Tanzania's mixed reaction to Bush visit - 16 Jan 08

[brianobx]

Africa loves bush

[hotello2009]

Tanzanians, say no to NWO ...Asantesana

[Dubconferencedotorg]

there is a big muslim minority in Tanzania -

Zanzibar for example has tons of money.. nothing works - a few areas in tanzania are working nicely - with less money

[washappnin]

It's just sad how ignorant an uneducated these people really are. They really have no clue why they are protesting they were just told to.

[sweetbiella]

creating a naval base there will bring more problem to that poor country, they'll get the U.S enemies against them who wants that? don't forget China, Russia, North Korea aren't your friends China or Russia itself is enough to destroy U.S.

[mahdi0123456789]

you ignorant fool they know why you dont know nothing about bush

[DatsPP]

Radical Muslim propaganda

[Gamahlee]

i really get sick of people burning our flag and trying to associate one man to a whole nation like we agree with every thing he do. osama staged a attack in tanzania but no one protested aganist that,muslims never protest against the real threat which is terrorism,alwayz trying to dodge the shit and the african command has made contrubutions to their countries and many other african nations but i forgot america is evil

[calloutinchains]

BUSH LEGACY === LUST 4 OIL OIL OIL

Good Way, Bad Way, Anyway he can...

I'm sorry, be doesn't really care about you Afrikkans.

How can he when he doesnt even care about his own people of the US?

My buddies coming home from Iraq in bodybags, my other bros with no arms, my other buddy running with one plastic leg, another who cannot even say his name. All 4 OIL. Now sitting in a $2.3 million home. Is there no justice??

[sweetismami28]

I agree i never wanted war

[nothingbutdabest22]

its oil in tazania

[southbobby]

Africa doesn't need a military base anyway.

[craver615]

Thank you Shekh Bassaleh, you have concern for the future of your country and the foresight to realize the global importance of not wanting an American military base in Tanzania. Tanzania is "YOUR COUNTRY" and my country, the USA, would only open up Tanzania to become a target for terrorism and detruction if a base were loctated there. Don't ever allow that to happen. Pray for our troops to come home from all countries, America is not the police force corporations use it for to gain profits.

[minkhs]

But what have US troops to do with terrorism, they do not blow embassies up - that is what terrorists do! Where there any demostrations in Tanzania against the real criminals namely the terrorists?

[sguardian870]

the terrorist were not trying to set a based up in africa.

Also america in your country equals bad news. Look at iraq. No thankyou.

Nigeria said no and so did most of west africa. We dont want ur help the last time u came to help we had slavery and then colonial days (from the eu) .

Even foreign aid is failing africa badly no thank u stay in germany. The its in the same time zone as most african nations.

[washappnin]

Do you even know the history of slavery in Africa??? Here's a tip for you type this into the youtube search:

THE ARAB SLAVE TRADE

or

TRANS ATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE

You know that Christian white europeans were taken into North Africa as slaves to Muslim africans don't you? It started in the late 1400's and went on for over 400 years and left millions dead. Algiers was probably the most well documented and many others on the Barbary Coast. You should read the book CHRISTIAN SLAVES MUSLIM MASTERS

[Kalydosos]

I think your whole argument makes no sense! its just an attempt to absolve yourself of the interest, your thieving ancestors. Having given the likes of you from past conquest, and yes white people did collaborate with Arabs and sold their own too, in some cases for sugar. Even during that bad period white Europeans still retained their cultural identity they don't speak Arabic. Even though only a few words of Arabic entered European languages.

[crackers95]

The war crimes tribunal awaits you Mr bush

[ricci1007]

Is "fighting AIDS" funding "AIDS"? What about malaria and TB?

Is "AIDS" in Africa is a new disease? Or are TB and malaria and poverty just relabelled? Watch "AIDS Inc" video. HIV tests don't detect a virus but malnutrition. Is "Saving lives" is killing people in Africa? The commonest cause of death for US "AIDS" patients is liver failure cased by the meds.

