- Course participants from the National Defence College of Tanzania met with the management of Tanzania National Parks and discuss various issues related to tourism sector and its implications to the national security.
A delegation of six senior
officials from various government organs were briefed by the Director
General of TANAPA Allan Kijazi that currently TANAPA is embarking on
exploring new emerging markets of Russia; Japan; China and India where
Tanzanian embassies have been financially facilitated to promote tourist
attractions in the parks and thus be able to attract more visitors.
During the discussion the
delegation was eagerly to know on the status of the poaching crisis in
the parks. Mr. Kijazi briefed the course participants that poaching has
now moved from subsistence poaching to commercial poaching where there
is now an international network which facilitates poaching activities by
offering substantial amount of money and other necessary resources. The
already available market for the poached stuffs also triggered the
crisis.
However, a delegation from NDC was
told that TANAPA is currently putting more emphasis on the intelligence
aspect which helps in gathering information regarding poaching to as
far as outside its boundaries as a proactive initiative. “We are also
equipping our park rangers with modern techniques by conducting
trainings as well as buying them modern weapons to use in the
field” said Kijazi.
National Defence College is an
inter-service (defence-civil) which was established with an aim to equip
Defence and Government policy markers with requisite economical;
political; military; scientific; international relations and national
knowledge necessary for understanding of national security in its
internal and external dynamics.
The delegation in Arusha comprised
of Colonel Sylvester Minja who is a College Secretary and the Course
Participants were Brigadier General Clemence Kahama; Colonel Richard
Makanzo; Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police Abdulrahman Kaniki;
Assistant Commissioner of Prison Charles Mkumbo and Mr. Hassan Kombo. Canzo;Fullshangwe Blog
