Zanzibar the beaches that cried blood

Zanzibar the beaches that cried blood Good nothingness The island was full of life, bustling with the sounds of merchants, the call to prayer and church bells, then suddenly everything settled, and the smell of death spread everywhere, and devastation and destruction spread throughout the island, and that was at the beginning of 1964, and within nine hours of this perverted revolution everything changed Something, and the face of this quiet island changed, and its shores were painted the color of bleeding blood, and the victims of the events killed 20 thousand, and arrested and wounded more than twenty thousand. Speaking of geography, Zanzibar consists of two large islands, "Angoya" and "Temba". The archipelago is located east of the African continent. Zanzibar is an important commercial center in the Indian Ocean, linking the continents of the ancient world. In terms of language, the people of Zanzibar speak the Swahili language, which is a mixture of dialects and languages ​​of all the peoples who settled on the land of this island, including Arabs, Africans, Portuguese and English. The Omanis the heritage of the 15th century "I am trying, with great difficulty, to overcome the scars and wounds of the past, I want to write something that heralds a new promising future, in which the islanders throw their bleak past behind their backs, and look at the horizon with an optimistic eye." This is how the researcher tries to broadcast his feelings as he talks about his research in which he wants to chronicle this important island and monitor the events that passed through it, the peoples who lived on it and the faces that followed its rule. The forgotten tale. Researcher Muhammad Nasir Maori - one of the island's original inhabitants - says that his first ancestors came from Oman more than a thousand years ago, and adds that the island was empty of inhabitants, until fishermen and merchants from Shiraz, Iran, came to it and settled for the first time. Zanzibar was inhabited by immigrants from Yemen a thousand years ago, and it became the center of immigrants from different countries and religions. As for the researcher Abdullah Khamis Ali, who is the head of the Institute of Archeology in Zanzibar, he says: The archaeological research and evidence (archeology) indicate that the Arabs have lived here since the fifth century AD, and that civilizational integration and peaceful coexistence have taken its natural place among the Arabs, Indians and Africans on this island. From a long time ago, and samples of the goods that were marketed in Angoya indicate an almost universal diversity at that time. Islamic manuscripts, Indian spices, Persian beads and some goods from Rome were all in one place. Mr. Khamis continues: As for what is being circulated that the Arabs came here in the nineteenth century only, it is pure fabrication, and the fact is that Sultan Saeed Al Busaidi has moved to Zanzibar in the nineteenth century to reorganize the administrative structure in the state, and to move the capital from Muscat to Zanzibar. In the rocky city "Stone Town", ethnic diversity and religious pluralism are observed through a large number of mosques, amounting to 51 mosques, in addition to Hindu temples and churches, and the manifestations of the greatness of Arab Islamic rule are noted through the city walls, majestic castles and luxurious palaces. Colonialism the hateful face of Europe At the beginning of the sixteenth century AD, the Portuguese were the first power in the Indian Ocean, East Africa and the coasts of Oman, and it took the Arabs more than 150 years before they expelled the Portuguese, and re-established their control over Oman and the coasts of East Africa, including the island of Zanzibar. We point out here that the local residents of the island are the ones who sought the help of the Omani Sultan to send them aid to rid them of Portuguese colonialism, which is a response to those who claim that the Arabs occupied the island by force and seized power there by force. Anti-Slave Trafficking Treaty, signed by Sultan Said with the British in 1822 The slave trade may be the false nail on which the West attaches their colonial tendencies to this island, under the pretext of ridding it of the Arabs who promote this trade, but the truth is completely different. Sultan Said signed with the British the Anti-Slave Trafficking Treaty in 1822, then it was renewed in 1873 on The hand of Sultan Bargash bin Said, and closed the slave market permanently in Zanzibar, and thus all false Western claims that Arabs and Muslims are encouraging this trade were refuted. But the ambitions of the Europeans, particularly the British, were reinforced again at the end of the nineteenth century, especially after the dispute between the sons of Sultan Said over power, and weakened the pillars of the Sultanate. The British reinforced the policy of "divide and rule" among the population for the sake of ease of control of the island, and raised ethnic and religious tendencies among the safe inhabitants of the island, and later in the mid-twentieth century this division was reinforced with the awakening of the spirit of independence that prevailed in the countries of the African continent, which depended mainly on the nationalities of the continent The brown, so that the Arabs and Asians became a strange element on this island. Slavery denouncers false lamentations and crocodile tears The hateful rift between the local population - according