Mrs. Linde: (Smiles sadly and strokes her hair). It sometimes happens, Nora.
Nora: So you are quite alone. How dreadfully sad that must be. I have three lovely children. You
can't see them just now, for they are out with their nurse. But now you must tell me all about it.
Mrs. Linde: No, no; I want to hear about you.
Nora: No, you must begin. I mustn't be selfish today; today I must only think of your affairs. But
there is one thing I must tell you. Do you know we have just had a great piece of good luck?
Mrs. Linde: No, what is it?
Nora: Just fancy, my husband has been made manager of the Bank!
Mrs. Linde: Your husband? What good luck!
Nora: Yes, tremendous! A barrister's profession is such an uncertain thing, especially if he won't
undertake unsavory cases; and naturally Torvald has never been willing to do that, and I quite
agree with him. You may imagine how pleased we are! He is to take up his work in the Bank at
the New Year, and then he will have a big salary and lots of commissions. For the future we can
live quite differently —we can do just as we like. I feel so relieved and so happy, Christine! It
will be splendid to have heaps of money and not need to have any anxiety, won't it?
Mrs. Linde: Yes, anyhow I think it would be delightful to have what one needs.
Nora: No, not only what one needs, but heaps and heaps of money.
Mrs. Linde: (smiling) Nora, Nora, haven't you learned sense yet? In our schooldays you were a
great spendthrift. (Laughing) Yes, that is what Torvald says now. (Wags

Nora: her finger at her.) But 'Nora, Nora' is not so silly as you think. We have not been in a
position for me to waste money. We have both had to work.
Mrs. Linde: You too?
Nora: Yes; odds and ends, needlework, crotchet-work, embroidery, and that kind of thing.
(dropping her voice) And other things as well. You know Torvald left his office when we were
married. There was not prospect of promotion there' and he had to try and earn more than
before. But during the first year he worked early and late; but he couldn't stand it, and fell
dreadfully ill, and the doctors said it was necessary for him to go south.
Mrs. Linde: You spent a whole year in Italy, didn't you?

Remains by Simon Armitage
On another occasion,
we get sent out
To tackle looters raiding a bank.
And one of them legs it up the road.
Probably armed, possibly not.
Well myself and somebody else and somebody else
Are all of the same mind,
So all three of us open fire
Three of a kind all letting fly, and I swear
I see every round as it rips through his life –
I see broad daylight on the other side.
So, we’ve hit this looter a dozen times
And he’s there on the ground, sort of inside out,
Pain itself, the image of agony.

Yamkini tatizo hili halitokei pasi na kumotishwana kitita kikubwa cha fidia kinachodaiwa na
maharamia hawa. Aghalabu, suala hili lahusishwa pakubwa na azma na ari ya kuendeleza ujambazi
kimataifa sawia na ulipuaji wa bomu mijini Nairobi na Dar es Salaam mnamo Agosti 7.1998 na tukio
la septemba 11, mwaka 2001 kule marekani. Maafa na uharibifu wa mali si hoja, la maana kwa
maharamia ni kutosheleza matakwa yao.Kwa upande mwingine, ukosefu wa tawala wajibika katika
maeneo kunakotokea unyama huu ni thibitisho tosha la mazingira yanayowezesha na kuruhusu
kuchipuka kwa janga hili.
Mchipuko wa baa la uharamia umelenga jamii ya kimataifa ambayo ni mhudumu mkuu wa harakati
za kusitisha majanga makubwa kama vile njaa, umaskini na magonjwa yaliyoshesheni pakubwa
barani.Bila shaka, hili ni suala linalilozalishwa kinyume mbele. Maharamia wanatishia utangamano
wa kimataifa wanapotibua usafiri wa abiria na shehena zinazoelekezwa sehemu tofauti ulimwenguni.
Jitahidi za kuweka laini mawasiliano chini ya bahari ili kurahisisha na kupunguza gharama za
mtandao ulimwenguni ni ndoto ambayo haijatimia hadi hivi sasa, kutafutia juhudi za maharamia
katika bahari Hindi. Kwa mujibu wa hali hii, mawasiliano mepesi na nafuu yasitarajiwe hivi
karibuni.Licha ya hayo, shughuli za uvuvi na biashara nyenginezo kwenye kanda ya mwambao
zimetiliwa shaka si haba. Itabidi mikakati na suluhisho la kudumu liweze kupatikana ili vitendo vya
uharamia viweze kusitishwa.
d) Thibitisha kwa kuwa Kenya imeathirika pakubwa kutokana na vitendo vya uharamia.
