Tanzania announces 'surveillance squad' to hunt down homosexuals - Sensationalist Headlines

Residents in Tanzania’s biggest city have been urged to inform on their neighbours and friends ahead of a police operation to hunt down and jail homosexuals. A 17-member committee appointed by Paul Makonda, Dar es Salaam’s powerful regional commissioner, will attempt to identify all gay men living in the coastal city after it first convenes next Monday. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/11/01/tanzania-announces-surveillance-squad-hunt-homosexuals/

Gaydar had gone too far.

>Acknowledging the potential for a backlash from the West if homosexuals are detained en masse, Mr Makonda said: “I prefer to anger these countries than to anger God.” >“I prefer to anger these countries than to anger God.” Terrifying words from a person in power

Shock, backwards third world country with more important issues to deal with has moronic views.

This is real? This sounds like a joke article. What the fuck

It's an African State. This honestly neither new,unexpected or even that surprising.

Better catch all the sinful gays before they eat the poopoo right? Christ...

What fucking year are they living in, early 1600s or some shit? Rather anger a country than God? Oh yeah sure, rather anger an idea than people who can actually do something and you know, exist in a physical sense.

This is quite tame actually: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1k259kKSxk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrxQYbk2LBI

Inb4 "angsty atheist!!!" but Africa and America are two full continents where the first and biggest step towards fixing shit, is taking their evil, maniacal, deeply satanistic view of christianity from them and leaving them with nothing but common decency. I cannot believe some of the groups or denominations in this world that profess christian values, yet practice open satanism so delusionally.

thank you christian right wing organizations for spreading homophobia to africa.

Africa is a one big joke.

I'm mean I'm a Christian and I'm agreeing with you.

Paul Makonda, governor of the economic capital Dar es Salaam, had told reporters the round-ups would begin on Monday. Following that announcement the US warned its citizens living in Tanzania to exercise caution by removing or hiding "images and language that may run afoul of Tanzanian laws regarding homosexual practices and explicit sexual activity". Tanzania's foreign ministry said yesterday that the governor's actions did not represent the government's stance, but it is unclear if the round-ups will be called off as a result: "Mr Makonda was only airing his personal opinion which does not represent the official position of the United Republic of Tanzania... The United Republic of Tanzania will also continue to respect and uphold all human rights as provided for in the country’s constitution."

Something tells me this isn't covered in that human rights section...
