Swala la bandari kupew wawekezaji kutoka nje limezua mtafaruku nchini kwani mazingira yaliyopelekea hilo kutokea ni mazingira ya siri yanayoleta maashaka juu ya usalama wa rasilimali za nchi. Wananchi walio wengi wamepinga mkataba wa bandari kati ya Tanzania na DP World sababu kubwa ikiwa ni mkataba wa kinyonyaji usio na malengo ya kuiendeleza nchi. Baadhi ya vijana wamejitokeza kushiriki maandamano ya amani kama sehemu ya kupaza sauti zao kwa Serikali kufungua macho kwa kinachoendelea lakini maandamano haya yalizuiliwa na polisi. Kwa polisi kukamata watu ili kuzuia wasiandamane ni kukiuka taratibu na kuvunja haki za watu katika maamdamano wanatakiwa kushtakiwa kwa kuwa maandamano ni haki ya kila mmoja kikatiba.
Kinachofanya serikali kuzuia maandamano ni hofu ya kuwaamsha waliolala katika sakata hili la bandari, hivyo wananchi wasikate tamaa na waendeleee kutumia njia nyingine za amani ili kuhakikisha kila mwananchi anapata ufahamu. Ili kuleta maridhiano katika suala la maendeleo na kulirejesha taifa letu la Tanzania katika mkondo wa kidemokrasia, tunahitaji katiba mpya. Wananchi wametoa wito kwa Serikali iliyoko madarakani kulipa kipaumbele suala la #KatibaMpya  na kufufua tena wito wa kutaka madaraka ya Rais yapunguzwe. Madaraka makubwa ya Rais ni mzigo kwa Taifa kwa kuwa hakuna mtu anaweza kuendesha nchi kwa ufanisi akiwa na mamlaka yasiyo na ukomo.

ENGLISH VERSION

The issue concerning the country’s port being given to foreign Arab investors from Dubai has created chaos in the country because the agreements made and contracts signed were done in secret without public knowledge. This has raised doubts about the security of the country's resources. The majority of citizens have opposed the port contract between Tanzania and DP World, the main reason being that it is an exploitative contract which does not aim to develop the country. Tanzanian youths have come out to participate in a peaceful protest as part of raising their voices for the Government to open their eyes to what is currently happening, but these protests were stopped by the police.

 The police having to forcefully arrest the protestors so as to put a stop to the peaceful protest are violating the people's rights and should be charged because protest is everyone's constitutional right. What makes the government prevent protests is the fear of having more Tanzanians knowledgeable on the dark truths concerning the DP World contract. Hence, the Tanzanian people should not give up and continue to use other peaceful means to ensure that every citizen gains awareness. In order to bring reconciliation in terms of development and return our nation of Tanzania to a democratic course, we need a new a new constitution. Citizens have called on the Government in power to give priority to resuming the process of getting a new constitution and revive the call for the President's powers to be reduced. The great powers of the President are a burden to the Nation because no one can lead the country effectively with unlimited powers without accountability.
