Coming Soon: Daraja Juu ya Mto Nile (English Edition)

The book titled: DARAJA JUU YA MTO NILE authored by Mark Mwandosya, was published in 2015. The publication of the book in kiswahili was aimed at, among other reasons, the promotion of the use of kiswahili, a national language of Tanzania, and Kenya, and a language widely spoken in Eastern Africa and beginning to spread across Africa and other continents.

Yet english, as a language is more widely spoken and indeed the "kiswahili of the world". Calls have been made for the book to be translated into english, and the author has obliged. For the subject of transboundary watercourses is as topical as it is current. The River Nile is no exception.

The book: BRIDGE ACROSS THE RIVER NILE is with the printers and should be out in a few weeks.

Grüße aus Matema Beach, Nyasa See, Tansania

Grüße aus Matema Beach, Nyasa See, Tansania Von Mark Mwandosya. 26. Oktober 2017 (Übersetzt von Heinke Schimanowski-Thomsen) Vorwort Im August 2017 hatte ich Gelegenheit zur Republik der Komoren Inseln zu reisen. Die Komoren bestehen aus 4 Inseln: Grande Comore (Ngazija), Anjouan (Nzuwani), Mohéli (Mwali) und Mayotte (Mahoré). Die Insel Mayotte steht weiterhin unter französischer Verwaltung solange bis die Einwohner entscheiden, sich mit den anderen Inseln zu vereinigen. Die Komoren beanspruchen die Insel Mayotte als zu ihrer Einheit zugehörig. Ich und meine Familie besuchten 2 Inseln von diesen 4, Ngazija und Nzuwani. Als ich auf den Komoren war verfasste ich einen Brief, den ich „Grüße von den Komoren“ nannte und im Netz veröffentlichte. Viele Leute hatten Gelegenheit diesen Brief zu lesen. Einige von denen, zusammen mit Glückwünschen, rieten mir, so einen Brief über Tansania zu schreiben. Das war für mich eine Herausforderung. So einen Brief zu sc...

A Letter to Comrade Martin Thembisile (Chris) Hani

A Letter to Comrade Martin Thembisile (Chris) Hani April 10, 2018 Comrade Chris, To an ordinary mortal it would seem odd that I should communicate with you, us being worlds apart. To a Christian, such as I am, and to you, born a Catholic, being a committed member of the South African Communist Party (SACP), notwithstanding, the belief in and notion of life in the world after comes naturally. Furthermore, very African as both of us are, we firmly believe in the presence in our midst, of the souls of the departed, residing in, among other places, the hills and mountains, the valleys, the pristine forests and woods, and in our homes, among other beauties mother nature has endowed mother Africa. I therefore have no hesitation whatsoever in undertaking this mission of communicating with you Comrade Hani, coming as it does, on the 25 th anniversary of your departure. The chilly southern hemispherical autumn Easter Saturday of 10 th of April, 1993, was the longest day in the ...

A Letter From Fort Portal, Kabarole, Tooro, Uganda

A Letter From Fort Portal, Kabarole, Tooro, Uganda Introduction For a Tanzanian, or a Kenyan for that matter, being in Uganda is like bearing witness to time rolling back to the time we were taught the geography of East Africa in school many a decade ago. The economic links among the three East African countries, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda are now a century old. For the links started in 1917 when the colonial regimes of Kenya and Uganda established a customs union, to be joined by Tanganyika in 1927. The Customs Union made way for the East African High Commission in 1948. With the advent of the independence of Tanganyika, it was agreed that common services which until then had been provided by the East African High Commission, should continue to be provided by the East African Common Services Organization (EACSO). The three independent states; Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda decided to refine the nature of cooperation by forming the East African Community (EAC) in 1967. In a move a...
