People's Republic of Zanzibar
The People's Republic of Zanzibar was an African state founded in 1964, consisting of the islands of the Zanzibar Archipelago. It existed for less than a year before it merged with Tanganyika to create the United Republic of Tanzania.
== History ==
In the wake of the Zanzibar Revolution, a Revolutionary Council was established by the ASP and Umma parties to act as an interim government, with Abeid Karume heading the council as President and Abdulrahman Mohammad Babu serving as the Minister of External Affairs. The country was renamed the People's Republic of Zanzibar; the new government's first acts were to permanently banish the Sultan and to ban the Zanzibar Nationalist Party and Zanzibar and Pemba People's Party.〔.〕 Seeking to distance himself from the volatile John Okello, Karume quietly sidelined him from the political scene, although he was allowed to retain his self-bestowed title of field marshal.〔〔 However, Okello's revolutionaries soon began reprisals against the Arab and Asian population of Unguja, carrying out beatings, rapes, murders, and attacks on property.〔〔 He claimed in radio speeches to have killed or imprisoned tens of thousands of his "enemies and stooges",〔 but actual estimates of the number of deaths vary greatly, from "hundreds" to 20,000. Some Western newspapers give figures of 2,000–4,000;〔.〕 the higher numbers may be inflated by Okello's own broadcasts and exaggerated reports in some Western and Arab news media.〔 The killing of Arab prisoners and their burial in mass graves was documented by an Italian film crew, filming from a helicopter, for ''Africa Addio'' and this sequence of film comprises the only known visual document of the killings. Many Arabs fled to safety in Oman,〔 although by Okello's order no Europeans were harmed.〔 The post-revolution violence did not spread to Pemba.〔
By 3 February, Zanzibar was finally returning to normality, and Karume had been widely accepted by the people as their president.〔.〕 A police presence was back on the streets, looted shops were re-opening, and unlicensed arms were being surrendered by the civilian populace.〔 The revolutionary government announced that its political prisoners, numbering 500, would be tried by special courts. Okello formed the Freedom Military Force (FMF), a paramilitary unit made up of his own supporters, which patrolled the streets and looted Arab property. The behaviour of Okello's supporters, his violent rhetoric, Ugandan accent, and Christian beliefs were alienating many in the largely moderate Zanzibari and Muslim ASP, and by March many members of his FMF had been disarmed by Karume's supporters and the Umma Party militia. On 11 March Okello was stripped of his rank of Field Marshal,〔〔〔.〕 and was denied entry when trying to return to Zanzibar from a trip to the mainland. He was deported to Tanganyika and then to Kenya, before returning destitute to his native Uganda.〔
In April, the government formed the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and completed the disarmament of Okello's remaining FMF militia.〔 On 26 April Karume announced that a union had been negotiated with Tanganyika to form the new country of Tanzania.〔.〕 The merger was seen by contemporary media as a means of preventing communist subversion of Zanzibar; at least one historian states that it may have been an attempt by Karume, a moderate socialist, to limit the influence of the radically left-wing Umma Party.〔〔 However, many of the Umma Party's socialist policies on health, education and social welfare were adopted by the government.〔
