Huu ni uhakiki wa kitabu cha khadithi fupi fupi zilizotungwa na Ally Saleh ambapo hii inakuwa ni kazi yake ya pili baada ya ile ya mashairi huru iliyopewa jina la CHANGAMKA.

Nimeona kuwa kwa mara nyengine tena, Zanzibar imeonekana kwenye magazeti ya Tanganyika. Wenyewe, ukimtoa Mchungaji Christopher Mtikila na kaumu yake, hawataki waitwe Watanganyika.

A Paradox? December 6, 2007

I am proudly a Zanzibari… honestly speaking, I have never felt at ease under Tanzania flag…. Sometimes, I feel even more trapped between these two facts, double trapped: there is an official need for me to be identified as a Tanzanian. For example, I carry a Tanzanian passport and when it comes to a question of international gathering, I should fly Tanzania flag. Yet there is another fact that I have never accepted: ‘the occupation’ as for me this Union is perceived as a symbol of occupation.
