Popular Resistance in Tanzapia: Lessons. from the Horace Compbell Songo. Songo UlliYenhy of .oar ,. SlIIam Introduction During the 1980's in rural Tanzania, there arose a "traditional" army called ~e SUNGU SUNGU.":This army as~bed to itself the authority to maintain peace in the regions of Mwanza, ShinYanga and Tabora. In this period of intense social and economica crisis, when new forms of accumulation were developing in the rural areas, the activities of the plundering of the natural resources had reached such a stage that the established organs of law and order were integrated in a contradictory manner into the structures of the export of capital. Ivory, gold, diamonds, cattle and hides and skins were being taken from these regions when the return for labour was such that the poor were eking out a bare subsistence. In the face of the armed seizure of cattle, brigandry and death from the primitive form of gold mining in Kahama and Geita, the poor developed their own measures to fight the accumulators. The- Sungu Sungu or Ruga Ruga as they are called in some parts, inreverting to the mode of dress, weapons and medicinal practices of the pre-coloni .d villaae }lad developed a method of self -organisation and self mobili- sation which by-passed the courts, the police aDd the party structures of governance in the rural villaaes of the above three regions.

  • Mass Murder in the 21St Century
    Mass Murder in the 21st Century: From Assumptions to Truths Meredith L. Ille 3 Acknowledgements For my dear Mother, Mary Lou Ille, my best friend and staunchest supporter. There are not enough words to express my gratitude and love. For my thesis committee members: Chairperson Dr. Shawna Cleary, for inspiring this thesis and seeing it through to the end; Dr. Elizabeth Maier, for taking the time and having such patience; And Dr. Burle Steelman, for his willingness to help and going above and beyond the call of duty. 4 Table of Contents Abstract 5 Introduction 6 Literature Review 9 Hypotheses 39 Methods 40 Results 43 Discussion 50 Conclusions 57 References 59 5 Abstract Mass murder is the killing of four or more people in one incident. There is a national lack of awareness of the most predominant type of mass murder. This thesis hypothesized that the majority of mass murders in the United States are mass murder familicides. It is further hypothesized that most mass murder familicides are committed by Caucasian men in their 30s and 40s. Data from two sources were used: the USA Today Behind the Bloodshed database, and the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR) for the years 2006- 2016. It was also necessary to use supplemental data from media accounts where data was missing or in doubt. Mass murder familicides were tallied from both databases. They were then categorized to determine if mass murder familicide was the most common form of mass murder, testing hypothesis one. Ages and race of offenders were then tallied to determine support for hypothesis two, that most offenders were Caucasian and in their 30s and 40s.

  • The Collapse of a Pastoral Economy
    his research unravels the economic collapse of the Datoga pastoralists of central and 15 Göttingen Series in Tnorthern Tanzania from the 1830s to the beginning of the 21st century. The research builds Social and Cultural Anthropology from the broader literature on continental African pastoralism during the past two centuries. Overall, the literature suggests that African pastoralism is collapsing due to changing political and environmental factors. My dissertation aims to provide a case study adding to the general Samwel Shanga Mhajida trends of African pastoralism, while emphasizing the topic of competition as not only physical, but as something that is ethnically negotiated through historical and collective memories. There are two main questions that have guided this project: 1) How is ethnic space defined by The Collapse of a Pastoral Economy the Datoga and their neighbours across different historical times? And 2) what are the origins of the conflicts and violence and how have they been narrated by the state throughout history? The Datoga of Central and Northern Tanzania Examining archival sources and oral interviews it is clear that the Datoga have struggled from the 1830s to the 2000s through a competitive history of claims on territory against other neighbouring communities. The competitive encounters began with the Maasai entering the Serengeti in the 19th century, and intensified with the introduction of colonialism in Mbulu and Singida in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The fight for control of land and resources resulted in violent clashes with other groups. Often the Datoga were painted as murderers and impediments to development. Policies like the amalgamation measures of the British colonial administration in Mbulu or Ujamaa in post-colonial Tanzania aimed at confronting the “Datoga problem,” but were inadequate in neither addressing the Datoga issues of identity, nor providing a solution to their quest for land ownership and control.

  • 2017 Idaho Intimate Partner Related Fatalities
    Idaho Intimate Partner Violence Related Homicides 2001 – 2017 (as of August 29, 2017) The fatalities reported in this document have been determined to be intimate partner violence related fatalities based on indicators of risk reported in news accounts. Not all fatalities will be reported by public reports as DV/IPV related, especially in cases of homicide/suicide where there was no prosecution or extended investigation. 2017 1. Victims: Annita Harmon, 40 David Bates, 38 Offender: Anthony Montwheeler, 49 Location: Weiser County: Washington Date: 1/9/2017 Relationship to Victim: Ex Husband Risk Factors: At least 4 of 7 • Prior Police Contact • History of Domestic Violence • Separation • Threats to kill Victim Annita Harmon, was abducted and stabbed to death by her partner Anthony Montwheeler. During a high speed chase, Anthony Montwheeler then drove into an oncoming vehicle, killing the other driver, David Bates, and seriously injuring his partner, Jessica Bates. At the beginning of their relationship, Annita’s family members were suspicious of the state and health of their marriage. Annita was reportedly uncharacteristically distant, and would not share details of Anthony’s past. Other Family members reported that they were afraid and concerned about “[getting] a call from Idaho that Tony went to the house and killed everybody.” In a previous relationship Anthony Montwheler had reportedly kidnapped his 3 year old child and his first partner. He had made the threat to kill himself and the child during the negotiations of kidnapping. http://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/crime/article131399214.html

  • Fatality Review Project 2016 | 13Th Annual Report
    GEORGIA DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FATALITY REVIEW PROJECT 2016 | 13TH ANNUAL REPORT GEORGIA COMMISSION ON FAMILY VIOLENCE | GEORGIA COALITION AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WE DEDICATE THIS REPORT to victims, their children, and family members who lost their lives as a result of domestic violence; to their surviving children, family members, and friends who must go on without them; and to victims who struggle to stay alive every day. Regarding Gender Language in this Report According to the Bureau of Justice, women account for 85% of victims of intimate partner violence and men account for the remaining 15% (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2015). The majority of domestic violence homicides in Georgia tracked by the Project involve men killing women in heterosexual relationships. Language we use in this report reflects these realities. However, it should not be construed to suggest all victims are women and all perpetrators are men. We acknowledge men are abused in intimate partner relationships and are sometimes killed. About Our Theme Images of sound waves appear within these pages as a visual representation of amplification. These sound waves represent connectivity between domestic violence and suicide. As sound waves grow, their impact grows. As our awareness of the interconnectivity of these issues increases, our own impact can be amplified. Sound waves also represent the invisible connections we all have to these topics, as many of us have either experienced domestic violence and suicide personally, or know someone who has been affected. Sound waves also represent our ability to break silences imposed by the stigmas surrounding these issues and enhance our efforts to address and prevent tragedies within our communities.
