Different newspapers wrote on disasters occurred in the country between 2000 and 2001. One of them is the Mwanza floods in which heavy rains pound in the city killing 24 and on the same case ten bodies were seen floating in Lake Victoria leaving hundreds homeless. In onother case, 13 people were missing in a small fishing village of Mtanga on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Kigoma region following a landslide and flash floods which also buried 30 houses and caused a loss of 41million. In another case, President Benjamin Mkapa was saddened by the bloody clashes between pastoralist and farmers in Kilosa district, and the Rungwe tremor victims were disappointed by the Mbeya regional commissioner statement that their houses collapsed because of having weak foundations.
