Three years ago, Bernard Sambali, a maize farmer from Bashneti Village
in Babati rural, Manyara region was about to abandon farming.

Mr Sambali as many other farmers in Babati rural district was

frustrated, after harvesting just 15 bags of maize in an acre farm,
earning him only Tshs 360,000/- behind a year-round hard work.

He and his colleagues then resorted to nearby Nou thick forest by

illegally harvesting trees for timber and charcoal as an alternative
means to earn a living.

Sensing danger, Farm Africa, an international organization with its

presence in northern Tanzania, chipped in by introducing one of the
world's most prized mushrooms – as alternative cash crop for hundreds
of upset farmers in a bid to save the legendary Nou Forest from
deforestation.

Two years now, Mr Sambali who bought the Farm Africa’s idea of

embracing mushroom cash crop, is laughing all the way to the bank. He
now earns Tsh 75,000/- per week from a booming mushroom trade or Tsh 3
million from 600kg of fresh mushrooms in a five 27 meters squares
huts.

Going by the Manyara’s mushroom shed standard, one acre farm can

accommodate 181 mushroom sheds with capacity of yielding 398,888 kg of
fresh mushrooms per annum worth Tsh199. 44 million, if all goes well.

No wonder, farmers in Babati rural and Mbulu districts of Manyara

region have dubbed the mushroom as ‘a white gold’, because a crop is
big and lucrative, only after Tanzanite and Tourism as the largest
moneymaker in northern Tanzania.

As you read this, one kg of dry mushroom fetches Tsh 60,000/- and the

Manyara farmers with the support of Farm Africa are currently working
extra-time to secure international recognized packaging and barcode in
a bid to supply in various chains of supermarkets and more importantly
export to the overs eases markets.

Edmund Stanley and Rosemary Ero both from Harambee Mushroom Group in

Endaw village in Babati Rural are grateful to the Farm Africa, saying
it has transformed their rural lives to the better through mushroom
cash crop.

“Mushroom crop is the best in making soup for delivery mothers. So we

grow mushroom not only to make money, but also for our consumption as
a soup for normal people and delivery mothers” Ms Ero noted.

Edible mushrooms are consumed by humans for their nutritional and

occasionally supposed medicinal value as comestibles.

Farm Africa Communication officer, Goodness Mrema says, mushrooms

commercial production was the brainchild of their scheme known as
Tanzania Participatory Forest Management Project (TPFM).

“The idea is to provide an alternative income undertaking to the

community around Nou and Dareda escarpment forests in a bid to
discourage them to destruct forestry” Goodness explained.

As it happened, FARM –Africa had to train the farmers on how to grow

mushrooms, group dynamics and arrange for study tours.

“Mushroom farming has proved a successful business, as the Nou

abundant forest offers up all the materials needed to set up a
mushroom shed” she said, adding farmers from 13 villages formed an
association and built a collection centre, which they use for
training, processing and packaging mushrooms.

“Thanks to our training in how to produce spores, farmers now sell

those too, boosting their earning power even further” Miss Mrema
explained.

This year the centre earned more than Tsh 12 million, helping farmers

pay for their children’s school costs like uniforms, and construct
modern houses.

But mushrooms aren’t only for sale – families also have more food to

eat at home.
With time Farm Africa expects the farmers’ association will become
self-sufficient and take over running the business.

“For now, the farmers take their bottles of spores and newfound

knowledge to share with other villages the secret to protecting their
forest” Miss Mrema concluded.

The East Africa Community now has its own  permanent offices after yesterday's opening of its office complex in Arusha nothern , Tanzania. 
 
The colourful event was officiated by heads of states Presidents Kibaki of Kenya , Jakaya Kikwete of Tanzania and Pierre Nkurunziza of Burundi

