Iran's Supreme leader AYATOLLAH ALI KHAMENEI left behind no palaces, no bank accounts, and no fortune after 47 years in POWER... No luxury yachts. No hidden billions. No golden thrones. Just one simple life serving his people.
~Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed~Proverbs 31:8–9
My advocacy journey did not begin today. It began decades ago during my years in the fashion industry in Germany, where I first discovered the power of using one’s platform and voice to uplift others.
Over the years, I became involved in various causes in Tanzania and was recognized by government institutions for my work. During the HIV/AIDS pandemic, I founded the Tausi AIDS Fund (TAF), a nonprofit organization that, according to our records, reached more than 55,000 Tanzanians through awareness campaigns, support initiatives, and humanitarian efforts.
My advocacy extended to supporting people with albinism, promoting access to education, empowering women and girls, and championing the well-being of vulnerable children and families. In 2022/2023, while filming a documentary showcasing the beauty, culture, and potential of Tanzania, I was invited to the Parliament of Tanzania-a reflection of the collaborative approach. Halafu wananiita leo eti- anti-government nilipokataa their killings & ufisadi.
First and most as my previous approach -I believed in diplomacy. I believed in dialogue. I believed that meaningful change could be achieved by working together.
But after witnessing the escalating human rights violations in Tanzania, I could no longer remain silent. I continued to engage through diplomatic channels, hoping those in power would listen. Sadly, they did not.
Then came October 29, 2025.
The loss of so many lives changed me forever. As a mother, I took it personally. I saw sons and daughters whose futures were stolen, families shattered, and communities left grieving. At that moment, advocacy for justice was no longer optional-it became a responsibility.
I will continue to speak until justice is served.
Last year, I launched the Tausi Likokola Global Empowerment Foundation (TLGEF) in USA @tlgefoundation -To date, much of our work has been self-funded, self supported and also by people who knows me and shared my belief that together we can make an extraordinary difference ….these are people believing in humanity…Some members of our board grew up with me. Others have known me for years-some for decades. They include doctors, lawyers, and professionals from various fields to students who generously lend their expertise and hearts to this mission.
Even as our current advocacy efforts have focused heavily on human rights, justice, and accountability for Tanganyika, TLGEF continues its broader mission of serving women, girls, and vulnerable families through practical support-providing menstrual hygiene supplies for schoolgirls, educational assistance, community outreach, and other humanitarian initiatives.
This month, we concluded our second board meeting of the year. As we look ahead, we remain committed to growing our impact, expanding our partnerships, and continuing to make a difference wherever we can.
I have always believed that each of us has a role to play in creating a better world. I invite others to join us-not because one person can do everything, but because together, we can do something meaningful.
Today, I found myself thinking of Mdude, who communicated with me regularly before his enforced disappearance. I took his book with me to the park and reflected on the weight of all that has happened.
How can anyone look at the trail of blood left behind and remain silent? Look at what happened on October 29. Didn’t people like Soka, Mdude, Hon. Humphrey Polepole, and others warn us about where this path was leading?
How do you cling to power after so many lives have been shattered and lost? And still, Tundu Lissu remains behind bars.
This is not acceptable. Haikubaliki.
For the sake of those who can no longer speak, we must continue to remember, to bear witness, and to demand justice.
Always verify the source. Truth never needs noise-only facts. Facts speak louder than propaganda and misleading narratives.
They didn’t care about human lives. They lied about everything else, so it should surprise no one that they continue to spread misinformation to avoid accountability. When information comes from only one side, recognize it for what it is: an attempt to shape a narrative.
If there is no official statement from the U.S., then there are no confirmed changes.
Next week is an important week. Continue praying. Pray for humanity without ceasing. Pray for Tanzania.
The countdown is on. In the end, truth and justice will prevail. 🙏🏾🇹🇿

Kiswahili:
Daima hakikisheni chanzo cha taarifa. Ukweli hauhitaji kelele bali unahitaji facts. Ukweli unajisemea kuliko propaganda na taarifa za kupotosha za wanaolipwa kudanganya. Tusubiri official statement zitatoka kwa walioweka bill na vikwazo siyo washutumiwa.
Hawakujali maisha ya watu. Walidanganya kuhusu mambo mengine mengi, sasa ndiyo watasema ukweli au kuendelea kusambaza upotoshaji ili kukwepa uwajibikaji. Taarifa zinapotoka upande mmoja pekee, zitambue ni jaribio la kujenga narrative fulani.
Ikiwa hakuna taarifa rasmi kutoka Marekani, basi hakuna mabadiliko yaliyothibitishwa.
Wiki ijayo ni muhimu sana. Tuendelee kuomba. Tuendelee kuiombea Tanzania bila kukoma.
Mwishoni, ukweli na haki vitashinda. 🙏🏾🇹🇿

Watanzania, kuna takataka inatembea juu ya Mswaada wa kumshughurikia samia suluhu hassan na genge lake. Takataka hiyo inasema kuna vipengele vimeondolewa. Puuzeni. Mswaada unaanza kupigiwa kura wiki ijayo.
Nimesikia Kombo na Yuda wanakuja DC, watatukuta rada.

أهنئ إخواني حكام الإمارات وشعبها والمقيمين على أرضها الطيبة بمناسبة عيد الأضحى المبارك، داعياً الله تعالى أن يعيد هذه المناسبة المباركة على وطننا والعالم أجمع بالأمن والاستقرار والرخاء.
Nimefikiri na kutafakari kwa muda mrefu baada ya matukio ya ukiukwaji wa haki, utu na dhuluma dhidi ya uhai wa binadamu yaliyotokea tarehe 29 Oktoba 2025. Siwezi kuendelea kuishi katika huzuni na ukimya tena.
Kwa dhamira yangu binafsi, leo nimejiondoa rasmi kutoka CCM na kurejea CHADEMA kwa kufuata taratibu zote za CHADEMA.
Kwa Watanzania wote, na wanachama wa CHADEMA wale walioumizwa au kukatishwa tamaa na msimamo wangu wa awali, naomba radhi kwa dhati pale nilipokuwa kinyume na matarajio yetu ya pamoja katika safari ya kutafuta haki, utu na demokrasia ya kweli.
Naam, binadamu hukosea, lakini dhamira inapozinduka ni wajibu kusimama upande unaouona kuwa wa kweli na wa haki.
Asanteni Sana.
@Dutchess699031 Cheating is "breach of trust". Once lost, trust is gone - forever.
That's why Gov't terrorizes us for compliance. Trust long gone, never to return.
