Umrah Package: My Journey from Houston to the Holy Cities Booking an umrah package was the best decision I made this year. Living in Houston, I was surrounded by endless options, but choosing the right one felt overwhelming. I knew I wanted something spiritual, smooth, and sacred without stressing over logistics. This blog is a reflection of that journey, and I hope it guides others from Houston seeking a similar path. vist :https://blogg-booster.com/best-umrah-packages-from-usa-for-dallas-pilgrims/
Why Houston Is a Great Starting Point for Umrah
Houston is a vibrant city with a large Muslim community. That makes it easy to find packages that cater to every need.
From visa assistance to direct flights, everything is well-organized here. Many Houston-based agencies offer packages departing from major airports, which reduces travel hassles. I personally appreciated the direct access to seasoned travel consultants who understood my expectations.
What Makes a Good Umrah Package?
Not all packages are created equal. I realized this the hard way.
A good umrah package should cover more than flights and hotels. It should be a comprehensive experience spiritually enriching and logistically seamless. My focus was on finding a plan that included:
Visa processing
Roundtrip airfare
Hotel accommodation near Haram
Ground transportation
Daily guidance or group leaders
It took some comparing, but I found the best one with transparent services.
Exploring August Umrah Packages: Ideal for Families
August Umrah Packages are incredibly popular, especially for families.
This is often a time when school breaks or work flexibility allow families to travel together. I noticed many agencies offer tailored plans during this month. Some even include group pricing and children-friendly facilities. The summer break also means fewer crowds in some weeks, making it peaceful for personal worship.
One of the best things I enjoyed was seeing families doing tawaf together, united in faith.
Budgeting Your Umrah Trip from Houston
Let’s talk money because it's important.
My umrah package included everything from flights to accommodations, and the total cost was surprisingly affordable. I didn’t opt for luxury, but I didn’t compromise on cleanliness or proximity to the Haram either.
Booking early helped me get better rates. A few friends who waited until the last minute paid significantly more. I’d recommend comparing three to four packages before making a decision.
Choosing Between Group and Solo Umrah Packages
Both options have their perks.
Group packages from Houston often include guided tours, fixed itineraries, and companionship. For first-timers, this brings a sense of security. On the other hand, I preferred solo travel. Having the flexibility to schedule my day around my energy and spiritual focus felt empowering. It wasn’t lonely; it was liberating.
If you're a confident traveler, solo might be your calling.
My Experience Booking with Hajj Umrah 4U US
I booked my umrah package through Hajj Umrah 4U US, and the entire process was smooth.
From the initial inquiry to the post-arrival support, their professionalism stood out. They handled the documentation efficiently, guided me on packing essentials, and even checked in after I returned. That extra layer of care made a big difference.
No unnecessary delays, no hidden costs just genuine service.
Best Travel Tips for Umrah from Houston
Always carry a small power bank and extra Ihram
Learn basic Arabic phrases to navigate easily
Choose a hotel within walking distance to the Haram
Carry your own prayer mat
Hydrate often, especially during August Umrah Packages
These small steps made my trip easier and more focused.
What I Gained Beyond the Rituals
Performing Umrah wasn’t just about the rituals.
It was about the transformation I felt inside. Walking through Masjid al-Haram at dawn, seeing the Kaaba for the first time it moved me beyond words. The silence between prayers, the kindness of strangers, the spiritual clarity these moments left a lasting mark.
The convenience of the umrah package allowed me to focus on these experiences rather than logistics.
Houston Umrah Options Are Expanding
Every year, more travel agencies in Houston join the market.
That means better services, competitive pricing, and more package types. Whether you want a basic plan or something VIP, there’s an option for you. Some even offer female-led groups or youth-oriented plans.
I’m already planning to go again next year, insha’Allah.
Final Thoughts: Make It Your Journey
Your spiritual journey is yours to shape.
While August Umrah Packages offer great value, it’s not just about deals it's about preparation, intention, and presence. Find a package that supports your spiritual goals, not just your schedule.
If you're in Houston, you're in the right place to begin.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How early should I book my Umrah package from Houston?
I recommend booking at least 2–3 months in advance, especially if you're aiming for August Umrah Packages.
2. Can I customize my Umrah package?
Yes, many agencies allow customization whether it’s flight class, hotel level, or trip duration.
3. What documents are required for an Umrah visa from the US?
You’ll need a valid passport, passport-sized photos, a vaccination certificate, and a confirmed return ticket.

This Battle is Not Yours)
Exodus 14:13-15
Moses said to the Israelites, "Do not be afraid! Stand firm! Today you will see how the Lord will save you. The Egyptians you see today, you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."