to Professor Abdul Sharif - exacerbated the malicious call for the liberation of slaves, and the portrayal of the Arabs as the main reason for the popularity of this trade, and thus the Africans in Zanzibar viewed the Arabs as being the colonizers, not the Europeans, and the invocation of The term slavery and its attachment to the Arabs are among the supplies and tools of colonialism in fueling hatred against Islam and Arabs. And Abdul Sharif adds: It was difficult for the people of Zanzibar, in this polarized state, to think of the mentality of a single Zanzibar nation, consisting of a homogeneous mixture that had coexisted for centuries. Britain establishes parties in Zanzibar on a purely ethnic basis and not on the basis of citizenship Returning to the researcher Muhammad Nasser Maori, who made a comparison between the practices of the West and the Americans against slaves and blacks, and what Islam has done in regulating the relationship between masters and slaves on the basis of gentleness and humanity, and even drying up the sources of slavery, by opening the doors of freeing slaves in many ways. He found that the onslaught of the West The colonizer was on Islam as a religion more than on the Arabs as a nationality. Political life in Zanzibar crystallized in its partisan concept at the hands of the British in 1957, so political parties were formed to participate in the first elections, but Britain was keen that these parties be on a purely ethnic basis, not on the basis of citizenship, so you saw that day a party defending the interests of the Arabs, and there Another party, "Afro-Shirazi", whose nucleus was formed from blacks and Shirazis, was in opposition to the Zanzibari National Party, which was founded by the Arabs, and there are centrist parties that tried in vain to be a conciliator. The January 1964 Revolution suspicious targets On the twelfth of January of the year 1964, the revolution took place, and the coup took place against an elected Swahili-speaking government, which was formed under the chairmanship of Muhammad Shamti Hamani only one month ago. In this respect it must be known that the islanders were divided, and many of them adopted the Western colonial view. Museum expert Ramadan Ali Michano talks about the Arabs, saying: The Arabs came from outside the island and took the rule from the people of Zanzibar by force and seized their lands and properties and their rule was unjust and tyrannical, and they practiced racism in education and their Arab schools received the highest degree of care, while African schools neglected and lacking the basic elements of education. Zanzibar Island is a prosperous commercial center since the era of the Sultan of Oman until the day of the revolution This claim is refuted by many researchers who affirmed that government schools were open to Arabs, Africans, Indians, Muslims, Hindus and others alike, and that nutrition, sleep and education were available to all at the highest level. It is not discrimination or discrimination. There are still different views among many people about the form of life on the island before and after the revolution. History is one, but its formulations are many according to those who write it. However, the thing that almost unites everyone’s views is the economic situation. The country was an important commercial center before the revolution, and it was a meeting place for Maritime trade lines since ancient times, and the island was the main center of the clove trade, but after the revolution, the markets stagnated and the rate of economic growth fell sharply. The owners of the groove were killed sedition with a British smell After the revolution, the Arabs in particular and some of those who supported them from the blacks were subjected to the worst forms of oppression, marginalization and humiliation, and many of them were burned to death. They worked in agriculture and other hard work, and many of them became destitute poor after they were among the wealthy of the country. 20 thousand people were killed in a massacre against the Arabs in Zanzibar, which East Africa has not known like in history The revolt was not limited to the local islanders only, but they received enormous support from the British, and mercenaries fought with them in large numbers from the Congo. Something like ethnic cleansing happened in the town of Bambi, where a rumor circulated, the source of which is unknown, that the Arabs would kill all the blacks on Monday. There were no blacks and Africans except that they prepared their equipment and attacked the Arabs in their homes and villages, killing and burning them, resulting in 20,000 deaths. One person was killed in one day, in an unprecedented massacre in East Africa, and it is clear that behind this rumor are various parties that have an interest in demonizing the Arabs and Muslims on the island. The Butcher of the Revolution, John Okello, a Ugandan military leader Union with Tanganyika Deviation of the revolution from its course After the revolution, the name "Karumi", who headed the country after the revolution, appeared, and later the Zanzibar archipelago was annexed to "Tanganyika", which was headed by the strong man "Nyerere", to become Tanzania, and the name "John Okello", the Ugandan military leader who He has been described as the de facto leader of the revolution. It seems that the dream of "Karumi" and with him the revolutionaries of Zanzibar is an independent country, which later enters into a federation with the countries