Which way for Tanzanias President?

I find the new Tzeds situation fascinating. I think this is the only female president ever to have co-wives.

Also, its the perfect example of how modernity clashes with the past. Islam has always treated women as 2nd class citizens. They arent even allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia. Yet, here we have an Islamic president with co-wives.

So on one hand, the constitution of Tz says she can rule. On the other hand, her religion says she cant. It looks as if she is going to navigate a very interesting path since she appears to be following both points of view

This situation is probably what makes her very level headed in my opinion.

Ťhis clash of religion and constitution will make it fascinating to watch her every move. Going forward, it will be interesting to see if her situation could be exploited by her political enemies.

Shida iko hapo kwa co-wives. Wata tambuliwa kama nani? Alafu mzaya akinyorosha Kofi one of the co-wives recce ya huko inamchangamkiya ama…

Sioni akimaliza kama president. Islam has some old fuckks who will summon her husband and remind him about a woman’s position in the religion. I would tell Suluhu if any of those fools try to mess with he job awaue.

She should already be assembling a hit team to deal with those that will complain. Anafaa akuwe kama Merkel.

io ni mharo ya kanjo bana.
huyo jamaa ako na watoi wanne na huyo mama peke yake

She’s facing challenges but Islam and co-wives is the least of her problems. Shida ni inner circle of CCM. They seem to have done the cabinet reshuffle and chose a Magufuli loyalist for VP.

Her challenge is making the government her own.

It’s also interesting that both her citizenship and that of her VP have been challenged. Both on very flimsy grounds but taken together with this cowife nonsense it’s indicative of detractors busy looking for something to crucify her for.

Ushauri wangu ni watu wawe na subira, she’ll make actual mistakes soon. No need to manufacture crisis.

Fücked up Wahabism and Islam are not one and the same.

Maybe Islam is right about women. Your liberal outlook has you people crying about women everyday.

The islamic hadith says that “A people which has a woman as a leader will never prosper”
Samia Suluhu has to choose between her religion or the constitution; she can’t eat her cake and have it.

Pakistanis might be more Islamic and more so religiously Conservative than the Tanzanians are. Even a hundred times more Conservative. And yet Benazir Bhutto, a Muslim woman, was the head of their government for several years.

Then they killed her for their troubles

At least that was long after she left office, although the fact that she was killed while on a campaign for the same office can’t be gainsaid.

And yet another in real world, the opposite holds. The most chauvinistic societies are also the poorest. And vice versa

Like China, Japan and some other Asian countries?

No like Africa vs Western Europe. Arabs are only upheld by oil.

:oops: banae mmesumbuka na kuhangaika na huyu mama sababu ni muisilamu tuu…

Really? Give substantial reason beyond doubt for your inclination.
Out of the top 20 countries with the highest GDP, only a very few have females heads, and even for these exceptions, the prosperity was inherited from a male head.

But that’s besides the point. Its not about male chauvinism; what stands out is the clear conflict with Samia’s religion. Her religion is against female heads, so she should either cease Islam or cease being head, otherwise it is a hypocritical front.The conflict is the bullet point here.

You wish. The richest country in the world( Qatar) is very chauvinistic af. Same to Arab countries and Asia, like China and Japan where women have to tow the line. Liberalism and feminism doesn’t work. Women alone are incapable of leading.

So religion was not an issue when she was VP or anywhere during her long political career? I have always believed that people place limitation on other humans and go bonkers when said humans surpass the set limits. Suluhu’s only mistake however it happened is rising above the limits that were set for her.

Swali ni,akimove kwa presidential ‘palace’, ni kwake ama? Alafu akiingia kejani,bado yeye ni prezda ama bwana anaeza mchangamkia ma slaps mwoto mara kwa mara ,pia,on sieks rotation si osband anaskia fiti kunyandua sirkal?:smiley:
