My Tanzania, Will You Let Me Down?

I am a citizen of a country, a beautiful country in the East coast of Africa. I don't call it beautiful because I have been grown up to call it that way. No!, I am calling it beautiful because in the 23 years of my life, i have travel, seen, and lived in many parts of it, witnessed first hand the diversity of it, and more than anything fall in love with it.

I have embraced the diversity that cuts across religions, tribes, and a lot of other things that make Tanzania one of the most beautiful country in Africa.The differences I have mentioned earlier have been a cause of conflicts that escalates to total chaos, violence and death of thousands of people in our neighbor states, through out other states across Africa the story has been the same. But it is the existence of these differences, tolerating them, and stay united through one identification among us, is what has made us sustain peace and unity through it all.
