Talks on Z’bar situation on track, says Dr Shein

-
 
Dr Shein met with President John Magufuli in Dar es Salaam to brief the latter on progress made so far in the dialogue aimed at finding an amicable solution to the stand-off in Zanzibar, after the electoral body annulled the polls, claiming it was marred with irregularities.
"I came here to brief the president (Dr Magufuli) on progress made so far in the talks, which started on November 9," the statement released by the Directorate of Presidential Communication Unit read in part.
Dr Shein is the chairman of the special committee involved in the talks, which includes, among others, Zanzibar First Vice- President, Mr Seif Sharif Hamad, Second Vice-President, Ambassador Seif Ali Idd, retired union presidents Ali Hassan Mwinyi and Dr Jakaya Kikwete as well as Zanzibar's retired presidents Dr Amani Abeid Karume and Dr Salmin Amour.
The move elicited strong reaction from Mr Seif Shariff Hamad, the CUF presidential candidate, who opposed the decision, saying the elections were free and fair and proclaimed himself the winner of the presidential poll.
However, the ZEC Chairman, Mr Jecha Salim Jecha, had explained that the election was not free and violated laws and regulations, including double voting and cheating.
He had also accused ZEC commissioners of partisanship. Yesterday's talks followed another meeting between President Magufuli and Mr Hamad at State House a few days ago.
During the meeting, Dr Magufuli had promised to ensure peace and harmony is maintained in Zanzibar as leaders work to resolve the current political situation.
Both leaders had urged the public to be patient and provide a chance for the discussions that are ongoing to reach amicable and peaceful solution, stressing that CCM and CUF will not fail to find a sustainable solution to the political situation in the Isles.
Meanwhile, a special Committee of Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) National Executive Committee (NEC) is tomorrow expected to convene a meeting at the Party's Sub-Office at Kisiwandui in the Isles.
"Among other issues, the meeting will receive and discuss various reports from the party's departments and units," CCM said in a statement. The meeting comes after the Secretariat of the special Committee of NEC held the meeting on December 23, this year, to organise the next meeting agenda

Wikiendi hii msimu wa Ligi Daraja la Kwanza 2015/16, unatarajiwa kuhitimishwa kwa kuchezwa mechi 12 katika viwanja tofauti huku timu zote 24 zikishuka dimbani, zipo zinazosaka pointi muhimu huku nyingine zikikamilisha ratiba tu kwani hazina cha kupoteza. Tayari Ruvu Shooting kutoka Kundi B, imeshajikatia tiketi ya kucheza Ligi Kuu Bara msimu ujao, huku JKT Kanembwa iliyokuwa Kundi C ikiwa ni timu ya kwanza kushuka daraja. Vita iliyobaki ni ya kutafuta nafasi ya kuungana na Ruvu Shooting na nyingine ni ile ya kuepuka kuifuata JKT Kanembwa. Katika vita ya kupanda, African Lyon inaongoza Kundi A ikiwa na pointi 26, inafuatiwa na Friends Rangers yenye pointi 23 sawa na Ashanti United inayoshika nafasi ya tatu, lakini tofauti ya mabao ya kufunga na kufungwa ndiyo inayowatenganisha. Mechi zao za mwisho, African Lyon vs Ashanti na Friends vs Kiluvya United, hivyo basi endapo Friends ikiibuka na ushindi na Lyon ikapoteza basi Friends inapanda, lakini ...

REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korean and U.S. troops began large-scale military exercises on Monday in an annual test of their defenses against North Korea, which called the drills “nuclear war moves” and threatened to respond with an all-out offensive.

Security Council resolution and tough new sanctions. Isolated North Korea has rejected criticism of is nuclear and rocket programs, even from old ally China, and last week leader Kim Jong Un ordered hi...
