MJI WA KISMAYO WAKARIBIA KUTEKWA

Wanajeshi wa Kenya wakipambana na Al-Shabaab

Msemaji wa jeshi la Kenya Meja Emmanuel Chirchir anasema kuwa wanakaribia kuuteka mji wa bandarini wa Kismayo.

Meja Chirchir amekariri kuwa wapiganaji wa Kenya wanaopigania kundi la Al Shabaab ikiwa wataweza kujisalimisha watasamehewa

Kumekuwa na ripoti kuwa wapiganaji wa al-Shabaab wamenza kuutoroka mji huo katika siku chache zilizopita baada ya kuzingirwa na majeshi ya muungano wa Afrika kutoka pande zote

Mji huo ndio ngome ya mwisho ya Al-Shabaab, ambayo huitumia kwa kuingza silaha na zana za kivita kutoka nchi za kigeni.

Muungano wa Afrika unasema kuwa wanajeshi wa Somalia wameuteka mji wa Janaa Cabdlla ngome nyingine ya wapiganaji hao iliyo umbali wa kilomita hamsini Magharibi mwa Kismayo.

MAKABURI YA TANA RIVER YAFUKULIWA

Polisi wakilinda makaburi hayo ya siri

Polisi na wataalamu wa kuchunguza maiti wamepigwa na mshangao mkubwa baada ya kukosa kupata chochote ndani ya makaburi ya siri yaliyogunduliwa katika eneo la Tana River.

Polisi walipewa amri ya kufukua makaburi hayo hii leo katika kijiji cha Ozhi ambako mapigano kati ya jamii za Orma na Pokomo yalisababisha vifo vya zaidi ya watu miamoja na kuwaacha maelfu bila makao.

Kwa mujibu wa naibu kamishna wa polisi eneo la Tana River, Anthony Kamitu, makaburi hayo yalikuwa na mitaro minne ishara kuwa watu walikuwa wamezikwa kwenye makaburi hayo.

Ingawa bwana Kamitu alisema kuwa hawakupata miili yoyote licha ya kuwa kulikuwepo na harufu mbaya ishara kwamba maiti waliokuwa ndani ya makaburi hayo waliondolewa.

Bwana Kamitu anasema kuna hofu kuwa wahalifu kutoka jamii ya Pokomo waliitoa hiyo miili kwenye makaburi hayo huku polisi wakisubiri kibali cha mahakama ili kuweza kuyafukua.

Polisi wamefahamisha BBC kuwa makaburi hayo yalikuwa tu na mguu mmoja wa kushoto wa mtu na wanashuku kuwa maiti waliokuwa ndani ya makaburi hayo waliondolewa na kupelekwa kwingineko.

Zaidi ya watu miamoja wamefariki katika mapigano kati ya jamii hizi mbili ambayo yamekuwa yakiendelea kwa muda wa mwezi mmoja ulipita.

Makabiliano kati ya jamii hizo mbili yalianza katikati ya mwezi jana na kusababisha mashambulizi ya kuvizia na ya kulipiza kisasi.

Makabiliano ya polisi na wachimba migodi

Wachimba migodi wakikabiliana na polisi

Polisi nchini Afrika Kusini wametumia risasi za mipira na gesi ya kutoa machozi kuwatawanya waandamanaji waliokuwa wanagoma karibu na mgodi mmoja unaomilikiwa na kampuni ya Anglo American.

Makabiliano hayo yametokea siku moja baada ya mkataba kuafikiwa kati ya wachimba migodi wa Marikana na wamiliki wa kampuni ya Lonmin.

"hatutaruhusu mikutano yoyote haramu kufanyika'' alisema msemaji mmoja wa polisi.

Wafanyakazi wa kampuni ya Lonmin walisitisha mgomo wao wa wiki sita siku ya Jumanne baada ya kukubali nyongeza ya asilimia 22 ya mishahara.

Migomo hiyo ilisambaa hadi katika migodi mingine nchini humo. Afrika Kusini ni mojawapo ya nchi zinazozalisha madini mengi duniani.

