Relief food to Somalia to be shipped soon, says minister

About 3000 tonnes of relief food to hunger-stricken Horn of Africa will be dispatched on the designated place as soon as the South African ship under SADC flag docks at the Dar es Salaam Harbour.

Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister Bernard Membe told the National Assembly in Dodoma yesterday that the vessel would deliver all consignments of relief food pledged by the members of the SOuthern African Development Cooperation.

"The ship is expected in Dar es Salaam anytime now," said the minister, attributing the delay in shipment to, insecurity off the Somalia Coast in the Indian Ocean.

He ruled out any further delay as security situation in the region had improved tremendeously of late.  He added that the government also pledged 200,000 US Dollars to the war and hunger ravaged Somalia.

The minister was reacting to Chambani Member of Parliament (CUF) Salim Hemed Khamis who had sought to know how the government was living up to the Africa Union's slogan "One Africa One Vote Against Hunger" adopted last year, requiring African countries to come to the rescue of the troubled region.

The AU had observed that food insecurity remained at emergency levels across parts of the Horn of Africa, with famine declared in two regions of Southern Somalia and humanitarian organizations struggled to cope with the influx of Somalia refugees in Ethiopia and Kenya.

Mr. Membe said the AU members during their special meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia last August pledged 350m US Dollars for the cause.

He however, observed that as of February of this year, it emerged that some 1 bn US Dollars was needed to address the situation.

Quoting United Nations statistics, the minister said the disaster affected more than 12 million people, and deaths associated with famine reached an average of six people (five children and one adult) daily last year.

“H. E. Abdelaziz Bouteflika 

President of the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria

ALGIERS

Your Excellency and Dear Brother,

I am deeply saddened by the sad news of the untimely death of the founding Father of your great Nation that took place on 11^th April, 2012.

On behalf of the Government and People of the United Republic of Tanzania, and indeed on my own behalf, I wish to convey our deepest sympathies and condolences to Your Excellency and, through you, to the bereaved family and relatives as well as the Government and the entire brotherly People of Algeria for this untimely death.

Tanzania will always remember the late Ahmed Ben Bella for the important role he played in cementing the relations between our two countries that so happily exists to-date.

 He will also be remembered as a truly son of Africa who stood for unity and dignity of the African people. Africa has indeed lost one of the charismatic and revolutionary leaders who dedicated his life not only for the struggle for the independence of Algeria but also for the other African countries that were still suffering under colonialism.  He also contributed positively to the peace and stability of Africa in his capacity as the Chairperson of the Panel of the Wise of the African Union. 

At this difficult moment of agony and distress, we share your grief and pray to the Almighty God to give the bereaved family, relatives and all the people of Algeria strength and courage to endure the agony resulting from this great loss.  May the Almighty God rest the soul of the deceased in eternal peace. 

Please accept, Your Excellency and Dear Brother, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete

President of the United Republic of Tanzania”

Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, Mheshimiwa Dkt. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete amemtumia Salamu za Rambirambi Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Kimataifa, Mheshimiwa Bernard Membe kufuatia taarifa za kifo cha Balozi Raphael Haji Lukindo kilichotokea tarehe 27 Machi, 2012 katika Hospitali ya Saisee iliyopo Mumbai nchini India alikokuwa amelazwa kwa matibabu.

Enzi za uhai wake, Balozi Lukindo alikuwa Mtumishi wa Umma aliyelitumikia Taifa letu katika nyadhifa mbalimbali kuanzia wadhifa wa Bwana Shauri yaani District Officer, na kwa muda mrefu amekuwa katika Balozi mbalimbali akiiwakilisha nchi yetu ambapo mara ya mwisho alikuwa Balozi wa Tanzania nchini Japan kuanzia mwaka 1983 hadi 1988.

“Nimesikitishwa na kuhuzunishwa na kifo cha Balozi Raphael Haji Lukindo ambaye kwa hakika alikuwa Mtumishi wa Umma muadilifu na mchapakazi hodari tangu alipokuwa Bwana Shauri kati ya mwaka 1961 hadi 1962, alipokuwa Afisa katika Balozi zetu za Uingereza na Ujerumani, na hata alipoteuliwa kuwa Balozi akiiwakilisha nchi yetu katika nchi za uliokuwa Muungano wa nchi za Kisovieti za Urusi (USSR), Uingereza, Italia na hatimaye Balozi wa Tanzania nchini Japan kabla ya kustaafu”, amesema Rais Kikwete katika salamu zake.

Rais Kikwete amesema kutokana na utumishi wake uliotukuka, Taifa limempoteza mtu muhimu ambaye, pamoja na kwamba alikuwa amekwisha kustaafu, lakini ushauri wake ulikuwa bado unahitajika sana hasa katika masuala ya kidiplomasia.  Kutokana na msiba huo, Rais Kikwete ametoa pole nyingi kwa familia ya Marehemu Balozi Lukindo kwa kupoteza kiongozi muhimu wa familia.

Amesema anamuomba Mwenyezi Mungu, Mwingi wa Rehema ailaze mahala pema peponi roho ya Marehemu Balozi Lukindo na awape moyo wa uvumilivu na ujasiri wanafamilia, ndugu na jamaa wa Marehemu katika kipindi chote cha maombolezo.  Aidha Rais Kikwete amewahakikishia kuwa yupo pamoja nao katika kuomboleza msiba huu mkubwa kwa kutambua kuwa yote ni mapenzi yake Mola.

Mwisho.
