Norway honors victims of terrorist attacks



Independent commission to review and assess country's security measures after period of national grieving.

Norway to evaluate police response

Jens Stoltenberg, the Norwegian prime minister, has said that an independent commission will be set up to review the response to the recent gun-and-bomb attack that killed at least 76 people. "It's important to clarify all aspects of the attacks to learn lessons from what has occurred," Stoltenberg told a news conference on Wednesday. "This is a national tragedy, an attack on the nation."

Stoltenberg had earlier said that the police reponse and security measures would be reviewed after a mourning period for the victims of the attacks. "(Police) organisation and capacity will be part of an evaluation," he said.

He said he welcomed a debate on security and that he believed the attacks of Friday, July 22, would lead to an increased interest in political activity among Norwegians. "I believe the result of this will be more participation, more political activity," he said.

Breivik has confessed to carrying out both the shooting and the bombing of the government headquarters. Investigators say, however, that because Brievik "probably" had no accomplices, he was "in full control" of the investigation, as the police "don't have any sources".

Police failure
Norway's police and security services have come under fire over the time it took officers to reach the island scene of a gun rampage that killed 68 youths on Friday, hours after a downtown bombing of government offices claimed eight lives. Experts have said the car bomb acted as a decoy, but that the government was insufficiently prepared for the gun attack perpetrated by Breivik. 

International experts said in coming months Norway must re-examine a system premised on the assumption that the country does not face a credible risk of terrorist attack, much less a back-to-back bombing and gun rampage.

Fernando Reinares, former senior anti-terrorism adviser to the Spanish government, said Norway has just suffered "an astonishing failure in police intelligence”. 

He said Breivik should have been identified by a competent anti-terrorist agency because of his purchases of bomb-making ingredients and specialist weaponry. "Norway is behind other Western European countries in adapting internal security structures and procedures to face terrorist challenges," he said.

"But there was also an amazing failure in police preparedness and reaction, both in terms of human resources and technical capabilities."

Frank Cilluffo, director of the Homeland Security Policy Institute at George Washington University, said Norway has just been victimised by the common experience of all countries caught off guard by terror. 

"Their planners suffered a major failure of imagination, to foresee that the adversary could go that far," he said. 

"But this is exactly what every counter-terror policy must do to be effective: to plan and train for worst-case scenarios. Because if you haven't done that before the bomb goes off or the shooting starts, then you're just improvising, and that just increases the dangers."

No helicopter

In Norway's case, the Delta Force squad - whose formal Norwegian name of "Beredskapstroppen" means "emergency unit" - is equipped only to travel to crises on Norway's largely two-lane road network. It took about a half-hour to cover the roughly 40-kilometre journey. Police spokesman Sturla Henriksbo said Norway - which is some 1,750 kilometres long with around 50,000 islands alone - has only one police helicopter, based at an airport north of Oslo. And that helicopter has only four seats: two for the pilots, one for an equipment manager.

"That helicopter is never assigned for the transportation of anyone, never mind Delta Force," he said.

Finn Abrahamsen, a former Oslo policeman who directed the force's violent crimes unit, said Norway could have used that helicopter as a rapid-response platform for a police sniper.

On Friday, however, the police's helicopter pilots were all away on summer leave.

Delta Force could have used an army helicopter, but decided it would take too long to scramble one from the nearest base in Rygge, some 60 kilometres to the south. So they drove, then waited for the tiny local police department to scramble its lone boat, a small rigid inflatable craft. All the while, shooting and screams could be heard from Utoeya Island, only 600 metres away.

'Overloaded vessel'
Within seconds of scrambling on board, officers found themselves having to bail out the overloaded vessel. Then the engine became waterlogged and died.

"Too many policeman wanted to go too quickly to the island," explained Kgell Tvenge, commander of the police base in the nearby town of Honefoss where the boat is docked. "But the boat didn't sink. They got a new boat from a tourist," he said.

Police say within 5 minutes of their reaching the island, Breivik was disarmed and in custody. The killer wrote beforehand that he always planned to surrender as soon as police arrived, so that he could publicise his extreme nationalist and anti-Muslim views in court and inspire copycat attacks elsewhere. 

Andenas, the law professor, said he would have expected Norway's special forces to have trained to reach a nearby popular retreat like Utoeya within 15 minutes, not an hour.

"Many people feel this was a very difficult situation, that one should take account of that and not too be too critical of people who certainly tried to do their best," Andenas said. 

"But it was just not good enough. The police action was too little and too slow," he said. "The cold truth is that many children who died out there should not have died."

Wizi wa kupulizia dawa za kulevya kwenye vipeperushi jijini Dar es Salaam

Imewekwa hapa kama ilivyotumwa

Kuna jamaa yangu kama wiki mbili zilizopita, alikuwa anatoka kupata moja mbili kutoka baa moja inayojulikana kama Blackpoint iliyopo mjini kati muda wa saa moja hivi jioni, akaja kijana mmoja alionekana anashida sana ya kutaka kusaidiwa nauli, rafiki yangu akawa msamalia mwema akachomoa noti ya 1000 na kumpatia kijana, rafiki yangu alipokosea ni kumuuliza kijana kwani unaelekea mitaa ya wapi?

Kijana akasema anaelekea kimara, jamaa akasema basi twende nitakuacha manzese maana mimi naelekea Sinza, My friend says the guy dressed very smart and he was looking as a graduate who is for that day alikwama kweli nauli, and you cant even think if he is a criminal.