When the Israelites reached the Red Sea, they thought they had come to the end. Looking back, they saw Pharaoh's army approaching and began to complain, wondering if there were no graves in Egypt that they should die there. They completely lost hope and forgot about the great deeds God had done by rescuing them from Pharaoh.

God, through Moses, told the Israelites that they would no longer see the Egyptians and that they would witness the salvation of the Lord. The Lord will fight for you; you need to be still.

And indeed, the Lord fought for them and separated them from the Egyptians, and they remained silent.

The Lord says, Our battles are not against flesh and blood, but against rulers and authorities of darkness. The problem is not with God; it is with us thinking we have the power to fight the battle without Him, which is not true at all.

What you first see when facing difficulties is your hope. A child of God must learn to return to God's feet for strength to win the battle.

Life is a battle, and the world is the battlefield. To succeed, you must choose a side. In this world, there are two main networks fighting: God and Satan. Your connection will determine what package you join.

An Example of Others God Fought For
2 Chronicles 20:15-17
When Jehoshaphat saw the approaching army that was larger than his own, he turned to God, praying for three days. During his prayers, the Lord revealed to him, Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for the battle is not yours, but God's.

Jehoshaphat remembered God's promises to Solomon, which assured him of where to find refuge.

Where do you turn when troubles arise? To mediums or to the God of your forefathers?

Once you are saved, learn to submit to God so that He becomes your friend. You won't see battles; they will see the God of your fathers.

If you are suffering right now, I am here to tell you to rise up and pray to see the salvation of the Lord. If your marriage is troubled, rise and pray to see the salvation of the Lord because that marriage is not yours; He is the one who established it.

The Lord will fight for you in your finances, and you will be still.

For the Lord to fight for you, the scriptures say, Know the Lord well, and good things will follow you.

Paul says we should wear the armor of faith and the Word to defeat the evil one. Remind God of His Word this morning so that He can fight for you.

Revelation 12:11
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

Through the blood of Jesus, we must win battles. Today, let us use the blood of Jesus as a powerful tool for overcoming and winning battles.

Thank you very much. If you ask how you can win battles, I want to tell you it is simple: What you need to do is CONFESS JESUS WITH YOUR MOUTH AND BELIEVE (YOU WILL BE SAVED). You will have the same rights to be fought for with Him.

If you are not saved and want to submit to the God who fights for Israel, who fought for Judah under Jehoshaphat, you can follow this prayer:

LORD JESUS, I COME TO YOU AS A SINNER. PLEASE FORGIVE MY SINS AND REMOVE MY NAME FROM THE BOOK OF DEATH AND WRITE MY NAME IN THE BOOK OF LIFE FROM NOW AND FOREVER.

If you follow this with faith, the Lord Jesus will be yours and will start fighting for you, to the point that you will be amazed.

Thank you. If you have been saved and want to continue learning and receiving spiritual help, you can contact me at 0622625340.

Have a blessed Sunday as we pray and seek the Lord's

Kwenye mahojiano na waandishi wa Habari , Fadlu alisema kuna uwezekano wa kuanza na washambuliaji wawili wa kati " UWEZEKANO " lakini akaona kama kikombe hakijpasuka kwanini ukitengeneze ? Kocha anajua muundo wake hauna shida bali ilibaki utekelezaji kwa wachezaji wake katika nyakati sahihi .

Sehemu ambayo Fadlu alibadilisha ni ndogo sana katika muundo wake timu hasa ikiwa inashumbulia :

1: Ni Position ya Kibu na Mpanzu . Mara nyingi huwa wanaombea mpira kwenye halfspace kabisa karibu na mabeki wa kati wa timu pinzani lakini leo walikuwa wanaanzia kupokea mpira katikati ya wingbacks na mabeki wa kati wa pembeni ( Outside CBs ) kwanini ?

2: Ili kutengeneza sintofahamu kubwa ya kimaamuzi baina ya hao mabeki wa kati wa pembeni na wingbacks wao , kwa maana wingbacks wa Al Masry hofu yao ni fullbacks wa Simba wanaopanda juu .

3: Fadlu alifanya hivyo ili kuwapa Kibu na Mpanzu " Shooting spaces" wawe katika nafasi bora za kupiga golini . Hii iliwezekana pia kwasababu ..

4: Ahoua alikuwa anajaribu sana kuwa karibu na Mukwala asimuache peke yake dhidi ya beki wa kati wa Al Masry .

