45 ruux oo u geeriyootay isbuurasho ka dhalatay macsalaameynta meydka madaxweynihii Tanzania

Saraakiisha Booliiska dalka Tanzanian ayaa shaaca ka qaaday in 45 ruux ay u dhinteen isbuurasho ka dhalatay macsalaameynta meydka madaxweynihii hore ee dalkaasi John Magufuli 21 bishan.

Baliiska ayaa sheegay in dhimashadani ay timid kaddib markii kumanaan muwaadiniin murugeysan ay isku dayeen in ay xoog ku galaan gudaha garoonka la dhigay meydka madaxweynaha oo geeriyooday 17kii bishan aynu ku jirno ee Maarso.

"Waxaa jiray dad badan oo doonayay in ay garoonka soo galaan, qaar badan uma aysan suurtagalin, waxaa ay isku dayeen in ay xoog ku soo galaan garoonka taasna waxaa ka dhashay is jiid jiid. 45 qof ayaa dhimatay," ayuu yiri taliyaha Booliiska dalkaasi Tanzanian Lazaro Mambosasa.

Shan ka mid ah dadka dhintay ayaa ka soo wada jeeday hal qoys,  sida  uu sheegay taliyaha Booliiska oo la hadlay wakaalada wararka ee AFP.

Tobanaan kun ayaa u soo baxay si ay u xurmeeyaan, iyagoo safaf dhaadheer ku jira, ooyaya isla markaana la ordaya sanduuqa iyada oo mootooyin ciidan ay ku dhex wareegayaan magaalooyinka.

Is-buurashadan ayaa ka dhacday maalintii labaad ee sharfidda meydka Garoonka Uhuru Stadium ee Dar es Salaam, markii dadweynaha loo oggolaaday in ay soo dhaweeyaan.

Arrintan ayaa noqon karta dhacdo dhif iyo naadir ah marka ay timaado sagootinta meydka, waxaana ay muujineysaa sida dadka reer Tanzanian ay u jeclaayeen madaxweynahooda geeriyooday.

Magafuli was a docorand in chemistry  and fully understood the virus. He knew that that white europeans who stockpiled wheat for lockdowns could afford long lockdownds. Instead imitatating gaalada cadaanka he simply had to choose between cholea and plague. Lockdown and starvation or  a free society with economical growth.  He was wise to choose the later.  Tanzania has worse problems, malaria, cholera etc more deadly diseases.

I am not defending his decision but I remember going to work that the swedish public service radio were mocking him for saying "god will protect us".  They did not comment on the economical reasons for defying lock downs in Tanzania. But when Bolsanaro, gaalka cadaanka the white man refused lock downs and said "god will protect us" nobodt mentioned the god thing and the white analysts concentrated that bolsenaro the Brazilian racist president choose  economy rather then lock downs and saving lives.

This media narrativ shows we still in a cold post colonial order where the black man is demonised to his death while white man is magnified.    According to the UNDP Tanzania was suffering from drought and huge locust problems, how will you feed your ppl if you lock your people indoor?

Even the old empress of Germany Merkel was criticized for her lock downs when the scientific community said that they infarct had no effect, she wanted a absolute lock down during Easter

AND  with his decisions , paid ultimate, his LIFE.

It is not always as black and white,  small steps could possibly have protected many, including his life.

Whose narrative do we, Africans, go with. That of the TNZ govt or the whites? Heart problems or Covid?  God knows. 

He seemed an individual who wanted to affect positive change in his country if, as some said, he was caught between a rock and a hard place, and decided on the course he did, fair play to him. 

It's always of paramount importance that one does what he/she believes to be right within reason.
