Waziri Membe aongea kuhusu Kikao cha 18 cha AU

Kikao cha 18 cha Wakuu wa Nchi na Serikali wa Umoja wa Afrika (AU) kimemalizika hivi karibuni mjini Addis Ababa, Ethiopia ambapo kilihudhuriwa na Wakuu wa Nchi na Serikali wapatao 40, akiwemo Mhe. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania.  Wakuu hao walitoa msisitizo wa uimarishwaji wa biashara miongoni mwa nchi za Afrika na uhumimu wa uanzishwaji wa Soko Huru Barani Afrika (Continental Free Trade Area – CFTA) ifikapo mwaka 2017.

Hayo yalibainiwa leo na Mhe. Bernard K. Membe (MB), Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa, alipokutana na waandishi wa habari ofisini kwake jijini Dar es Salaam.  Katika mazungumzo yake, Mhe. Membe alisema kuwa Wakuu hao walijadili kwa kina kauli mbiu ya “Kukuza Biashara miongoni mwa Nchi za Afrika – (Boosting Intra-African Trade” na umuhimu wake kwa Bara la Afrika.  Ilibainishwa kuwa biashara miongoni mwa nchi za Afrika ni kidogo mno ikilinganishwa na biashara kati ya Afrika na nchi nyingine za nje ya Bara la Afrika.

Aidha, Mhe. Membe alisema Wakuu hao walijadili umuhimu wa uanzishwaji wa Soko Huru Barani Afrika (Continental Free Trade Area- CFTA) ifikapo mwaka 2017, na kwamba uanzishwaji huo utakuza uchumi na kuleta maendeleo endelevu na kuongeza nafasi za ajira Barani Afrika.   Kadhalika, Kamati ya Ngazi ya Juu kuhusu Biashara ya Afrika (High Level African Trade Committee – HATC) ilipendekezwa iwe na jukumu la kuratibu suala hilo na kutanzua vikwazo vinavyoweza kujitokeza, pamoja na kuishirikisha Kamisheni ya Uchumi ya Afrika ya Umoja huo – UNECA na Benki ya Maendeleo ya Afrika (African Development Bank  - AfDB) kuisadia Afrika katika utekelezaji wake na hatua zilizokubalika katika kuanzisha CFTA.

Kikao hicho kilifunguliwa rasmi tarehe 29 Januari, 2012 chini ya unyekiti wa Mhe. Theodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, Rais wa Jamhuri ya Equatorial Guinea na kufanyika katika jengo jipya ambalo AU imejengewa na Serikali ya China.  Jengo hilo ni zawadi kutoka Serikali hiyo ikiwa ni ishara ya urafiki wa kweli na wa dhati kati ya Afrika na China na lilifunguliwa rasmi tarehe 28 January 2012 na Mhe. Jia Qinglin, Mwenyekiti wa CPPCC (Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference).  Ujenzi wa jengo hilo umegharimu kiasi cha US $200 milioni.

Awali, Kikao hicho kilitanguliwa na vikao viwili: kwanza, Kikao cha Kamati ya Mabalozi, ambacho kilifanyika tarehe 23 hadi 24 Januari, 2012 na; Pili, Kikao cha Baraza la Mawaziri kilichofanyika tarehe 26 hadi 27 Januari, 2012.

Aidha, Wakuu hao wa Umoja wa Afrika walifanya uchaguzi wa nafasi mbalimbali katika Umoja huo na kujadili masuala mbalimbali yanayohusu amani na usalama Barani Afrika.  Katika uchaguzi wa Mwenyekiti wa AU, Mhe. Boni Yayi, Rais wa Jamhuri ya Benin ndiye aliyechukua nafasi ya uenyekiti huo badala ya Mhe. Rais Mbasogo wa Equatorial Guinea. 

Sambamba na uchaguzi wa Benin kuwa Mwenyekiti wa AU, nchi nyingine zilizochaguliwa (Members of the Bureau) kusaidiana na Benin, zilikuwa ni: Uganda kutoka kanda ya Mashariki mwa Afrika (Makamu wa Kwanza wa Mwenyekiti); Tunisia kutoka Kaskazini mwa Afrika (Makamu wa Pili wa Mwenyekiti); Afrika Kusini kutoka kanda ya Kusini mwa Afrika (Makamu wa Tatu wa Mwenyekiti); na Central African kutoka kanda ya Afrika ya Kati (Rappoteur).  Nchi nyingine zilizoteuliwa kama wasaidizi katika Drafting Committee ni Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania, Algeria, Libya, Afrika Kusini, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Gabon na Chad.

Aidha, Wakuu hao walifanya uchaguzi wa Mwenyekiti wa Kamisheni ya AU tarehe 30, ambao wagombea wa nafasi hiyo walikuwa ni Mhe. Dkt. Jean Ping, raia wa Gabon, aliyekuwa akitetea nafasi yake, na Mhe. Dkt. Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, raia wa Afrika Kusini.  Jitihada za kupiga kura mara nne za kumchagua Mwenyekiti mpya wa Kamisheni hiyo zilishindikana kufuatana na taratibu za AU za mshindi kupata kura 36 (theluthi mbili ya Nchi Wanachama 53 zinazostahili kupiga kura) na hivyo kukosekana mshindi.