[gunkler1]

We (as Americans want to help) Bush not the best president we have had, but Americans for the most part take pride that we try to help countries that need it. We have overstayed our welcome in Iraq, and we will leave soon, but if someone threatens OUR country, like Afghanistan and the Taliban and COWARD terrorists, WE will be there to defend it. I love my country, as do you, and I welcome all of your comments.

[gunkler1]

PLEASE BE PATIENT AND READ...Some countries should really think twice about the way that they speak of America. America IS NOT George Bush. Hard working Americans pay a large income tax, and a good portion of OUR money goes to developing countries. Continued....Look up.

[hayman4548213]

The vast majority of that aid goes to Israel and other dictatorial regimes around the world.

[gunkler1]

Vast majority? $80,000,000,000 a month to Iraq? What about China? Unfortunately, a lot of our money goes to that COMMUNIST country. Get your facts strait. I feel sorry that we do not do more in Africa. But right now our Government has us tied up so tight in different parts of the world, that our banks are failing. Trust you me, if we were not in Iraq right now, 80 billion would do a lot of good to Africa. (Or even half for that matter.)

[hayman4548213]

In all honesty that money do a lot of good right here in America. No health care and millions of children die from hunger in America. Can you believe that ! In America children die from hunger! sad but true.

[gunkler1]

I am a registered republican... YET my most liberal ideal is probably that NO CHILD SHOULD EVER GO HUNGRY. NONE. EVER. If you are an adult and you are hungry, get a job, or beg, but children should never be hungry. I believe we should abolish Welfare, and set up local gathering places where children can eat, and get warm clothes. Would be much cheaper than welfare, but no one could line their pockets with that Idea so won't happen.

[sguardian870]

And africans are screaming stop throwing money at us and showing us as un able to help ourselves, we want jobs and investments. Not begging and food for the night. If we have investments 80 billion will be a tiny thing.

Its not impossible people like you promoting foriegn aid 2 africa are the ones ruinin us.

The chinese came and brought trade and created jobs. Why cant the west do that. Leave democracy alone and trade.

We wld rather have a dictator with jobs than democracy without jobs.

[mwanamwiwa]

aljeera rulz...kenya loves you

[hotello2009]

Bush is the last need of a country like TZ

[hotello2009]

Bush is part of the Agenda of the ILLUMINATI

(Masonic secret society, such as Skull and bones)

[hotello2009]

Tanzania does not need more problems now.

[TomMikeAvaMilan]

AlJAZEERA is nothing but a international lying propaganda machine. They never write the truth about America. If you believe what they write? I've got some swamp land in Florida to sell you....It come with pet reptiles and a huge in ground pool. Great weather all year round.

[sheptropremix]

fox news is the same bull shit. but everyone needs their news, locally or internationally

[bakataley]

Tom, the reason for your misconception of AlJazeera is because AlJazeera shows the actual human costs and civilian casualties caused by both sides in more details, hence increasingthe chance of resentment against the Americans, whereas the likes of Fox and CNN simply dismiss the American caused civilian casualties as "collateral damage" as to not cause any domestic outrage against the American involvement abroad.

[earlsutton]

some of them people dont no what day are talking about

[savannahblk]

All those african countries lettin bush in should be BOMBED. this no good devil stated when he first stepped in the white house; africa didnt serve the purpose of us policy. basically meanin he didnt give a SHIET bout africa. fu** him and the us govt and their money n aid; AFRICA U DONT NEED IT. TRAIN YOURSELF AND RECEIVE AID FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE. HOW HYPOCRITE CAN U BE; WHEN BLACKS IN THE US ARE TREATED LIKE SECOND CLASS CITIZENS. FUGG BUSH.

[pezzle1097]

dis guy jus str8 to the point

[123drive]

"turned a German Naval Base on Zanzibar in return for aid in the60s." to what are you reffering here?

[hippieJH88]

turned down a German Naval Base, sorry, typo!!!

