This year I went to Kenya instead, but even this was enough to provoke the servants of those "investors", that are worse than ever, even arresting a lawyer..Susannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122582965111940302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393463874272421687.post-24335926292534104752016-08-08T06:42:11.200+02:002016-08-08T06:42:11.200+02:00Wow this is an absolutely amazing thing to read, a...Wow this is an absolutely amazing thing to read, and I definitely don't mean that in a good way! That "neocolonialism" comment is ridiculous! I've always wanted to visit Tanzania, but this entire story makes me definitely want to reconsider this. I certainly hope everything works out for you Susanna! Thank you for sharing this, by the way.<br /><br /><a href="https://plus.google.com/109220604973237432156/about?gmbpt=true&hl=en&_ga=1.2603568.1894068356.1458183670" rel="nofollow">Eliseo Weinstein @ JR's Bail Bonds</a>Eliseo Weinsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407697057363434395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393463874272421687.post-82412958603171316782015-07-21T20:09:05.409+02:002015-07-21T20:09:05.409+02:00Thank you, Michael.Thank you, Michael.Susannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122582965111940302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393463874272421687.post-42414452267042094302015-07-19T21:33:34.841+02:002015-07-19T21:33:34.841+02:00You maintain a brave campaign.

Manyerere Jackton often writes his articles about Loliondo without having his name published – and worse than that: once an article of his was published under the fake Maasai-sounding name “Adam ole Timan’.<br /><br />Mr Jackton did email me saying he had read this blog post and explaining that he was “after his country”, that Tanzania is for Tanzanians and being mzungu isn’t a certificate to do what I want for his country and asked me to stop “neocolonialism”. He did not quite explain the patriotism of inciting against the Tanzanians of Loliondo in so many articles, calling them “Kenyans” for the obvious benefit of foreign “investors”. Instead he started sending me photos taken be the driver – a guy called Mangusha - who took me to Kirtalo and saying that it was his duty to expose my “illegal business in Loliondo” and that every step had been monitored. Then I wonder why he had incorrect information about whom I met in Kirtalo... And he did not explain how meeting people that fight for their land is “illegal”. The credibility of the Jamhuri is indeed below zero. <br />Mr Jackton did not reply to the questions that I sent him in April this year that were:<br />“Dear Mr Jackton,<br /><br />I have with increasing worry been reading your articles about Loliondo. Where does your immense interest for Loliondo, nationality and NGOs come from? Why aren't you writing about other areas with a border to Kenya? The border was an agreement between Germany and Great Britain, by the way. How can you write something as bizarre as that 70% of people in Loliondo would not be Tanzanian? Do you really believe this? Do you really know of any NGO person in Loliondo who isn't a Tanzanian citizen?<br /> <br />What’s your relation to OBC? Are you aware that this company participated in brutal, extrajudicial evictions in 2009, and that the evictions were for the benefit of OBC? A 7-year old girl was lost and has still not been found. Are you aware that OBC totally funded a crazy draft land use plan that would have led to the destruction of thousands of lives and livelihoods if not stopped?<br /><br /> Why are you doing this? Aren't you ashamed? Why don't you just apologize and stop inciting against the Maasai of Loliondo?<br /> With grave concerns,<br />Susanna Nordlund”Susannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122582965111940302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-393463874272421687.post-3953233042081469072015-07-10T06:32:06.313+02:002015-07-10T06:32:06.313+02:00That Jamhurimedia is so FULL OF SHIT!!

What kind of media outlet does not publish the name of the reporter, and what kind of online newspaper does not even allow for comments from the readers? I know... a fake one! Full of biased stories.<br /><br />Var starkare Susanna, du är redan väldigt stark.<br /><br />Amani iwe nawe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