Hivyo, Wakuu wa Nchi na Serikali waliamua kusimamisha uchaguzi huo hadi Kikao kijacho cha Wakuu wa Nchi na Serikali kinachotarajiwa kufanyika mwezi Juni 2012.  Aidha, Wakuu wa Nchi na Serikali waliamua kuunda Kamati (Ad-Hoc Committee of Heads of State and Government) ambayo itajumuisha nchi moja kutoka kila kanda chini ya Uenyekiti wa Benin.  Katika kamati hiyo, nchi za Gabon na Afrika Kusini zitashiriki.  Jukumu la kamati hiyo ni kushughulikia masuala yote yanayohusu uchaguzi unaokuja wa kujaza nafasi katika Kamisheni ya AU.

Aidha, Wakuu hao walifanya uteuzi wa wanachama 10 wa Baraza la Amani na Usalama (Peace and Security Council – PSC) la AU na kuziteua nchi za Cameroon, Congo, Djibouti, Tanzania, Misri, Angola, Lesotho, Cote d’Ivoire, Gambia, Guinea.  Nchi hizo zitatumikia PSC kwa kipindi cha miaka miwili kuanzia mwezi Machi 2012.

Katika mjadala wa suala la amani na usalama Barani Afrika, Kikao hicho pia kilijadili kwa kirefu juhudi zinazofanyika katika kutafuta suluhu za migogoro na maendeleo ya nchi mbalimbali zikiwemo Tunisia, Misri na Libya.  Kuhusu nchi ya Madagascar, Wakuu hao walipongeza juhudi za Jumuiya ya Maendeleo ya Kusini mwa nchi za Afrika (SADC) kwa hatua ya kutafuta suluhu ya mgogoro na kuifikisha nchi hiyo kusaini mpangilio wa kumaliza mgogoro uliyofanyika tarehe 16 September, 2011.

Kuhusu Somalia, Wakuu wa Nchi na Serikali walielezea pia kuridhishwa kwao na hatua iliyofikiwa katika kutafuta suluhu nchini humo.  Aidha, waliunga mkono hatua ya kuimarisha AMISOM pamoja na vikundi vya TFG. Vile vile, walihimiza wadau wa AU kuunga mkono juhudi zinazoendelea.  Mwisho, walionyesha matumaini yao kwa Mkutano kuhusu Somalia unaotarajiwa kufanyika London tarehe 23 Februari, 2012. 

Kadhalika, kuhusu Sudan, Wakuu hao waliisifu AU-UN Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) kwa mchango wake katika kutafuta amani na usalama katika Darfur.  Aidha, Wakuu wa Nchi na Serikali walilaani mapigano yanayoendelea katika maeneo ya Blue Nile na Kordofan. 

Wakuu hao pia walielezea masikitiko yao ya hali inayoendelea ati ya nchi mbili za Sudan na Sudan Kusini.  Hivyo, walizitaka nchi hizo mbili kuacha mara moja hatua binafsi wanazochukua kuhusiana na mafuta, ambayo inaweza kuleta athari katika mahusiano ya nchi hizo.

Nchi ya Tanzania ilikuwa ni mojawapo ya nchi zilizowasilisha agenda wakati wa Kikao cha 18 cha Wakuu wa Nchi na Serikali.  Agenda ya kwanza ilihusu ombi la Tanzania kuwa mwenyeji wa Sekretarieti ya AU ya Bodi ya Ushauri dhidi ya Rushwa (AU Advisory Board on Corruption).  Wakuu wa Nchi na Serikali kwa kutambua umuhimu wa Bodi hiyo kushirikiana na Koti ya Afrika inayohusu Haki za Binadamu na Watu (African Court on Human and People’s Rights), ambayo iko Arusha, Tanzania, katika kuimarisha njia za kuzuia, kupiga vita na kuondoa rushwa Barani Afrika, walikubaliana kwa kauli moja na kuiteua Tanzania iwe mwenyeji wa Bodi hiyo ikiwa na makazi mjini Arusha.

Agenda ya pili ilihusu ombi la Tanzania kuanzisha Taasisi ya Kiafrika kuhusu Sheria za Kimataifa (African Institute of Internatinal Law).  Kwa kuzingatia umuhimu wa Taasisi hiyo siyo tu kwa Nchi Wanachama bali pia kwa Kamisheni ya AU, Wakuu wa Nchi na Serikali walikubali kuwa Taasisi hiyo pia ianzishwe mjini Arusha, Tanzania.

Kikao kifuatacho cha 19 kinatarajiwa kufanyika Lilongwe nchini Malawi, mwezi Juni 2012.

Tanzania pioneers Kiswahili teaching at AU

From ASSAH MWAMBENE, in Addis Ababa

The Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hon Bernard K. Membe (MP) yesterday launched the first Kiswahili class at the Language Center of the African Union, where he emphasized the importance of Kiswahili as one of the fastest growing language in the continent.

