Crisis as immigrants move aimlessly, Kikwete refers to them as haram

Kagame and Kikwete differ and innocent people suffer, that's the general perception prevalent as immigrants roam aimlessly following Jakaya-Kikwete issued deadline. Humanitarian crisis is looming as Rwanda and Tanzania decided to abandon poor people to their fate.
Kikwete called the immigrants 'haramu'. Although the media refers to the immigrants as haram, but it shocked the targets hearing it from the all powerful head of state, who is supposed to be a fountain of honour, respect, humanity and justice. Haramis an Arabic term meaning sinful. In Islamic Jurisprudence, haraam is used to refer to any act that is forbidden by God, and is one of five الأحكام الخمسة (al-ahkam al-khamsah) that define the morality of human action.[1] Acts that are haraam are typically prohibited in the religious texts of the Quran and the Sunnah. The category of haraam is the highest status of prohibition. Islam teaches that a haraam (sinful) act is recorded by an angel on your left shoulder.[2] If something is considered haraam, it remains prohibited no matter how good the intention is or how honorable the purpose is.[3] A haraam is converted into a gravitational force on the day of judgement and placed on mizan (weighing scales).[4][5] Views of different madhabs can vary significantly regarding what is or is not haraam.[6]