Mnamo siku ya Jumatatu rais Jacob Zuma alisema kuwa migomo katika sekta ya madini ililetea nchi hiyo hasara ya zaidi ya dola nusu milioni.

Migomo ilianza nchini humo baada ya kampuni ya madini ya Anglo American Platinum (amplats),kampuni kubwa zaidi ya madini ya Platinum duniani kufungua kiwanda chake baada ya kufungwa wiki jana kufuatia migomo hiyo.

Msemaji wa kampuni ya Amplats, Mpumi Sithole alisema kuwa migodi ya Rustenburg,ambacho ni kitovu cha uchimbaji migodi nchini humo, Kaskazini Mashariki mwa Johannesburg uliendelea na kazi kama kawaida.

ZIMBABWE INAMSAKA MSHUKIWA WA RWANDA

Dalili za mauaji ya kimbari Rwanda

 Polisi nchini Zimbabwe, wanasema kuwa wameanzisha msako mkali wa afisaa mmoja mkuu wa zamani nchini Rwanda ambaye anatuhumiwa kwa kuhusika na mauaji ya Kimbari mwaka 1994 nchini Rwanda.

Protais Mpiranya alikuwa kamanda wa ulinzi wa rais mwaka huo na anatuhumiwa kwa kuhusika pakubwa na mauaji ya watutsi 800,000 pamoja na wahutu wenye msimamo wa kadri.

Zimbabwe imekuwa ikishutumiwa kwa kumpa hifadhi afisaa huyo wa zamani.

Makama maalum kuhusu mauaji wa kimbari nchini Rwanda imeahidi kumkabidhi zawadi ya dola milioni tano yeyote mwenye taarifa kumhusu Protais.

"Tunamtaka. Awe hai au akiwa amekufa. Tunatafuta taarifa kumhusu ili tumkamate.Hatufahamu mda ambao amekuwa akiishi hapa nchini'' alisema afisaa mkuu wa polisi Zimbabwe Peter Magwenzi.

Mwaka jana afisaa mmoja wa nchi hiyo alikana kuwa Zimbabwe inamhifadhi Protais.

WAASI WATAWALA KINGUVU KONGO DRC

Waasi wa M23

Mkuu wa harakati za kudumisha amani wa Umoja wa mataifa Herve Ladsous ameliambia baraza la usalama la Umoja huo kwamba waasi wameidhinisha kile anachokiita kuwa ni utawala wa kimabavu Mashariki mwa Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasi ya Congo.

Bwana Ladsous amesema waasi wa M23 wanadhibiti idadi kubwa ya maeneo ya Mashariki mwa Congo na wanawatoza kodi wananchi .

Umoja wa Mataifa unaishutumu Rwanda kuwaunga mkono waasi wa M23. Wakati huo huo Maafisa wa Congo wanataka Rwanda iwekewe vikwazo biashara ya madini .

Waziri wa Madini wa Congo, ameziandikia nchi za Marekani na Uingereza akizitolea wito kampuni katika nchi hizo ziache kununua madini kutoka Rwanda, ambayo mengi anasema yanachimbwa katika ardhi ya Congo.

Zaidi ya watu 200,000 wameachwa bila makao kufuatia mapigano Mashariki mwa nchi.

Mkutano wa maafisa wa ngazi ya juu watakaojadili mzozo huo unatarajiwa kufanyika katika baraza la usalama la Umoja wa mataifa mjini New York wiki ijayo.

"waasi wa M23 wako katika pembe moja ya mkoa wa Kivu Mashariki ambao unapakana na Rwanda na Uganda'' alisema bwana Ladsous wakati akiwahutubia waandishi wa habari mjini New York.

Waasi wanaotoroka vita

"ni kama ambao wanatawala kwani wanawatoza kodi wenyeji wa mkoa huo , jambo hili halikubaliki hata kidogo'' aliongeza bwana Ladsous.

Wakati huohuo, maafisa wa utawala nchini DRC wanataka vikwazo kuwekewa biashara ya madini yanayotoka nchini Rwanda.

Wadadisi wanasema kuwa madini mengi yanayotoka nchini Rwanda huenda yalitoka nchini DRC na kuchimbwa na makundi ya waasi walio na uhusiano na Rwanda.