Speaking at the official lauching ceremony which took place along the margins of the 20th Session of the Executive Council of the African Union (AU), the Minister said Kiswahili has been used as a unifying tool in most of the African countries, Tanzania in particular.

"I will inform my President and my countrymen that Kiswahili has wings, it has now landed in Addis Ababa at the African Union, it is doing wonders," the Minister Noted.  He further noted that apart from the fact that Kiswahili is widely spoken in Africa, it borrows most of its vocaburaries from Arabic and African languages making it one of the most popular language among the Arab and African countries.

The Minister Commended the Tanzanian Embassy in Addis Ababa for initiating the course, saying the initiative will help in popularising the language within and beyond Africa. He thanked H.E. Joram Biswaro, the Ambassador of Tanzania to Ethiopia and AU for striving to kickstart the project without any financial assistance.

The Coordinator of the Programme at the Tanzania Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ms Suma Mwakyusa said the class has a total of 26 students who are AU officials and and members of the Diplomatic Corps. She informed that there will be two classes taught by competent Tanzanian teachers namely Mrs ELizabeth Magoke and Mrs Ikunda Sabath on voluntary basis.

"The teachers understood our initiative, and being nationalists agreed to volunteer to teach," said Ms. Mwakyusa.  She added that the Embassy in collaboration with the African Union Commission intends to organise a three week-trip to Tanzania for the best students to enable them practice the language as spoken by the Swahili natives in the streets of Dar es salaam and Zanzibar.

 The AU Coordinator for Languages, Mr Linus Chata expressed his appreciation for the Tanzania High Level visit to the Language Centre, noting that it signifies the commitment of Tanzania in supporting the programme. He said Kiswahili is the only language which is supported by an African Country- Tanzania, unlike other languages spoken in Africa which are being sponsored by countries outside the African Union.

          Rais Kikwete na kuongeza: “Tunafurahi pia Tanzania ilikaribishwa kushiriki na kutoa mchango katika Kamisheni ya Afrika iliyoangalia fursa za ajira kwa vijana katika Afrika. Changamoto kubwa kwetu sasa ni namna ya kutengeneza ajira za kutosha kwa maelfu ya vijana wanaomaliza shule kila mwaka kutokana na upanuzi mkubwa wa nafasi za elimu katika Tanzania.”

Rais Kikwete alikuwa Kamishna katika Tume hiyo iliyoundwa na aliyekuwa Waziri Mkuu wa Denmark Mheshimiwa Anders Fogh Rasmussen na iliyotoa ripoti yake iitwayo Africa Commission: Realising the Potential of Africa’s Youth mwezi Mei 2009.

Naye Rais Kikwete amemwambia mama huyo: “Nchi zetu zina uhusiano mzuri na wa karibu sana. Watu wetu ni wamoja na tutaendelea kuimarisha uhusiano huo na kushirikiana zaidi. Kama unavyojua, unaweza kuchagua rafiki lakini huwezi kuchagua jirani.”

Katika mazungumzo na Balozi Sibregondi wa Umoja wa Ulaya, Rais Kikwete amezungumzia umuhimu wa jinsi Tanzania na Umoja huo kushirikiana katika kukamilisha ujenzi wa Barabara ya Manyoni-Kigoma ili kuwezesha Tanzania kuunganishwa kwa barabara ya lami na nchi jirani ya Burundi.

“Tunahitaji kuendelea na ujenzi wa miundombinu na hasa ujenzi wa barabara kati ya Manyoni na Kigoma ili kufungua ushoroba wa magharibi mwa Tanzania.”

Rais Kikwete amemhakikishia Balozi Ntambuka wa Burundi kuwa Tanzania itaendelea kufungua ardhi na njia zake kwa ajili ya kupitishia bidhaa za Burundi. “Burundi ni nchi rafiki, ni nchi jirani, uhusiano wetu ni mzuri na tunashirikiana pia kupitia Jumuia ya Afrika Mashariki. Nataka kukuhakikishia kuwa Bandari za Tanzania na ardhi yake vitaendelea kuwa wazi kwa matumizi ya Burundi.”

Naye Balozi Ntambuka ameishukuru Tanzania kwa mchango wake wa kutafuta amani katika Burundi. “Hakuna sababu ya kurudia historia, lakini wenyewe tunajua tulipotoka na tunajua waliotusaidia. Bado wachanga, na ni muhimu Tanzania kuendelea kutulea na kutusaidia.”

Rais Kikwete na Balozi Davutoglu wa Uturuki wamekubaliana kuelekeza nguvu zaidi katika kujenga na kukuza uhusiano wa kibiashara na kiuchumi kati ya nchi hizo mbili. “Uhusiano wetu wa kidiplomasia ni mzuri sana, uhusiano wa kiuchumi na kibiashara ndio unaanza. Tunahitaji kuimarisha uhusiano wa kidiplomasia na kuongeza uhusiano wa kiuchumi,” amesema Rais Kikwete.

Balozi Davutoglu pia ameishukuru Tanzania kwa kutoa ardhi ambako Uturuki itajenga chuo kikuu.
