THE LAUNCH OF BUNGE LENYE MENO BOOK IN UK
By Ayoub Mzee
TWENTY years ago in the UK , when left-wingers were asked what kind of Scottish Parliament they wanted, they would reply: "A parliament with teeth."
It was a clumsy phrase, but they knew what they meant - a parliament with powers to intervene economically, particularly on jobs and industry. The teeth were for taking bites out of the corporate fat cats.EPA,RICHMOND ? !
It looks like Tanzania Politicians have come up with their own version. This happened yesterday in London when Dr Harrisson Mwakayembe MP ,Vice chair ,Parliamentary Committee on Energy and Minerals, Idd Simba Chair Pride Tanzania , Hon. Freeman Mbowe ,Chair CHADEMA and Ludovich S.L Utouh the controller and Audit General were guests of the House of Lords in Britain to Launch their book-Bunge Lenye Meno
The speeches rolved around Tanzania and its political stability, the relation ship between Development and Donor AID , the injustices at the global trading arena , the role of the opposition and issues about EPA and Richmond Scandals
Tanzania’s population possesses a high degree of political maturity and enjoys unfettered press freedom and a multi-party democracy. Since gaining independence in 1961, the country has witnessed a peaceful democratic change in top leadership twice.
Once again this is evident when the speaker of Parliament Hon William Shija ,members from the opposition Like John Cheyo and CCM- the ruling party members have all contributed to a book ; which underpins political maturity and stability in the country .Despite their political differences , their sense of political maturity is confirmed by their readiness to cooperate
Speaker after speaker went on and on! Hard, were words spoken gently as a symbol of their FREDOM.SOFTLY like streams they broke forth , with no flags of retreat ,LOUD like a roll of thunder-STRIKE!. The massage was got loud and clear in the corridors of power of England that the Tanzania of yesterday is not the Tanzania of today

The sounds of slavery

Vote For The Greenway!

Hi everyone ,

A great opportunity has arisen to get behind and support one of Newham’s great walking and cycling routes the Greenway! The traffic-free route is a favourite with pedestrians, ramblers, cyclists, schools and nature lovers, but it could do with some TLC

The Greenway is one of Newham’s hidden gems and is a unique seven kilometre green corridor linking Hackney’s Victoria Park to Beckton. The Greenway slices through the borough, much of it at roof height, providing stunning views of our heritage, landscape and regeneration sites. The site is also a super-highway for rare wildlife and will also become one of the easiest ways to beat the traffic and walk to the Olympic Park.

Mayor of London , Boris Johnson, has announced that he has grants of up to £400,000 up for grabs to make areas like the Greenway cleaner, greener, safer and more enjoyable. But it’s not the council that has to convince City Hall. We need you to vote for the Greenway - the more votes we get the more chance we have of securing these vital funds, which will make a real difference to the Greenway and, ultimately, to people like you who use it.

We propose to use funds to upgrade:
Existing entrances
Access ramps and steps
Barriers and fencing
Street furniture and signage.
We’d also use the money to create new entrances, improve links to the Greenway and nearby green spaces.

In it to win it – you only have one vote
Log on to www.newham.com and follow the link on the homepage to vote for the Greenway.
Text PARKS and your postcode to 62967 (e.g. PARKS E7 9GH) Text cost 10p plus your standard network rate.
Vote by post. Call 020 7983 4100 to request a postal vote.
You don’t have to live in Newham to vote for the Greenway, so tell everyone you know to make their mark

Please forward this as widely as possible and encourage people to take part in voting

I’m sure that you, like us at OBV were ecstatic when the news came through that Barack Hussain Obama was elected Commander in chief, President Elect to the United States of America.We hoped he would win, we desired him to do so, but until it was official, (no recount, no hanging chad’s)we knew frankly anything could happen.But Obama had two more special elements beside his brilliance, we never accounted for; the audacity of hope, and a community based campaign machine, the likes of which we have never seen in modern politics.Here we must learn that lesson: belief in ourselves and the ability to organise.That’s why I'm asking you to help redouble OBV’s efforts to ensure we achieve social and racial justice. Our campaigns are already producing more community activists: councillors, school governors and magistrates – two more appointed this week alone. But we can, we must demand more justice, more opportunity, and more grassroot decision.My request therefore is simple, please forward this email to a number of your friends and network lists asking them to support us. All they need to do is forward us their contact details so that we can inform them of events and programmes that might interest them.For example, in less than two weeks time Rev Jesse Jackson will be speaking in London, Birmingham, Leicester and Nottingham with a few places still available.Obama’s success tells us: we are stronger when we work together.Send details to: info@obv.org.uk or register online at http://www.obv.org.uk/index.php?option=com_philaform&form_id=1&Itemid=1Also please visit the New Statesman website to read and comment on the latest OBV article about the Obama effect at:http://www.newstatesman.com/uk-politics/2008/11/barack-obama-parties-localSimon Woolley Director OBV