[hippieJH88]

Our government leaders aren't the greatest, I agree. I didn't vote for this administration and I look forward to its end. However, bases in Africa? What African country would agree to that anyways? Certainly not Tanzania, who's first president turned a German Naval Base on Zanzibar in return for aid in the60s. Tanzanians are proud people and would never agree to that. Be reasonable. There is an Africom, one base, not bases, being constructed in Liberia. It is to train the AU Soldiers there.

[shockblock1]

hippieJH88: Are you Tanzanian ? I'm from Zanzibar, what Germany Naval base u talkin' about. You are so idiot bitch,

60's was the British era, who president you ref. to Abedi Karume or Julius Nyerere. Are you on crack or you just uneducated STUPID MOTHERFUCKER. Keep ur info straight before u submit it.

[hippieJH88]

I am not Tanzanian. The naval base does not exist because it was turned down. I know what era the 60's was. I am referencing Nyerere, just like I stated. I am not on crack. I am not an uneducated stupid mutherfucker. Any more questions???

[sguardian870]

train them for what, its for america and america alone. Africans dont want trouble and america equals that. Liberia is in for a shock if they take that offer.

Seems like they didnt learn their lessons as slaves which is where they descend from.

Liberia better wake up anything america is bad news.

[H20654]

@sguardian870 Fuck you you easily deceived fool

[123drive]

oh dear. bush is on the look out for a new golf course and squaddie playground!

the first world should really stay out of africa, we don't want it being ruined by big cities and yet more crime, there's enough of them/that already!

bush should just go home, step down and go back to pre-school.

[niclangford]

yea, bush hates black people...that's why he's not welcomed, good for tanzania

[purplestoner]

george bush is gay and takes it up the ass

[mpalkstuff529]

he likay inda mouth

[ronpaulordie21]

what is this... oral?

[hippieJH88]

CTTBA- So your google information is proof??? OK, this is when I continue ignoring anything you've said. Bush's administration is not my favorite administration...by any means. But to accuse him of planning 9-11??? And exactly what did he gain for himself in doing that? 1% more vote than Kerry??? Also...Bush is not intelligent enough to plot such an attack, your actually complementing his intelligence..don't do that please.

[123drive]

bush is just a puppet. a face to take the public flack. and bush WAS intelligent, he could debate like a mofo! but something has happened to him, some say it's cenile demensia!?

but the 9/11 "attacks" were DEFINATLEY a set up in some way or another. the evidence is brutally clear.

[hippieJH88]

can you please tell me where that evidence comes from, that "clear" evidence about 9/11!

[123drive]

if you can't see it yourself then there is no point me explaining it to you. why don't you reply again when you yourself can see.

[hippieJH88]

You cannot make accusations without proof. Also, I don't need explanations, you have already explained your ignorance to me. Basically you have heard a rumor, so far-fetched & somehow you believe it. How about this, YOU don't reply back to me, until YOU have substantial evidence!!!

[123drive]

it's not a rumor it's what i believe to be the truth based on the evidence that i've seen and witnessed. i have all the evidence i need.

you just don't agree with me. our opinions differ.

i just tried to get you to see it from another point of view. life is more than three dimensional.

[hippieJH88]

And why does everything done by the U.S. looked at as selfish...saying we only propose stuff like this Africa aide plan for our own profit??? What major problem in history has America caused in Africa??? Wasn't it Europe who essentially caused most of the issues on the beautiful African continent? We may not have helped much, but we aren't the root of most of the problems in Africa...So why can't we help???

[123drive]

where do americans come from again? how did they get there? c'mon you must be able to follow your family tree.

Help and america aren't usually words that are associated with one another, ask anyone who is not american, you'll see mixed results but the majority would agree imo.

[hippieJH88]

I know my own history, thanks. I don't need a history lesson about my ancestors from someone unrelated to me. My point is, not everything we do is bad. We are not trying to take over the world or Africa. We offered aid, that is it. We are not sending troops or building bases all over the continent as the accusations are saying. If my government did start building bases I would not support it along with the majority of American citizens.

