CHAPTER THIRTY THREE:THE ZANZIBAR REVOLUTION OF 1964

On January 12, 1964 the people of Zanzibar woke up to hear a certain Field Marshall John Okello raving over the radio: "I have an army equal to a swarm of locusts. The power behind me is 999,999,000. Those who oppose me will be cut into pieces, thrown into the ocean, be burnt, or tied on trees for novice marksman to practice on. I want Mr. Harusi to kill himself and his sons, or we will do it for him."
