BagamoyoTanzania, is a town founded at the end of the 18th century. It was (also spelled Bagamoyo) the original capital of German East Africa and was one of the most important trading ports along the East African coast.Bagamoyo was the most important trading entrepot of the east central coast of Africa in the late 19th century. Bagamoyo's history has been influenced by Indian and Arab traders, by the German colonial government and by Christian missionaries. About 5 km (3 mi) south of Bagamoyo, the Kaole Ruins with remnants of two mosques and a couple of tombs can be dated back to the 13th century, showing the importance of Islam in those early Bagamoyo times. Until the middle of the 18th century, Bagamoyo was a small and insignificant trading center where most of the population were fishermen and farmers. The main trading goods were fish, salt, and gum, among other things. In the late 18th century Muslim families settled in Bagamoyo, all of which were relatives of Shamvi la Magimba in Oman. They made their living by enforcing taxes on the native population and by trading in salt, gathered from the Nunge coast north of Bagamoyo. In the first half of the 19th century, Bagamoyo became a trading port for ivory and the slave trade, with traders coming from the African interior, from places as far as MorogoroLake Tanganyika and Usambara on their way to Zanzibar. This explains the meaning of the word Bagamoyo ("Bwaga-Moyo") which means "Lay down your Heart" in Swahili. It is disputed whether this refers to the slave trade which passed through the town (i.e. "give up all hope") or to the porters who rested in Bagamoyo after carrying 35 lb cargos on their shoulders from the Great Lakes region (i.e. "take the load off and rest"). Since there is little evidence to support that Bagamoyo was a major slave port (Kilwa, much further south, has earned this status[citation needed]), and that tens of thousands of porters arrived at Bagamoyo annually in the latter half of the 19th century, it is more likely that the name of the town derives from the latter interpretation.

  • https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3018217/china-tanzania-talks-get-us10-billion-bagamoyo-port-project Discussions are ongoing to get the China-backed US$10 billion Bagamoyo Port project in Tanzania, which was “suspended indefinitely” by the east African nation’s president because of disagreements over the terms, back on track, its ambassador to Beijing said on Thursday. The troubled project was “not off the table” and the remaining issues could be sorted after consultations between the Tanzanian government and investor China Merchants Port Holdings, Mbelwa Kairuki told reporters during a visit to Hong Kong. Of the 29 issues still to be resolved, four might require parliamentary action – such as formulating a legal mechanism for the operation of the special economic zone alongside the port – he said.

Dar es Salaam (from Arabicدار السلام‎‎ Dār as-Salām ("the place of peace"), formerly Mzizima) is the largest city of TanzaniaUntil 1974 Dar es Salaam served as Tanzania’s capital city which is since the completed move in 1996 Dodoma. Nevertheless, it remains focus of the permanent central government bureaucracy and is Tanzania's most prominent city in arts, fashion, media, music, film and television. It is Tanzania's leading financial center with the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE) being the country's first and most important stock exchange market.[4] The city is the leading arrival and departure point for most tourists who visit tourism areas in Tanzania like the national parks for safaris and the islands of Zanzibar. Dar es Salaam is also the largest and most populous Swahili-speaking city in the world.In the 19th century, Mzizima (Kiswahili for "healthy town") was a coastal fishing village on the periphery of Indian Ocean trade routes.[6][7] In 1865 or 1866, Sultan Majid bin Said of Zanzibar began building a new city very close to Mzizima[7]and named it Dar es Salaam. The name is commonly translated as "abode/home of peace", based on the Arabic dar ("house"), and the Arabic es salaam ("of peace").[7] Dar es Salaam fell into decline after Majid's death in 1870, but was revived in 1887 when the German East Africa Company established a station there. The town's growth was facilitated by its role as the administrative and commercial centre of German East Africa and industrial expansion resulting from the construction of the Central Railway Line in the early 1900s. German East Africa was captured by the British during World War I and became Tanganyika, with Dar es Salaam the administrative and commercial centre. Under British indirect rule, separate European (e.g., Oyster Bay) and African (e.g., Kariakoo and Ilala) areas developed at a distance from the city centre. The city's population also included a large number of south Asians. After World War II, Dar es Salaam experienced a period of rapid growth. Political developments, including the formation and growth of the Tanganyika African National Union, led to Tanganyika attaining independence from colonial rule in December 1961. Dar es Salaam continued to serve as its capital, even when in 1964 Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form Tanzania. In 1973, however, provisions were made to relocate the capital to Dodoma, a more centrally located city in the interior. The relocation process has not yet been completed, and Dar es Salaam remains Tanzania's primary city. In 1967, the Tanzanian government declared the Ujamaa policy, that set Tanzania into a socialist path. The move slowed down the potential growth of the city as the government encouraged people not to move in cities but stay in Ujamaa socialist villages. But by 1980's the Ujamaa policy proved to be a failure into combating increasing poverty, hunger, and delayed development that Tanzania faced. This led to the 1980s liberalization policy that virtually ended socialism and its spirit within the Tanzania's government. The move led to increasing migration of rural dwellers from rural areas into cities with Dar es Salaam becoming the leading city in receiving migrants from rural areas.