"namna tunavyoweza kukomesha kabisa mzozo huu ni Rwanda kuwekewa vikwazo vya kibiashara kwa madini yanayotoka nchini humo hadi tutakapoweza kupata suluhu la kudumu kwa mzozo katika mikoa ya Kaskazini na Kusini ma Kivu.'' alisema waziri wa madini wa DRC Martin Kabwelulu. .

Barcelona 3-2 Spartak Moscow: Messi bails out hosts with second-half double

The Argentine forward raced to his team's rescue once again with two goals in the latter stages of the game to clinch all three points for the hosts

 Barcelona produced a thrilling comeback to edge past Spartak Moscow 3-2 at Camp Nou in their opening Champions League match on Wednesday.

Lionel Messi was once again the difference for the Catalans, scoring twice in the last 18 minutes to reverse a 2-1 deficit and give his side an early lead atop the Group G standings.

Cristian Tello opened the scoring after 14 minutes, but the home side was pegged back just before the half-hour mark by an own goal from Dani Alves from a Spartak break.

Barca struggled to create many opportunities, and was carved apart on the break once more in the second half as Romulo stunned the home crowd into silence when he gave the visitors a shock lead in the 59th minute.

But Messi popped up with two close-range strikes in the 72nd and 80th minutes to put the Catalans back in the lead for good, though question marks remain after they were given a run for their money by the determined side from Russia.

Tito Vilanova opted for Cesc Fabregas in midfield, while Adriano filled in at left back in the absence of regular starter Jordi Alba.

Tello was also handed a chance to impress with a start in the Barca front three, and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands with the opening goal after 14 minutes.

The 21-year-old beat his marker by cutting in off the left flank, and with Spartak’s defense slow to react, he had time to pick his spot and drill low into the far corner.

The goal came as a welcome boost for Barca, which had seen defender Gerard Pique forced off moments earlier through injury, with summer signing Alex Song coming on in his stead.

Messi nearly doubled the advantage in the 20th minute when he turned to face goal at the top of the box, but a wicked effort curled past the post by inches.

The Argentine would soon rue that miss, thanks to a catastrophic defensive sequence that saw Spartak, which had barely had a kick up until that point, stun Camp Nou by drawing level.

Emenike did the hard work, racing past Javier Mascherano on the left before sliding a cross towards goal. The ball was missed completely by Song, and Alves, under no pressure, inexplicably side-footed into the corner of his own goal.

Barca, despite dominating possession, found it hard to find a route through to goal in the face of a determined rearguard effort from the Russian side, but it managed to give the away side a few scares in the closing stages of the first half.

Fabregas thought he had made a breakthrough in the 37th minute when he lifted Xavi’s clipped pass towards goal with his head, but Andriy Dykan was alert to prevent it from sneaking in under the crossbar.

The Spain midfielder saw an appeal for a penalty go unacknowledged moments later after a tussle with Marek Suchy, before Xavi drove just off target with one of the last kicks of the half.

Alves nearly made amends for his first-half mishap moments after the restart with an arrowed drive into the top corner, but his goal was correctly chalked off after he had strayed inches offside.

Spartak was soon able to break towards the Barca goal, but Emenike could not make the most of Ari’s cutback, and fired over the bar from the edge of the box.

The visitors would make no such mistake with their next counterattack though, and stormed into the lead in the 59th minute, just seconds after coming mightily close to conceding.

Messi was denied from point-blank range by a great save from Dykan, and Spartak stormed straight down the pitch. Ari led the charge down the left and teed up Adien McGeady at the top of the box, whose clever slipped pass allowed Romulo to skip past Adriano and slot neatly under Victor Valdes.

But Barca would not be down for long. Tello was the architect, wriggling past two defenders on the left flank before cutting back to Messi from the byline, who made no mistake in front of an open net.

Suddenly, Camp Nou was back in full voice as Barcelona, with its tail up, found itself with 18 minutes to find a goal to give the club all three points.

