Should Nyerere's cops be withdrawn, the only effective force on Zanzibar would be 300 bullyboys armed with automatic rifles who take orders from Peking-leaning Foreign Minister Abdul Rahman Mohamed, and it is "Babu" who wants Moderate Karume's job. Alarmed, Karume flew to Dar es Salaam to plead with Nyerere, who listened sympathetically and offered a counter proposal: let Zanzibar immediately merge with Tanganyika...

Dar es Salaam (Arabic for "Haven of Peace") further belies its name by serving as the home base for at least seven African insurgent parties dedicated to eradicating colonialism and apartheid from the south.