5: Nafikiri hiki alichofanya Fadlu leo kimbinu kimeathiriwa sana na hali ya uwanja , vinginevyo ingekuwa jioni ndefu kwa Al Masry

Al Masry mpango wao ulikuwa ambao umezoeleka

1: Poteza sana muda kwa kucheza mechi ya taratibu

2. Zuia sana kulinda mtaji wake

3: Subiria , counter attack na mipira iliyokufa kupata goli la ugenini

✍🏻Kipindi cha pili , kasi ya mchezo ilipungua hasa kutoka kwa mwenyeji nafikiri pia ndio iliwapa Al Masry fursa na wao kuanza angalau kuunganisha hata pasi zao ( hapo nafikiri Simba walikuwa wanacheza moto , ni nafasi na kosa moja tu linaumua taswira nzima ya mechi )

NOTE

1: Siamini kama Al Masry waliamua kutaka penati bali hali ya mchezo iliwalazimisha , waliona kufunga kwao ngumu

2: Hamza anacheza kwenye " GIA " yake mwenyewe anayotaka na hakuna kitu unamfanya

3: Mukwala . Soma namba ya jezi ya beki basi beki yupo matatizoni

4: Mpanzu , sio kwamba hawakufanya Homework yao Al Masry bali vitu vingine unakubali yaishe

5: CAMARA. Unamuona tu golini hali ya kujiamini kubwa kwenye matuta

FT: Simba 2-0 Al Masry

Shirikisho la mpira wa miguu Duniani (FIFA), leo hii litakutana kuchakata kanuni mpya nne (4) ambazo zinaweza kuanza kutumika Julai 1, 2025 endepo zitapitishwa.

1. Kanuni ya Arsene Wenger:

Mchezaji atahesabiwa kuwa yuko "offside" ikiwa mwili wake mzima utapita Mchezaji wa mwisho. Ikumbukwe kwamba "offside" ya sasa ni kuwa Mchezaji anahesabiwa kuwa yupo "offside" endapo sehemu yake ndogo ya mwili au mwili mzima itampita Mchezaji wa mwisho.

2. Waamuzi (Refarii) kutoa ufafanuzi wa maamuzi yao kwa Watazamaji Uwanjani kwa kutumia kipaza sauti (Microphone):

Baada ya kushirikiana na VAR, Waamuzi wataelezea maamuzi yao kwa kutumia kipaza sauti kwa Watazamaji wote waliopo Uwanjani.

3. Challenge System:

NB : Wataweka idadi maalumu ya kuomba kutumia VAR na sio muda wote.

4. Waamuzi kusimamisha muda:

Waamuzi wataweza kusimamisha saa ili kuchunguza tukio lenye utata au wakati wa majeraha makubwa. Lengo: kuepuka kupoteza muda mwingi katika mpira wa miguu na kuhakikisha muda halisi wa kucheza unatumika.

NB : Hii itamika pia kwa wale Wachezaji ambao hupenda kupoteza muda kipindi anatolewa Uwanjani ili Mchezaji mwingine aingie.

KWANINI WAARABU HUWA HAWATEKI RAIA WA KUTOKA URUSI!????

Mkwara wa kibabe: Majasusi wa KGB walivyowafanya magaidi wa Hezbollah waliowateka diplomats wao wanne.

Picha za video za hivi karibuni zilizokuwa zikionesha jinsi wanahabari wa kimarekani bwana James Foley pamoja na Steven sotloff wakikatwa vichwa na magaidi wa ISIS inanikumbusha stori ambayo ilitokea nchini Lebanon mnamo mwaka 1985.

Mnamo mwezi wa tisa, tarehe 30, mwaka 1985, kundi la watu wenye silaha lilifanikiwa kuwateka nyara wanadiplomasia wanne wa Urusi pamoja na wafanyakazi wa ubalozi wa Urusi nchini Lebanon (Arkady Katkov, Valery Myrikov, Oleg Spirin pamoja na Nikolai Svirsky) katika mji mkuu wa Beirut.

Wakati wa tukio zima la utekaji nyara huo nje kabisa ya majengo ya ubalozi huo, bwana Katkov alijeruhiwa sehemu ya mguu wake wa kushoto.

Watekaji nyara hao walijiita ni "Jeshi la Khaled Al-Walid" pamoja na "Islamic Liberation Organization" (ILO). Kulingana na taarifa za idara ya ujasusi wa nje ya Urusi, kanali Yuri Perfilyev, ambaye kwa wakatu huo ndiye aliyekuwa shushushu mkazi (resident spy ama station chief) wa KGB nchini Lebanon, tukio zima la utekaji nyara lilipangwa na kuratibiwa kwa umakini mkubwa na jasusi katili sana wa magaidi wa Hezbollah bwana Imad Mugniyeh kama kujibu mapigo ya wanamgambo wanaoungwa mkono na serikali ya Syria katika mji wa Tripoli uliopo humo nchini Lebanon. Baada ya kuchukua mateka, magaidi hao wa kishiha wakaitaka kwa nguvu zote serikali ya Urusi kuilazimisha Syria kuacha mara moja kufanya mashambulizi ya kijeshi katika mji wa Tripoli na kuufunga haraka sana ubalozi wake uliopo mjini Beirut.