[123drive]

i'm not saying all you do is bad, not at all.

most people think this way, not because of the american people themselves but the politicians and "front-men" of america.

you yourself might not be trying to take over the world, but how can you speak for your countries government? do you know what they want or are even up to?

aid in the form of military bases? that wouldn't AID any african!

i'm just not going to say anything about that last sentence...

[hippieJH88]

And if that goes through, and Liberia agrees to that, then it is their decision. African Nations can make their own decisions and America will not invade if Liberia says no. It is not that serious.

[123drive]

yeah i know, media hype and all.

ah well best get prepared for the future.

[hippieJH88]

what???

[hippieJH88]

We have too much in our country so can we not give a little without being attacked by ignorance??? Anyways, don't listen to everything you read on google because anyone can put anything on the web...including bull shit...and listen to both sides of every story, it helps for the full understanding of the issues. Not everything us "stupid" Americans do is bad.

[Mbeziman]

ahhh mate im an Tanzanian American but my concern is not Bush. If hes killed many people good for him, i dont see you get off your ass to stop him. My concern is the welfare of Tanzania and it's people. As far as i can see Tanzania has nothing to offer america, America can only be helping not hurting tanzania.

[zombazezu]

@Mbeziman boooship, we dnt nd anything frm bush, wr poor bt life goes on, wr happy 2, with our life, if ur wealth stay with ur money, we dnt nd any thing fm u.

[hippieJH88]

CTTBA...google??? Seriously, you rely on google for your information??? WOW!!!

[hippieJH88]

actually...only 11 people died in the U.S. ebassy bombing in Dar where Tanzanians and Americans died.

[IfruitmanI]

/watch?v=zpzjQ-uil6U

[Mbeziman]

These Al Jazeerah can't be trust. Hundreds of people did not die in the al jazeera bombing of the US embassy in Dar!! Less than 90 people did. The crowd that met bush welcomed him greatly. Al Jazeera maybe you can do your reseaerch. the "tanzanian" reporter can not even pronounce her own name right!

[shockblock1]

Mbeziman don't make stupid jokes about Ndege, can you spell RESEARCH? your comment has no sense at all, what AlJazeera has to do in Dar bombing. Next time andika kiswahili ili tukuelewe. Who are Aljazeerah you don't trust.

AlJazeera is a TV channel not people, stupid.

[Mbeziman]

ait man shes obviously lived in britain longer than ive lived in TZ, all my life. not al jazeerah mate but al quaida. theres more proof of them jazeera supportin al quaida then there is of bush as a murderer.

[CTTBA]

Killing runs in his family. Funny the Africans know what's going on, aren't they supposed to be more 'uneducated' than Americans? Killing apparently runs in the family, Google 'Bertha Champagne', Google Marvin Bush and note his ties to 9/11. An inside job. They were counting on Americans to be fucking stupid and they were right. And they have taken Americans rights away while America sleeps. Google 'e-passport', Google 'Real-ID', the Patriot Act is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Both houses passed it.

[Mbeziman]

dumbass! you... not Bush

[CTTBA]

Can't handle the truth, can you Mbeziman? Don't know how to use Google? Enter 'Bertha Champagne' and read about her murder in Marvin's front yard. Doesn't bother you? It should. It means there's no free press in the U.S. Don't know how to Google "e-passport" or do chips not bother you? Then you should ram a couple million up your ass.

[Mbeziman]

ya dawg i did that but theres no straight proof of his family and murders. accusations dont make it true. and i kno wat a e-passport is cos i have one. anyway theres so much corruption in politics all around the world that everyone in there cant be trusted 100%.

[CTTBA]

You're too fucking stupid to realize what proof is. You can't understand there's no free press in the U.S. Everyone knows about Laci Peterson, but no one has heard of Marvin Bush murdering his housekeeper in his front yard? Fuck you. That's not an 'accusation' as you call it, you can read about it in the Washington Post. People on death row are killed with 'less proof'. Glad you have an e-passport so they can follow your fucked stupid dumb ass all over the world.