Laetoli is a site in Tanzania, dated to the Plio-Pleistocene and famous for its hominin footprints, preserved in volcanic ash. The site of the Laetoli footprints (Site G) is located 45 km south of Olduvai gorge. The location and tracks were discovered by archaeologist Mary Leakey in 1976, and were excavated by 1978. Based on analysis of the footfall impressions "The Laetoli Footprints" provided convincing evidence for the theory of bipedalism in Pliocene hominins and received significant recognition by scientists and the public. Since 1998, paleontological expeditions have continued under the leadership of Dr. Amandus Kwekason of the National Museum of Tanzania and Dr. Terry Harrison of New York University, leading to the recovery of more than a dozen new hominin finds, as well as a comprehensive reconstruction of the paleoecology.

馬拉區Mara Region is one of Tanzania's 31 administrative regions. The regional capital is the municipality of MusomaThe Mara Region is the home of Tanzania's first president, Julius Nyerere. The Mara Region was also the birthplace of Benga music.[citation needed]


 莫羅戈羅 Morogoro is the capital of the Morogoro Region. It is also known informally as "Mji kasoro bahari", which translates as "city short of an ocean/port".Morogoro lies at the base of the Uluguru Mountains and is a centre of agriculture in the region. The Sokoine University of Agriculture is based in the city. A number of missions are also located in the city, providing schools and hospitals. Morogoro is the home of Salim Abdullah, who was the founder of the Cuban Marimba jazz band, and the Morogoro Jazz Band, another well-known band established in 1944.[4] From the mid-1960s to the 1970s, Morogoro was home to one of Tanzania's most influential and celebrated musicians, Mbaraka Mwinshehe, a lead guitarist and singer-songwriter.Morogoro is home to the Amani Centre, which has helped over 3,400 disabled people in the surrounding villages.莫羅戈羅盛產水稻、甘蔗和熱帶水果與蔬菜。在殖民時代,莫羅戈羅市郊有大面只的劍麻種植園,作為出口生產的經濟作物。坦尚尼亞是世界上第二大生產國。
Im Jahre 1904 wurde Morogoro Sitz des Bezirksamtes Morogoro von Deutsch-Ostafrika. Als im Jahre 1907 die Tanganjikabahn Morogoro erreichte, hatte der Ort etwa 800 Einwohner. Durch den Bahnanschluss nahm Morogoro einen schnellen Aufschwung. Es hatte 1910 schon doppelt soviele Einwohner und 1913 ungefähr 3000. 1910 wurde in Morogoro eine Fruchtkulturstation gegründet und die Anzucht von Obstbäumen begann, mit der Abgabe von Saat und Pflänzlingen an die Bevölkerung.1963 verlegte der südafrikanische African National Congress (ANC) auf der Grundlage einer Kooperationsofferte des damaligen tansanischen Präsidenten Julius Nyerere Organisationsstrukturen (Provisional Headquarters) nach Morogoro. Seit 1965 galt dieser Ort als Hauptquartier des ANC, das von 1966 an voll funktionsfähig arbeitete. Der Secretary General des ANC, Alfred Nzo, hatte in Morogoro seinen Sitz. Das Zentralkommando (MK Central Operations HQ) seiner militärischen Organisation MK war hier bis 1976 ansässig. Seine beiden Hauptkommandos für die West- und Ostfront residierten später in Maputo (ab 1976) und Lusaka (ab 1977).Im Jahre 1969 fand hier die 1. Nationale Konsultativkonferenz des ANC statt, in deren Verlauf eine grundlegende Überprüfung und Neuausrichtung seiner politischen Strategie erfolgte. Dazu zählte das Verhältnis zwischen den eigenen politischen und militärischen Aktivitäten, die Reorganisation seiner Untergrundstruktur in Südafrika und die weitere Vernetzung mit anderen nationalen Befreiungsbewegungen im südlichen Afrika.Nahe der Stadt existierte von 1978 bis 1992 das Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College des ANC. Diese Anlage war eine Exil-Bildungseinrichtung während der Apartheidsperiode in Südafrika, die ebenso mit Unterstützung von Julius Nyerere seit 1977 geschaffen wurde. Das Lehrpersonal bestand aus einer international zusammengesetzten Gruppe. Nach seiner Schließung wurden Teilbereiche in die Sokoine University of Agriculture integriert.


