World Health Organization chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, says the raging conflict in North Kivu makes the Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo extremely challenging and presents dangers and difficulties not experienced since the historic 2014-2015 epidemic in West Africa.
WHO Director-General Tedros returned Sunday from a visit to Beni and Mangina, the epicenters of the Ebola outbreak in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. He says he was worried before he went on this mission, but he is more worried now after having observed first-hand the dangers and difficulties posed by the active conflict in North Kivu.
He says more than 100 armed groups operate in the region. He says there have been 120 violent incidents this year involving killings, kidnappings, rapes and other atrocities.
“That environment is really conducive for Ebola actually to transmit freely because in that area there are places called Red Zones, inaccessible areas because there are many armed groups that operate in that region ... And, these Red Zones could be hiding places for Ebola,” said Tedros.
Tedros is calling on the warring parties for a cessation of hostilities, warning this extremely contagious virus is dangerous for everyone. Despite the many concerns, he says WHO and partners are moving ahead aggressively with the operation to contain this deadly virus.
He says more than 216 health workers and 20 people from the community have been vaccinated against Ebola. He says more vaccinators have been deployed from Guinea to speed this process along, and DRC authorities have given the greenlight for the use of several experimental Ebola drugs.
Tedros says health workers have begun working on case identification and contact tracing, as well as community outreach and educational programs. He says WHO is working with countries neighboring DRC, and is helping Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and South Sudan strengthen their surveillance and screening programs to try to prevent the deadly Ebola virus from crossing their borders.

Mawaziri Waidhinisha Kuundwa Kwa Baraza la Taifa la Kiswahili Nchini Kenya
Baraza la Mawaziri nchini Kenya limeidhinisha kubuniwa kwa Baraza la Taifa la Kiswahili ambalo litatwikwa jukumu la kukuza na kuendeleza lugha hiyo nchini humo.Pendekezo hilo linafuata kipengee 137 cha Mkataba wa Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki ambacho kinasema kwamba lugha ya Kiswahili itaimarishwa, kukuzwa na kutumika kama lugha ya Jumuiya hii.Baraza hilo litatumika kutoa ushauri, na vile vile kuimarisha maongozi ya serikali kuhusiana na kukuza, kulinda na kuunga mkono matumizi ya lugha ya Kiswahili na kushirikisha kazi ya mashirika ya kitaifa, kandaa hii, kitamaduni, mashirika ya elimu na mashirika mengine yanayohusika na lugha ya Kiswahili.Je unazifahamu nchi zinazotumia Kiswahili Afrika?Kamusi Kuu ya Kiswahili yazinduliwa TanzaniaWasomi wa Kiswahili na wadau wengine wamekuwa wakihimiza kuundwa kwa baraza hilo kwa muda mrefu.Prof Hezron Mogambi ambaye ni mhadhiri katika Chuo Kikuu cha Nairobi anasema hatua hiyo ni ya kupongezwa sana."Tumekuwa tukiingoja kwa muda mrefu kwa sababu maendeleo na makuzi ya Kiswahili yamekuwa yakikwazwa kwa sababu ya kukosa baraza kama hili. Matumizi sawa ya