The new generation of Muslims no longer believe in the official history of TANU and the propaganda that it was Nyerere who single handed defeated the British. Muslims instead are in their own ways honouring the forgotten heroes of independence movement and in so doing invoking emotions particularly in the new generation to stand up against oppression as their forefathers had done against foreign domination. Muslim heroes of the Maji Maji War like Suleiman Mamba, Ali Songea Mbano, [60] and Muslim nationalists like Abdulwahid and Ally Sykes, Dossa Aziz, Sheikh Hassan bin Amir, Sheikh Suleiman Takadir, Sheikh Yusuf Badi, Bibi Titi Mohamed, Bibi Tatu bint Mzee, Bilali Rehani Waikela, [61] Ali Migeyo and others are now part of nationalist history which was suppressed for many years. [62] Muslims are demanding the restoration of their history and honour as true liberators of Tanganyika. This is unprecedented.
Forsyth-Thompson alikuwa ni ofisa wa usalama kwenye ofisi ya Balozi wa Kiingereza Zanzibar na punde tu kabla ya mapinduzi alikabidhiwa kazi na Katibu Mkuu wa Kiingereza, Bwana Mervyn Vice Smithyman, katika ofisi ya Waziri Mkuu Bwana Mohammed Shamte kuleta mabadiliko katika vyombo vya usalama vya Zanzibar. Alipokuwapo Nairobi na tayari kuondoka kwenda Cape Town, Forsyth-Thompson alitowa ripoti muhimu ambayo ilipelekwa Commonwealth Relations Office, London kwa njia ya telegram na kopi zikapelekwa ubalozi wa Kiingereza Dar es Salaam, Aden, Kampala, Washington na Cape Town. Ujumbe huo ulikuwa ni mfupi ukiufananisha na ripoti yake yenye kurasa nane aliyoiandika alipokuwa Nairobi tarehe 10 Februari 1964.
