NIDA targets three million Dar residents by next April

Tanzania’s National Identification Authority (NIDA) is 

planning to register more than 2,900,000 residents in 

Dar es Salaam by the end of April next year.

Speaking in Dar es Salaam on Friday NIDA Head of Communication

 and Documentation Unit, Thomas William, said NIDA has registered

 more than 600,000 people in Temeke District and they are expect 

to register to more people in the coming weeks.

After Temeke the exercise would be continued in Ilala and Kinondoni

 municipalities, he said adding that fingerprints and photos for all ID

 bearers would be taken to ease future identification process of

 individuals. Identifying individuals who live and work in Tanzania 

is paramount to ensuring their safety, especially given the number 

of undocumented refugees who have trickled into Tanzania from 

war-torn neighbouring countries over the years.

William reminded the public to follow rules and procedures that bind

 them in the registration process by bringing with them certified copies 

that verified their age and citizenship such as birth certificate, passport,

 education certificate, driving license, national health identification or

 national identification.

He said the exercise will go simultaneously with form registration for 

those who did not register themselves in the first round of form registration

He has also acknowledged the contribution by media organs to raise 

awareness to the people on the campaign for the national identification 

registration.

He however said one of the challenges facing them is lack of electricity

 in some of the registered areas.

President Kikwete recently issued a warning, when launching the

 long-awaited national ID cards, by stressing that he would not allow 

the IDs to be issued to foreigners, a violation committed by some

 immigration officials in case with the national passports.

The President also warned the Registration, Insolvency and Trusteeship 

Agency (RITA) to be vigilant as there will be a scramble for birth 

certificates, as people register for the National ID cards.

Heavy Casualties in Eastern Congo Fighting

GOMA, DRC — Rebel and government forces in

 eastern Democratic Republic of Congo suffered 

heavy casualties in a fifth day of fighting north of the

 city of Goma.  A doctor near the front line said Sunday

 medical services are overwhelmed by the number of wounded. 

Fighting between the government army and M23 rebels 

raged overnight Saturday through Sunday at Mujoga,

 about 17 kilometers north of Goma.

Doctor Isaac Warwanamiza told VOA by phone he was 

at a field hospital with Tanzanian U.N. troops who are 

waiting to go up to the front line, and all around 

him were dead and wounded.  He said he estimates the

 number of dead that he has seen at the 

hospital since Sunday morning at 82.

This is not the only transit center for casualties from the

 fighting between the army and the M23, so the doctor's 

figure is not a total for the day.

And he could not be sure of the figure. "I can not really count

 them, he says, because sometimes you think you have got

 one person, but then you find four arms, 

or five hands and you realize you are looking at a mixture 

of different people’s body parts," he said.

Warwanamiza said he had treated 54 wounded by

 midday Sunday.  He said he was treating government

 troops and rebels. "Here I am looking at M23 rebels,"

 he said, "and government wounded as well.  If the

 rebels are badly wounded, he adds, we leave them."

The doctor said this had been the worst day since

 the fighting resumed on Wednesday and he was

 overwhelmed by what he has seen.

A chaplain at a military hospital in Goma, Leah Masika, 

confirmed there were heavy casualties Sunday.

It was not immediately possible to contact official army or

 M23 spokesmen to get their reaction to these figures.

The fighting Sunday appears to have been at close 

quarters, as little heavy weapons fire could be heard 

near the front line.  Since Wednesday the army and 

U.N. troops have been battling to dislodge the M23

 from heights overlooking Goma.

Local sources estimate the army has advanced about 

two kilometers since Wednesday, but have yet to achieve

 their immediate objective.

Warwanamiza said the ground they have captured Sunday

 should be measured in meters, not kilometers, but the

 government troops have advanced.

M23 controls a narrow strip of territory along the Rwanda

 and Ugandan borders about 100 kilometers north to south

 and may have only about 2,000 fighters. 

