Hii ndio the biggest and most consequential endorsement Lissu has received to date. Godbless E.J. Lema Kati ya wanasiasa ninaowaheshimu Tz wewe ni mmoja wao na ndo ndio maana nilikuwa nakutag mno kwenye posti zangu maana nilikuwa sielewi ukimya wako. Nilikuwa najiuliza hivi kweli inawezekana Lema akawa anasapoti Mbowe kuwa dikteta huku yeye (Lema) kutwa anawapigia kelele CCM juu ya udikteta? Hivi kweli Lema anaedai mabadiliko ndani ya nchi hataki mabadiliko ndani ya Chadema? Kweli Lema anaedai katiba mpya ambayo ndani inataka uongozi wenye kikomo leo anasapoti uongozi usio na kikomo? Haki nilikuwa najiuliza sana. Leo umetupa Watanzania majibu tuliyoyatarajia, kweli wewe ni mtu unaeitakia mema Tanzania, kweli Watanzania hatukukosea kukuamini siku zote. You deserve our respect. Huu uchaguzi wa uenyekiti Chadema ni about doing the right thing for the country na watu kama Godbless E.J. Lema have decided to do the right thing. Naamini hakuna kitu kigumu Lema kawahi kufanya kwenywe career yake ya siasa kama kitu alichofanya leo but he did for the love of country and party!!!

🚨 WTF?! The United Kingdom border authorities just BLOCKED a failed asylum seeker from *self-deporting* Keir Starmer is a joke! "Britain's asylum system has officially entered CLOWN WORLD!" "The guy literally filmed himself at Heathrow Airport saying he was ready to go back home, but border officials and airline staff still stopped him from getting on a plane!" "A failed asylum seeker who tried to claim asylum from America, so he came from America to the UK, has been prevented from self-deporting back to the United States for a second time."

Foreign Interference: Tanzania Blocks European Parliamentary Team From Visiting Country In November 2022, China revamped its fabled Belt and Road Initiative – a win-win development initiative aimed at the Global South – in Tanzania. In December 2022, Tanzania signed a historic $2.2 billion railway deal with China to link the East African country’s port city, Dar es Salaam, to its neighbors, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda, as well as the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Many other deals would follow, each with the potential to transform Tanzania and the wider continent, economically and politically, for the better. But there was one problem. An African nation was suddenly fast-tracking its development, without the blessing of the West. And so the West did what it did best. It funded an “opposition” movement in Tanzania, and deployed its media parrots to promote the members of this “opposition” as “defenders of human rights and democracy” fighting against a “repressive” government, and sensationalize this government’s necessary actions to thwart the attempted color revolution that would follow. And even after this failed regime change plot, the West continues to do everything in its power to destroy Tanzania.

Billionaire Konstantin Strukov was stopped by authorities in the Russian city of Chelyabinsk while trying to fly to Turkey on his private jet, even though a court had banned him from leaving the country. Strukov — who leads the mining company Yuzhuralzoloto and serves as a local lawmaker — was about to take off in his Bombardier business jet when officials blocked the flight. They also took away his international passport, which had already been canceled. A Russian court had earlier forbidden Strukov and his family from leaving Russia after the Prosecutor General’s Office filed a lawsuit to seize his assets. Prosecutors claim Strukov illegally took control of several gold and coal mining companies, including Yuzhuralzoloto, by putting them under the names of relatives and fake owners. Strukov has said he wasn’t trying to run from the Russian authorities.

Tanzania Hits Power Generation Milestone, Nears 100% Access Tanzania is reportedly close to providing 100% electricity access for its over 70.5 million citizens, having increased its power generation capacity to 4,383 megawatts in 2026 – up from 1,602 megawatts in 2020. The East African country, which has been led by the nationalist Chama cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party since its independence in 1961, has taken bold steps in recent years to boost its economy. Yet it has also recently come under fire from Western and Western-aligned media, following the vi0lent, anti-government protests that rocked the country in October 2025. The protests, staged in response to the landslide victory of Tanzania President Samia Suluhu Hassan, were led by the country’s main opposition party, Chadema – a party with documented links to the Western neoliberal political establishment – and the Tanzanian government’s necessary actions to restore order were framed by all the usual suspects as grave violations of human rights. Yet it is telling to note how closely these protests and their framing by Western media coincide with Tanzania’s strengthening relations with China. In 2022, China revamped its Belt and Road initiative – a win-win international development drive tailored for the Global South – in Tanzania, signing 15 deals with the country, including a $2.2 billion railway deal. In 2024, Tanzania signed a deal with China’s Electronics Communication Industry Service (CECIS) to boost its digital technology sector. China remains Tanzania’s largest trading partner, with total investments valued at roughly US $11.4 billion as of February 2024.

🚨 SUPREME COURT HANDS TRUMP A HUGE WIN ON DEPORTATIONS! SCOTUS just cleared the way for the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for ~350,000 Haitians. A federal judge had blocked it, calling it “cruel” and even smearing officials as racist. But the Court said enough — deportations can move forward. Reminder from the border chaos in Del Rio 2021: Thousands showed up under the bridge. Many weren’t even coming straight from Haiti, they were living in Chile, Peru, Brazil, discarding passports and IDs to game the system. No more abusing protections. America’s laws matter. Trump is restoring order at the border one win at a time!

How Sen Sen. Ledama Olekina's Amendments to the Conflict of Interest Bill, 2023 potentially cripple the Fight Against Corruption in Kenya 1. Allowing top state officials including Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, Senators, MPs, Governors and other top officials together with their spouses, children and siblings to trade with Government, including the institutions headed by the officials, without any sanctions. 2. Deleted a provision that could have required suspension of any state official facing corruption investigations until they are cleared. 3. Removed EACC from enforcement of the proposed conflict of interest law and vested the responsibility on public entities and accounting officers to investigate themselves for violations. 4. Shielding public officials from a requirement for EACC to scrutinize their wealth declarations to detect and recover stolen public property 5. Deletion of all the punitive sanctions proposed for violations leaving compliance with the law to be driven by the individual public officials’ patriotism and goodwill. 6. Shielding public officials from accountability for mismanagement of public resources. Due to the magnitude of the deletions and amendments by the Senate, the current version of the Bill, now back to the National Assembly, no longer represents the progressive initial Bill which could have significantly addressed current obstacles to effectiveness in the fight against corruption at the national and county levels.
