| | Year 2004 showed a good start in Zanzibar but towards the end of the year, the politically motivated killing of a teenager by the members of government sponsored paramilitary, the Coastguards (KMKM) during the voters registration exercise in Pemba, reminds all Zanzibaris of the tough times ahead. | | | However, CUF claims to have a huge following in the area and their efforts to hold political rallies have been consistently denied by the authorities. | | | You can read on this website answers to many questions about Zanzibar, its history, people and culture, economy, natural resources and other related information. |