Substitute David Villa nearly achieved that objective when he faced an unguarded net after a scramble from a cross, but Rafael Carioca produced a superb block to deny the Spain striker.

But Messi, once again, would step up to answer the call, and arrived at the far post to head home an Alexis Sanchez’s cross with authority to put the hosts in front.

Sanchez fashioned a similar opportunity moments later for Pedro, but he could not match Messi’s exploits as he sliced across the face of goal from a good position.

Barca played out the closing minutes with ease, as Spartak, worn out from tireless defending all game, simply had nothing left to respond.

Real Madrid 3-2 Manchester City: Ronaldo rocking again as Mancini’s men sink to Bernabeu defeat

Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov both gave the visitors the lead before goals from Marcelo and Karim Benzema preceded the Portuguese's dramatic winner in the final minutes

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning goal in the 90th minute as Real Madrid secured a 3-2 victory against Manchester City after an incredible second half at the Santiago Bernabeu.

All five goals were scored in the final 21 minutes. Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov twice gave Manchester City the lead but Real Madrid equalized twice thanks to goals from Marcelo and Karim Benzema.

Don't Miss

• Montpellier 1-2 Arsenal: Gunners win
• Dinamo Zagreb 0-2 Porto: Road winner

• AC Milan 0-0 Anderlecht: Milan struggles
• Olympiakos 1-2 Schalke: Huntelaar winner

• BVB 1-0 Ajax: Lewandowski wins it late
• Malaga 3-0 Zenit: Dream debut

• PSG 4-1 Dynamo Kiev: Big win for PSG

Dzeko came off the bench to give the visitors the lead after a surging run from midfield from Toure, but Marcelo quickly replied with a curling shot.

The home supporters were left stunned when Kolarov's free kick drifted untouched into the bottom corner of Iker Casillas' goal but Benzema again pulled Madrid back with a sublime turn and finish.

And Ronaldo ensured that Jose Mourinho's team put their early season woes behind them with a dipping shot that flew past both Vincent Kompany and Joe Hart.

Both Mourinho and Roberto Mancini and sprung selection surprises, although the latter made the more drastic changes following his team's poor start to their league campaign.

World champion Sergio Ramos was dropped from the Madrid defense, with 19-year-old Raphael Varane stepping in, while City handed a debut to the similarly inexperienced Matija Nastasic, with Joleon Lescott restricted to a place among the substitutes.

Mourinho has been unhappy with Mesut Ozil's start to the season but opted to replace the German with loan signing Michael Essien, of Chelsea, and not marquee purchase Luka Modric. Javi Garcia scored on his debut on Saturday and played again in midfield for the visitors.

With neither Ozil nor Modric in the starting lineup, Ronaldo roamed into the space left vacant in the center of the pitch and immediately looked the game's most threatening player. Hart was tested for the first time when the Portuguese raced on to Higuain's pass before fooling Kompany with a series of tricks and the England goalkeeper did well to palm the low shot wide.

Ronaldo continued to fire at will from the left side of the penalty area and Hart was called into action again when Higuain deflected another powerful shot with his head from close range.

The visitors gradually began to gain more of a foothold but could not get the ball to stick in attack and when they conceded possession, Real Madrid demonstrated its counterattacking prowess. Higuain could not quite control a superb pass dropped behind the City defense by Angel di Maria and Sami Khedira diverted Ronaldo's follow-up effort over the crossbar.

Two adventurous midfield runs by Toure began with promise but ended without troubling Casillas and Higuain went close again when he latched on to Di Maria's cross to the back post before the half was out.

It is difficult to imagine that in this, of all games, attacking quality would be in short supply but while both teams ventured into dangerous territory early in the second half, the finishing touches needed to open the scoring continued to elude them.

Mancini had already introduced Kolarov from the bench when Samir Nasri suffered a hamstring injury in the first half and with both benches littered with attacking talent, more changes seemed inevitable. Dzeko was next to take the field, replacing David Silva, and the Bosnian would provide the cutting edge that had been missing.

Toure, who had looked City's biggest threat all night long, broke out of the midfield again to create a two-on-one attack and this time successfully found his target with a simple through ball. Dzeko took the pass in his stride and beat Casillas with a composed, low left-footed finish.