it was also attended  by The Aga Khan, who is the founder and chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN). 
Rwandan President Paul Kagame was represented by Prime Minister Pierre Habumuremyi, while Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni was represented by his Minister for State for East African Affairs, Mr Shem Bagaine. 
“We have opened a project that will serve as a symbol for unity and renewal of the integration process,” President Kibaki said.
The opening of the €18.8 million (Sh2 billion) office complex that is fully funded by the German government was also attended by high-ranking dignitaries, including diplomats, business people and other government officials.
They included Tanzania’s Vice-President Mohammed Ghalib Bilal and Premier Mizengo Pinda. 
Hundreds of jubilant nationals of the five EAC member states braved a chilly morning to witness the historic event described by speakers as a turning point in pursuit of a fully integrated region.  
As part of the celebrations, EAC secretary-general Ambassador Richard Sezibera signed two bilateral agreements with Germany worth €26 million (Sh286 million) for tax administration and investment promotion reforms and another one with United States Agency for International Development (USaid) for digitisation of data exchange among the different revenue authorities.
The Director for Africa in Germany’s Federal Foreign Office Ambassador Egon Kochanke and Dr Ulla Mikota, the Director for Africa in the Federal Ministry for Development Co-operation, represented Germany. 
The USaid project could save up to $50 million (Sh4 billion) in costs at border posts.  Last July, The Aga Khan signed a pivotal agreement with the EAC to strengthen and broaden cooperation in economic, social and cultural areas.
The agreement also stipulates that the AKDN and the EAC will work jointly, together with the government of Tanzania, to turn Arusha to a trade hub for the region.
On Tuesday, Tanzania’s President Jakaya Kikwete urged the East African Legislative Assembly (Eala) to pass laws that speed up the regional integration process.

No group has claimed responsibility for the blasts
At least 34 people are reported to have been killed and many injured by two car bomb explosions in a south-eastern district of Syria's capital, Damascus.
State media said "terrorists" were behind the blasts in Jaramana and broadcast pictures showing several charred vehicles and damaged buildings.
The district is predominantly Druze and Christian, two communities which have so far not joined the uprising.
Earlier, there were clashes between security forces and rebels in Jaramana.
There has been fierce fighting in recent days in eastern parts of the countryside around Damascus, known as the Ghouta.
'Suicide attacker'
Pro-government TV channel Addounia said the car bombs had exploded in Jaramana shortly after 06:40 local time (04:40 GMT).

The car bombs exploded in an area which is predominantly Druze and Christian - two minorities which President Bashar al-Assad's government says it is protecting from "terrorist extremists".
These are not the first attacks in Jaramana to have been blamed on those seeking to overthrow the government. But in the past, the armed opposition has denied any involvement and repeatedly said it is targeting Mr Assad's forces and not minority groups. Areas like Jaramana are heavily guarded by pro-government militia known as Popular Committees.
The conflict in Syria is rapidly taking on a sectarian dimension. Earlier this month, similar attacks took place in pro-government Alawite districts like Mezzeh 86 and Woroud.
Meanwhile, government forces continue to bombard rebel-held areas in Damascus and elsewhere in the country that are predominantly Sunni. The opposition says the decisive battle to overthrow Mr Assad will be in Damascus. The city has become heavily fortified, with security forces personnel and checkpoints all over. Many people here feel the tension of further escalation yet to hit the capital.
"Terrorists blew up two car bombs filled with a large amount of explosives in the main square," the official Sana news agency reported.
State television quoted a source at the interior ministry as saying that 34 people had died and 83 had been seriously injured.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based activist group, put the death toll at 47, including women and children. It said it had so far identified 38 of the victims and that the death toll would probably rise.
"Activists and residents in the town said most of the victims were killed when a suicide attacker blew up his car, just after an explosive device was used to blow up another car," it added.
Two smaller bombs also exploded in Jaramana at around the same time as the attack, Sana said, adding that nobody was killed by them.
No group has said it was behind the bombings, and there was no immediately obvious military or government target, reports the BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut.
"What do they want from Jaramana? The town brings together people from all over Syria and welcomes everybody," one resident told the AFP news agency.
The population of Jaramana is mainly Christian and Druze, a heterodox offshoot of Islam. It is also home to many Palestinian and Iraqi refugees.
Few members of Syria's minority groups have supported the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad. They are fearful for their future if the country's majority Sunni Muslim community chooses an Islamist leadership to replace decades of secular rule.
Supporters of the government in Jaramana and other Damascus suburbs have set up armed vigilante groups - known as Popular Committees - to prevent attacks such as Wednesday's. On 29 October, 11 people were killed in a car bombing in Jaramana.

Elsewhere on Wednesday, activists posted video footage online apparently showing a government warplane being shot down by rebels over Darat Izza, in the northern province of Aleppo, and one of its pilots being captured.
Coming just a day after a helicopter was reported to have been brought down, it suggests that rebel fighters may be starting to obtain more effective weapons to counter the government's monopoly on air power, our correspondent says.
Fighter jets earlier bombarded rebel positions in the western Damascus suburb of Darayya, the SOHR said.
The government army also reportedly shelled Zabadani, a town in the mountains north-west of the capital.
Activists say more than 40,000 people have been killed since the uprising against President Assad began in March 2011.