[kilimanjaroICE]

OOh just for addition point,,The Protest Organisor Needs Some Teeth. I wish we ddn't have no feckin religions in this world, coz I blv that religions( I mean all religions in the world) have been the cause of wars and trouble in the world. Remember Belfast, Sunni Vs Shiite(Iraq Vs Iran) war, "Falkrand" war, Kossovo Albanians(Muslim) Vs Serbs(Orthodox) and the worst of them all Missionaries to Africa,,remember them???

[kilimanjaroICE]

Apart from All the bad foreign policies from USA,UK n Other G8 at the end of the day Tanzanians are worst enemy of themselves.If protestors really love Tazania why didn't protest against Ballali stealing our money, our really money. Why aren't they protesting against Lowassa the THIEF for stealing lots of normal TZ tax payers money, WHY?. Protestors are all brain washed and am sure some of those women were forced to come out like other muslim women that have no voice in their community.

[shockblock1]

Sikonge and RodneyGhee, I didn't run from Tanzania. All my bussines' are still in TZ. I spent only 3 months a year in the US, since 1979. you misundestood me, even if I am an American citizen, I would like to see other countries investing in TZ rather than US. My foul language came from anger. America is a blood-sucker. We are the most peacefully people in the whole world. USA will bring chaos in the country. Do u think Bush visit is for Malaria and AIDS.. HELL NO. Amkeni ndugu zangu.

[rodneyghee]

sisi kenya niwakristo na hatupendi bush hata kidogo ndio sababu haezi kuja kenya,bush ni sheitani na UK pia ni washeitani kama hao,washenzi sana,america sindio nchi yama shoga ausio.

[shockblock1]

Well done for the truth. Yote uliyosema ni ya ukweli, Kenya ni nchi yangu pia. Nimesoma Kenya, nina ndugu Kenya. What happens in Tanzania will end in Kenya and Uganda (East Africa)

[akili71]

Al Ustadhi English imekubali kwa kweli lakini dento!! Duh!!

[shockblock1]

I'm American-Tanzanian. Bantus are peacefully, lazy, easy to surrender mothefuckers from the ARABS, GERMANS and the BRITISH EMPIRE. Without foreign assistance Tanzania will remain a piece of shit, forever. Arabs built it and enslaved blacks, Germany built railways and kill, British educated people and destroyed the country by allowed motherfucker Julius Nyerere (rotten in pieces) fucked the country up. It's time for USA to get that piece of Bantu's ass. Wake up Bongo man.

[rodneyghee]

they woke up you wake up shockblock1 your an idiot your mama sucking bush's cock am sure of it your a sell out ,your sold out muthfuker just becoz you live there does n't change the fact that bush is not the stupidest person on earth just like you.britain,germany now the us want to use tanzania.

[shockblock1]

You misunderstood me, kiswahili mimi niko na wewe sio Bush au USA

[SIKONGE]

ANd you American-Tanzanian what did you do? Run to Tanzania or to USA? It seem you are big NATO (No Action, Talking Only).

[MrsStephanieSnape]

ThaM1lHu stole this video, please report her. She has also stolen 100+ other videos

[piusmicky]

No one is protesting when Black Islam community re killed by Arab islam in Darful and you ll keep quiet and that is Islam against Islam community, Bush to me is a Hero for what he cames to do!! Since our friendship with Americans we gain a lot than loosing!!

Welcome Bush!!

[rodneyghee]

how the hell will someone support bush are you blind look at iraq,afganistan,pakistan they are the ones who put musharaf on power,look at africa becoz of britain and us with their foreign policies and aid which had strings attached has caused africans so many problems today that and also with stupid leaders like kibaki.

[aaroneu07]

well, we have different opinions. we adress issues in different ways. we have our interest. i have mine and with Bush as a president, my interest and Those of my country are well protected.