Ozil had already been thrown into the fray and Modric and Benzema were quickly introduced as Mourinho sought to salvage something from the match, but Toure almost doubled the lead when released by Carlos Tevez, shooting narrowly wide.

The Spanish champions immediately looked more dangerous in the final third following the changes, though, and Marcelo curled a right-footed shot into the top corner after shaking off Kompany just outside the penalty area.

Set-pieces have troubled Madrid all season and after Pablo Zabaleta had failed to get contact on Carlos Tevez's low cross, Kolarov delivered a free kick that found its way into the back of the net after flying without interference past defenders and attackers alike.

Incredibly, though, there was more to come, and Mancini's celebrations on the sideline were short-lived. Benzema was next to strike after a mazy run from Di Maria, turning on the edge of the box and firing a powerful, low shot into the bottom corner.

And City's hearts were broken when Ronaldo stepped inside Zabaleta – who had relieved Maicon of his duties of marking the Portugal star – and released a dipping shot that beat the partially obscured Hart after Kompany had put himself in the way of the ball but failed to head clear.

 

WACHIMBA MIGODI WAREJEA KAZINI.

Wachimba migodi waliokuwa wanagoma

Wachimba migodi wa kampuni ya Lonmin nchini Afrika Kusini, wamekubali kurejea kazini siku ya Alhamisi.

Wachimba migodi hao walijawa na furaha huku wakishangilia walipoambiwa kuhusu pendekezo la asilimia 22 la nyongeza ya mishahara watakayolipwa.

Lakini shirika la kushughulikia mizozo ya ajira liliambia BBC kuwa lilikuwa linasubiri ikiwa pendekezo la hivi karibuni la mishahara litakubalika au la.

Mwezi jana polisi waliwaua kwa kuwapiga risasi wafanyakazi wa mgodi huo waliokuwa wakigoma kudai mishahara bora na mazingira mazuri ya kazi. Wachimba migodi 34 waliuawa.

Uzalishaji wa madini umeathirika sana kwa wiki kadhaa huku mzozo huo ukisambaa hadi katika migodi mingine.

Tume ya maridhiano iliambia BBC kwamba waakilishi wa wafanyakazi hao, waliwashauri 

wachimba migodi kuhusu pendekezo la sasa la nyongeza ya mishahara na wala hawakupata pingamizi zozote.

Wafanyakazi hao , walikusanyika katika uwanja mmoja karibu na mgodi wa Marikana kusikiliza hotuba ya waakilishi wao.

Wamekuwa wakidai nyongeza ya mishahara ya dola miatisa thelathini na tano. Kwa sasa wanalipwa kati ya randi 4,000 na 5,000.

''Kilichofanyika leo ni ushindi mkubwa kwa wafanyakazi hawa na watarejea kazini siku ya Alhamisi'' alinukuliwa akisema kasisi mmoja aliyewawakilisha wafanyakazi hao, Joe Seoka.

Pia alielezea kuwa wafanykazi hao watalipwa randi 2,000 kwa kipindi ambacho walikuwa wanagoma kwani hawakuwa wanapokea malipo yoyote.

Idadi ya maiti waliozikwa kwenye makaburi hayo yaliyogunduliwa katika kijiji cha Ozhi ambacho kimekuwa kitovu cha ghasia hizo,haijulikani kulingana na polisi wala haijutambulishwa.

Kwa sasa polisi wameomba idhini ya mahakama kuweza kufukua makaburi hayo.

Hapo jana nyumba ishirini ziliteketezwa moto na watu wasio julikana.

Zaidi ya watu 100 wameuawa katika mapigano kati ya wakulima na wafugaji wanaozozania ardhi na maji katika eneo hilo.

Afisa mkuu wa polisi mkoani pwani, Aggrey Adoli, ameiambia BBC kwamba bado wanasubiri kibali cha mahakama kuwaruhusu kufukua na kubaini miili hiyo.

Kuna madai kuwa wanasiasa ndio waliochochea ghasia hizo huku heka heka za uchaguzi mkuu nchini zikiwa zimenza. Uchaguzi huo utafanyika mwezi Machi mwaka ujao.

