Why Zanzibar had a Bloody Revolution in 1964

On the night of January 12, 1964 a band of some 300 people violently seized the Island of Unguja in what became known as the Zanzibar Revolution of 1964. This group was ostensibly led by a little known man named John Okello, who had lived on Pemba Island, having come to the Islands some years earlier from Uganda.
