“To Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, leadership was about service, not selfishness. He left no Swiss bank account, no hidden property, but a legacy of servant leadership and books for us to read.”- Prof. Sabatho Nyamsenda

I woke up today to the sad news of Gamal Nkrumah’s passing, the son of the African revolutionary and Pan-Africanist Kwame Nkrumah, and found myself recalling the details of our last meeting in Cairo. Despite his illness, he continued to follow with keen interest the troubling developments unfolding across our African continent, deeply saddened by the state of its countries and peoples. Yet what stayed with me most was not sorrow alone, but also the hope he held on to during our conversation and his conviction that a new generation could reclaim the project of African unity and liberation. He believed that the flame of Pan-Africanism, carried forward by Nkrumah, Lumumba, Sankara, Nasser, Cabral, and other pioneers of the African struggle for unity and liberation, would never be extinguished. He never lost faith in younger generations’ ability to carry the struggle forward, not by simply reproducing the experiences of the past, but by learning from them, recognizing their mistakes, and overcoming their failures. His vision was of a united and independent Africa, free from domination and exploitation, capable of exercising its sovereignty, controlling its wealth, and shaping the future of its peoples.
Rest in power Gamal Nkrumah 🇬🇭✊🏿

Delivering the Keynote, Professor Sabatho Nyamsenda started on a lighter note saying he notices “Nyerere is being Ugandanised” and later presented a critique of the current state of Pan-Africanism, arguing that it has been co-opted by ruling elites.
He highlighted 1960-1980 as the period when the challenges for Pan-Africanism began.
He explained that it was around this time that Pan-Africanism was snatched away from the masses and became a state project.
Currently, the ideology exists in two forms: Boardroom and Street Pan-Africanism.
Professor Nyamsenda joined Mwalimu and urged the youth to consider leading the struggle for a better Africa.

"....Mamdani's message is clear and uncomfortable. Ending violence without restoring legitimacy does not bring peace - it only delays the next crisis. Real peace requires rebuilding the relationship between state and society, not just managing conflict." ~ Abdul Mohamed

The logic of repression continues. If you use violence to silence 1 person whose ideas/words they don't like, at least 10 people will be affected and angered. So now you have to deal with 10 people and if you use violence against them, then you will have to deal with 100 people

Hakuna Nchi inayoendelea kwa kuleta wajenzi wa nje kuja kuwajengea ! Pesa ni za kwetu ila tunaamua kuzigawa kwa wengine
CCM inao watu wengi tu wenye busara za kiuongozi na uwezo wa kitaaluma wa kung’amua hekimi za Mzee Warioba katika kuondoa mkwamo wa kisiasa uliopo nchini. Badala yake kimeamua kuweka pamba masikioni na kumwachia mzee wa “mpox,” ambaye haelewi kama nchi ipo katika mkwamo!
Katibu wa Halmashauri Kuu (NEC), Itikadi, Uenezi na Mafunzo wa CCM, Amos Makalla amesema wamepokea ushauri wa Waziri Mkuu Mstaafu Jaji Joseph Warioba alioutoa juu ya kumaliza mgogoro wa kisiasa, ila kwa sasa chama chake hakina mgogoro wowote na CHADEMA.
Kauli ya Makalla inakuja siku chache baada ya Jaji Warioba kutoa wito wa kuwepo kwa mwafaka wa kisiasa wa kitaifa kwa CCM, CHADEMA na Serikali kufanya mazungumzo kuelekea kwenye uchaguzi mkuu.
Makalla ambaye yupo kwenye ziara ya kichama mkoani Morogoro amesisitiza kwa sasa wanapendekeza Jaji Warioba akasuluhishe kwanza mgogoro wa ndani wa CHADEMA unaotajwa kuwepo tangu kumalizika kwa uchaguzi wa ndani wa chama hiko.

"At first, when my loyal ADC told me about the quest of the white pawns on the board to throw me overboard, giving him $5M as an advance pay. He brought out the money and suggested we burn it since it was an evil money. I said this is the return of part of Africa's looted money. Take it outside and share it with people in the streets" ~ Ibrahim Traore

"They offered me $5 million to shoot Ibrahim Traoré from behind specifically when he bends to pray to Allah. They promised my family and me citizenship in their country. They called it 'an offer I couldn’t refuse.' To them, money matters more than humanity.
But I asked myself. Is $5 million worth carrying a guilty conscience to my grave? Will that money make me a king in a foreign land, or a fool mocked by their sons and daughters? I’d rather live as a lion in the wild than as a dog in their city."
~ Ibrahim Traoré 's guard
