Tanzania's very popular social interactive platform, Jamii Forum, has been inciting ethnic cleansing and promoting racial and tribal hatred against people of Rwandan origin.
Days after Tanzanian president Jakaya Kikwete announced massive operation against illegal immigrants, which was viewed as a retaliation against Kagame's 'insults' against him, Jamii Forum has encouraged debates all directed at promoting hatred against Banyarwanda. There is a small population of Tanzanians who were given citizenship in early 1980s by first president Julius Nyerere, and there are also Tanzanians in border regions who look like Banyarwanda and are being listed as Banyarwanda who should be ethnic-cleansed, Jamii Forum pointed out Kasusura, a Tanzanian from the royal family of Biharamulo.
The Jamii Forum users have also been listing names of their enemies, job and social competitors as banyarwanda who should be ethnic cleansed. It is understood that Jamii Forum is funded by donors through Tanzania Media Fund.