Kiswahili yamepigwa jeki," amesema.Kutetea hadhi ya KiswahiliMiongoni mwa mwengine, anasema baraza hilo litasaidia sana katika kuhakikisha kuwa hadhi ya Kiswahili kama lugha rasmi na ya taifa nchini Kenya na kwamba lugha hiyo "inazingatiwa na kuheshimiwa.""Kwa sasa hakuna chombo cha kufanya hivyo. Kiswahili kimekuwa kikitumiwa nchini Kenya katika hafla na shughuli mbalimbali kwa njia isiyofaa. Hakuna wa kukosoa na kuelekeza. Matumizi sawa na upotoshaji utazuiwa kwa kuwa na chombo cha kufanya kazi hii," anasema.Maneno ya Kiswahili yaongezwa kamusi ya KiingerezaProf Mogambi anaeleza kuwa kutokana na kutukuwepo kwa baraza hilo, kumekuwa na vitabu vingi ambavyo vimechapishwa kiholela bila kufuata viwango bora vya lugha na vimekuwa changamoto kuu katika kuendeleza lugha ya Kiswahili."Hii ni pamoja na vitabu vya shule na vile vya kiada. Uchunguzi na urekebishaji wa maandishi kama haya pamoja na mengine yanaweza tu kurekebishwa na kuhakikishiwa ubora baraza la Kiswahili litakapokuwepo," anasema.Aidha, anasema baraza hilo litasaidia taaluma ya tafsiri na ukalimani kwa kuwa "kuna matini nyingi sana ikiwemo stakabadhi za serikali, za watu binafsi, mashirika ya ndani ya nchi na ya kimataifa ambazo zahitaji kutafsiriwa. Huduma kama hii itasaidiwa sana na kusawazishwa kimsamiati na barala la Kiswahili."Mhadhiri na msomi wa lugha ya Kiswahili Hezekiel Gikambi amesema: "Kuanzishwa kwa Baraza la Kiswahili Kenya hata kulikuwa kumechelewa. Tanzania wana Bakita kwa muda Mrefu. Ni hatua nzuri katika kusaidia Kiswahili kukita mizizi kama lugha rasmi nchini Kenya na pia kukidhi hitaji la Jumuiya ya EAC kifungu 137.""Tunatumai wabunge watagundua hilo wapitishe haraka na wataalamu wa Kiswahili wapate kazi katika Baraza hilo. Kitakuwa chombo rasmi cha kukuza Kiswahili nchini."Kwa muda mrefu, wasomi wa Kiswahili wamekuwa wakitegemea taasisi na vyama vya Kiswahili ambavyo si za serikali kukusanyika pamoja na kujadili masuala ya lugha.Waziri Mkuu wa Tanzania Kassim Majaliwa akionyesha Kamusi Kuu ya Kiswahili baada ya kuizindua kwenye ukumbi wa Bunge mjini Dodoma Juni 19, 2017.Miongoni mwa vyama hivyo ni Chama cha Kiswahili cha Taifa (Chakita) kilichoanzishwa mwaka 1998 na Prof Kimani Njogu.Kuna pia Chama Cha Waandishi wa Kiswahili wa Taifa Leo (WAKITA) ambacho huwaleta pamoja wadau wa gazeti la pekee la Kiswahili nchini humo Taifa Leo linalochapishwa na kampuni ya Nation Media group. (Wakita ya Kenya ni tofauti na Wafia Kiswahili Tanzania na Watetezi wa Kiswahili Tanzania)Baraza la TanzaniaTanzania imekuwa na Baraza la Kiswahili la Taifa nchini Tanzania kwa kifupi (Bakita) ambacho ni chombo cha serikali chini ya wizara ya Habari, Utamaduni na Michezo.Baraza hilo liliundwa na sheria ya bunge ya mwaka 1967 kwa lengo la kukuza, kuimarisha na kuendeleza Kiswahili hasa ndani ya Tanzania. Katika marekebisho ya sheria hiyo yaliyofanyika mwaka 1983 Bakita ilipewa uwezo wa kufuatilia na kusaidia ukuzaji wa Kiswahili katika nchi za nje pia.Mwaka 2015 Bakita ilifanikisha mradi wa kutunga kamusi mpya iliyoitwa Kamusi Kuu ya Kiswahili.Kamusi hiyo ilikusanya maneno mengi makuu, yaani vidahizo, kuliko kamusi zilizotangulia na kufikia mwaka jana ilikuwa ina maneno 45,500.

Historia Isiyofutika ya Rais wa Jamuhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania Mhe. Dkt. John Pombe Magufuli.
