Kamanda wa Kikosi cha FOMAC Jenerali Jean-Felix Akaga ndiye ametoa onyo hilo kwa Waasi wa Seleka na kuwataka kutokuwa na mawazo ya kuuchukua Mji wa Damara ambao unashikiliwa na Majeshi hayo wakisaidia Jeshi la serikali.

Onyo hilo linakuja kipindi ambacho matarajio ya Waasi wa Seleka kuuweka kwenye himaya yao Mji wa Bangui nchini Jamhuri ya Afrika ya Kati yakitoweka kufuatia nchi jirani kupeleka wanajeshi wake kuisaidia serikali ya Rais Francois Bozize aliyekataliwa msaada wa kijeshi kutoka kwa Ufaransa na Marekani.

The smiles that show she's going to be OK: Hillary Clinton discharged from hospital with beaming Bill and Chelsea after blood clot brain scare

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER and LESLIE LARSON

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been discharged from New York-Presbyterian Hospital on Wednesday holding tightly to the hand of her smiling daughter Chelsea and flanked by her beaming husband Bill, three days after she was admitted for a blood clot in her head.

Wearing dark sunglasses and a warm coat to brave the New York winter chill, she walked down the steps of the hospital into a waiting van - creating a media frenzy since the 65-year-old has not been seen publicly since December 7.

Secretary Clinton has been hospitalized since Sunday when her doctors discovered a blood clot in her head, in a vein behind her right ear that helps carry blood away from the brain. She is being treated with blood thinners to help dissolve the clot and doctors say she will make a full recovery.

Finally leaving: Hillary Clinton was alone in the car with her security team when she finally left New York-Presbyterian Hospital after being formally discharged on Wednesday

Rest: The Secretary of State is expected to make a full recovery and will rest at home while doing so

There was initially confusion when Clinton first appeared on Wednesday afternoon because it was unclear whether she was being discharged from the hospital or if she had only been transported to a nearby medical facility for tests.

Surrounded by her upbeat family, a team of security guardsand one doctor, she exited the hospital and was driven across the street to another facility but then returned to the hospital about a half hour later.

But by early evening, her spokesman confirmed that she had indeed been released from the hospital on West 168th Street in Manhattan.

'Secretary Clinton was discharged from the hospital this evening. Her medical team advised her that she is making good progress on all fronts, and they are confident she will make a full recovery,' Secretary Clinton's spokesman Philippe Reines said in a statement.

All smiles: Bill and Chelsea Clinton both grin as they escort Hillary, 65, from the hospital, wearing dark sunglasses and a warm coat to brave the New York winter chill

Family: Hillary Clinton holds her daughter's hand as she emerges from the hospital on Wednesday after three days

Support: Holding tightly to her daughter's hand, the secretary of state exited the hospital on Wednesday afternoon. Her spokesman confirmed she was discharged this evening

'She's eager to get back to the office, and we will keep you updated on her schedule as it becomes clearer in the coming days.

'Both she and her family would like to express their appreciation for the excellent care she received from the doctors, nurses and staff at New York Presbyterian Hospital Columbia University Medical Center.'

Her daughter Chelsea Clinton confirmed that the Secretary is heading home, presumably to recover in the family's house in the upscale New York suburb of Chappaqua. The Clintons bought the home, located only a 40-minute drive outside of Manhattan, in 1999 and have used it as their primary residence for much of the last decade. Read more: Dailymail.co.uk

Serikali ya Somalia yataka kudai mali zake zilizoko ugenini

Na Adnan Hussein, Mogadishu

Serikali ya Somalia inafanyia kazi mpango wa kurejesha mali zake zilizozuiliwa na serikali za kigeni na mashirika tangu kuanguka kwa serikali kuu mwaka 1991.

Waziri wa Mambo ya Nje wa Somalia Fowsiyo Yusuf Haji Aadan alianza ziara yake kwa nchi kadhaa wiki hii ili kurekodi mali za Somalia zenye thamani ya kifedha katika mabenki ya nje, pamoja na mali zake za kibiashara, balozi, ndege na meli.

Ya kwanza katika ajenda yake ni safari kwenda Nchi za Falme za Kiarabu, Italia na Uingereza.

"Tutafanya mapitio ya ziada ya mali zote za Somalia duniani katika mabara yote na tutawasiliana na washauri wa kigeni wa fedha na sheria," Aadan aliiambia Sabahi tarehe 27 Disemba. "Serikali ya Somalia itaomba kurejeshewa fedha zilizoshikiliwa na mamlaka za Uswisi pamoja na meli na ndege zilizoko Ujerumani, Italia na Yemeni."

