In this Revolution a government with over a century of continuity was toppled in less than a day. Essentially a Settler Society, with well defined Arabic, Indian, Swahili, Comoran and indigenous elements, and ruled by an Hereditary Sultan, the newly independent Nation of Zanzibar vanished in astounding suddenness.
Katika Mapinduzi haya, Serikali ilidumu zaidi ya karne ilipinduliwa si chini ya siku moja. Taifa huru jipya la Zanzibar la jamii ya kisultani inayojumuisha waarabu, wahindi, waswahili, wangazija na wenyeji ikiongozwa na mrithi wa Sultani lilipotea kwa haraka ya ajabu.