 The United Nations has accused Rwanda of reinforcing the rebels.  Rwanda denies the accusation

Egypt arrests Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Ahmed Arif

Former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, 85, has been held since shortly after he was removed from power in 2011. He was convicted last year on charges of inciting violence against protesters during the popular uprising the led to his ouster and, eventually, the elections that brought Mohammed Morsy to power. He was sentenced to life in prison but appealed, and a retrial was granted early this year

 Egypt's interim military government extended its crackdown on the Muslim Brotherhood on Thursday, arresting the group's spokesman, state-run television al-Masriya reported.

Ahmed Arif is the latest key member of the group to be taken into custody.

Earlier in the week, the military arrested Mohamed Badie, the group's spiritual leader, and Safwat Hegazy, a preacher and hardline supporter of the movement. They were among about 100 members of the Muslim Brotherhood taken into custody on Tuesday.

Ousted President Mohamed Morsy has been held since early July.

The latest developments come hours after state-run media outlet Al-Ahram reported that an Egyptian court has ordered the release of deposed leader Hosni Mubarak.

Egypt's General Prosecutor has said he will not appeal to keep Mubarak in custody, state media reported Wednesday, clearing the way for him to be released. However, it is not clear how soon this could come.

State-run TV channel Al-Masriya cited a lawyer for Mubarak as saying he may be released as soon as Thursday.

What happened to the Arab Spring?

While the criminal case against Mubarak -- accused of involvement in the deaths of protesters calling for his ouster -- remains alive, news that a court has ordered him released pending retrial has some asking whether Egypt's Arab Spring moment was all for naught.

It's a good question, says Robin Wright, a Middle East analyst with the Woodrow Wilson Center. But it may also be premature.

While she says Mubarak's pending release is an "extraordinary development" and a "potent symbol," its impact could be muted by the long list of worries Egyptians are already dealing with on the ground -- violence, curfews, economic woes.

"It may not play as big there as it does here," she said.

The 85-year-old Mubarak has been held since shortly after he was removed from power in 2011. He was convicted last year on charges of inciting violence against protesters during the popular uprising that led to his ouster and, eventually, the elections that brought Morsy to power.

Muslim Brotherhood's spiritual leader is arrested in Egypt

He was sentenced to life in prison but appealed, and a retrial was granted early this year.

While he still faces a retrial on that charge, state-run media outlet Al-Ahram reported Wednesday that an Egyptian court ordered the deposed leader freed in a separate corruption case.

The court ordered Mubarak's release because he has been held past the maximum time he can be detained before being convicted.

Egypt's military issued a decree to place Mubarak under house arrest, state-run Masriya TV reported. He would be required to remain in the country.

Unrest in Egypt

Mubarak's impending release comes at a time of turmoil in Egypt, where an interim military government has been in charge since Mubarak's successor, Mohamed Morsy of the Muslim Brotherhood, was ousted as president last month.

Over the past week, about 900 people -- security personnel as well as citizens -- have been killed. Deaths occurred when the military used force to clear two pro-Morsy sit-in sites in Cairo on Wednesday last week and violence raged after pro-Morsy supporters staged demonstrations Friday.

Mubarak ruled Egypt, the most populous Arab country, for three decades until demonstrators opposing his rule forced his ouster in 2011 as part of the Arab Spring revolutions across Africa and the Middle East.

Life during chaos: Egyptians talk about coping

Tamarod, the anti-Morsy protest movement which called for the mass rallies that led to his ouster, said it was not surprised by the ruling on Mubarak's release.

In a statement on its official website, the group blamed Morsy's administration for failing to do enough to push Mubarak's trial forward.

The group called for a retrial of the former president, with new evidence before the court, and for Morsy to be put on trial as well.

The military, which has governed Egypt since forcing Morsy out of office, continues to hold him in detention and controls the judiciary.

Chinese women fight to shake off 'leftover' label

Women's rights in China

Editor's note: This month's episode of "On China" with Kristie Lu Stout examines Chinese women's rights, roles and dreams.

Hong Kong (CNN) -- On the face of it, women in China seem to have cracked the code for success.

Seven of world's top 10 wealthiest self-made women are Chinese.Property tycoon Zhang Xin is richer than Oprah. And a girl-power chick flick called "Tiny Times" broke the mainland's opening-day box office record earlier this summer.

