The legislative session, Prahlad Singh, said he would go with the Congress. Six independent had already pledged their support to the training of the next government. State Congress president Phool Chand Mullane, who lost his election, took the letter from the Party as well as letters of support from the six independent legislators Jagannath Pahadi governor. Leaving the Raj Bhavan, Mullane said, “We have delivered the letters of the seven independent MLAs to the Governor.” There are also reports that Congress has also reached an understanding with the MLAs two BSP tactics. Congress bags 40 seats in the survey of the state Assembly, well below expectations of trust, up to halfway of the 90-member assembly. Now, with the support of seven MLAs and MLAs of the BSP, the party now claims to have a wafer thin majority in the Assembly. However, the Congress high command seems uncomfortable with the idea of dispensing this kind and that’s why the party managers are negotiating with the Haryana Janhit Congress (HJC) leader Kuldeep Bishnoi – which has seven MLAs – and his father Bhajan Lal, a former Congress Chief Minister of the State. But Bishnoi keeps his cards close to his chest, told reporters in New Delhi today, said, “Talks are on. We’re getting calls from Congress and INLD. The situation will only be known by late today, but one thing is clear that our party will form part of the next government. ” When asked about his opposition to CM Hooda as the next, he said, “My party only goal is to work for development. We are not worried about anyone who takes the chair of the CM”. Curiously, the State Congress chief Mullane, after meeting with Governor said he has not yet had conversations with Bishnoi. Here in New Delhi, the party president Sonia Gandhi launched the consultation process for the formation of government in Haryana and Maharashtra. Sonia met Ahmed Patel and Prithviraj Chauhan (In charge of Haryana) at his residence this morning to chart the way forward. The importance of meeting the gains that have been rumors about a need for change in leadership in both states, particularly in Haryana, due to an average return of the party. Obviously, Bhupinder Singh Hooda feels pressured to resign, but his holding from now onwards. Infact was in Delhi yesterday and held consultations with the High Command, but the top brass has not yet clarified whether Hooda will be the party’s election for prime minister. |

Suicide Attack Near Nuke-Linked Complex In Pakistan, 7 Killed
Security forces inspect the site of a suicide bombing at the entrance of the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex in Kamra. (Reuters) The attack took place near the aeronautical complex at Kamra expansion, about 30 miles (50 km) from the capital, Islamabad, and is sure to raise renewed concerns about the safety of Pakistan’s nuclear program. Kamra The site is often mentioned by foreign military experts and researchers as a likely place to keep planes that can carry nuclear warheads. The army, which does not reveal where they are stored nuclear weapons, has denied that the facility is linked to the program. The bomber was apparently on a bicycle and detonated his explosives at a checkpoint on a road leading to the complex, police officer Akbar Abbas said, blaming the Taliban. The seven dead included two security forces, while 13 people were injured. “The attacker wanted to go. He blew himself up when officials wanted to search his body,” said Police Chief Attock Fakhar Sultan Raja said. The attack is the latest in a wave of radical violence as Pakistan army carries out its offensive against Islamic militants in northwestern tribal region of South Waziristan. More than 170 people have died in attacks and raids on Western security-related objectives in the past three weeks. One of the attacks of 22-including a confrontation hours at the headquarters of the army, a shameful violation of security that also raised concerns about their ability to protect the country’s nuclear weapons. The complex in Kamra or their workers have been monitored at least once before. In December 2007, a car bomb exploded near a bus carrying the children of employees of the Pakistan Air Force, wounding five of them. Pakistan has always insisted its nuclear program is safe, and has tried to protect it from militant attacks by storing warheads, detonators and missiles in separate facilities patrolled by elite troops. U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton recently expressed his confidence in nuclear security in Pakistan, but analysts are divided over how to ensure that weapons are. Some say that guns are less safe than they were five years ago. Security plans aside, much depends on the Pakistani army and how vulnerable to infiltration by militants, according to some observers. A possible scenario that could jeopardize the program militant supporters would find work as scientists at the premises and passing