They started a journey from Posta via Jangwani, alipofika jangwani anasema aliaanza kujisikia kizunguzungu na kichefuchefu na kulikuwa na foleni kali sana . Akaamua alipofika magomeni achepuke kushoto ili apate pumzi kidogo nje, then he did not remember what went on until he found himself hospitali muhimbili akiwa hajitambui na wala hajui gari yake ipo wapi (he was driving a MarkX), na yeye mwenyewe akiwa bado na mawenge.

Jamani zikumbukeni namba za wenzi wenu kichwani, usiku huo mnamo saa saba za usiku alipopata fahamu vizuri alikumbuka namba ya mke wake, akampigia na akaja hapo hospitali. Gari yake iliyokuwa na vitu vyake kama Laptop, bank cards, simu etc havijaonekana mpaka tunavyoongea leo.

Madaktari wanasema, alivuta sumu, sasa swali ni je kwa nini Yule kijana hakudhurika na hiyo sumu hiyo kwa kuwa walikuwa naye mpaka magomeni alipoanza kujisikia vibaya? Au ni wimbi la vijana ambao wanakuwa wanakufuatilia na mmoja wao anajitoa muhanga wa kuvuta sumu hiyo na wengine wanakuwa wanakufuatilia kwa nyuma, na wakishakukamata wanakutupa na kumuokoa mwenzao, which I think it is possible.

Jamani kuweni makini kwa kila unachokubali kukifanya. Maisha ni magumu na wezi wanakuja na kila aina ya mbinu za kuwaibia watu. Na kwa jinisi nilivyodadisi hawa wezi wanakuwa wanakujua unaishi maeneo yapi, kwa maana jibu la kijana huyo la kutaja direction anayoelekea huyo jamaa yangu is something to doubt.

My Friend is fine kiafya but lost important documents including a car WIZI WA KUPULIZIA DAWA ZA KULEVYA KWENYE VIPEPERUSHI JIJINI DAR ES SALAAM

Tree used by 'Babu of Loliondo' is nothing new - TAFORI

Carissa Edulis

 Carissa Edulis

A TREE used by the retired pastor Ambilikile Masapila of Samunge, Loliondo, to cure different chronic diseases is available almost in all floristic regions in the country since 1925, a research by the Tanzania Forestry Research Institute (TAFORI) has revealed. 

The Loliondo Ex-pastor, Mr Masapila, announced last year that he had discovered a magical herb capable of treating chronic diseases including HIV, diabetes and cancer. 

The TAFORI Research Assistant, Mr Francis Lwasai, on Sunday said in Dar es Salaam that the tree had been used by different tribes to cure venereal diseases, saying it had been identified by different names. 

''The records in Lushoto Herbarium shows a number of collection of the tree from almost all floristic regions in Tanzania since1925,'' he said. 

Mr Lwasai noted that in 1994 the Lushoto Herbarium Centre conducted a research on the tree which indicated the healing capability of different chronic diseases and that the tree was already in use since 1925. 

He said the tree identified as Carissa Adulis or Carissa Spinarum had been confused with Acocanthera Shimpera which is poisonous, adding that the tree had been used to cure diseases in Asia. 

Mr Lwasai refuted claims that usage of the tree at Samunge could cause environment pollution as only 70 per cent of roots were used by Mr Masapila to produce 60 litres of the medicine and that remained 30 per cent of the roots help the tree to grow. 

However, he advised authorities in Samunge to encourage planting of trees as there was increased demand of fuel wood which would result in environment degradation due to soil erosion.

Ndege ya kivita aina ya Sukhoi 
Su-30MK2 ya jeshi la anga la Uganda

Hii iliruka mara ya kwanza kwenye uwanja wa ndege wa Entebbe, 13 Julai 2010.

Uganda wamenunua ndege sita za kivita za aina ya Sukhoi Su-30MK2. Uganda ni moja ya jeshi la anga lenye ndege za kisasa barani Afrika. Ni tishio kwa nchi za Afrika Mashariki, kwani Kenya na Tanzania zina ndege za kivita zilizobuniwa miaka 50 iliyopita.

Sukhoi SU-30, inajulikana kama Flanker kwa nchi za NATO, ziko modeli mbali mbali. Iliingia kwenye jeshi la anga la Urusi mwaka 1996. Ina kasi ya Mach 2.0 (2,120 km/h, 1,320 mph) na ni ya kisasa au kwa msemo mwingine ni “4.5 Generation of Fighter Jets”. Flanker inafananishwa na Eurofighter Typhoon na F-15E Strike Eagle ya Marekani.

The political economy of the investment climate in Tanzania.

Hakuna maendeleo Tanzania licha ya wawekezaji kuwekeza kwa wingi

Ripoti hiyo imeandikwa na Brian Cooksey og Tim Kelsall

Summary:

Although Tanzania suffers from an imperfect form of liberal democracy and high levels of corruption, it has attracted unprecedented levels of foreign investment over the past fifteen years, and is predicted by the IMF to be one of the fastest growing countries in the world over the next decade. This provides some grounds for thinking that Tanzania represents a case of ‘developmental patrimonialism’, a type of regime that achieves development without conforming to ‘good governance’ orthodoxy.

This Research Report rejects that idea. Drawing links between the management of economic rents and the climate for business and investment, it shows that rent-management in Tanzania remains largely decentralized and undisciplined, with deleterious consequences for investors. In previously fast-growing sectors like mining, investors are increasingly circumspect, while high potential areas like horticulture appear largely ignored. The result is that recent increases in economic growth – which have yet to have a discernible impact on poverty reduction – are likely to be ephemeral. Tanzania, we conclude, is a case of ‘non-developmental patrimonialism’, and its regime is likely to face a mounting legitimacy crisis in coming years.