Ramani ya Kenya

Waekezaji wa nje na ndani ya nchi wamekuwa wakitafuta vibali vya kumiliki ardhi katika eneo hilo kwa lengo la kufanya kilimo na kutengeza kawi inayotokana na mimea.

Na kwa hivyo kuchaguliwa kushikilia wadhifa wowote serikalini kunampa mwanasiasa ushawishi mkubwa sana katika eneo hilo.

Kuna wasiwai kuwa huku uchaguzi ukikaribia, ushindani wa kisiasa heunda ukachochea ghasia kuzuka tena kama ilivyokua katika uchaguzi wa mwaka 2007

MALEMA AZUIWA KUHUTUBIA WACHIMBA MIGODI.

Malema akabiliana na polisi

Mwanasiasa tatanishi nchini Afrika Kusini Julius Malema amezuiwa kuwahutubia wafanyakazi wa migodini wanaogoma katika mgodi wa Marikana.

Takriban wachimba migodi 2,000, walikusanyika katika uwanja mmoja ulioko karibu na mgodi huo Kaskazini Magharibi mwa Johannesburg kumsikiliza Malema.

Migomo ya wachimba migodi ambayo inakumba nchi hiyo tayari imeathiri uzalishaji wa madini ya dhahabu na Platinum katika nchi hiyo ambayo ina utajiri mkubwa wa maliasili.

Rais Jacob Zuma amesema kuwa hatua ya wachimba migodi imesababisha hasara ya karibu dola milioni 548 kwa sekta ya madini.

Akiongea kabla ya kongamano la vyama vya wafanyakazi nchini humo, (Cosatu) Zuma alisema kuwa migomo ya mwaka huu imekosesha hazina ya fedha dola milioni 388.

Wiki jana serikali ilisema kuwa itachukua hatua za dharura dhidi ya wale wanaochochea fujo na hivyo kuisababishia sekta ya madini mamilioni ya hasara.

Baada ya kutofautiana na polisi waliokuwa wanalinda uwanja huo, Malema alisindikizwa na kikosi maalum cha polisi hadi mbali sana na uwanja huo. Magari mawili ya polisi yenye silaha yalifuata gari la Malema na juu angani kukawa na helikopta iliyokuwa inamfuata pia.

Ametoa wito wa maandamano ya kitaifa baada ya hapo awali, kusema kuwa shughuli za migodi lazima zitatizwe.

Malema amekosolewa na wengi ambao wanamuona kama mwenye njama ya kutumia masaibu ya wafanyakazi wa migodini kujinufaisha kisiasa hasa baada ya wachimba migodi 34 kuuawa na polisi wakati wa mgomo wao katika mgodi wa Marikana mwei jana.

 Kwa mujibu wa jeshi hilo, wanachama wengine wakuu wa kundi hilo pia walikamatwa katika msako mkali wa jeshi uliofanywa ,mapema leo Kaskazii mwa mji wa jimbo la Kano.

Kundi hilo la Boko Haram bado halijatoa kauli yoyote kuhusiana na mauaji hayo yanayodaiwa kufanywa na jeshi.

Mamia ya watu wameuawa mwaka huu pekee katika mashambulizi yaliyofanywa na Boko Haram, Kaskazini mwa Nigeria.

Inaarifiwa kuwa jeshi lilisimamisha gari lililokuwa linashukiwa kumbeba mwanachama mkuu wa kundi hilo pamoja na maafisa wengine wakuu wa kundi hilo.

Duru zinasema kuwa mmoja wa washukiwa waliokuwa ndani ya gari hilo alijaribu kutoroka lakini polisi waliweza kumpiga risasi na kumuua.

Baadhi ya watu waliokuwa ndani ya gari hilo wameambia polisi kuwa mtu aliyeuawa ni 

msemaji wa kundi la Boko Haram ambaye pia alikuwa anatumia jina bandia la Abul Qaqa.

Jeshi la polisi linasema linafanya kila hali kuhakikisha linamtambua mtu huyo.