information to the extremist. Pakistan is estimated that between 70 and 90 nuclear warheads, according to Hans Kristensen, director of the Nuclear Information Project of the Federation of American Scientists. Shaun Gregory, a Pakistani security expert at the University of Bradford in Britain, said in a recent interview that the militants have hit near an air base in Sargodha, where nuclear missiles are believed to be stored, and the Wah cantonment , where the missiles could carry nuclear weapons are believed to be assembled. He said the attacks appear to have been aimed at nuclear weapons, but said there was no evidence of threats to the program. Pakistan hopes its week-old military offensive in South Waziristan will go a long way toward eliminating the threat of militants on its soil, but residents fleeing the region, reported this week that the insurgents are digging in a fight. Refugees arriving tired and dusty Thursday in the northwestern city of Dera Ismail Khan, from different parts of South Waziristan, reported heavy shelling by army planes and helicopters, but said they had seen no ground troops. The militants were believed to control about 1275 miles square (3,300 square kilometers) of territory before the offensive began. The part covering about half of South Waziristan. The army says its troops are advancing steadily and to regain ground in three fronts. But officials have made clear that the campaign will be long and bloody. The United Nations says 110,000 people have fled to South Waziristan in recent months increased speculation of an army offensive, about 30,000 of them in recent days. Many are staying with relatives or in rented houses in Dera Ismail Khan and nearby suburbs. The new arrivals said the Taliban were preparing for a fight. “We saw no ground forces on the road, nothing but helicopters and planes. However, we have seen a lot of Taliban movement,” said Jan Awal, a refugee from the town of Sarwakai. “They were hanging around in their cars and digging trenches in the mountains.” The military has previously moved in South Waziristan three times since 2004. Every time I have suffered many casualties and signed peace agreements that left the rebels with the effective control of the region. Western officials say al Qaeda is now using and neighboring North Waziristan as a base of operations and training. |

New Delhi: Indian Defense Minister AK Antony said here on Monday that India was ready to face any challenge from the Taliban. “The situation in Pakistan is very serious and terrorism is spreading,” said Antonio, responding to questions from reporters about Pakistan’s action against the Taliban.
He said if there was a specific threat to India, New Delhi, but promised he was ready to face any challenge to the territorial integrity and national security of nowhere. “We will protect our territory and at the same time we will continue our efforts to expand relations with all our neighbors,” he said when asked whether India is prepared to deal with what the questioner called “the threat of China “.
Moreover, Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor said Indian forces a response commensurate to the threat of the Taliban. “We have no doubt that our security forces will respond according to the Taliban every time they try to carry out destructive activities in our country,”
Kapoor was responding to questions from the media after inaugurating a military hospital here. When asked if there was a possibility of spilling over the Taliban in India, said, “whenever there is turbulence in any region, there is always a ripple effect in the neighboring country. That’s something we should all avoid.”
Huwezi kusimama kando ya hiyo katuni, na kumeza tu ujumbe wake! Nafikiri katuni ni lazima i-“reflect” ujumbe hasa (the medium is the message)! Ni lazima kukosoa kikatuni!Kuna nyumba inajengwa na huku kuta zinabomoka. Kuna mjenzi anaweka paa (JK) kwenye nyumba yenye kuta zilizobomoka. Kuna watu wawili wanaiba matofali: Mmoja ni "Ufisadi". Wa pili ni "Umasikini". Ujenzi sasa miaka 46.Na huyo mtu aliyesimama kando ya nyumba hiyo akisema, “Na huyu pia atasitaafu bila kumaliza ujenzi!”Ndio. Kuna ujumbe wa maana, kama ulivyoshauri, “Lengo la katuni hii, nafikiri ni kutupa wazo la kuhusiana na uhuru wetu, kwamba tumejenga nini na tumehitimisha nini????.Je, katuni hiyo ni “relevant and reliable instrument” ya “kutupa wazo la … tumejenga nini na tumehitimisha nini” tangu uhuru wetu miaka 48 iliyopita? Hapana. Katuni ni "incongruous"!Kuna mengi tuliyo-“jenga” na ku-“hitimisha” kutokana na uhuru wetu wa miaka 48 kuliko hayo machache ambayo huyo “katunisti” amechora na kuyaandika.Bila shaka JK atasitaafu “bila kumaliza ujenzi”! Ndio maana yangu ya kusema kuwa “ujenzi wa taifa ni “a long-term process.”Nitaongozea kwa kusema kuwa“procees” hiyo ni “exponential” na ina-“transcend the office-duration of any incumbent President” wetu na pia uhai wake.Hatuna budi kupambana