Dear the author of "Mr Taliban", thankyou for proving my point, what was the constructive and intelligent content of your posting? I want to encourage discussion on the history of our islands, contributions such as yours are hardly an advert for rational thinking. I have nothing against non Zazibaris, my wife is one.

The saddest part of any open fora such as this, is that it is also open to lunatics and bigots to peddle their comments founded on hate and based on at best a misconception of history or on just plain ignorance. As a Zanzibari I thank you for the preservation of the heritage of yesterdays Zanzibar. To-days Zanzibar is far removed from the Zanzibar of my Father, nothing will turn the clock back, but equally nothing will change the real history of our island, whatever your (I am sure non Zanzibari) hate peddlers would like. My only request as webmaster use your rights as moderator and do not allow postings that do not engage intelligent and balanced debate on our island's history.

WARNING dont wait for another Dafur smash Zanzibar caste system. Dont vote for CUF Arabists. It is time Black African nations stoped giving Arab nations voting-handouts at UN meetings,(what do they ever give us in return?) Arabs are a embarassment to the developing world, humilated and conquered people AKA Iraq. Pemba-Uguju and John Okello forever! TR

The majority of the so called arab rulers in Zanzibar ( e.g Sayyid Khalifa, Bargash etc ) had native black Zanzibarian mothers. So they were as native - and black- as you Mr Kassim but sadly they oppressed their own kiths and kins, just as revolutionaries are doing right now in Zanzibar, which reminded me of George Orwell classic 'Animal Farm ' in which once the oppressed take over the government they behave as the same as the oppressor, even worse in some cases!

IS THIS A TRUE STORY?. ''Seyyid Barghash was the man who brought Zanzibar in closer contact with the rest of the world. After the opening of the Suez Canal(1869), he arranged for the Eastern Telegraph Company to lay a long distance cable cable under the ocean bed from Aden to Zanzibar. Work on laying the submarine cable was accomplished in 1879. A local office was opened with technicians brought from London, Goa and Bombay.'' EDDY

This site doesn't have sufficient materials, and it is only speaking about former oppressors, and those who said that this site remind them when they were there, it really remind them how they used to oppress native black Zanzibarian, and took all the wealth to foreign countries, Most of them are you indians, like you Barghashit..... If I will came down there and do a reseach on Indians, Arabian and Government leaders if they have bank account in Znz and abroad, I'm sure the result will come out that all you have bank accounts in abroad. So do you think doing this bull sh***t, you helping Znz be rich or you helping it to be bleached? Kassimhi@hotmail.com

Barghash, Cheers!. This is great. You really enlightened me on liberation or suppression of the Zanzibaris. Many Kenyans know very little about the truth of the 1964 revolution. All they know is about Karafu and rubbish especially the Mombasans. I look forward to visit/stay Zanzibar this fall on a fabulous cultural project for 6 months. I will email you soon.

Mashallah, Mabruk Aleik for the launch off, this website is like a me walking in a historical archive of archived images that are only seen in museums. Wether it is a brother or sister behind this website, keep up the good work, we need more out here from the mother land. Zenjibar has gone through an intense historical paradigm, and inshallah kila kitu kitakuwa cha kheri. Thank you for sharing this information and knowledge with the world. My mother was a revolution survivor, and by seeing those pictures there it helped me see more other than my own created images in my head and feelings of what happened during that period and time. Thank you again, and there is nothing like originallity-WELL DONE! A question, by any chance are there more images from Pemba? and also the english building that u provided the picture, said to a museum now, where is it located? since_olduvai@yahoo.ca

