While not a cabinet post, the President also appointed a new chairman of the National Electoral Commission, Justice Semistocles Kaijage. This followed a few weeks after the long-standing CCM Secretary General, Abdul-Rahman Kinana, resigned from his post. President Magufuli, as party chairman, moved swiftly to appoint Dr Bashiru Ally as his replacement. The appointment was confirmed by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC). President Magufuli, while not mentioning former Minister Nchemba by name, appeared to explain the reasons for his sacking in a speech two days later. He listed a long series of problems at the Home Affairs Ministry, including a controversial TSh 37bn contract where the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) said in his report that the work was not done, despite the payment of billions of shillings.

  • Dam Building by the Illiberal Modernisers
    What holds back dam building? The role of Brazil in the stagnation of dams in Tanzania Barnaby Joseph Dye Global Development Institute, The University of Manchester, UK [email protected]; @BarnabyJDye FutureDAMS Working Paper 006 December 2019 ISBN: 978-1-913093-05-1 Cite this paper as: Dye, Barnaby Joseph (2019) What holds back dam building? The role of Brazil in the stagnation of dams in Tanzania. FutureDAMS Working Paper 006. Manchester: The University of Manchester. www. futuredams.org Abstract Across Africa, a number of major dam projects have been resurrected, often with the backing of the so-called emerging powers. However, many are yet to reach construction and are stuck in the early phases of implementation, with studies ongoing. This paper examines this issue in Tanzania, where eight dam projects were pursued between 2005 and 2017 yet only one reached construction. Beyond the literature on anti-dam activists, there is little analysis of the more technical, financial and policy-making processes that cause such stalling of dam projects. Therefore, this paper focuses on the Brazilian government and two companies, Odebrecht and Queiroz Galvão, as the international enablers of two dams in Tanzania, the Stiegler’s Gorge and Mnyera projects. It demonstrates the significance of two drivers in undermining these dams construction. One was the inconsistency resulting from Brazil’s heavily presidential foreign policy that oscillated from strong support for Africa relations and infrastructure projects between 2010-2012, to a withdrawal of diplomatic and financial support since. The second driver was the degree to which Brazilian governmental and private sector actors misread Tanzanian politics, not understanding the degree of fragmentation in the ruling party and how this affected policymaking.
