Somalia: Ministry of Information Culture and Tourism – Press Release (02.03.2020)




It seems like there is a reason why the Police Force cannot solve crimes. All along they never hired Jim Carrey or ‘The Cable Guy’ from 1996. He should really help the detectives, the police officers and every other agency in the Republic to solve the criminal activities there. His needed and that quickly.
This is since, the Police Force has claimed, when they get to study the tapes of the murder scenes and places where crimes where committed. They would able to solve these crimes. However, now as the murders are a week old and some are even older than that. Then, they are putting out a statement, that power outage and disruptions in fibre cables is the reason for their lack of possible leads.
Like, this is now UMEME Limited and Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL) fault, they are too blame for the power outages. While the National Information Technology Authority (NITA) and National Data Transmission Backbone Infrastructure and e-Government Infrastructure (NBI/ EGI) is to blame for the bad fibre optic cables, which is also causing issues for the CCTV cameras.
It is like its a acronym jungle, where the Police Force (UPF) is lost together with Internal Security Organization (ISO), the Flying Squad and the Cheiftain of Military Intelligence (CMI). Who knows whose else is missing. Because, the UMEME, UETCL, NITA and NBI/EGI is all screwing up. I am sure someone there, they can need the service of the Cable Guy.
They surely seems to need him now. If not, the Police Force wouldn’t come with a statement like this. Where they are pleading to the public, like a school-kid who couldn’t finish their homework on time and blaming the dog for eating the assignment. Because, that what they did. Instead, as professionals call the technician. Or is it their plea to get money so they can get service on their operation? Do the Police Force need supplementary funds and more funds for upkeep?
Seemingly, the UMEME, UETCL, NITA and NBI/EGI should be offended, but also defend their craft. We know the UMEME has often outages, but the Police Force should be able to cover tapes, angles and have safety batteries in their operational CCTV cameras. In this day and age, even fire-alarms and other installations like that has alarms that has batteries that last for days even without electricity. That is if, the state and its producers has built a well-functioning system. Especially, considering the knowledge of the common cold or the common black-outs.
That is really the magic trick here. It is a reason why many fuel power-generators to keep the business humming, even when the black-outs are appearing on the skyline and awaiting for the return of the Dark Knight. However, the Police Force isn’t prepared for villains nor heroes. Only to be silently idle and await their next happy hour.
That is why they are lonely and need a friend like the Cable Guy to save the day. He might even cover them with a free cable to save the next coming crime. Because, you invited him and befriended. He needs a companion and who better, than the lost in darkness, Police officers in the Republic. Peace.



“The definition of unnecessary-ness
Manifested
Say that we should protest just to get arrested” – Lupe Fiasco – ‘Around My Way (Freedom ain’t free)’ 2012
Over the weekend, Movement for Democratic Change – Alliance (MDC-A) MP Job Sikhala by the end of January 2020 had been arrested 64 times in his career. Now, that he was re-arrested over the weekend, he has hit the mark of 65 times. That is a major achievement. It also show what sort of state of affairs is in Zimbabwe.
The MP who has seeked refugee in London, United Kingdom in exile. A man who was sought after and hunted after during the hey-day of President Mugabe. His successor Mnangagwa doesn’t want to be worse. What is missing is charging him again with treason and detaining him for years. Because, his been tortured and been in legal jeopardy more than a person should be. His been in trouble for his stance.
The ZANU-PF people online and elsewhere calls him militant. While they over the weekend used the police to raid the home of Sikhala and also block the MDC from demonstrating. That they even arrested 13 more MDC activists on the ground. That is why the ZANU-PF and the Herald has condemned the MDC-A, but they are not looking into the factors, which sparked it. They raided, summoned and arrested Sikhala. Which isn’t a new thing, but its the 65th time in his career. That says something about the extent of it all.
Not that destruction nor destroying things in a area is right. That has happen in Chitungwiza. However, there was tear-gas, gunshots and other terror delivered from the state. So blazing fire with fire. Surely, the activists could have used other means, but when the armed forces coming with all guns towards them. The fear make them fire up tires and throw stones at a ZUPCO bus. Still, the police should know better, they are amplifying it. They could have contained it, but instead made it worse. So, the ZANU-PF is blaming the stone throwers, but not taking any blame for using tear-gas or weapons against civilians without arms. Just think about that for a little minute.
You thought enough. Who would you condemn the most? The ones shooting bullets and tear-gas at youths reacting to their leader getting into trouble, again and again. Sikhala is the common target and denominator, since he got the courage to speak out and say his true opinion of the regime. That is why they are raiding his home, they are stopping the people from rioting and had the anti-riot police at his home. They really knew that this would happen and still they are blaming MDC-A for it all.
That is why it doesn’t make sense. They made this happen. They went after Sikhala again. A man they cannot rest, a man they got to bully and make him suffer. This is what the ZANU-PF does.
Sikhala deserves better, the constituency he represents deserves better. However, the authorities and regime doesn’t want to give the public that. Neither, give Job Sikhala justice either. Peace.