Ili kudhihirisha ya kwamba hawakuwa na masihara katika kutaka matakwa yao kutekelezwa, ndani ya siku mbili tu, gaidi mkuu Mugniyeh akamuua bila huruma mwanadiplomasia wa Urusi aliyekuwa amejeruhiwa bwana Katkov kwa kummiminia risasi za kutosha kwa SMG na kisha kuutupa mwili wake kwenye dampo la takataka hapo hapo jijini Beirut.

KGB station chief bwana Perfilyev kisha akaamua kukutana na bwana mkubwa Ayatollah Muhammad Fadlallah, kiongozi wa kidini wa washiha waishio nchini Lebanon kisha akamwambia;

"Taifa kubwa kamwe haliwezi kusubiri milele. Tutaacha kusubiri na kutazama na kuamua kuchukua hatua kali zitakazokuwa na madhara yasiyotabirika (mkwara huu......)

Baada ya kuona ayatollah Fadlallah bado tupo kimya, KGB station chief akazungumza kwa ukali sana safari hii akimwambia;

" Hatuzungumzii tu kuhusu watu wa Beirut. Ninazungumza kuhusu miji ya Tehran na Qom ambao ni mji mtakatifu wa washiha pamoja na makazi ya Ayatollah Khomeini, ambayo haipo mbali na mpaka wa Urusi.

Qom ipo karibu sana na Russia na makosa yanaweza kujitokeza na kombora linarusha kwa bahati mbaya. Makosa ya kiufundi yanaweza kutokea kwa bahati mbaya sana na tunaomba Mungu aepushie mbali janga hili"

Ayatollah Fadlallah ambaye alionekana anatetemeka sana kutokana na mkwara ule wa boss wa KGB akajibu baada ya kukaa kimya kwa muda mrefu akisema "ninafikiri mambo yote yataenda sawa sawia"

Baadaye mshauri wa karibu wa Ayatollah Fadlallah bwana Hassan akamwambia KGB boss ya kwamba hakuna mtu aliyewahi kuongea na kiongozi wetu mkuu wa dini kwa ukali wa namna hiyo.

Kutumia mbinu ya kutishia kushambulia moja kati ya miji kitakatifu sana ya watu wa dhehebu la shiha ilikuwa ni moja tu kati ya mikakati lukuki ya Urusi katika kutaka kuwakomboa diplomats wake, ila baada ya ukimya kuzidi kushika kasi KGB wakaamua kutoa somo la milele kwa magaidi wote wa kiarabu pale mashariki ya kati. Wanaume wa KGB walifanya ushenzi huu mpaka leo wanaogopwa sana na waarabu;

KGB walimteka mtu waliyejua fika alikuwa ni ndugu wa karibu saaaaana na kiongozi mashuhuri wa Hezbollah. Walimkata vipandevipande vya nyama, kisha wakaweza nyama zile kwenye mfuko na kisha kuvituma kwa viongozi wa juu wa Hezbollah.

Siku iliyofuata KGB wakakamata ndugu mwingine wa karibu sana wa kiongozi wa Hezbollah, wakamfumua ubongo wake kwa risasi, wakaweka kwenye kiroba, kisha wakapeleka mwili wake kwa viongozi wa magaidi hao.

Kama hio haitoshi kuonesha ya kwamba wapo serious sana na kazi zao, wababe wa KGB wakawaambia viongozi wa Hezbollah ya kwamba tunajua walipo ndugu zenu wengine wa karibu kabisa na kwamba wategemee vifurushi zaidi vya maiti ndani ya mifuko ya viroba kama wanadiplomasia hao watatu hawataachiwa huru mara moja.

Baada ya kuonea sasa wamegusa pabaya pasipogusika, viongozi wa Hezbollah wakachukua gari mpya na za kisasa sana aina ya BMW zinazokimbia kwa kasi kubwa sana, wakawabeba wanadiplomasia wale waliobaki hai, kisha kiwapeleka katika ubalozi wa Urusi mjini Beirut.

Tangia siku hiyo, hakuna mwanadiplomasia wala raia wa Urusi aliyewahi kutekwa nchini Lebanon.

Hivi ndivyo KGB ilivyokuwa ilifanya kazi. Walikuwa hawaongei mara mbili mbili.

