Rwanda is unhappy with Tanzania for its decision to evict Rwandan immigrants emass. Ugandan journalist Andrew Mwenda, whose twitter posts were discussed in Jamii Forum, has castigated Kikwete for undermining the legacy of Nyerere, to him Nyerere gave Rwandese citizenship and Kikwete is taking it from them. Of course he is wrong, he has been fed with one-sided stuff by the evictees. In Tanzania media is slowly whipping up anti-Tutsi sentiments, Mtanzania leads the pack. this paper owned by prominent businessman Rostam Aziz, says they have infiltrated the system and are working for Kagame.
As the two government try to calm the dust, the media and journalists are at the fore, trying to excite everything. the Media Council of Tanzania has already warned the media of sensationalizing things and create war situation. Watch this space.
Meanwhile, Jamii Forum is posting balanced opinions and is abandoning anti-Banyarwanda rhetoric. The Tanzania's popular social media platform has cleared its front page of any racist materials originating from ultra anti-Tutsi politician such as Christopher Mtikila.
