Zanzibar Agriculture Nationalized by Karume
Zanzibar's revolutionary government nationalized all agriculture on the island, taking clove and coconut plantations from private owners and placing them under government control. The move, announced by President Abeid Karume at a rally, also targeted private clubs deemed racial. The island lies off East Africa, with cloves accounting for most export trade and Arabs historically owning most plantations. The decision follows eight weeks after an armed revolt that brought the current regime to power.