[Msbea123]

lol aaroneu07,

[piusmicky]

There is no problem between Bush and Islams, the problem is between Bush and those who use Islam Umbrella to do those which Bush called un humanitarian like what Sadam Did to Kurdish people, and all who are blaming Bush are Islamic fundamentalist who neither they do think that this world is made for them only or think that they are better than the rest.

Why American Islamic Community r not complaining? why Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Islamic states like Malaysia and the rest are quiet why?

[bidaar]

bush came to tz to create trouble agianst muslims

[katrobella]

LOOOOOOOOl Well he has touched down on Dar es Salam and i can assure y'all the welcome was very friendly yeah Our presidrent asked those protestants to seize their protests and well i hope we dont have a military base but hmn

[kilimanjaroICE]

Am Tanzanian living in Ireland and I have been following both Tanzanian Politics and US intensively for the past year or so. Now, Listern people,, Arabs came to Tanzania(Tanganyika) and guess what they did! Tortured our ancestors + if didn't kill them they sold them as SLAVES. Germans and British came to take our raw materials and divide us(tribal and religion wise).

So who is better for TZ?America that has supported United Arab Emirates economies or Arabs who killed us?Aljazeera are so biased

[aaroneu07]

waislam mmezidisha munkari. Yote ya nini hayo? kuweni watulivu na kuwaza na kutafaari kabla ya kufanya lolote. mnailete nchi aibu! kila nchi ina maslahi yake. marekani ina yake na tanzania ina yake. Nyinyi pia mnayo yenu. Hivyo, jifunzeni kueshimu hisia za wengine!

[shockblock1]

you pussy

[kuringe]

I love Africa, i love tanzania I hate when few people take advantage of the mob becouse we have democracy. coming to bush to tanzania there is more to gain than to lose.Everything has got negative and positive effect.if few people spread some news bush is coming to get some land for army base why not he has done so in other powerful nations in the first world like australi and all i see is they just coperation btn them.try to get the people logic from those oppose war on terror they are isla

[ammywolf]

How fun lets hear what BBC says :

"The US president and First Lady were welcomed by thousands of people lining the road, which was decorated with banners saying "we cherish democracy" and "thank you for helping fight malaria and HIV".

But there have also been protests in the country by Muslims opposed to the so-called US "war on terror"."

Ok I better just stop now, I'm only upsetitng myself XD.

[ammywolf]

I hate the letter limit on youtube...anyway I'm as an American it's always good to see how people really feel about our foreign policy. It's really shocking when I come across stuff like this since it's seriously hardly mentioned in our media. Heh it's nice to see this so I know what I'm getting myself into when I go abroad too.

[ammywolf]

I could only find one article on Bush's tour on CNN;

"Bush is scheduled to head to Africa on Friday for a visit that will bring him to one of the few parts of the globe where people still have a favorable view of America. A recent Pew poll of 47 nations found that America's popularity is exceptionally high in Africa, where some hold the U.S. in higher regard than Americans do themselves."

There's no hint of discontent anywhere in the article. I'm glad you're there to show the other side.

[LouisianaGatorGirl]

These people in Tanzania are smart! They know who the REAL terrorist is!

[eskdi]

You're not wrong there GatorGirl..

[emsudan]

aljazeera always on U.S dicks fuck Aljazeera

[mothernation]

Emsudan, ithink you are not well informed, what do you have against Aljazeera? as far as am concerned aljajeera is my best chanel it is enlightening.Cnn, bbc , ktn kenya,Ntv they can go to hell they only tell us what we want to hear but not the the truth.

[Deztitute]

No matter where you go, it is a negligible minority that doesn't hate Bush. That's says something positive about the world's general awareness of global issues (and sadly the US gov't is a matter of global importance/crisis), but something very sad about the political state of the United States, both internally and externally.

[JAZIBZAH]

Me thinks the US is worried about China's increasing influence in Africa and is trying to gain a more secure foothold through military, loans and investment.