Na Emmanuel J. ShilatuKama ambavyo Watanzania tunavyomkumbuka Hayati Baba wa Taifa Mwalimu Julius Nyerere kwa kusaidia ukombozi wa upatikanaji wa uhuru ama kama ambavyo Hayati Moringe anavyokumbukwa kwa mapambano ya ubadhirifu wa mali za umma, pia Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania Dkt. John Pombe Magufuli anazidi kujenga historia ya kipindi chote isiyofutika kutokana na utendaji, uchapakazi na uzalendo wake kwa Taifa. Haya hapa ni baadhi ya Mambo ya kihistoria na yenye heshima kubwa kwa Taifa ambayo Rais Dkt. Magufuli aliyoyafanya;- *(i) Kuhamia Dodoma*Wazo la Serikali kuhamia kwenye makao makuu ya nchi mkoani Dodoma liliasisiwa na Baba wa Taifa, Mwalimu Nyerere mwaka 1973 lakini lilishindwa kutekelezwa katika awamu zote. Si awamu ya kwanza, wala ya pili, ama ya Tatu au ya nne bali limeweza kufanikiwa kwenye utawala wa Serikali ya awamu ya Tano inayoongozwa na Rais Magufuli. Leo hii karibia Serikali yote imehamia Dodoma.Wizara, taasisi na idara za Serikali, Waziri Mkuu wameshahamia Dodoma. Mwishoni mwa mwaka huu Rais Magufuli naye atahamia Dodoma.Iliasisiwa na Mwalimu Nyerere, ikahaidiwa kwenye ilani ya uchaguzi, imekuja kutekelezwa vyema na Rais Magufuli. Hii ni historia isiyofutika ya uthubutu, uzalendo alionao Rais Magufuli. *(ii) Ujenzi wa Miundombinu*Hili halina ubishi kwa asilimia kubwa kabisa miundombinu ya nchi hii imejengwa chini ya usimamizi wa Dkt. Magufuli toka alipokuwa Naibu Waziri wa Ujenzi, Waziri wa Ujenzi na sasa Rais wa nchi.Hauwezi ukazungumzia uwepo wa mitandao ya barabara nchi nzima pasipo kumtaja Rais Magufuli; hauwezi kuzungumzia uwepo wa madaraja makubwa ya kisasa kama ya Daraja la Nyerere, Daraja la Mkapa pasipo kumtambua mchango wa Rais Magufuli. Leo hii nchini tunajivunia uwepo wa flyovers.Rais Magufuli ameonyesha uwezo na heshima kubwa ya ujenzi wa Miundombinu nchini ambayo imekuwa msaada mkubwa wa kimawasiliano, usafirishaji wa Watu na mizigo, kukuza utalii, kuimarisha shughuli za kibiashara na kuongeza mapato ya nchi. *(iii) Kulifufua Shirika la Ndege*Tangu mwaka 1977 nchi yetu ilikuwa na shirika la ndege linalosua sua na linalojiendesha kihasara kubwa. Mara baada ya Serikali ya awamu ya Tano inayoongozwa na Rais Magufuli imefanikiwa kununua ndege mpya 7 na mpaka sasa zimeshawasili ndege mpya 4 ikiwamo ndege kubwa aina ya Boeing 787-8.Wale baadhi wanaosema ndege si kipaumbele wala muhimu kwa Watanzania inabidi watambue Leo hii makusanyo ya mapato ndani ya Shirika la ndege (ATCL) yametoka Tsh. Milioni 700 mpaka kufikia Tsh. Bilioni 4.5. Hii ndio faida ambayo Watanzania tumeipata ya kuwa na kiongozi mwenye maono na mtazamo wa mbali zaidi, Rais Magufuli. *(iv) Ujenzi wa Stiegler’s Gorge*Utawala wa awamu ya kwanza uliokuwa ukiongozwa na Mwalimu Nyerere ulikuja na wazo wa kujenga Stiegler’s Gorge mnamo mwaka 1981 lakini umeshindwa kufanyika mpaka awamu hii ya 5 inayoongozwa na Rais Magufuli umeamua kufufua na kuliendeleza wazo hili.Mradi wa Stiegler’s Gorge kupitia Mto Rufiji utafanikiwa kuzalisha Megawattz 2100 utakapo kamilika. Ukamilifu wa mradi huu utajenga uhakika wa umeme nchini, utashusha bei ya umeme nchini na pia utamjengea Rais Magufuli heshima kubwa isiyofutika. *(v) Mapambano dhidi ya Rushwa na ufisadi nchini.