INTRODUCTION

  Fear is a though that something unpleasant happen or might have happened. Or is the unpleasant you have when you think that b you are in danger.
Dilemmas are difficult situation in which you have to choose between two or more alternatives. Or refers to the situation in which difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives especially ones that are equally undesirable

                                                                                                                                                             Community development is a process where community members come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems. It is a broad term given to the practices of civic leaders, activists, involved citizens and professionals to improve various aspects of communities, typically aiming to build stronger and more resilient local communities.
Community development is also understood as a professional discipline, and is defined by the International Association for Community Development , the global network of community development practitioners and scholars, as "a practice-based profession and an academic discipline that promotes participative democracy, sustainable development, rights, economic opportunity, equality and social justice, through the organization, education and empowerment of people within their communities, whether these be of locality, identity or interest, in urban and rural settings".
Community development seeks to empower individuals and groups of people with the skills they need to effect change within their communities. These skills are often created through the formation of social groups working for a common agenda. Community developers must understand both how to work with individuals and how to affect communities' positions within the context of larger social institutions
.
MAIN BODY

 Fears and dilemma that faced the government in promoting development in the community include the following;
     Apart from factors such as poverty, homelessness and environmental issues, bad administration and inadequate community initiatives are also responsible for the current issues threatening the development of sustainable communities. Few common challenges in sustainable community development were identified. These challenges include integration, scale, governance, community inclusion, traditional beliefs, gender stereotype and disintegration of infrastructure.
 Integration; Human settlements are often areas of inequality, segregation and exclusion. Despite government’s best efforts the housing and service interventions for the poor have continued to perpetuate. The result has been the development of large dormitory settlements of low-cost houses on the urban periphery far from economic opportunities and rural areas being continually overlooked. The consequence is that people get trapped in poverty and are subject to long-term social costs. Despite this there is still considerable work to be done in developing policies and strategies to be implemented on a meaningful scale while the policy instruments and frameworks that are required for a coherent and implementable approach to integration are still undeveloped and require attention.
Governance; Government structures often do not embrace sustainable community development as a guiding planning principle resulting in the implementations of sustainability objectives often becoming difficult and resulting in ineffectiveness. Even the government sectors that have embraced the principles of sustainable community development have had considerable difficulty in translating strategies into practice. Political corruption acts as a big deterrent in realizing sustainable communities because the misappropriation of funds results in reduced effectiveness of community development initiatives
Lack of patriotism/thrust ship among the members of the community; Within the society there were different kind of people with different kind of behaviour.In this group of people found on these community there are some who are not patriotism. Some of them they destroy the infrastructure which was created for the benefits of the whole community. And some they take those for their own use such things include railway material, electricity material such as electric wire and so on. So through this obstacle the government fears to promote development within this community to lack of patriotism within the community
Traditional beliefs; Now days people were develop psychologically to mentally they know what they do but still there are some society which they follow the traditional roles which are not beneficial to their lives and other human lives. For example when the government plan to make a concur of people live in the society  some of them they do not want to be counted because their beliefs does  not permit people to be counted by other people for any reason and by any means because they believe human being are not counted that’s is kind of witchcraft..
Gender stereotype; Also in some community there are society who have negative aspects, they think that only men are the one who have right to do each and everything within the family an he is the one who are required to be educated they forgot that both women and men have equal right both they need to be educated. These make the government dilemmas in promoting development because the government want each member in the society to be treated equally in both aspects because they beliefs the equality among these two gender will bring development within the community because it create a good relationship among the community members
 Geographical location; Geographical location also is one among of the fears which the government faced in promoting community development. This may be due to the disaster which may occur floods  also are one among or the disaster tsunami and other disaster .so through these other society there was no development because the government fail to know how to solve that problem for the purpose of promoting development
Conflicts; There are some community where there is presence of conflicts all the time for example some of the community there is conflicts between the pastoralist and the farmers so instead of the government to bring development in this community they start o resolve this conflict, it seem that there is some community which there is no development due to conflicts because the government fear to promote development to the people who do not interact to each other.

Those are the fears and dilemmas that’s the government faced during the period of promoting community development. Then after knowing the dilemmas and fears that the government faced in promoting a sustainable community development the government together with other institutions they must develop the ways through which they can escape those fairs and dilemmas. The following are the solution that the government should follow to remove those fairs and dilemmas which may act as barriers for development.
There should be good governance; In any state or country which they do not have good governance their development is low due to different reasons first reason it may be corruption these was very big problem within the community because their leader are not thrust full they use the public recourses for their own benefit  unsteady of  community benefits, for example when the government gives money either for construction of either hospital or school but these money when they reach to the community leader they not use it in purposive activity but they use it for their own purposes.
Also the community participation is very important in development issues; The good interaction between the community members and the government is the one which can lead to the development in the community. When the community members does not have good relationship with the government it will not be easy to achieves the dreams of promoting community development because of poor relationship among the community members and the government.
Also there must be city plan; In others areas the government failed to promote the community development because of their city are not well planned. In areas which are not well planed its hard to provide social , economic and political development because it is not satisfied by the government whether to be area for settlement or business area, and that’s why in developing country such as Tanzania when you go in villages areas are not well developed because are not well planed there is no scale for that villages, peoples construct their houses randomly withough the permission from the government, and that’s why in Tanzania now days  each they introduce the laws which govern each member of the community who own the land he/she must have a permission from the ministry of land plan and settlements mh William lukuvi. This law was in order for controlling land misunderstanding and to lead development within the community...
Education should be provided to the community member; The education which is needed here is that which show the impact of cultural beliefs and how development is important in the community, this will help people to understand what they are doing and what are the benefit of that thing in their daily life, they need to be like other to thrust on what the government have been do, so through these method it will remove fairs from the government because each person understanding the impact of what he/she is doing..
Thrust ship and patriotism; It is very important in promoting the development within the community, For example when each member of the community will be a protector of other this will help to reduce the unwanted crime especially of government resources such as electricity wire, and other thing which are important in bringing the development within the community.
Solving conflicts; Also through solving the community conflicts such as ethical conflicts which are always occur in our community this will help the government to provide development in these community, because these conflicts is seem to be as an obstacle in promoting community development
 Community empowerment; This refers to the process of boosting a person to afford what he or she needs so the community member should be empowered in variously way such as meeting which will help them to generate a knowledge that can help to afford their basic and important needs so through empowering the community it will be easy for the government to provide development
CONCLUSION
After examining the various definitions of sustainable communities offered it is concluded that a sustainable community is one in which the residents meet their needs while making effective use of natural resources for enhancing the environment, achieving social cohesion and strengthening their economic prosperity in such a manner that the needs of future generations will be met. The crucial role of local authorities in achieving such settlements was also highlighted

International Law

    International Law The body of law that governs the legal relations between or among states or nations.To qualify as a subject under the traditional definition of international law, a state had to be sovereign: It needed a territory, a population, a government, and the ability to engage in diplomatic or foreign relations. States within the United States, provinces, and cantons were not considered subjects of international law, because they lacked the legal authority to engage in foreign relations. In addition, individuals did not fall within the definition of subjects that enjoyed rights and obligations under international law. so there are two types of international law which are public and private international law. Public International Law: Public International laws have been designed to examine the relationships between the countries and states and they govern the binding rules of the international community to avoid any dispute.
