First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me…and there was no one left to speak for me - Martin Niemoller.
We should all be reminded that injustice only succeeds when people wait until it’s their turn to face it.
No one is safe until we’re all safe!
Per night. This is what a total number of nights looks like. Half a billion for one trip which was even “official leave”. The example I am using is still Among’s but I know for a fact that when her perdiem was increased to $4,000 a night, her deputy’s was increased to $3,500. He also got the annual official leave.
I always want to put the torture I and @bonifacemwangi were subjected to in Tanzania behind me but yesterday and today have refused. A year later, we are yet to recover from it. I still have to wear shoes prescribed by doctors fitted with feet pads. In March the pain was so bad and I was given cortisone shots in between the toes. They numbed the pain for a few weeks and we went back to zero. When I say I the fall of terrible people who abuse power and don’t care about the pain their actions cause to other people should be celebrated, I think of Mafwele, the police officer that looked into our eyes and told us he’s will deal with us and we will forever remember his face. When people asked about our whereabouts the following day, he told them he will do whatever he wants to us and there is nothing anyone will do. What he did didn’t stop us from demanding for the respect of human rights and dignity. Even the killing of Tanzanians by him and that murderous regime of Samia Suluhu hasn’t stopped the rest from agitating for better governance. And his day will also come. Even if I am not here when it comes, others that he has caused immense suffering will celebrate. And that’s the legacy he, and other corrupt, murderous leaders and civil servants will leave behind.