But don't let the headlines fool you. In China, as in many other corners of the world, women are under pressure, under-represented, and under threat.

A preference for boys under China's one-child policy continues to this day. Access to cheap ultrasound and and abortions has led to widespread selective abortion of female fetuses. According to the China Statistics Bureau, there are now 34 million more men than women in China.

Marital property rights in China

What is 'love' in China?

Who are China's 'leftover women?'

OPINION: China's biggest problem? Too many men

Marital property in China belongs to the one person who owns the home -- who is, more often than not, a man.

And there's not a single woman on the ruling Communist Party's seven-member Politburo Standing Committee.

"So when it comes to women's issues, who will speak for women?" asks former legislator and committed feminist Wu Qing.

For CNN's "On China," I talked to Wu and two high-profile observers of women's issues in China -- Tsinghua University scholar Leta Hong Fincher and bestselling author Joy Chen -- on the state of gender inequality in China.

Wu squarely blames the government for not trying hard enough to shore up women's rights by implementing the constitution.

"Article 33 says every single citizen of the People's Republic of China should be treated equally," Wu points out. "And, according to Article 48 on women, women should enjoy equal rights in the economy, in politics, in everything."

"And yet, China is still rule of man, by man."

OPINION: What Chinese women want

Beijing is not only failing to represent the needs of women. It's putting its own interests ahead of China's increasingly educated and single female population.

According to Hong Fincher, there has been an active state media campaign to promote the term "leftover women," a derogatory term referring to spoiled food that's been used to shame China's urban educated women over the age of 27 who are still single. The term was defined by the All China's Women's Federation in 2007.

"After the Women's Federation defined this term, then the state media started aggressively pushing it," Hong Fincher tells me. "There's been a stream of reports insulting educated women in their late 20s who don't have a husband yet."

"It's insulting not just to single women," says Joy Chen. "It's insulting to all women and all men because it basically says you're legitimate to the extent that you're married."

"And the leftover label is everywhere in society," Chen adds. "Your plumber tells you to hurry and get married if you're a single woman with an apartment."

OPINION: Single Chinese women say 'I won't'

Despite all the social pressure and lack of government support, there are the outliers among Chinese women -- extreme examples of extraordinary success. So what pushed them to go so far?Hong Fincher argues that the term is part of a government program to upgrade population quality: "So what they want to do is promote match -making to encourage or scare educated women into having a child because that fits the government's demographic goals."

"These women who are multi-millionaires have made it in spite of being in China, not because of it," says Hong Fincher. "I wish that those women would speak out more on behalf of women all across China."

Wu herself is an outlier among China's women. A former university professor and a member of the Haidian district's People's Congress for 27 years, she is a tireless activist.

And she is speaking out on behalf of China's women as a women's rights advocate and a founder of a school to empower rural women.

"We need to have a very clear goal in our lives, know what we want," Wu tells me.

"I was lucky that when I was a little girl, my mom told me that I'm a human being first before I'm a girl or a woman."

To crack the code for success, don't say you're a woman first.

Japan to issue gravest warning since quake on Fukushima nuclear plant leaks

Nuclear crisis in Japan

Tokyo (CNN) -- Japan is poised to declare a toxic water leak at the Fukushima nuclear plant a level 3 "serious incident," its gravest warning since the massive 2011 earthquake and tsunami that sent three reactors into meltdown.

The country's Nuclear Regulation Authority said the leak was expected to be classified as a level 3 incident on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale pending confirmation from the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency.

"The current situation is at the point where more surveillance won't be enough to keep the accidents from happening," Shunichi Tanaka, chairman of the authority, said at a news conference Wednesday.

"Our job is now to lower the risk of these accidents from becoming fatal."

Fukushima plant 'house of horrors'

How dangerous is Japan's nuclear leak?

Fukushima two years later

The leak previously had a level 1 "anomaly rating" on the scale, which ranges from zero, for no safety threat, to seven, for a major accident like the meltdowns at the plant after the earthquake and tsunami.

Tokyo Electric Power Company, or TEPCO, which is in charge of the plant, has struggled to manage the vast quantities of contaminated water at the plant since the tsunami, which swamped the facility.

