Yesterday, the President of the Republic Of Uganda H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni was in zanzibar city with other African leaders, celebrating the 60th Independence of Zanzibar. In his Twitter post he said;
” I attended the 60th-anniversary celebrations of Zanzibar’s independence at Uwanja Wa Amaan Stadium in Zanzibar City.
I congratulate the people of Zanzibar, the entire Republic and the People of Tanzania on this special historic occasion. The efforts of the revolutionaries, led by His Excellency Abeid Amani Karume, ensured that Zanzibar had an excellent opportunity to practice pure African principles of governance—governance that believes in African unity rather than divide and rule.
Working with Mwalimu Nyerere, Zanzibar showed the rest of Africa that if two countries can agree to come together as one, it is possible for the rest of Africa. I strongly believe in unity as a driver for broader markets, a means to rapid development, and an answer to external pressures. Once again, I congratulate the people of Zanzibar and Tanzania.”
