Tranquility would prevail only when the people felt they could engage the rulers in a meaningful dialogue about how they were to be ruled and even have a say about who should be among the leading personalities in Zanzibar. These values clashed with the" manifest destiny" values of Imperial Britain of that time. Somehow in that very brief clash, Zanzibar managed to send her cry for self-determination echoing through history.
Utulivu ungeweza kuwepo pale watu wangejisikia wanaweza kuwahusisha katika mazungumzo ya maana kuhusu jinsi gani wangetawaliwa na hata kuwa na sauti kuhusu nani awe miongoni mwa watu wanaongoza Zanzibar. Maslahi haya muhimu yaligongana na maslahi yaliyokuwa wazi ya Ubeberu wa Uingereza kwa wakati huo. Kwa namna fulani katika mgongano huo wa muda mfupi, Zanzibar iliweza kutoa na kufikisha kilio chake cha kujiamini kinachosikika katika historia nzima.