Water pumped out of the stricken reactor buildings is being stored in large water towers at the site.

Fukushima leaks: Japan ponders freezing ground

In response to the latest leakage of 300 tons of toxic water, a TEPCO spokesman said Wednesday the company has finished removing radioactive water from a leaky tank and transferred it to another tank at the plant.

The leaky container is designed to hold as much as 1,000 tons of water, TEPCO said.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said it was aware of reports that the Nuclear Regulation Authority plans to rate the leak as a level 3 incident.

"The IAEA views this matter seriously and remains ready to provide assistance on request," the agency said.

Scientists have pointed to high radiation levels in the waters off the plant for more than a year as evidence of problems with the company's efforts to contain the water.

In July, TEPCO admitted that radioactive groundwater was leaking into the Pacific Ocean from the plant, even though an underground barrier was built to seal in the water, underscoring a growing sense of crisis at the site.

Fukushima tuna study finds miniscule health risks

The authority said in a statement on its website that the plant "remains in an unstable condition, with various risks to be addressed, and in particular managing the issue of contaminated water as a high priority."

Michael Friedlander, a nuclear engineer and former U.S. power plant operator, said the level 3 classification was warranted for the type of situation faced by TEPCO, but he said the risk to the public outside the plant was very low.

"This is extremely radioactive water, and it would pose a very significant risk to the workers who are going to be in a position to clean it up," he told CNN.

"It's a very difficult situation because we don't know exactly know where the leak is coming from."

But TEPCO spokeswoman Mayumi Yoshida disputed Friedlander's assessment of the risk posed by the contaminated water. She said workers removing the water from the tank have sufficient protective clothing to prevent exposure.

Amid growing concerns this month about contaminated groundwater leaching into the ocean from the plant, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ordered his government to find "multiple, speedy and sure" ways to stop the water's spread.

"We have to deal with this at a national level," he said.

But experts say that any potential solutions are likely to be difficult, technologically and politically.

UN Security Council underlines need for "clarity" on alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria

UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 21 (Xinhua) -- The UN Security Council on Wednesday underlined the need for "clarity" on the alleged use of chemical weapons in the eastern suburbs of Damascus, the Syrian capital, saying that "the situation has to be followed carefully."
Maria Cristina Perceval, permanent representative of Argentina to the United Nations and the council president for August, made the remarks at the end of an emergency council meeting on Syria.
"We can say that there is a strong concern among council members about allegations in a general sense that there must be clarity on what happened and that the situation has to be followed carefully," Perceval told reporters.
The closed-door meeting, which began at around 3:20 p.m. EDT ( 1920 GMT) on Wednesday, heard a briefing by Deputy UN Secretary- General Jan Eliasson.Swahili

Chelsea 2 Aston Villa 1: Rattled Mourinho and Lambert square up on touchline as Ivanovic header wins it for Blues (but should Serb have seen red?)

Jose Mourinho’s truce with the Barclays Premier League lasted just one
 game. This didn’t quite reach the depths of his poke in Tito Vilanova’s
 eye when in charge of Real Madrid but it was close enough for discomfort.

First the Chelsea boss was shaken by Christian Benteke’s equaliser 
and he then steamed into Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert.

Mourinho knows Chelsea got lucky. They won this re-arranged fixture when
Branislav Ivanovic, who could easily have been sent off for elbowing Benteke, 
powered the winner beyond Brad Guzan.

Three points: Chelsea celebrate after taking a 2-1 lead against Aston Villa through
 Branislav Ivanovic

Power: Ivanovic scores the winner with a thumping header

Anger: A furious Jose Mourinho screams at Paul Lambert on the touchline

Not happy: The argument stemmed from a challenge made by Ivanovic on Christian
Benteke

Heated: The fourth official had to step in to prevent a confrontation

Not backing down: Lambert gave as good as he got in the argument

By then Stamford Bridge had been treated to Mourinho’s full repertoire:
 flailing arms, three touchline rows with a purple-faced Lambert and 
countless run-ins with fourth official Stuart Attwell.

