من هنا راحت زنجبار لما صارت الانتخابات واصبحت احزاب متنافسة حزب شيرازي وحزب القاف و وو.. واتبعت القومية العربية

[@tarrasteno]

يعني، أنت تتمنّى لو بقيت الديكتاتورية في زنجبار كما في الدول العربية المستبدّة لكي تبقي القومجية العربية تحكم رقاب الزنجباريين العجم كما حدث للأكراد و الأمازيغ و المصريين .... ؟ تخلّصهم من العرب هو أكبر هدية على الإطلاق. لو لم يتخلّصوا من العروبيين لأصبحوا الآن عربا رغما عن أنوفهم و قوما عربيا بدون إذنهم و بلدهم بلدا عربيا و أكلهم أكلا عربيا و مدنهم مدن الثقافة العربية و جيشهم جيشا عربيا و دولتهم دولة عربية و عالمهم عالما عربيا ... 😁😁😁😁

Original swahili is brown. what was happening are people who wanted to maintain a status quo of being high class yet being few in number and foreigners. Sina maneno mazuri kwa maarabu… ubaguzi… na wana baguana wao kwa wai.. yaani waarabu weusi hawakaribishwi katika nchi za kiarabu

[@ALIKHAMIS-un4fv]
