Asali Society: A Sweet Spot for Violence Prevention: Following the data

  Theory of Collective Violence as Social Control Collective Violence as Social Control theory as described by Senechal de la Roche (1996) has been helpful in understanding the relationship between the violence witnessed at the bombing of the US Embassy in Dar es Salaam Tanzania and the ‘mob violence’ we see on the streets of Dar es Salaam, and  recently witnessed at the United States Capitol in Washington DC. She describes the 4 types of unilateral collective violence and categorizes them by Liability of the victims and how the event was Organized. Unilateral collective violence in Tanzania The violence that I witnessed at the US Embassy in 1998 is defined as Terrorism, in the above model. It was a highly organized attack – simultaneously in 3 neighboring countries. Responsibility was collective – in that anybody connected with Americans was a target; the victims included the Tanzanian guards, the Tanzanian driver of the truck bomb, and some Africa people in line for visas

Entrepreneurship and Beekeeping Training We sent beekeepers from 2 villages in southern Tanzania (Lulindi in Masasi region and Ndechela in Lindi region), for beekeeping and entrepreneurship training. In Dar es Salaam, they had 5 day-long sessions about entrepreneurship with an NGO called Restless Development. https://restlessdevelopment.org/country/tanzania/ In class. The trainers, at either end, had been trained by Internatio nal Labor Organization and tailored the course to beekeeping, and to the beekeepers education level. After the entrepreneurship training was completed, they rode a bus across the country to Sumbawanga for an intensive training at www.africanbeekeeping.com/ Africanbeekeeping.com focus their training upon helping local small-scale and subsistence farmers utilize materials common in their homes for beekeeping and honey processing.   Here the students are showing the wax starter strips they have made.