The Olduvai Gorge or Oldupai Gorge in Tanzania is one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world; it has proven invaluable in furthering understanding of early human evolution. A steep-sided ravine in the Great Rift Valley that stretches across East Africa, it is about 48 km (30 mi) long, and is located in the eastern Serengeti Plainswithin the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the Arusha Region, about 45 kilometres (28 miles) from Laetoli, another important archaeological site of early human occupation. The British/Kenyan paleoanthropologist-archeologist team Mary and Louis Leakey established and developed the excavation and research programs at Olduvai Gorge which achieved great advances of human knowledge and world-renowned status.The gorge takes its name from the Maasaiword oldupai which means "the place of the wild sisal" as the East African wild sisal (Sansevieria ehrenbergii) grows abundantly throughout the gorge area. Homo habilis, probably the first early human species, occupied Olduvai Gorge approximately 1.9 million years ago (mya); then came a contemporary australopithecineParanthropus boisei, 1.8 mya, followed by Homo erectus, 1.2 mya. Our species Homo sapiens, which is estimated to have emerged roughly 300,000 years ago, is dated to have occupied the site 17,000 years ago.

  • https://www.ft.com/content/36098722-4623-11e8-8ae9-4b5ddcca99b3 Tanzania’s government has come up with a scheme that could prove even more draconian: it plans to charge hundreds of dollars a year for the privilege of blogging. As part of new online regulations, bloggers will be required to pay hefty registration and annual licence fees that add up to roughly $920 — prohibitive for most in a country with a nominal per capita income of under $900. In proportion to GDP, the Tanzanian registration and licence fee would be the equivalent of asking Americans to pay nearly $60,000 to start a blog.

- http://www.reuters.com/article/us-tanzania-usa-idUSKCN0WV1UZ A U.S. aid agency has canceled nearly $500 million of funding for Tanzania after disputed elections in the Zanzibar archipelago of the east African country. The U.S. government's Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) said the March 20 vote in semi-autonomous Zanzibar violated Tanzania's commitment to democracy and free and fair elections. The agency's board said Tanzania has "engaged in a pattern of actions inconsistent with MCC’s eligibility criteria", and it had voted to suspend its partnership with the government. A Tanzanian government official said the canceled U.S. funding was marginal and would not have a direct impact on the government's upcoming 2016/17 budget. Tanzania won a five-year package of grants in 2008 worth $698 million from MCC, an independent U.S. government foreign aid agency, but the award of a second round of grants has now been shelved.

German East Africa (German: Deutsch-Ostafrika) (GEA) was a German colony in the African Great Lakes region, which included present-day Burundi, Rwanda, and the mainland part of Tanzania. GEA's area was 994,996 square kilometres (384,170 sq mi),[1][2] which was nearly three times the area of present-day Germany, and double the area of metropolitan Germany then. The colony was organised when the German military was asked in the late 1880s to put down a revolt against the activities of the German East Africa Company. It ended with Imperial Germany's defeat in World War I. Ultimately, GEA was divided between Britain, Belgium and Portugal and was reorganised as a mandate of the League of Nations.