****MWISHO****

TUJIKUMBUSHE MATUMIZI YA KALAMU KWA KUFUATA RANGI

Nakuja tu na maswali chokonozi

1. Hivi ni Kwa Nini Waalimu wanatumia kalamu ya rangi nyekundu na si bluu kama wanafunzi?

2. Ni Kwa Nini pia Maraisi ndio Huandikia peni nyekundu?
Kwa nini Wakaguzi aghalabu wa Hesabu hutumia peni ya kijani?
3. Vipi Kuhusu Kalamu Nyeusi?

nauliza hivi kwa sababu hizi rangi ukigeukia muktadha mwingine zinamaana tofauti sana mfano wengine husema unapotumia kalamu nyeusi inaa maana unatengeneza pesa na bluu maana yake unapoteza pesa ilihali nyekundu ikielekezwa zaidi kwenye mikosi

MAJADILIANO COMPILED

RANGI ZA KALAMU NA MATUMIZI YAKE .......@@!!!

Mara Nyingi sana tumekuwa tukitumia pen bila kujipa angalizo fulani hivi ama kujua mantiki yake ..................

1. Kalamu ya rangi ya Samawi/samawati (Bluu) ndiyo maarufu kutumika na wengi na hasa kwenye official document za kawaida (not mandated or authentic)
We basically have two choices when it comes to pens: black or blue. Unless you are a teacher in which case you get to use red as well........."Of course blue pens. Because they contrast better with the documents you're writing on..................The modern tradition is THAT only blue ink for all in Government.

2. Kalamu Nyeusi aghalabu hutumika kwenye miamala ya Kibiashara zaidi............."Black edges it on the grounds that it looks more professional and is a legal requirement for signing legal documents and form-filling............."Some entities are now requiring signatures in blue ink in order to differentiate the original from a copy.......Black ink is used ( where bold remarks are needed ) for business deals, display credit in a bank statement, headings etc.

3. Kalamu Nyekundu Aghalabu Hutumiwa na wenye Mamlaka Katika Kusaini Official Documents na hasa Sheria na Hati fulani fulani na mara nyingi anayeruhusiwa kutumia kalamu nyekundu ni Mh Rais na Waalimu katika kujitofautisha na wanafunzi na kuweka msisitizo zaidi kwenye masahihisho ingawa utafiti uliofanywa Marekani umewezesha kupelekea kupigwa marufuku kwa kalamu nyekundu kwa wanafunzi kutokana na wengi kutaarifu kwamba zinawatisha (psychological trauma)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2263874/Teachers-shouldnt-use-red-coloured-pens-mark-homework-like-shouting-upsets-pupils.html

4. Kalamu ya Chanikiwiti (KIJANI) inatakiwa kutumiwa na Wakaguzi na hasa wa HESABU, aghalabu Peni ya kijani hutumiwa pia na Mawaziri...Majaji....ma RCs na Kamishna wa kiapo...aghalabu wataalamu wa dawa/wafamasia pia hutumia kalamu ya kijani .....Green ink is used by very senior bureaucrats as well as Ministers to sign files indicating their approval....also green color pen are used by Managers, gazetted officers, Judges and big people. Green testifies the high position and no one can question the authenticity when signed by the green color.

5. Kimsingi na KISHERIA, UNATAKIWA KILA MTU KUWA NA PENI MAALUM YA SIGNATURE. tumewahi kupata kesi ya mtu ambaye saini yake ilidukuliwa na yeye kukiri dhahiri shari kwamba ni saini yake kabisaaaa ila kwenye utetezi akasema kwamba peni iliyotumika siyo peni yake kwani ana peni maalum ya kuweka saini nyaraka zake zote za kisheria
https://keetonsonline.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/how-to-choose-the-right-pen/

6. Si salama sana kutumia kalamu nyeusi kwenye maandishi meusi, kisheria hiyo ni kopi na si halisi, jitahidi sana kutumia kalamu ya bluu kwenye maandishi meusi na hasa typed (Many copiers are so good now that black ink can look like part of a photocopy."-

7. Ball Pen ndiyo offical pen kwa nchi nyingi duniani. kumbuka Kama unatumia 'jel pen' basi ukitumia 'ball pen' mwandiko 'kitaalamu' unatofautiana (hasa kama kalamu hizo zikiwa na ukubwa wa maandishi unaotofautiana.)
"bic, speedo, cello, etc" ndio ballpoint pens.Na jell pens ni kama zile kalamu za zamani za kuchovya wino "tulikuwa tunaziita fountain - ambazo siku hizi zimeboreshwa zinawekewa wino.

