The omnipresent party

You see them everywhere in Tanzania, the little green flags ragged in the wind, speared up on a bent stick or in the crown of a tree in a seemingly no different garden than the one of the house to its left and right. However, there is a big difference. The green flag, on which, if it is not yet completely washed out, you can recognize the hammer and sickle like party symbol of the ruling CCM party, marks the home of a ten cell leader. He is supervising another ten families in their daily life following rules and regulations of what once was the official single state party, be it marriage or dispute, divorce or illness, and all it gets accurately noted down into a big book!