*Rais Magufuli ameingia kwenye historia ya kiongozi ambaye Serikali anayoiongoza kuwa na mapambano ya dhahiri ya rushwa na ufisadi nchini. Tumeshuhudia Mafisadi Papa ambao walikuwa hawashikiki wala kukamatika wakipandishwa Mahakamani.Katika miaka ya nyuma ilikuwa suala gumu sana kwa Watuhumiwa “Mapapa” kuguswa tu, achilia mbali kupandishwa Mahakamani. Haya ni mapambano ya wazi wazi ya Serikali ya Rais Magufuli ya vita dhidi ya rushwa na ufisadi nchini.Leo hii Tanzania imepanda kwa nafasi 13 katika mwaka 2016 na 2017 na pia ikishika nafasi ya pili (2) kwa nchi za Jumuiya ya Afrika Mashariki. *(vi) Uwazi wa taarifa na udhibiti wa rasilimali za nchi* Tumeshuhudia Serikali ikiweka uwazi kwenye mikataba na uchunguzi wa rasilimali za Taifa na kuweka makubaliano mapya yenye tija Mathalani tumeona uwazi wa sekta ya madini ya dhahabu, almas na Tanzanite ambapo Taifa tumeona namna ambavyo tulivyokuwa tukiibiwa na Serikali kuweka mikakati mipya ya kutokuibiwa tena. Kama haitoshi tumeshuhudia wawekezaji wakibanwa vilivyo juu ya mikataba isiyokuwa na tija kwa Taifa.Ni Serikali ya Rais Magufuli iliweka uthubutu wa kuwabana wawekezaji wa madini wa ACACIA iliyozaa matunda kwa Serikali ya Tanzania kumiliki asilimia 16 ya hisa katika makampuni ya uchimbaji wa madini, Serikali kupata gawio la faida ya madini ya asilimia 50 kwa 50. Yote haya yamewezekana kwa sababu ya uzalendo wake Rais Dk. Magufuli *(vii) Ujenzi wa Bomba la Mafuta*Serikali ya Rais Magufuli imefanikisha vilivyo kushirikiana na nchi ya Uganda kujenga Bomba la Mafuta linalotoka nchini Uganda mpaka Tanga nchini Tanzania.Ujenzi huo wa bomba la mafuta utazalisha ajira nchini na utaongeza pato la Taifa. Hayo yote yamefanikiwa kutokana na Serikali ya Rais Magufuli kuzidi kuimarisha mahusiano ya kidiplomasia na nchi nyinginezo. *Itaendelea …..* *Shilatu E.J*0767488622

US Ambassador to Zimbabwe: Sanctions Removal Linked to Genuine Reforms
U.S. Ambassador to Zimbabwe Brian Nichols has said the southern African country must embark on genuine reforms if it wants Washington to remove sanctions against some of the country's top officials. The ambassador spoke Wednesday after meeting with Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa at the State House in Harare.
The approximately hour-long meeting took place a week after U.S. President Donald Trump signed the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Amendment Act of 2018, also known as ZIDERA.
The act renewed sanctions the U.S. imposed on Zimbabwean individuals and companies starting in 2002, following accusations of human rights abuses and election rigging against then-president Robert Mugabe.
Current President Mnangagwa is among those targeted by the travel bans and financial restrictions.
When Mnangagwa came into power last November, he promised to normalize relations with the U.S. and with European countries that also imposed sanctions.
Nichols said Wednesday that the U.S. likes the reforms introduced since Mugabe's ouster last November, but is troubled by the post-election violence seen August 1, when troops opened fire on demonstrators protesting a delay in presidential election results.
"President Mnangagwa's commitment to a transparent investigation of those events is very, very important for my government," Nichols said. "The violence of August 1st, the death of six people in the streets here, intimidation of the opposition polling agents, violence in the areas around Harare, have all been issues of concern."
Mnangagwa eventually was declared the winner of the July 30 poll, but the opposition has filed a legal challenge in the Constitutional Court, saying the results are false and that opposition leader Nelson Chamisa was the actual victor.
Nichols said Wednesday he hopes the court will be impartial in its handling of the case.
Mnangagwa described the Wednesday meeting with Nichols as "very, very positive."
