(AJABU AFRICAN NEWS, JAN, 26, 2018) LOWELL, Mass.__ Professor PLO Lumumba, a popular Kenyan lawyer, who shot to even more limelight recently when he animated proceedings at Kenya Supreme court while defending the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)---during the reelection battle between president Uhuru Kenyatta of the Jubilee coalition and Raila Odinga of the Opposition's NASA coalition---is set to arrive in Boston this week where he will receive an award for his works that have caused ripples in many corners of the African continent.
Na Seif Sharif Hamad Mwaka 1984, Rais wa Zanzibar, Mwenyekiti wa Baraza la Mapinduzi, na Makamo wa Pili wa Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania, Aboud Jumbe Mwinyi, alilazimishwa kujiuzulu katika Mkutano Mkuu wa CCM Dodoma akishutumiwa kutaka kuvunja Muungano. Kitendo hiki kimekuwa kikichukuliwa na Wazanzibari kama udhalilishaji mkubwa kwa nchi na heshima yao, na msimamo wa serikali tatu, ambao Jumbe anasemekana kuutetea umekuwa ndio msimamo wa Wazanzibari. Kujiuzulu kwa Jumbe kunaunganishwa na tafauti za kimtazamo baina yake na Katibu Mkuu wa sasa wa CUF, Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad, ambaye hata hivyo anasisitiza katika makala hii kwamba hajawahi kutafautiana na Jumbe kuhusu mtazamo wa Muungano.