During the Zanzibar revolution I was just a boy of one year, born and brought up in Malindi-Kenya. My understanding is that the person who overthrew the island mornechy was Abeid Karume. Please enlighten (clarify) It is a remarkable idea to have put such information on the web.Admittedly it is difficult to obtain such data when you are far away as Bolton in the UK. In this regard I was moved by Siti Binti Saad web. The only book I had come about this legendary super star, I think was in 1976. It was writen by Shabaan Robert. In this connection I would suggest that you likewise prepare such a materal for, the one and only taarab king.(Professor) Juma Bhalo.I am afraid he is aging now and I don't think someone had thought of writting or evening preparing (shooting) a documentary about him.Indeed he is about to become history in the making. I would be happy to receive any relevant information regarging the same, e.g.membership registration, regarding presevation and enlightment about Swahil culture. Currently I am a Kenyan, post graduaate student at Bolton Institute. ------------------------ My address is Mohamed A.Ebrahim 40 Bradford Street Bolton-Lancashire BL2 1JJ United Kingdom..............................altenatively: mae2edu@bolton.ac.uk or mohosman104@hotmail.com Thank you and congratulations for your execellent work.

These are wonderful photographs to peruse. I have in my possession many photos of the Zanzibar of the 1930's when I grew up there as a child from the age of 2 - 8 yrs old. I would be happy to send them over the internet if it would be of interest? These were taken mainly by my parents, (Arthur and Gertrude Hutchison). My father worked in the then National Bank of India. We lived in a flat in the building which is now Zanzibar High School, which I visited a few years ago. My email address is: magmum80@hotmail.com and I would love to hear from you. I now live in Canada and am planning another trip to Zanzibar in 2006. I decided the only inhabitant of the island who was there when i was is the large old tortoise in the museum grounds! Maggie Thomas (nee Hutchison)

On further investigation I realise that my first school was St Joseph's Convent and my Zanzibar home was the middle flat of Tumekuja School! How wonderful to see the old photographs and to read the account from a Head Master. Maggie - Canada

Dear Bhargash, every time I visit your site, I find new and exciting updates. Your project has obviously become your life's work! Please keep it up. Unfortunately on this occasion you haven't helped me, as I was looking for a more detailed description of the House of Wonders for a story I am writing based on my visits to Zanzibar. I could have sworn that there are large flags hanging in the gallery there, but I can find no mention of them. I guess I'll just have to go back to Zanzibar for another visit! carolinemiche15@hotmail.com

This site is great! Asante sana! My name is Rebecca and I'm from Australia. I've been living with my husband Iddi in Zanzibar for three years. We have recently come to London to work. Well I have work but it has proven difficult for my husband to get work. The reason for this is because his English is very basic and he has no formal education. I have been searching for Zanzibarian/Tanzanian communities here in London but I've had no luck. It would be soooo good for him to meet some other swahili speakers. I speak swahili but I think he could do with other people to talk too. He has met many people here in London through me but it would be great for him to meet other friends for himself. I've been a stranger in a strange land many a time and it can really suck. So any swahili speakers out there? becharv@yahoo.com.au

It was a jewel of an island almost unimaginable and totally unexplainable to the modern youth. Those who were born there and went to school would understand the beauty of having experienced paradise.

Dear Barghash, Your web-site was wonderfully created and had so much of information, that as I read on and on, I felt those nostalgic reminiscences of my younger days in Zanzibar as a little boy. I was born in Zanzibar in 1956 and was a student at the Tumekuja HS, then. I cherish every moments that I grew up there and still miss the place so much. I had visited Zanzibar again in 1986, to visit my father, then. My grandfather was Dr.V.G. Rebello, who had a clinic at the market place, my mother was a nursing sister at the hospital, my father, John Britto was a civil servant, then. It would be nice if you could create a web page where any Zanzibaris could input their particulars as a means of keeping in touch. This is small world after all. Keep up with your good works and more updates. Knowledge on Zanzibar never seems to tire me. Best Regards, Robert Britto < bob_britto@hotmail.com >

Anywhere, I am original from Zanzibar and I am proud of that and thank you very much to let us know our History though I believe so far no one can!!! Your the Man Keep Up!!! nassorzahran@yahoo.com

Most impressed with your web site. As the author of a number of books on Zanzibar history one is always finding new and interesting material and your pages do the island justice. Kevin Patience. saburi@hotmail.com
