\u201cTunanyimwa upya wa pasipoti ya Mo\u00efse Katumbi kwa sababu yeye ni Mswahili,\u201d alisema Kitoko wakati wa mkutano na waandishi wa habari mjini Kinshasa. \u201cHuu ni uvunjaji wa haki za binadamu na tishio kwa mshikamano wa kitaifa.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mazingira ya kisiasa yenye msukosuko<\/p>\n
Kauli hiyo inatolewa wakati ambapo hali ya kisiasa nchini DRC imejaa mvutano, hasa kuelekea uchaguzi wa ngazi mbalimbali. Mo\u00efse Katumbi, kiongozi wa chama cha Ensemble pour la R\u00e9publique, amekuwa akikumbana na vizuizi vya kiserikali vinavyoonekana kulenga kumzuia kisiasa.<\/p>\n
Kwa mujibu wa wasaidizi wake, maombi yake ya upya wa pasipoti yamekwama kwa miezi kadhaa, hali inayomzuia kusafiri nje ya nchi. Ingawa hakuna tamko rasmi kutoka kwa mamlaka kama Wizara ya Mambo ya Ndani au Idara ya Uhamiaji (DGM), hali hiyo imeibua wasiwasi kuwa kuna njama ya kumdhibiti kisiasa.<\/p>\n
Maswali kuhusu hadhi ya Waswahili nchini<\/p>\n
Henri Moussa Kitoko alitumia fursa hiyo kuzungumzia hali ya kutengwa kwa wasemaji wa Kiswahili nchini, hasa kutoka maeneo ya mashariki na kusini-mashariki ya DRC. Alisema kuwa kuna dhana potofu inayowafanya Waswahili kuonekana kama si Wacongo wa kweli.<\/p>\n
\u201cDRC ina lugha nne za kitaifa, lakini ni wazi kuwa Kiswahili na wasemaji wake mara nyingi huwekwa pembeni katika uongozi na maamuzi ya kitaifa. Hili ni tatizo la muda mrefu ambalo Katumbi sasa analionja hadharani,\u201d alisema Kitoko.<\/p>\n
Maoni tofauti<\/p>\n
Kauli ya Kitoko imezua mjadala mkubwa kwenye mitandao ya kijamii. Wengine wamemsifu kwa kuthubutu kusema ukweli unaoumiza, ilhali wengine wamemkosoa kwa kuingiza ukabila katika masuala ya kisiasa.<\/p>\n
Kwa upande wa serikali, bado hakuna kauli rasmi. Hata hivyo, vyanzo kutoka ndani ya utawala vinasema kuna \u201cuchunguzi unaoendelea kuhusu uraia wa Katumbi\u201d madai yanayojirudia mara kwa mara kila anapotaka kushiriki kikamilifu katika siasa za kitaifa.<\/p>\n
Jambo la msingi: uraia na usawa<\/p>\n
Kesi ya Mo\u00efse Katumbi imeibua mjadala mpana juu ya uraia wa Wacongo: Je, mtu anaweza kunyimwa haki za msingi kwa misingi ya lugha au asili yake? Kwa Henri Moussa Kitoko, hili ni suala la msingi kuhusu haki na usawa:<\/p>\n
\u201cKama mtu kama Katumbi aliyewahi kuwa gavana na mgombea urais \u00a0ananyimwa pasipoti, basi hali ya Waswahili wa kawaida ikoje?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Kwa mara nyingine, suala la utambulisho, usawa na haki za raia wote linarejea mezani, huku mashirika ya kiraia na wananchi wakihimizwa kulinda misingi ya taifa jumuishi na lenye haki kwa wote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