Conflict in the Congo

DEC statement on Conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is still struggling to recover from 15 years of conflict, which has killed millions and devastated the lives of the population through disease and poverty

Despite a peace agreement between rebel factions in January this year, the east is still rocked by violence and lawlessness. The most recent war of 1998–2003 was characterized by mass displacement, collapse of health systems and food shortages, all contributing to major elevations of mortalit

Over a million people remain displaced in Internally Displaced People (IDP) camps.
The situation has deteriorated rapidly since August, with an upsurge in the conflict in recent weeks. An estimated 250,000 civilians in DRC have fled their homes and are living in desperate conditions following the latest outbreak of violence.

DEC Member Agencies below are working directly or with partners in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Action Aid, British Red Cross, CAFOD, Christian Aid, CARE International UK, Concern, Merlin, Oxfam, Save the Children, Tearfund, World Vision and Help the Aged.

The UN has accused both sides of war crimes during the latest violence. The head of UN peacekeeping has asked the UN Security Council for more than 3,000 extra troops to protect civilians in the eastern DR Congo.

In a continually volatile situation the DEC Member Agencies are providing additional aid including urgently needed food, water and medical supplies. Many civilians have been made homeless and some camps are being extended to take extra people.

Member Agencies are now able to carry out assessments across the region and will try to help people either return to their homes or find temporary shelter until they judge it safe to return home

Yesterday In the course of my duty , i found Local Authorities in full force investigating a case of cruelity against a dog. This was in the London Borough Of Harringey

When people think of cruelty, they often think of a person starving or beating an animal. In other words, they think of actions that are against the law. They may also think of things done by other nations, such as whale hunting, bear farming, bull fighting, or clubbing seal pups.

So what is cruelty? In what ways do animals suffer?
Pain. All animals with backbones (vertebrates) feel pain like we do. Hooking fish, fire branding cattle, catching animals in steel-jaw traps, cutting tails off lambs and beaks off hens, all cause pain.

Stress and Fear. Vertebrate animals feel anxiety like we do. Transport is very stressful for animals, especially live export overseas. Being pulled out of the water and left to suffocate causes great stress to fish. Dairy calves taken from their mother after 1 day and trucked to slaughter at 1 week of age suffer greatly.
Frustration. Animals need more than food and water for their well-being - they also need to be able to carry out the behaviour that is natural to their species. Otherwise they become frustrated and may develop abnormal behaviour, just like a mentally disturbed person. Signs of frustration can be seen in battery hens, pigs in tiny stalls, rabbits in laboratory cages, foxes and mink on fur farms, and some zoo and circus animals.

Within the first six months of the creation of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in 1824, its first two inspectors brought 63 people before the courts on animal cruelty charges. The RSPCA's purpose is to prevent cruelty and to promote kindness to animals by all lawful means. One effective way we achieve this is by taking private prosecutions against those who break the laws that are in place to protect animals. Private prosecutionsThe RSPCA has no special powers to help it do this. Everyone in England and Wales has the right to bring a private prosecution against someone who they believe has committed an offence. This right exists in common law and is preserved by section 6(1) of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985. The Law Commission reporting in 1998 said, "The right of private prosecution is an important element in the rule of law". In 2007, out of 137,245 complaints of cruelty investigated, 1,860 cases were reported by our inspectors to the prosecutions department of the RSPCA. This resulted in the conviction of 1,104 defendants, and 861 orders banning people from keeping animals. In 97.2% of cases heard by the courts in 2007, the RSPCA achieved a successful result.

H.E KAMLESH SHARMA

The Commonwealth - The Way Forward
A keynote address by the Commonwealth Secretary-General
"The Commonwealth must identify where it can add value to integration and where it can apply balm to collision."
On 2 October, it was six months to the day since Kamalesh Sharma took up office as Commonwealth Secretary-General. In this fascinating and wide-ranging keynote address, he outlined his vision for the future of the organisation.
He spoke of the Commonwealth's key strengths, the contributions it can make in the future, its responsibilities and ideals. Referring to its 60th anniversary, which will be celebrated in 2009, Kamalesh Sharma remarked that, far from retiring, the Commonwealth is "starting again".