Maandamano yalifanyika kote duniani kupinga Marekani

Mahakama nchini Misri imewapa hukumu ya kunyongwa watu saba walioshukiwa kuitengeza filamu iliyosababisha kero na ghadhabu katika ulimwengu wa kiisilamu mapema mwaka huu.
Hasira dhidi ya filamu hiyo iliyokuwa inamkejeli Mtume Mohammed, ilisababisha maandamano dhidi ya Marekani kiasi cha kuteketezwa ubalozi wake nchini Libya.
Washukiwa hao saba walihukumiwa wakiwa hawapo mahakamani.
Hukumu hizo ziliidhinishwa na Mufti mkuu nchini Misri ambaye pia ni msomi wa dini ya kiisilamu.
Mwandishi wa BBC anasema kuwa ni nadra kwa Mufti kupinga hukumu kama hizi.
Filamu hiyo iliyokuwa ya hali ya chini mno, ilitengezwa mjini Carlifonia, Marekani na kutolewa kwenye internet mwezi Septemba.
Miongoni mwa wale walioshtakiwa ni mtengezaji wa filamu yenyewe Morris Sadek ambaye ni raia wa Misri.
Mahakama itatoa hukumu ya mwisho mwezi Januari kufuatia itikio la Mufti.
Rais Mursi wa Misri anapingwa kwa kujilimbikizia madaraka

Majaji wa mahaka ya rufaa nchini Misri wanajiandaa kususia kazi na kuunga mkono waandamanaji dhidi ya rais wa misri Mohammed Morsi kujipa mamlaka zaidi.
Sheria ya kumapaka mamlaka zaidi rais Mursi ilipitishwa siku ya Alhamisi wiki jana. Sheria hiyo inampa mamlaka rais kuchukua hatua zozote kulinda mapinduzi na kusema kuwa hakuna mahakama yoyote inaweza kuamua vinginevyo.
Hatua hii ilizua hasira miongoni mwa wananchi kote Misri.
Polisi wamefyatua mabomu ya kutoa machozi kuwatawanya waandamanaji waliopiga kambi kwenye medani ya Tahrir kupinga uamuzi wa rais Morsi kujitangazia madaraka makubwa.
Picha za televisheni zimeonyesha waandamanaji walioficha nyuso wakiwarushia polisi mikebe ya mabomu hayo ya kutoa machozi.
Hapo jana waandamanaji hao walifanya maandamano na kuimba nyimbo za kumlaani Rais Morsi pamoja na vuguvugu lake la kiislamu la Muslim Brotherhood.
Walikesha usiku kucha katika medani ya Tahrir mjini Cairo kuelezea hasira zao dhidi ya tangazo la rais wao anayezingatia itikadi za kiislamu Mohammed Morsi kujipatia madaraka makubwa.
Walikesha wakiimba nyimbo za kumlaani rais pamoja na vuguvugu lake la kiislamu la Muslim Brotherhood.
Jana Jumanne, maelfu ya waandamanaji walifurika katika medani hiyo wakiandaa mandamano kadhaa huku wakisema watamkiuka rais Mursi huku wakipinga mamlaka aliyojilimbikizia.
Maandamano mengine ya kumpinga rais Morsi yamefanyika katika maeneo mbali mbali nchini humo.
Bwana Morsi amejaribu kumaliza mzozo huo kwa kuahidi kuwa madaraka yake yatakuwa na kikomo.
Vuguvugu la Muslim Brotherhood, ambalo bwana Mursi ni mwanachama, liliakhirisha mkutano wao siku ya Jumanne likisema linataka kuzuia taharuki kutanda miongoni mwa wanachi.
Waandamanaji wanasema Rais na chama chake cha Muslim Brotherhood wanajipatia mamlaka kinyume na sheria
Lakini lilisema linauwezo wa kukusanya mamilioni ya watu wanomuunga mkono rais wao.
Wanaomuunga mkono bwana Mursi wanasema kuwa sheria hiyo inahitajika ili kulinda mafanakio yaliyotokana na mapinduzi ya kiraia dhidi ya utawala wa Mubaraka na idara ya mahakama ambayo ilikuwa na watu wanaomuunga mkono rais aliyng'olewa mamlakani.
Waandamanaji wanasema kuwa vuguvugu la Muslim Brotherhood limeyateka nyara faida zilizotokana na mapinduzi ya kiraia. Source :BBC Swahili

The prevailing drought is reportedly causing pastoralists to invade protected areas.
This was said recently by the Acting Chief Park Warden of the Tarangire National Park, Dr. James Wakibara after impounding 493 heads of cattle and one donkey, all property of Gideon Mbuyu, a resident of Mswakini Juu Village, Monduli District.