na ufisadi na umasikini wetu, kama hiyo katuni inavyojaribu kuzungumza, ingawa matatizo ya kutomalizika kwa ujenzi huo ni mengi!Lakini kupambana na hayo mawili yaliyotajwa si “panacea” ya kujikwamua kutokana na hayo yaliyotufunga jelani.Kila mara huwa najiuliuza, “Je, kweli tutauzika umasikini? Ningependa kusikia kutoka kwa wanakijiji!Kuna nchi ambazo zimejengeka kwa karne, na karne, na karne zilizopita! Nyingine toka enzi za ma-Visigoth na ma-Viking; toka enzi za William the Conqueror, toka enzi za George Washington, toka enzi za Bonaparte, na kadhalika. Lakini mpaka leo hii ufisadi na umasikini bado vimejikita katika baadhi ya nchi hizo. Sembuse miaka karibu 50!Najua leo hii Tanzania ina bahati kubwa ya kuweza kuruka karne nyingi za majaribio. Viongozi wetu budi waamuke ili miguu yetu iende pamoja!Mguu wetu mmoja umo katika mazingira ya nchi zilizoendelea – walalaheri wenye maisha “tambarare”; mguu mwingine umejikita katika matope ya mazingira ya maisha ya enzi za wawindaji na wachuma mwituni (foragers) – walalahoi zaidi!

As the country marks the 10th death anniversary of Father of the Nation Julius Kambarage Nyerere, the spotlight is on what the Kikwete administration is doing to keep his political legacy alive, amid mounting challenges. In assessing President Jakaya Kikwete's performance in his first five-year tenure, which ends with the elections expected in October next year, political analysts and critics have been zeroing in on the fight against corruption, which has emerged as the most daunting task. The other two notable areas are maintaining leadership ethics and fighting poverty. Inevitably, his leadership is being judged against that of his predecessor, Mr Benjamin Mkapa, from whose tenure he inherited some of the mega corruption scandals that have tainted the image of the highly respected country that Mwalimu Nyerere led from Independence in 1961, until he retired in 1984. But in comments, which appeared to stridently defend his leadership against recent criticism, President Kikwete said on Monday in Musoma, Mwalimu Nyerere's home region, that his government should, in fact, be lauded for its relentless war against grand corruption (See also separate story). Addressing members of the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), the President said they should walk around with pride and tell the people the truth. He said that of the four administrations since Independence, his government had done the best in fighting corruption. "If you are asked during the coming civic election campaigns, don't hesitate to tell them that what has happened in the last four years, as far as war against corruption is concerned, has never happened before," he said. But commenting on Mwalimu Nyerere's leadership, a respected former Prime Minister, Dr Salim Ahmed Salim, said that one of the key areas that had suffered a major setback in recent years was the grooming of credible future leaders. Dr Salim, a career diplomat, who served for some time as the secretary general of the African Union and its predecessor, the Organisation of African Unity, said Mwalimu Nyerere had meticulously moulded the entire current leadership, including President Kikwete, to play key roles in the nation. A respected scholar, Prof Issa Shivji, who is a retired law lecturer at the University of Dar es Salaam and founding head of the Nyerere Research Chair on Pan�African Studies, said though Mwalimu Nyerere was not an angel, he was a great leader. He cited integrity, as one of the strongest personal qualities of the founding President, which was inspirational. He added: "There are his political practices; some of which need to be assessed and others cannot stand up to criticism." The executive director of Tanzania Media Women's Association (Tamwa), Ms Ananilea Nkya, told The Citizen by telephone yesterday that declining commitment to upholding leadership ethics was an issue the Kikwete administration must treat, as an emergency to regain public confidence. "Nowadays people run for leadership positions as opportunity to amass wealth. That is why, for instance, many of the top current leaders are businessmen,"she said. She also said that during Mwalimu Nyerere's time, and to some extent, President Mkapa's era, there was a clear indication that their administrations cherished leadership ethics. Ms Nkya accused the current leaders for selfishness and marginalising the majority poor fellow Tanzanians. "That is why the gap between the poor and the rich has been growing. That is why social services are deteriorating. We can�t boast of building schools in every ward, while the services are poor and quality of education offered wanting," she said. And addressing a press conference in Dar es Salaam, the national chairman of NCCR-Mageuzi, Mr James Mbatia, also castigated the current leadership, accusing it of diverting the country from the principles set by the founding President. Mr Mbatia charged