As a matter-of-fact you have done a tremendous job to reveal what we really don't know and we would never know if not for the poeples like you who march yourselve up and do it. I thank you for it and appreciate much, so keep on keeping on. None but Platini.

Comment 95

You really did great job to creat this website. However From what I have read and see in your website I have realised that the in Zanzibar's Revolution was of great importance. I am not doubt that Zanzibar would have been like Afghanstan of today( year 2001)if Zanzibar revolution didn't take place. Anybody who really like Zanzibar should support the revolution and especially the union with the mainland to form THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA. Living in Europe and USA or UAE and and say I am Zanzibari and I love Zanzibar wont help nothing. You must go there and help build the country.(a remote stick will not kill a snake) The one who destroy Zanzibar now is you who run away from there and seek asylum in the UK, not OKELLO who served the nation. Ehh LORD (ALLAH ALMIGHTY) BLESS THE UNITED REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA AND DESTROY ALL THE ENEMIES OF THE UNION AMEEN.

I've always be interested in Zanzibar since my teacher at school (when I was about 10) described how beautiful it is. She was originally from there and she described the spices and herbs that would linger in the air. Since that time, 23 years ago, I still use cloves for many different things. For example I presently have a cold and I find that tea, honey and cloves is a good remady. Each time I do use cloves it reminds me of Zanzibar.

Salama Bwana Barghash, minapenda website yako sana - very informative, especially regarding the history of the revolution. How were the photos of the execution taken? I'm interested in the history of the revolution - I've lived in Dar since 1980 and made many visits to Zanzibar. Like Hafidh I would also like to know what happened to Okello-was he expelled from Zanzibar? If so when and where is he today?

This is an excellent site! I lived in Tanzania from 1979-82 as the acting US Ambassador and visited Zanzibar on a regular basis. From Tanzania I was posted as the American Ambassador to the Seychelles where I befriended many Zanzibaris who fled after the 1964 revolution. Finally, when I retired and moved to San Francisco, I came to know Babu and listened to his version of the revolution and take over by Tanzania.

Bwana Bargash, In your news re. minimum wage increase in Zanzibar, exchange rate is wrong, one USD is approx 900 Tan Sh, so 30.000 shillings will be USD about 33.33 USD and not 350 USD.

Being interested in History and current affairs I was wondering if the last Sultan of Zanzibar has given any interviews since living in the UK on his memories or even reaction to being invited back to visit Zanzibar? I'm sure this would be fascinating to many people. Or perhaps it is too recent history and therefore too painful to talk about - what do others think/Know of this?

Comment 39

Dear Mr Barghash,

I have just gone over your excellent website and would like to congratulate you on a job well done. I will shortly contact you again to send you some more information to update your pages.

Most of the information that you gave on the Revolution come from the details given by John Okello and it was largely fiction. My book on the Zanzibar Revolution entitled "Zanzibar: The Rise And Fall Of An Independent State (1890-1964)" is about to be published in Oman. It will give you more details on the days prior to the revolution, during the revolution and the days after. This is based on first hand interviews & information from some of the revolutionaries, government ministers and senior British officials including Tim Croswaite (last British Resident). It will make your write up on the Revolution more factual.

Once again, excellent work and keep up the good work.

Best Regards,

Comment 35

It's my first time to visit your web site, right now I have mixed feelings i.e. emotional/sentimental as I attended Tumekuja school from class one -- three (@Tumekuja ndogo, Minara Miwili) and then transferred to class 4 -- 6 at Tumekuja kubwa. I left Zanzibar in 1971, I can't explain how I feel tonight after reading/seeing my old school for the first time since I left -- I'm deeply touched as I have spent a beautiful part of my childhood at that school and down at the sea-shore where we used to swim at break time ofcourse without our teachers' permission, I will always cherish these beautiful memoirs and they'll stay in my mind until the day I die. However, it's nice to see the school building has remained as I remember it in my mind, and I hope one day I will take my kids to Zanzibar and to my old beautiful school.

Interesting and shocking pictures of zanzibar. Born after the revolution, it was difficult to picture what actually happened during that sad period.

Your photos of the space station came as a big suprise to me. I never knew it existed.

Many thanks for sharing this wealth of information with us.

The history of the "Revolution is immaculately written, well articulated, informative and deserves its place in history of Zanzibar. But what happened to the historical part played by the Short-lived Democratically elected Government of Zanzibar before the Revolution ?. Or the part played by that govenment is of no historical importance to the Historians of The Islands of Zanzibar and Pemba?

Great Website!

Brought back memories of my school St. Joseph's Convent, after reading the article on Tumekuja school! The school door was the room of head Sister (Hemma, Maura) and we students used to line up in groups of class after our morning break before proceeding into our classes. (Is this ritual still being carried out today?) The beach shown is where I used to go swimming in the afternoons. I thoroughly enjoyed my childhood era in Zbar and it brings back good old memories.

Hi,

A very good compilation of Zanzibari history. I wonder, I have seen nothing in anyone's web sites about the first world war and the naval battles that took place off of Zanzibar, does anyone have anything about this? Also the Cable and Wireless presence on the island through 1966-67, a crucial post on the British Empires communications lines.

Great website, very informative. I was just surfing through. If you get a opportunity, please stop over to a site am working with, called http://www.AFRICANBYNATURE.com.

Which opened June 22, 1999. African By Nature is an e-commerce/ information website. I think you will find it rather interesting.

This is a independent progressive website, for African Americans and Africans worldwide.

People from all of the world communities would benefit from this website.

The featured book is, The African Unconscious, written by Edward Bruce Bynum, Ph.D and the featured guest commentator is Professor Miriam Gomes, also an article by Professor Jacob H. Carruthers, from Northeastern University in Chicago.

I hope you can stop by, thank you.

I have been visiting many zanzibar sites but this is extra ordinary, what a shame to see a bloodshade in a place like Zanzibar, where it used to be a paradise before revolution, bloodshade done by group of uncivillized porters and their friends from Uganda and Tanganyika anyway this was part of crusade to massacre as many muslim as they can, Zanzibar is famous after bloody revolution the way they massacre , torture , looting and harrasment peoples by those uncivilzed people, till now harrasment and torture continue in Zanzibar, Only God can repay all these sinful done by these pagans.

Others may think that a sad page of history like this one of Zanzibar can simply be torn away out of the hearts of those who lost their beloved ones during the Zanzibar Genocide,as time shrinks away reality.For sure it is not and should not be the case.The Zanzibar Revolution addresses itself as a "GENOCIDE".Sultan Ahmed Sultan Al Mugheiry E-Mail : sultanet@ud.co.tz

Good work. I happen to own a very old book that I picked from discarded items of an old house and in there are most of the photos of the revolution you displayed. So it is pleasing that many people Insha Allah get to see them. Abominable atrocities were committed and people walk about not knowing a thing about them. Well, best of luck on your undertaking.

Well done, What a fantastic site. This site is very informative, at last we can now read in text and see in pictures, more of what is being said about history of Zanzibar before and after the 'bloody' revolution. Keep the good work. More, please, please.

Good job! Many rare information about new and old Zanzibar. This page is really a very important asset to the new generation of Zanzibaris. Add to the list of famous Zanzibari to 10. Also, add one more link: http://www.zanzinet.org/