‘Paul has a certain personality on the touchline and a certain way of 
behaving with comments,’ claimed Mourinho. ‘He reminds me of me 
ten years ago, but with experience he will change.’

It was vintage Mourinho, spiky and unabridged. He doesn’t care who 
he upsets, so long as his team are winning. Even Rui Faria, Mourinho’s
 faithful assistant, jumped off the bench to confront Lambert during another 
ugly touchline exchange.

Villa should have had two penalties, decisions scandalously overlooked by 
referee Kevin Friend who failed to spot the nudge on Andreas Weimann, or
 John Terry’s handball in the closing minutes.

‘We’ve been done by two big decisions,’ claimed Lambert. ‘Ivanovic should 
have been sent off.’

Mourinho responded, labelling Villa a physical, long-ball team who constantly 
boot balls up to Benteke. It was unfair and inaccurate.

Lambert and Villa deserve sympathy, heading back to Birmingham without a 
point when they might have won all three.

When two teams play like this, with exuberance and energy, taking on lung-busting
 runs and responding to the demands of their passionate fans, you don’t want the 
game to end.

At times Stamford Bridge was caught in a trance, mesmerised by Eden Hazard’s
 ability to pick out Juan Mata with a fading 40-yard crossfield pass.

Taking a hit: Ivanovic's elbow seemed to catch Christian Benteke but the defender was
only booked

How are you: Benteke was holding his face as Ivanovic stood over him

Ahead: Chelsea had gone ahead when Eden Hazard's shot was turned into his own goal
 by Antonio Luna

Chelsea went ahead through the sweetest of moves involving Frank Lampard, 
Oscar and Hazard, who was denied the credit for the goal when Antonio Luna
 deflected the ball beyond Guzan.

There was the effort of Gabby Agbonlahor down the left for Villa, providing the
 outlet that earned his team two penalties at Arsenal on Saturday. He provided 
the killer pass, an angled cut-back into the path of Benteke to score Villa’s 
equaliser at the end of the first half. This is the Agbonlahor of 2006, the man 
who nearly earned a move to Chelsea under Mourinho first time around.
 He was awesome.

Under Lambert he has remodelled his game, a real team player as Villa 
respond to their manager’s intensity and enthusiasm on the touchline.

The equaliser provoked some intense celebrations from Lambert and his 
coaching staff. Mourinho was in the technical area, the knot on his tie slipping 
further down his shirt as the game wore on.

A great leveller: Benteke celebrates scoring the equaliser for Aston Villa in first-half
stoppage time

Get in! Villa boss Lambert jumps into the air after Benteke's goal

He has put himself under this pressure, demanding the killer touch from his
 team ahead of Monday’s game against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

There will be rotation, as Fernando Torres discovered when he didn’t even 
make the bench after starting Sunday’s opener against Hull.

Demba Ba got his chance, but Chelsea are a striker light. The Senegal forward
 is good, just not good enough for a club with Premier League and Champions 
League aspirations.

In another era it would be easy to conclude that Ba was picked as a message to 
Abramovich, a reminder that they need another forward before the transfer window 
closes. They will be back for Wayne Rooney, with one last attempt after Monday’s 
clash at Old Trafford.

Battle: Demba Ba gets up with Jores Okore as they challenge for a ball

Fist pump: Eden Hazard was the architect of Chelsea's first goal

Ba was eventually replaced by Romelu Lukaku and it wasn’t a moment too 
soon for Chelsea’s increasingly restless fans. By then Agbonlahor could have 
put Villa in front with a swirling effort on the hour and a Weimann volley went 
wide of Cech’s post.

‘Come on Chelsea’ the home fans shouted as Ron Vlaar and Jores Okore - 
who came on after Ciaran Clark went off with a head injury - stopped 
almost everything. They were unlucky to be beaten in the air by Ivanovic, 
scoring with a header to prompt another icy glare towards Lambert from 
Mourinho.

Two games into his return to Chelsea, he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Clark spark out: The Villa defender is caught by Demba Ba and had to be substituted

Blooded: Ciaran Clark had to come off in the first-half with a head injury

Stretch: Ramires and Fabian Delph fight for possession in the middle of the park
