TANGANYIKA (TANZANIA SINCE 1964) was part of German East Africa from 1885 to 1918. It became a British League of Nations mandate between 1922 and 1946 and a British United Nations Trusteeship Terri-tory between 1946 and 1961. On December 9, 1961, Tanganyika gained independence from the British, and in 1964 it merged with Zanzibar, a former British protectorate located thirty- seven kilometers (twenty- three miles) from the coast of the mainland, to become the United Republic of Tanzania (Lal 2015).1 Mainland Tanzania shares its border with eight other countries— Kenya, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi, Zambia, and Mozambique. The country is administratively divided into thirty- one regions (mikoa), and each region is further divided into districts (wilaya) and wards (kata).Tanzania is a multiethnic, multicultural, and multilingual country; Kiswahili is the official language spoken by all Tanzanians. Compared with some of its immediate neighbors, in particular Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda, Tanzania has prided itself on the peaceful coexistence of peo-ple with different ethnic and religious identities. As Lofchie (2014, 10) points out, “Tanzanians do not perceive or describe their political pro-cess as one in which ethnic communities are pitted in win- lose adver-sarial relationships against one another” (see also Kelsall 2002, 598). Although Tanzania is a multiparty constitutional democracy, the ruling party— Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM)— the then Tanganyika African National Union (TANU)— has remained in power since the country’s independence in 1961. CCM has singularly formulated policies related to all sectors of the economy through centralized control, including within the natural resources sector— encompassing conservation, tourism, and the extractive sector (Nelson, Nshala, and Rodgers 2007). Opposition political parties remain weak and underresourced and under constant threat of being banned from holding rallies and participating in national elections. This was especially the case during Tanzania’s former president John Magufuli’s time in power— from November 2015 to his death in March of 2021 (Cheeseman, Matfess, and Amani 2021)..
