Chuo Kikuu watimuliwa

UONGOZI wa Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam, Kampasi ya Mlimani umewasimamisha masomo wanafunzi wa shahada za kwanza kwa muda usiojulikana.

Hatua hiyo imekuja baada ya wanafunzi hao kukaidi amri ya chuo pamoja na ya Waziri wa Elimu na Mafunzo ya Ufundi, Prof Jumanne Maghembe, iliyowataka kusitisha mgomo na kurudi madarasani wakati wizara ikishughulikia madai yao.

Kufuatia hatua hiyo, Rais wa Serikali ya wanafunzi wa chuo hicho, Anthony Machibya, aliwatangazia wanafunzi wenzake juu ya kusimamishwa huko na kusisitiza kuwa, pamoja na kufukuzwa chuoni hapo, lakini watakaporudi wataendeleza harakati za kudai haki yao mpaka watakapoipata.

Vurugu Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam

Unaona hapa ni kama vile kuna vita, wala si watu wengine bali ni wanafunzi wa Chuo KIkuu cha Dar es salaama wakipambana wao kwa wao ambapo wamewajeruhi wenzao kwa mawe na chupa katika harakati za kuwaondoa wengine madarasani.

Tukio hilo lilisababishwa na vurugu kati ya wanafunzi wa Chuo Kikuu cha Dar es Salaam waliogoma wakitaka wapewe asilimia 100 ya mikopo inayojumlisha fedha za kujikimu na ada za masomo na baadhi yao ambao walipinga mgomo huo, baada ya waliogoma kuwalazimisha wenzao kutoka madarasani.

Wanafunzi wawili wamelazwa katika zahanati ya chuo ambao ni Makala Simon mwanafunzi wa mwaka wa tatu wa Chuo cha Uhandisi na Teknolojia ambaye amepigwa jiwe na kujeruhiwa shavu la kushoto.

Pia yupo Benedict Edward aliyejeruhiwa kichwani baada ya kupigwa chupa ya soda kichwani ambaye hali yake ilizidi kuwa mbaya na akapelekwa hospitali ya Misheni Mikocheni kwa matibabu zaidi.

Obama Rais wa Marekani

WASHINGTON – His name etched in history as America's first black president, Barack Obama turned from the jubilation of victory to the sobering challenge of leading a nation worried about economic crisis, two unfinished wars and global uncertainty.
"The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep," Obama cautioned.
Young and charismatic but with little experience on the national level, Obama smashed through racial barriers and easily defeated Republican John McCain to become the first African-American destined to sit in the Oval Office, America's 44th president. He was the first Democrat to receive more than 50 percent of the popular vote since Jimmy Carter in 1976.
"It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment, change has come to America," Obama told a victory rally of 125,000 people jammed into Chicago's Grant Park.
Obama scored an Electoral College landslide that redrew America's political map. He won states that reliably voted Republican in presidential elections, like Indiana and Virginia, which hadn't supported the Democratic candidate in 44 years. Ohio and Florida, key to Bush's twin victories, also went for Obama, as did Pennsylvania, which McCain had deemed crucial for his election hopes.
With just 76 days until the inauguration, Obama is expected to move quickly to begin assembling a White House staff and selecting Cabinet nominees.
Campaign officials said Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel was the front-runner to be Obama's chief of staff. The advisers spoke on a condition of anonymity because the announcement had not yet been made.
Democrats expanded their majority in both houses of Congress. In the Senate, Democrats ousted Republicans Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina and John Sununu of New Hampshire and captured seats held by retiring GOP senators in Virginia, New Mexico and Colorado. Still, the GOP blocked a complete rout, holding the Kentucky seat of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and a Mississippi seat once held by Trent Lott — two top Democratic targets.
In the House, with fewer than a dozen races still undecided, Democrats captured Republican-held seats in the Northeast, South and West and were on a path to pick up as many as 20 seats.