8. Kuna Baadhi ya nchi;
i. mwanafunz unaruhusiwa kuandika kwa penseli na kalamu ya rangi yeyote ile (bluu, kijani, nyekundu, nk).

ii. Hawaruhusu kuweka sahihi (signature) kwa kalamu ya rangi nyingine yeyote ile isipokuwa 'bluu'. Kuna sehemu zingine hata kujaza fomu iliyochapwa ni lazima utumie kalamu ya rangi ya bluu......kalamu ya bluu ndiyo inayotambulika duniani kote (official pen)

iii. Wanatumia kalamu nyekundu kuandika jina la mtu aliyefariki (marehemu). Yaani hairuhusiwi na huwezi kuandika jina la mtu aliyehai kwa kalamu nyekundu.Mathalani ukiwa Ureno na unatumia kalamu nyekundu unahesabika ni mkaidi ama mleta mikosi ( It's considered rude to write in red ink in Portugal.)

iv: Jeshi la Marekani utatumia rangi kulingana na wadhifa (rank) wako Jeshini
In US Navy there is a long tradition of prescribed ink colors for officers - blue color for officers, black color for departmental heads, green color for Executive officers and red color for commanding officers.

v. Huko Ujerumani, rangi ya Hudhurungi (Brown) hutumika kuweka saini HUKUMU YA KIFO ILIHALI huko Pakistan wao hutumia kalamu nyekundu kwa lengo hilohilo-Brown color ink is used to sign death warrants in Germany and red color ink was used for same purpose in Pakistan.

mfano nchi ya Australia officials pen ni NYEUSI TU! hata baadh ya benki hapa kwetu mfano NBC official pen ni nyeusi ingawa pia si salama sana kisheria .....NMB official ink ni blue,kwa documents zao....tofauti na hapo....hupokelewi.
Exim.....nyeusi na blue, CRDB.....Blue ama nyeusi; nyekundu, kwa wenye uoni hafifu na maafisa wa benki hasa kuthibitisha nyaraka

MJUE JASUSI(intelejinsia) PAUL KAGAME SIMBA WA VITA.
(Aliyeiweka Uganda Kiganjani Mwake).

Unaposikia jina Paul Kagame kama mwana diplomasia mbobezi lazima ushtuke, Huyu jamaa ni mtu hatari sana katika uwanja wa vita. Ni moja ya majasusi wachache wanao ingia mapambanoni wenyewe bila kuangalia vyeo vyao.
Ikumbukwe kwamba Paul Kagame alikuwa na ushawishi mkubwa kwenye jeshi la Uganda kutokana na umahiri wake wa intelejinsia. Kwann ipo hivi? Kagame ndie aliyeshiriki kumuondoa Idd Amin na ndie aliyeshiriki Kumuweka madarakani Museveni na pia ndie aliyeshiriki kuliasisi na kuliunda jeshi la Uganda Kwa hiyo yeye ndo alkuwa anawashauri nani anafaa kuwa Rais au hafai. Haya sasa twende.

Baada ya vita ya Kagera, Tanzania wakamsimika Yusuf Lule kuwa Rais wa nchi ya Uganda. Kina Museveni wakaanzisha chombo chao cha kijeshi National Consultative Commission(NCC) hiki chombo ndo walikifanya kuwa na maamuzi ya mwisho ya nchi. Miezi miwili tu baada ya Tanzania kumsimika Yusufu Lule kuwa Rais kukatokea mvutano kati yake na NCC. NCC ya kina Museveni waliona Rais anavuka mipaka yake huku Rais Lule hatak nch iongozwe kijeshi.

Hatimaye june 10 1979 Kwa ushawishi wa Museveni kiongozi wa NCC wakamuondoa Lule na kumuweka Godfrey Binaisa kuwa Rais wa nchi. Kimsingi Binaisa alikuwa km kikaragosi tu lakini maamuzi yote ya nchi yanatoka kwa NCC. Lakini Binaisa utamu wa Urais ulimkolea akavimba kichwa akamfukuza manadhimu mkuu wa jeshi Ojok baada ya kuhisi atapinduliwa. Kitendo hiki kiliwaumiza sana NCC na wakamuondoa Godfrey Binaisa na kuunda tume maalum iliyoitwa Presidential commission iliyofanya kazi kuongoza nchi baadala ya Rais.

Baada ya migogoro mingi hapo ndipo umahiri wa Kagame ukaonekana kwa mara nyingine tena baada ya ule wa Kagame aliyeshiriki kumuondoa Dikteta Idd Amin Dada. Maana Kagame aliona Vita ya Panzi furaha kwa kunguru. Pia kumbuka yote yanatokea bado Kagame alkuwa na ushauri mkubwa wa kijeshi Uganda kutokana na umahiri wake wa kiintelejinsia.

Milton Obote baada ya kushinda Urais 1980 kina Museveni hawakufurahia ushindi wake, ndipo Yoweri Museveni na Paul kagame Wakajitenga NCC na UNLA japokuwa walikuwa na ushawishi mkubwa juu ya vyombo hivyo. Ndipo Yoweri Museveni, Paul Kagame, Fred Rwigyema na waganda wengine 37 walianzisha chombo chao cha kijeshi kilichoitwa National Resistance Army(NRA) ili wampindue Rais.