Mamlaka ya Ukaguzi wa Soko la Fedha la Uswisi bado halijaweka wazi upana wa akaunti wa serikali kuu ya zamani ya Somalia au biashara baina ya benki za Uswisi na viongozi maarufu wa Somalia ambao mali zao zilizuiliwa.

Huku kukiwa na machafuko kufuatia kuanguka kwa serikali kuu ya Somalia, baadhi ya serikali za kigeni zilizuwia akaunti rasmi za benki za Somalia ili kuepuka matumizi yasiyoidhinishwa. Hata hivyo, mali nyingi za kuoekana za serikali huko nje, ikiwa ni pamoja na ndege na majengo ya balozi za zamani, tangu wakati huo yamekuwa hayasimamiwi vizuri au haijulikani hesabu zao.

Kwa mujibu wa ripoti ya Umoja wa Mataifa iliyovuja mwezi wa Julai, usimamizi mbaya wa mali za umma uliendelea wakati wa Serikali ya Mpito ya Shirikisho, ambapo asilimia 70 ya mapato yalipotea kwa ufisadi, wizi au upotevu. Nyingi ya pesa hizi zinashukiwa kuwa zimepelekwa nje.

Hali ya rais Hugo Chavez iko imara, asema makamu wa urais Venezuela

Makamu wa Rais wa Venezuela Nicolas Maduro

Makamu wa rais nchini Venezuela Nicolas Maduro amesema rais wa nchi hiyo Hugo Chavez amepata fahamu na kutambua kinachoendelea baada ya kufanyiwa upasuaji kutokana na rais huyo kuugua saratani

Maduro ametupilia mbali wasiwasi uliokuwepo juu ya hali ya kiafya ya rais Chavez wakati huu ambapo anatarajiwa kuapishwa rasmi kama rais katika siku kadhaa zijazo.

Akizungumza na chombo kimoja cha habari hapo jana, Makamu huyo wa urais, Nicolas Maduro, amesema amemtembelea Hugo Chavez hospitalini nchini Cuba anakopokea matibabu, na kusalimiana kwa mkono huku Chavez akionekana mwenye nguvu kabisa. Chavez anatarajiwa kuapishwa tarehe 10 mwezi huu kama rais wa Venezuela kwa kipindi cha miaka sita ijayo.

Lakini kutokana na hali yake kiafya kutokuwa ya kuridhisha, mwelekeo wa kisiasa nchini humo umekuwa wa wasiwasi mkubwa. Makamu wa rais Maduro sasa ameunyoshea kidole cha lawama upande wa mrengo wa kulia na baadhi ya vyombo vya habari nchini Venezuela kwa kutilia chumvi habari juu ya afya ya Chavez.

Amesema rais anakabiliana na maradhi yake kwa hadhi kubwa na matumaini. Chavez anayeugua ugonjwa wa saratani alifanyiwa upasuaji wa nne Disemba 11 mjini Havanna. Hadi sasa bado haijabainika rais huyo wa Venezuela anaugua saratani ya aina gani tangu alipogundulika kuugua ugonjwa huo mwezi Juni mwaka wa 2011.

Kikwete: Tanzania came close to civil war in 2012

“Quite frankly, for the first time, our country was pushed towards a profound division of Tanzanians, and even civil war, for religious affiliation,” President Kikwete deplored in a New Year’s televised speech.

President Jakaya Kikwete

“Fortunately, it did not happen, and I pray to God to keep us away from this, for good,” Mr. Kikwete, who is a Muslim indicated, threatening grievous penalties against “any troublemaker,” without any discrimination.

In October 2012, Christian churches were ransacked in the nation’s economic capital, Dar-es-Salaam, by a group of Muslims.

According to police and city officials, these violent acts had broken out after rumors that a 12-year- old boy had urinated on the copy of the Koran of a Muslim comrade.

Then the police had to make a massive intervention in Dar-es-Salaam, as well as in the semi-autonomous archipelago of Zanzibar to prevent similar demonstrations by the Muslim community.

The Tanzanian leader also seized the opportunity of the New Year to present the preliminary results of the general population and housing census that was carried out in August 2012.

According to him, the population of Tanzania has jumped from 34 million people in 2002, to over 44.929 million in 2012.

The continental side of the country represents a total of 43.6 million inhabitants alone, against a little bit over a million islanders on Zanzibar.
