  • Tanzania 2018 Human Rights Report
    TANZANIA 2018 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The United Republic of Tanzania is a multiparty republic consisting of the mainland region and the semiautonomous Zanzibar archipelago, whose main islands are Unguja (Zanzibar Island) and Pemba. The union is headed by a president, who is also the head of government. Its unicameral legislative body is the National Assembly (parliament). Zanzibar, although part of the union, has its own government with a president, court system, and legislature and exercises considerable autonomy. In 2015 the country held its fifth multiparty general election. Voting in the union and Zanzibari elections was judged largely free and fair, resulting in the election of a union president (John Magufuli). The chair of the Zanzibar Electoral Commission, however, declared the parallel election for Zanzibar’s president and legislature nullified after only part of the votes had been tabulated, precipitating a political crisis on the islands. New elections in Zanzibar in 2016 were neither inclusive nor representative, particularly since the main opposition party opted not to participate; the incumbent (Ali Mohamed Shein) was declared the winner with 91 percent of the vote. By-elections for ward councilor and parliamentary seats that became vacant due to the death, defection, resignation, or expulsion of the incumbents had egregious irregularities and obstructions that prevented opposition party members from registering and resulting in many races being declared uncontested for the ruling party. On September 19, the opposition Party of Democracy and Development (CHADEMA) announced it was boycotting the by-elections until further notice, saying there had been an “excessive militarization” of the electoral process.

  • 43 Cloves, Slaves, and British Imperialism: the Rise and Fall of Omani Plantation Slavery in Nineteenth-Century Zanzibar Nicole
    Cloves, Slaves, and British Imperialism: The Rise and Fall of Omani Plantation Slavery in Nineteenth-Century Zanzibar Nicole Crisp In the early nineteenth century, a new slave system emerged which would be all but completely eliminated less than one hundred years later. Following the subversion of the Dutch monopoly of clove production in the Malay Archipelago in the 1820s, plantation slavery aimed at clove production erupted throughout Zanzibar, an Omani-controlled archipelago in East Africa. By the 1850s, exportation of cloves had increased to fifteen times the size of which it had been just thirty years earlier. 1 However, this success was not set to last. Cracks emerged in this system by mid-century as the result of the confluence of factors like political instability, price fluctuations, and the availability of arable land. While efforts to produce cloves for export continued, Omani plantation owners had to further weather increasing European, particularly British, imperialism as well as natural disasters. In this essay, I analyze plantation slavery in Zanzibar from two different, yet related angles. First, I will examine how this slave system developed and collapsed in such a relatively short amount of time. In doing so, the seemingly unique case of nineteenth century Zanzibari slavery elicits comparisons and contrasts with a variety of other historical slave systems, especially that of elite domestic slaves in the late Ottoman Empire and plantation slavery in the antebellum Southern United States. In light of these comparisons, we can see how both economic and domestic slavery must be seen as two interconnected forms of slavery, particularly in the Zanzibari context.

  • “Mimi Ni Mtanzania1”: an Analysis of Post-Colonial Nation Building and the Emergence
    1 “Mimi ni Mtanzania1”: An Analysis of Post-Colonial Nation Building and the Emergence of National Identity in Contemporary Tanzania Abstract The United Republic of Tanzania, an East African nation of about 45 million people2, has been overwhelmingly successful in establishing a strong and conscious national identity amongst its citizens. When asked whether they identify more with their respective nation or ethnic group, 88% of Tanzanian respondents chose ‘nation.’ On the other hand, 50% respondents from Senegal, 31% of respondents from Uganda and a mere 17% of respondents from Nigeria chose ‘nation’ (Afrobarometer, 2009; Robinson, 2009). This paper explores the role of colonialism and post-colonial nation building in the establishment of nationalism in contemporary Tanzania. Overall, I argue that while colonization played a role in nationalism in Tanzania, strong national identity is majorly a result of deliberate post-colonial nation building. The paper maintains that the presence of Swahili as a native national language in Tanzania is both a positive by-product of colonization and a reward of persistent post-independence nation building. Post-colonial nationalist efforts such as the 1960s ‘Swahilization’; the 1970s socialist politics, policies and rhetoric; and the cessation of all forms of ethnic politics were all salient factors that critically and emphatically established the Tanzanian3 national identity. 1 Swahili for “I am Tanzanian.” I asked Mohamed Bright, a Tanzanian studying at Virginia Tech, to tell me what he thinks about the presence of national identity in his home country – he first told me, “Mimi ni Mtanzania.” 2 2012 Population and Housing Census.

  • The Threat of Islamism in Sub-Saharan Africa
    Foreign Policy Research Institute E-Notes A Catalyst for Ideas Distributed via Email and Posted at www.fpri.org April 2011 THE THREAT OF ISLAMISM IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA: The Case of Tanzania By Harvey Glickman Harvey Glickman is Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Haverford College and Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. He is currently researching Islamism throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. The states of Africa south of the Sahara, with their large Muslim populations, certainly are vulnerable to the popular unrest sweeping across North Africa and the Gulf region since January 2011. These states present a “backdoor” opening for radical jihadist Islam, which is already a strong presence in Algeria, Morocco, Egypt and, (if Qaddafi lasts) in Libya. With about 25 percent of the world’s Muslim population living in Africa, the overall restrictive economic and political conditions, and an expanding youth population, extrude Islamist ideology as a plausible alternative for self-styled repressed out-groups. Consequently, Sub-Saharan Africa merits more attention for signs of more radical, jihadist Islamism. Islamism is a political ideology, not an offshoot religious cult. Its strategy ranges from violence as a prime tactic to political militancy, to competitive political parties that seek local or national representation in parliaments or local governments. Islamism may spawn violent jihadi groups that dream of recreating a global Islamic community ( umma ) or groups attempting to restore ultra-traditionalist, Salafist tenets of Islam, similar to what prevails in Wahabbist Saudi Arabia. This essay examines both the extent and dynamics of Islamism and radical, violent Islamist groups in Tanzania, the location of the 1998 al Qaeda bombing.

  • 1 the Forgotten Generation of Muscat: Reconstructing Omani
    1 The Forgotten Generation of Muscat: Reconstructing Omani National Identity After the Zanzibar Revolution of 1964 By Molly Patterson After the East-African Afro-Shirazi party overthrew the Omani Sultanate in the Zanzibar revolution of 1964, some of the surviving Swahili-speaking Arabs returned to Oman’s capital city of Muscat to begin new lives. This paper examines the historical experiences of these communities as they reestablished themselves in Omani society, and investigates the impact of Oman’s imperial history in Zanzibar on the post-colonial identity formation of repatriated Omanis in Muscat. Most of the people involved in this study, which I refer to as the “Forgotten Generation of Muscat”, belonged to Omani families that lived East Africa for hundreds of years, and abruptly left their African homes to return to Oman in the wake of Zanzibar’s independence movement. This paper was inspired by my own experiences living in Oman with a “Forgotten Generation” Swahili-speaking Omani family in Muscat while on a FLAS fellowship in 2006-7. Sources for this paper include my own interviews, data from government sources, and a survey of secondary literature to explain the process of re-integration that Swahili speaking families underwent in the post-1964 era. As an outsider, it is impossible for me to fully understand the process of displacement and reintegration that East African Omani families experienced during the post-1964 period. However, as a historian, I hope to increase the scholarly understanding of Oman as part of the wider © 2013 The Middle Ground Journal Number 7, Fall 2013 See Submission Guidelines page for the journal's not-for-profit educational open-access policy 2 Indian Ocean system by mining the themes of social and national identity formation during the early phases of Sultan Qābūs’ government (1970-present).
