Fun Facts About Tanzania

Whether or not its current leaders care to repair Tanzania’s reputation on the high seas, the effective regulation of ship owners remains problematic. Tanzania was formed by the merger of two newly independent countries in the 1960s. Tanganyika on mainland Africa joined with the islands of Zanzibar just off its coast. However, Zanzibar remains semi-autonomous. This history means the country has two ships’ registries. Mainland Tanzania has a closed registry (it only registers ships of Tanzanian ownership, largely crewed by Tanzanians) while Zanzibar has an international registry open to any ship operator prepared to pay the fee. There are also important symbols on the coat of arms, including a burning torch. This is seen on the golden part of the shield and signifies freedom, enlightenment, and knowledge. The spear in the center of the warrior shield is for the protection of freedom and the crossed axe and hoe are tools the people of the country use to develop it. From 1890, Britain controlled Zanzibar, and Germany controlled Tanganyika (today an area in mainland Tanzania), until Britain gained full control of the region following World War II. In 1964 the i ndependent nation of Tanzania formed when Zanzibar and Tanganyika merged as one. Finally, the green represents the enormous botanical and naturalistic richness of the country, making it one of the most popular safari destinations, thanks to its extraordinary flora and fauna. Tanganyika and Zanzibar have come under Portuguese, German and British control since the 16th century. In 1961, Tanganyika became independent, followed by Zanzibar in 1963. In 1964, the Sultanate of Zanzibar was overthrown and the two states merged to create Tanzania.

The modern flag of today was first adopted in 1964 after Tanganyika and Zanzibar united to form one country. The design has remained unchanged since that time. The decision to have a different flag for Zanzibar in 2005 has been met with criticism. To some, this decision supports separatist sentiments, whereas to others, the flag is a celebration of Zanzibar’s unique identity.