"[Nichols] must have a correct appreciation of the environment in the country," Mnangagwa said. "We were able to share his views and my views on the current situation in the country. And we are moving forward as a country and we want our people to be peaceful. Only when the country is peaceful and stable can development thrive, not when you are throwing stones at each other."
When asked to comment on ZIDERA, the 75-year-old president laughed off the question before departing in a waiting car.
The Constitutional Court has about two weeks to rule on the opposition's electoral petition.

Kenyatta's War on Corruption: Lasting Legacy or Political Theater?
Two top-ranking officials in Kenya were charged with corruption this week in a $3 billion Chinese-built railway project, as part of President Uhuru Kenyatta's efforts to show no official is out of reach in the war on graft. However, some analysts question if the charges will lead to convictions or if they are simply political theater.
Kenya Railways' managing director Atanas Maina and Lands Commission chairman Muhammad Swazuri are accused of overseeing $2 million in fraudulent compensation payments. More than a dozen other Kenyan officials and business people are also facing charges related to the illegal buying and selling of the state corporation's land.
While the accused deny the charges, the arrests were hailed in Kenya as a rare crackdown on top-level corruption.
However, political analyst Linda Oloo says the prosecutions are less about systemic change and more about Kenyatta.
"Uhuru [Kenyatta] is more concerned about his legacy [and] how will history judge him after his presidency, so that is why he is trying to play the good-man syndrome right now, by doing things that will appeal to the general public. What he is doing is mostly for his image after office," Oloo said.
In June, Kenyatta announced that all public servants would undergo a compulsory "lifestyle audit" to account for the sources of their income and assets.
Some argue it's not all political theater.
Kenyatta and Swiss President Alain Berset signed an agreement aimed at helping Kenya recover corrupt assets stashed by Kenyan officials in Swiss banks.
In addition, Kenyatta's director of public prosecutions has arrested top officials at Kenya's National Youth Service, electric power provider, and more than a dozen firms accused of benefiting from illegal tenders and misappropriated funds.
And Kenyatta on Sunday declared his determination to win the war on graft, even if he has to go after his close associates.
"Over the last few weeks, I have lost many friends," Kenyatta said. "Many have called me asking, 'How can you be watching when all the destruction is going on?' I say a time has come to fight impunity."
Opposition leader Raila Odinga last year accused the president of diverting the railway to benefit the Kenyatta family. Odinga ceased his criticism in April after making a deal with Kenyatta to work together.
In June, a Kenyan lawmaker linked Kenyatta's younger brother, Muhoho, to the importation of contraband sugar. In response, President Kenyatta said that if there is evidence, then his brother should be investigated and prosecuted.
But going after a sitting president's family is unlikely in Kenya, and the National Land Accord Movement's David Kimanzi doubts top officials will be among those punished.
"There has not been a single conviction of a person who has looted the public coffers. Every person now is looking for how it is going to be their turn to eat," Kimanzi said.
Despite this week's high-level arrests, there are still officials who are untouchable, according to Kimanzi. If you touch them, he says, you touch the very core of the government.