Kikundi hiki kilikimbilia msituni na kuanzisha mapigano makali kwa miaka sita dhidi ya majeshi ya serikali, pamoja na udogo wake(japo baadae waliongezeka arobaini wa awali) lakini kiliyachosha majeshi ya serikali kwa miaka sita. Miaka hii sita ya mapambano dhidi ya majeshi ya serikali yalidhihirisha unguli wa Paul Kagame nguli wa 'Physical Werfare' pia baadae ulidhihirika kweny mauaji ya kimbari, baada, nikipata uhai nitaelezea.

Kwa miaka yote ya vita Paul Kagame alikuwa kiungo muhimu sana na aliheshimika sana na wapiganaji wenzake kuliko hata Museveni mwenyewe. Nyadhifa zao NRA zilikaribia kwenye usawa mmoja.

Majeshi ya serikali yalikuwa na hali tete kupelekea askari wa miguu kuomba serikali isitishe mapigano maana walikuwa wanakufa wengi Lakini serikili ikanya ngumu kukakataa kusikiliza askari wake. Wanasema la kuvunda halina ubani. Desemba 1980 Mkuu wa majeshi ya Uganda jenerali Oyite Ojok alikufa kwa ajali ya ndege ambayo kuna kila dalili ya mkono wa Kagame.

Baada ya Jenerali kufariki aliyetegemewa sana na Rais Obote badala ya kumteua waliotegemewa Tito Okello au Bazilio Olara okello ambaye alishiriki kumuondoa Idd Amin hatimaye akamteua askari wa chini kabisa anayetoka nae kabila moja. Hali hii iliwauzi Jeshi la serikali na waganda Na ndipo miaka 2 baadae jeshi likampindua Milton Obote na jeshi kushika nchi na kuanzisha mapambano dhidi ya vikundi vya msituni kila kimoja kikitaka kuongoza nchi. Ndipo yalifanyija maongezi nchini Kenya baina ya vikundi vyote vya msituni na serikali chini ya Rais Daniel Arap Moi ili kuleta Suluhu na kuweka muelekeo mpya wa nchi ya Uganda.

29 januari 1986 Yoweri Kaguta Museveni akaapishws kuwa Rais mpya wa Uganda. Paul Kagame akateuliwa na Rais kuwa Chief Millitary Intelligence(Mkuu wa usalama wa Jeshi Uganda) na swahiba wake Fred Rwigyema kuwa waziri wa ulinzi. Kutokana na ushawishi wa kagame uganda ilipelekea baraza la mawaziri kujaa watusi kabila la kagame. Kwa maana nyingine twasema Kagame aliiweka Uganda kiganjani mwake japo hakuwa Rais. Mtandao mkubwa alioujenga ndani ya serikal ya Uganda, baraza la mawaziri na jeshi alikuwa na nguvu kumzidi Rais Yoweri Museveni. Uzuri ni kwamba Museveni aliujua umahiri wa kagame kijasusi na hakutaka mvutano nae maana alijua lengo lake lipi. Kagame hakuwa na nia ya Urais wa Uganda wala kuendelea kuliendesha jeshi la uganda. Bali alitaka kuwakomboa ndugu zake watusi waliokuwa wanateseka Rwanda.

Na sasa alikuwa amekamilika kila kitu. Alikuwa na uzoefu wa kutosha, alikuwa na weledi wa kutosha. Tunathubutu kusema kwamba kwa kipindi hiki hakuna ambaye aliyekuwa anaweza kufikia daraja la juu la umahiri wa Kagame katika masuala ya Ujasusi Afrika Mashariki na Kati. Pia alikuwa na ushawishi katika nchi za kimkakati zinazopakana na Rwanda kama Kongo aliwapeleka wapiganaji wa NRA kupata mafunzo ya Special Force kipindi cha mapigano cha miaka 6 msituni dhidi ya majeshi ya serikali Obote.

Pia alikuwa na ushawishi Tanzania(mtoto wetu tuliyemfunza wenyewe Ujasusi na alitusaidia sana kwenye vita ya Kagera).

Mbele yake alikuwa na jambo moja tu kabla ya kuondoka kwenye uso wa Dunia ni kuiweka Rwanda mikononi mwake.

NOTE: Mungu akinipa uhai nitawaletea Harakati za Kagame kuyamaliza mauaji ya Wahutu na watusi, kimbali hadi Kuwa Rais wa Rwanda.

Ahsante kwa Utiifu Wako.