that they had betrayed Mwalimu Nyerere, claiming that a decade after his death, the nation had gone astray, having abandoned his principles and philosophy. "There is a widening gap between the minority and majority poor Tanzanians, which was not there during the Nyerere era," said Mr Mbatia, who has just returned from an overseas study tour. "This is as a result of the selfishness among the leaders. They don�t think about the majority poor Tanzanians," he said. He warned that if the people�s dignity was not protected and egalitarianism cherished, they would be forced to find a way out of their problems. He said: "As we mark 10 years after Nyerere's death, we should ask ourselves what are we celebrating? What should Nyerere be remembered for and how far the country has implemented the legacy." Mr Mbatia said a national forum should be organised to discuss the widening gap between the poor and rich. In Musoma, President Kikwete said the Government would not hesitate to take appropriate action against people suspected of engaging in acts of corruption. "But given the current situation, where good governance is emphasised, we will not embark on arresting people on suspicion. We have to look for concrete evidence before taking anyone to court," he said. He advised the CCM leaders to campaign for the civic elections confidently, as the Government had done a lot to solve the country's problems. "We have done many things. We promised and we have delivered and will continue to implement what we have planned in order fulfil our promises. It is true that problems will never end, but it is also true that what was promised has been implemented," he said. In his interview with The Citizen, Dr Salim, who has lately been occupied with the UN's panel of wise men, described Mwalimu Nyerere as someone who often followed up issues very closely. "You had to be very well prepared before going to meet him for briefing,"he said. His strictness aside, Mwalimu Nyerere was a very nice person to work with, Dr Salim said, adding that the late leader was also colour blind and never cared about creed or tribe of those he associated with. Another Mwalimu legacy, he added, was his vision of the United Republic of Tanzania, "which remains fundamentally different from how many of people today still see the union between Tanganyika and Zanzibar". Dr Salim added: "Granted, the union was born out of a legal framework, but Mwalimu wanted it to pulsate with the greater spirit of goodwill and mutual understanding that transcended the legalistic bonds. Whether he was right or not, only time will tell." But on the Union issue, CUF secretary general Seif Sharif Hamad saw Mwalimu Nyerere as wanting, saying there were many things he did not do so well as far as Zanzibar was concerned. "I feel that he had a tendency of pushing Zanzibar too far. But he did it so tactically that it was not possible to openly see that he was dictating things. There are many issues during the CCM Central Committee meetings, which eventually contributed to our fallout from the party. It was how he treated Zanzibar," he said. He said that even after retiring, Mwalimu Nyerere was not only advising, as "there is evidence that he was dictating things behind the scenes, some of which were very serious and the people were implementing what he said." A University of Dar es Salaam lecturer, Dr Azaveli Lwaitama, also castigated the current leadership�s lack of commitment to ethics. "In the last 10 years, but more so in the last five years, the top crop of CCM leaders has continued to be drawn from the fairly better off business or professional classes than from the low income earning working people. "This is partly as a result of the relaxation, via the adoption of the 1991 Zanzibar Resolution, of the stringency with which CCM leaders were expected to adhere to the provisions of leadership code of ethics enshrined in the Arusha Declaration," he said. Today, he added, most CCM regional party chairpersons and National Executive Committee members are drawn from the business or professional classes. |
THE FACTS
Lil’ Wayne confirms he impregnated actress Lauren London.
THE SPIN
Months ago The-Dream confirmed that Lil’ Wayne indeed knocked up his ex-wife, Nivea, but no one ever bothered to confirm whether or not Weezy was the father of Lauren London’s unborn child.
Well the man himself finally did on Big Boy’s syndicated radio show.
When asked about the rumors, the fertile rapper said, “That’s not rumors, that’s a kid, that’s a child, that’s a life. You don’t hide from that.”
Good for him not hiding from the rumors. He definitely hid from the condoms, though.
So Lil’ Wayne has one child with ex-wife, Antonia Carter, another from some random Asian women we heard about earlier this year, and two on the way that are due around the exact same time.
One big happy family, ya’ll.
You can hear the soon-to-be four time daddy (with four baby mamas) here:
