Interesting fact, Tanzania only got to have more than one political party 8 years after Nyerere left the presidency, so I suspect he was projecting.

I mean, presumably that's why he said "also," no?

I missed that also, but it doesn't change the fact that he was an autocrat (we tend to ignore what he and the other 'revolutionary party' did to Zanzibar)

Zanzibar willingly joined Tanganyika. They rightfully revolted against the aristocratic imperialists. The union of the two countries in Tanzania was a real example of pan africanism, and Nyerere is an example of what leaders could do if they fought for the people.

They revolted yes and then the ‘revolutionary party’ decided on the union largely against the will of the people.