of East Africa, but what happened that "Nyerere" exerted pressure on the revolutionaries, may be due to his direct intervention in the revolution and its support, as well as Britain's position on the island, which You see that it does not amount to being a separate independent state, so he was forced to accept this union, but the citizens of Zanzibar are still dreaming until this moment of independence from Tanzania. The Umma Party, accused of killing Karumi, aimed to overthrow Sultan Jamshid and take control of the state The Rebel Umma Party Falling into the trap On the way to Dar es Salaam, which was the capital of Tanzania for more than twenty years and was the main city in the country, the difference in religious manifestations can be seen from it in Zanzibar, but the visit is worth it. The researcher will meet a founding member of the Zanzibar Ummah Party, the party that allied with The Afro-Shirazi party that carried out the revolution, and this person was a main suspect in the murder of the leader "Karumi". Adam Shafi, the important guest whose researcher went to Dar es Salaam to meet him, says: Before the revolution, the Umma Party had no political weight, but we were fortunate that the party’s youth had received military training in Egypt, Cuba and other countries. I was one of them. I received my training in Egypt, the goal of the revolution was to overthrow Sultan “Jamshid” and seize the joints of the state, but things got out of hand, and the revolution deviated from its course, and many civilians were killed and women were raped. We are sad that this happened, but it happens in all wars, it is normal in Such conditions. After the killing of "Karumi", the Umma Party was accused of assassinating him. Mr. Adam Shafi continues and says that a trap has been set for the Umma Party to enter intensively in managing the affairs of the country after the revolution, and when some circles decided to liquidate Karume, it appeared to the media and the public that the Umma Party is the stakeholder Grande in getting rid of Karumi, but no one has evidence yet of their involvement in it. The Catholic Church was built on land given to her by the Sultan of Zanzibar Christianization campaigns Forbidden to do away with a fool?! It became clear that the main goal of the revolution was to remove the Arab and Islamic character from the island, and to cut off the road to the Islamic tide coming to Africa through Zanzibar, but it seems that the efforts of Western circles have failed to pass this goal, and although official statistics on religious forces are prohibited in Tanzania, Non-governmental organizations say that the number of Muslims is equal - if not more - than the number of Christians in them. Returning to Professor Sherif Abdel, he raises another issue that increases the confusion of the researcher. Sherif says: There is another confusing question; Why criticize Muslims when opening their religious institutes on the island, when they represent more than 95% of the population, while turning a blind eye to the expansion of missionary campaigns to evangelize the citizens there? Indeed, Western countries such as Germany were asking the Muslim sultan to allow missionary campaigns to spread the “Word of God” on the island, and the approval was always theirs, which means that these colonial powers were playing two strings at the same time, controlling trade and economy on the one hand. On the other hand, the downsizing of Islam and reducing its role in life on the island. On the surface, everyone talks about coexistence and homogeneity among the residents of Zanzibar and the transcendence of religious and ethnic differences, but the reality on the ground says otherwise. Our researcher returned from Dar es Salaam and is still searching for answers to vexing questions; Why do Egypt and Algeria - two Arab countries - support the African revolutionaries against the Arabs? Was this the effect of the communist tide, which was hostile to Islam and other religions? Why was Britain playing a double contradictory role with the Arab Sultan and his government on the one hand, and then with the federal government in Tanzania and its military arms in Zanzibar on the other? Despite the different ethnicities from which the nation of Zanzibar was formed, they all agree on the love of the homeland and the land and dream of independence from Tanzania One Zanzibar nation The dream of independence from Tanzania Most aspects of daily life in Zanzibar still reveal clearly and unequivocally the extent of intermingling with the Arab-Islamic civilization in the various aspects of people’s lives, from marriage ceremonies to wedding celebrations and holidays, and from musical instruments to types of daily food, and even Arabic words and words occupy More than a quarter of the Swahili language spoken in the country. All attempts to sow discord and spread a spirit of hatred among members of the one Zanzibar community are doomed to failure - according to the expression of many indigenous people - but all this did not prevent the researcher from saying that the economic situation after more than fifty years since the revolution is still in constant decline. And that union with Tanzania was not in the interest of the island's residents, and that the dream of independence from Tanzania is still in the minds of most of the island's population.

The Butcher of the Revolution, John Okello, a Ugandan military leader 

Union with Tanganyika Deviation of the revolution from its course