Najua mpaka sasa umeisikia sana ile GUSA ACHIA TWENDE KWAO. Ningependa nikupe uhondo wake kidogo, msingi wake ni upi na ufanisi wake unatokana na nini?

Ally Kamwe kama muasisi wa Gusa twende kwao alijaribu kuaminisha wanaYanga kuwa falsafa ya Ramovic ni pira matokeo, lenye speed, na ufanisi wa hali ya juu huku likiambatana na burudani isiyoisha hamu.

Je unajua ili GUSA ACHIA TWENDE KWAO iwe na ufanisi kinahitajika nini?

Kuna watu lazima wawepo nyuma ya hii falsafa. Mtu wa kwanza wa muhimu zaidi baada ya kocha mkuu Ramovic, ni kocha wa utimamu wa mwili (Fitness coach). Hapa namuongelea mtu ambae atawafanya wachezaji wa Yanga wakimbie kama vishada, wafukie mashimo uwanjani, na kuweza kuzimudu dakika 90 bila kuchoka. Mpaka hapa tumeelewana?

Yanga haijapoteza mechi yoyote ya ligi kuu mpaka sasa tangu Ramovic atue nchini. Na alisema wazi ili falsafa ya soka lake lianze kutoa matunda anahitaji wachezaji wake wote wawe vizuri kwenye fitness. Yanga ikaingia sokoni, kusaka mtaalamu wa kutengeneza utamu wa Ramovic. Yanga ikamshusha mtaalamu ADNAN BEHLULOVIC - Fitness coach wa Yanga.

Nyuma ya pazia la Ramovic na matokeo mazuri ya ligi kuu mpka sasa huwezi kuacha kumtaja Bwana Adnan.

Pressing ambayo anasifiwa Yanga, inayofanya wapinzani wanafanya makosa, nyuma yake yupo ADNAN.

Speed na ufanisi wa Yanga kwenye kushambulia bila kuchoka, nyuma ya hayo yote yupo ADNAN.

Zinachezwa dakika 90 huioni Yanga kama imechoka, kila mchezaji unaona kuwa bado ana hamu ya kuendelea kutwanga dakika zingine 90. ADNAN hajamaliza hata mwezi tangu aanze operesheni rudisha ufiti ndani ya Yanga, huyu kocha wa Fitness siku akimaliza mwezi Yanga ikafikia asilimia 100 ya ufiti nina uhakika kuna timu zitapasuliwa vifua.

Side wa kijerumani ataimbwa sana, kwa sababu silaha moja ya timu yoyote ni kuwa fiti. Speed ya Yanga imeniogopesha, Pressing yao imeniogopesha, ubora wa Adnan umeniogopesha.

Shida nyingine imewasili hapa mjini,timu nyingi zimenza kunyanyasika zikikutana na Yanga.

Chini ya makocha wawili waliopita (Nabi & Gamond) Yanga walicheza mpira wa pasi nyingi,Yanga walikuwa na utaratibu wa kuwatongoza wapinzani kwa pasi nyingi kabla ya kufunga magoli (TIP TAP FOOTBALL) ila chini ya Ramovic tunashuhudia pira “Gegen-Pressing” au kwa kizungu tunasema “Counter-pressing).

-Yanga ya Ramovic haitaki pasi 10 kufika kwenye lango la mpinzani,badala yake inahitaji pasi tatu hadi nne kufika kwako na kukufunga

-Yanga ya Ramovic haitaki back-pass wala Sideway pass,mchezaji akiiba mpira ni kwenda mbele Yanga wako direct sana

-Yanga ya Ramovic haipigi cross nyingi za juu,badala yake mashambulizi mengi yanatokea pembeni kwa fullbacks na wingers kisha zinapigwa V-pass kwenye 12 na viungo washambuliaji wanafunga…..rejea magoli mawili ya Pacome leo

JINSI GANI YANGA WANAWEKA MTEGO KABLA YA KUFANYA PRESSING?

Mara nyingi tumezoea kuona mstari wa kwanza wa namba 9 na 10 ukianzisha pressing kwa walinzi wa timu pinzani,ila Yanga ya Ramovic,inasubiri wapinzani wafike kati kati ya uwanja kisha viungo wazuiaji (Aucho na Muda) wanaweka pressure kwa mchezaji mwenye mpira huku walinzi wa kati (Job na Bacca) wakisogea kati kati ya uwanja kukata passing option…..baada ya kuiba mpira unapigwa pembeni kwa mawinga na fullbacks kisha shambulizi linaanzia hapo

Ndugu zangu huu mpira wa Yanga una magoli mengi ya “Turnovers” wapinzani wanafanyishwa makosa mengi na kuhadhibiwa.

FT Yanga 5-0 Fountain Gate.