He said that the challenge of pastoral communities invading protected areas has been so enormous especially in the southern part of the park where this problem has been persistent.


Dr. Wakibara said that on the day when the cattle were impounded, they got earlier information from  residents that there was a herd of  livestock grazing in the Park without any herdsman and when the rangers pursued they found the herd and brought it to the Park headquarters.

Impounded herd of cattle at the Tarangire National Park yard.

“The problem of pastoralists invasion of the national park has been persistent and we have been doing our best to educate them, but the challenge  is unabated, particularly during dry seasons when the livestock are left to graze rampantly and causing great damage, said Dr. Wakibara.

The  Acting Protection Warden, Ms. Beatrice Kessy said that they have been educating the community, but many of them claim that the incident is accidental.
She said that for such incident, the Parks regulations stipulates a fine of Shs. 10,000/= to 100,000/= per head, but due to the spirit of good neighbourliness, they only charged the owner Shs. 10,000/= per head.


The X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle is a US Air Force unmanned, space plane whose purpose is shrouded by secrecy. (Copyright: US Air Force)
As the US Air Force prepares for the third launch of its mysterious X-37B vehicle, BBC Future looks at what is known about the classified project.

In the early morning of 16 June, 2012, a top secret spaceplane made a picture perfect landing at the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. To those unfamiliar with the vehicle, it might have looked roughly similar to the US space shuttle, the manned spacecraft that shuttled astronauts into space for two decades.
But this spaceplane, called the X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle, is very different. While it looks like a plane, is launched on a rocket, has a cargo bay and uses some of the same technology as the shuttle, such as thermal shielding to protect it during reentry, it is smaller and unmanned. It is designed to stay in orbit for months on end and can automatically land back on Earth. Perhaps more crucially, the Boeing-designed plane is operated by the US Air Force and its mission is a closely held secret, prompting a slew of speculation about its true purpose.
Since the first X-37B was launched in 2010, amateur satellite spotters have carefully followed the robotic spacecraft’s orbit, while those unconnected with the program have speculated that the plane could be anything from an anti-satellite weapon to so-called “on demand reconnaissance,” shorthand for a spy satellite that can be placed over any country in the world. Compounding the mystery was the launch of a second vehicle in 2011, which stayed in orbit for 469 days, long exceeding the Air Force’s stated maximum requirement of 270 days for the spaceplane.
Now, a third launch is slated for 11 December, according to an Air Force spokesperson, once again ramping up the rumour mill. So, what do we actually know about the plane?
Tactical response
Early reports focused on the X-37B’s seeming resemblance, at least in size and weight, to the X-20 Dynasoar (short for Dynamic Soarer), a 1950s-era hypersonic vehicle that was envisioned for a variety of military missions, including bombing and sabotaging enemy satellites. However, experts familiar with the X-37B programme emphasized that its technology is actually closer to the recently retired space shuttle (a fact reinforced by Boeings’ proposal for a crewed version of the vehicle known as the X-37C). The Air Force blandly described the role of the X-37B in a factsheet given to media as a "reliable, reusable, unmanned space test platform”.
The Air Force also says the mini-shuttle has two objectives: testing “reusable spacecraft technologies” and conducting “experiments which can be returned to, and examined, on Earth”. Again, this is similar to the stated aims of the space shuttle. But many forget that earlier craft also had a secret military role. Although ostensibly a civilian program, it conducted a series of missions from 1982-1992 on behalf of the National Reconnaissance Office, carrying a series of classified spy satellites.
Similarly, most outside experts now agree that it’s likely the robotic space plane is being used for some sort of secret reconnaissance. “I think the guess that makes most sense is quick-response tactical imaging, meaning hours to a couple of days from request to delivery,” says Allen Thomson, a former CIA analyst.
Thomson says it is also possible that it could have a more mundane but useful task, such as “maintaining up-to-date general purpose mapping imagery.” However, if that is the case, Thomson says that it could be a waste of money. “I think that the commercial satellites could and should do that cheaper and better than X-37B,” he says. It is a view backed by parts of the scientific community.
Indeed, the X-37B launches comes in the middle of a larger debate about the role of government-operated spy satellites, which have proven enormously costly but can provide some of the most advanced imagery, versus commercial satellite imagery. The US intelligence community recently slashed its budget for commercial imagery, indicating that it was going back to greater reliance on its own classified satellites.

WATU zaidi ya mia moja katika kijiji Cha Ngabobo Wilayani Arumeru  Mkoani Arusha  hawana mahala pa kuishi baada ya nyumba zao kubomolewa na mvua kubwa iliyoambatana na upepo mkali katika eneo hilo.