(Picha na Haroub Hussein )Na Salum Vuai,.JUKUMU la mabalozi wanaoziwakilisha nchi zao katika mataifa ya nje, ni kuwaunganisha wananchi na sio kuwa karibu na serikali na viongozi pekee.Kauli hiyo imetolewa na Balozi mdogo wa Oman aliyepo Zanzibar Dk. Ahmad Hamood Al Habsy, alipokuwa akizungumza na wanafunzi wa Chuo Kikuu cha Zanzibar Tunguu wanaosomea diplomasia na uhusiano wa kimataifa walipomtembelea ofisini kwake Migombani mjini Unguja.Balozi huyo alieleza kuwa, kwa kutambua hilo, amefungua milango ya ofisi yake kutoa fursa kwa wananchi mbalimbali wa Zanzibar pamoja na viongozi, kwenda kujifunza masuala muhimu kwa lengo la kuimarisha mahusiano ya kihistoria kati ya nchi yao na Oman.Alisema, baadhi ya watu wanadhani kwamba kufanya kazi katika ofisi za kibalozi kuna mipaka inayowatenganisha mabalozi na wananchi wa kawaida, jambo alilosema sio sahihi.Dk. Al Habsy alisema licha ya mabalozi kuwajibika kiserikali katika mataifa wanayopelekwa kufanya kazi, pia wanapaswa kuwa karibu na wananchi wa nchi za nje wanazokuweko, wakitambua kuwa nayo ni sehemu ya majukumu yao.“Kwa kuwa balozi huwa anapeperusha bendera ya nchi yake ugenini, anapaswa kujua kwamba wenyeji wake sio serikali na viongozi pekee, bali wananchi wana haki ya kuwa miongoni mwa wahudumiwa wake kwa mambo mbalimbali,” alieleza.Balozi huyo alieleza kufurahishwa kwake na ziara ya wanafunzi hao iliyolenga kubadilishana mawazo pamoja na kujifunza juu ya shughuli za kidiplomasia, akiwataka pia kujibidiisha katika kusoma lugha mbalimbali za kimataifa ikiwemo Kiarabu.Alisema kutokana na uhusiano wake na Oman uliodumu kwa zaidi ya karne mbili sasa, Wazanzibari hawana sababu ya kutokujua lugha ya Kiarabu ambayo pia ndiyo msingi wa dini ya Kiislamu inayofuatwa na asilimia kubwa ya wananchi.Kwa upande mwengine, alisema mahusiano ya Zanzibar na Oman sio ya kirafiki ambao unaweza kufa, bali ni ya udugu wa damu utakaobaki milele hadi mwisho wa dunia.“Oman inasaidia nchi nyingi lakini kwa Zanzibar ina msaada wa kipekee kwani watu wa nchi hizi ni ndugu wa damu na hilo haifutiki. Ziara kati ya nchi zetu zimeongezeka sana, hata nafasi za ndege kati ya Muscat na Zanzibar au Tanzania, zinakuwa shida kutokana na wingi wa wasafiri,” alifafanua Dk. Al Habsy.Kwa hivyo, alisema ofisi yake itahakikisha inatanua fursa mbalimbali za kuisaidia Zanzibar hasa katika uwanja wa elimu, ili kuleta mabadiliko ya kiuchumi na kijamii kwa manufaa ya watu wa pande mbili hizo. Mapema, Mhadhiri wa somo la diplomasia na mahusiano ya kimataifa katika Chuo Kikuu cha Zanzibar Tunguu Mohammed Yussuf, akitoa shukurani kwa ubalozi huo alisema, ziara hiyo imewafunza mengi yenye tija.Aidha alisema ziara kama hizo katika ofisi za kibalozi, ni sehemu ya mafunzo yanayoweza kuwaongezea maarifa wanafunzi wa fani hiyo ambao ndio mabalozi wa miaka ijayo.“Namna wewe Mhe. Balozi unavyofanya kazi ya kuwaunganisha wananchi wa Oman na Zanzibar, ni darsa tosha kwetu na hasa wanafunzi hawa, kujua nidhamu inayohitajika kwenye kazi hii ya kidiplomasia,” alisema Mhadhiri huyo.Kwa upande wao, wanafunzi hao walieleza kufarijika kwa mapokezi waliyopata, na kusema wana matumaini makubwa ziara hiyo itafungua milango zaidi ya ushirikiano kati yao na ubalozi huo.Aidha walimuomba balozi huyo mambo mbalimbali, ikiwemo kuangalia uwezekano wa kuwatafutia Chuo Kikuu chochote nchini Oman kitakachokuwa tayari kuanzisha urafiki na chuo chao, na hatimaye kujenga utamaduni wa kutembeleana kwa lengo la kujifunza.Halikadhalika, walishauri kusaidiwa njia za kujiendeleza katika lugha ya Kiarabu ambayo pia wanafundishwa katika chuo chao, kuwaandaa kumudu kazi ya kidiplomasia.Balozi mdogo Dk. Al Habsy, aliahidi kuangalia namna ya kuyatafutia majibu maombi yao, huku akiutaka uongozi wa chuo hicho kuyawasilisha rasmi kwa barua ili yafanyiwe kazi kadri itakavyowezekana.