Wakizungumza na waandishi wa habari wananchi hao walisema kuwa mvua hizo zilinyesha kwa muda wa nusu saa na kuangusha mamia ya miti ,kubomoa na kuharibu barabara na kusababisha mawasiliano katika eneo hilo kuwa magumu.

Mwenyekiti wa kijiji  hicho Zabulon Kimaki alisema kuwa tukio la limeacha  kaya zaidi ya  ishirini zenye watu mia  moja na  thelathini  zikiwa  hazina mahali pa kuishi.

 “Hali ilikuwa ya kushutua sana ,mvua hiyo ilikuwa sio ya kawaida lakini kibaya limesababisha watu takariban mia moja na ishirini kulala nje kutoakana na mabati ya nyumba zao kuezuliwa na upepo,hawajaweza hata kuokoa kpande cha bati na hatujui yalipo mapaa na bati zilizoezuliwa na upepo”alisema Kimaki.
Alisema kuwa watoto zaidi ya themanini wameshindwa kwenda shule kufuatia tukio hilo kusababisha kupoteza ama kuharibiwa vifaa vya shule kama vile  madaftari ,vitabu na sare za shule kusombwa na maji.

Alisema serikali inapaswa kuwapelekea huduma za kijamii wananchi hao ikiwemo mahema na chakula ili kuweza kuwasaidia kukabili hali waliyo nayo kwa sasa.

“Uongozi wa halmashauri ulifika jana hapa kungalia madhara yaliyotokea lakini hawajatoa chochote ila tunamshukuru Mbunge wa jimbo la Arumeru Mashariki Joshua Nassari kwa kutoa chakula ambacho kitawasaidia  wahanga hawa  kujikimu kwa siku chache”alisema Kimaki.

Mmoja wa wahanga wa tukio hilo Sambeke Saiteru alisema kuwa kwa sasa wanalala nje pamoja na familia yake hali ambayo imefanya watoto wake kuanza kuumwa kifua kuitokana na baridi kali nyakati za usiku.

Alieleza kuwa licha ya upepo kuezua paa la nyumba yake lakini pia maji yaliyotririka kwa wingi yaliingia ndani na kusomba vyakula na vyombo vya nyumbani na sasa kubaki bila chochote.
“Hapa nilipo nimebaki na nguo nilizovaa toka siku ya tukio ,hata watoto wangu saba nao hawana mavazi maji ya mvua ilisomba kila kitu hapa nyumbani,tungefurahi kupata msaada wa haraka kutoka serikalini”alisema Saiteru. 

Alisema kuwa tukio hilo limeacha hofu katika familia yake kwani lilitokea wakiwa ndani ya nyumba yao .
Mwananchi mwingine  Edward Ngoiyo alisema tukio hilo pia lilitokea akiwa na familia yake ndani ya nyumba ambapo alisema alishangaa kuona paa lote likipigwa na upepo na kuondolewa na kuchwa wakinyeshewa.
“Watoto wangu walichanganganyikiwa ,hali ilikuwa ni ya kutisha ,tumepoteza nguo vitabu vya watoto na wa kwangu wawili  wameshindwa kwenda shule kutokana na janga hili”alisema Ngoiyo.
Alisema kuwa kwa sasa anaishi na familia yake katika zizi la ngombe hali ambayo inaendelea kuhatarisha maisha yake  na familia aliyo nayo.

Alisema kuwa halmshauri walifika na Mbunge na kutoa msaada wa  chakula  kwa waathirika kwa kila mmoja kupata kilo mbili za mchele na sukari kilo moja.

“Tunaomba wafanye haraka kutuokoa katika hali hii ,hatukutarajia imetokea kwa kasi na ghafla na kufanya halii hii tuliyo nayo”alisema Ngoiyo.

Mkuu wa Wilaya ya Arumeru  Nyirembe  Munasa alithibitisha kutokea kwa tukio hilo na kusema kuwa tayari uongozi wa halimashauri ya Meru umekwishafika katika eneo la tukio kufanya tathmini ya madhra yaliyotokea.

“Ni kweli tukio limetokea ila mimi niko safarini ila nimekwisha  agiza uongozi wa halmashauri  kwenda katika eneo la tukio kufanya tathmini na kutoa msaada unaohitajika lakini pia Mbunge Joshua Nassari alifika na kutoa msaada wa chakula ”alisema Munasa.

Alisema katika timu hiyo ya halimashauri wapo watu wanaohusikama masuala ya maafa na wahandisi wa ujenzi wa halaimashauri hiyo.
