One can speculate that one reason why Dourado was not involved was because he was ‘inherited’ from the previous ZNP/ZPPP (Zanzibar Nationalist Party-Zanzibar and Pemba People's Party) regime and the revolutionary government was hesitant to involve him in such a sensitive matter.
Lakini huu ni unafiki wa hawa wahafidhina wanaota kurudisha Zanzibar ya kabla ya Mapinduzi kung'ang'ana na Zanzibar ni nchi wakati wao ndio walioshangilia (hata mimi pia) maamuzi ya kikatiba kupitia mahakama ya rufaa katika kesi ya watu wao wa CUF waliokuwa na kesi ya uhaini lakini baadae wakaona hukumu hiyo chungu pale ilipopingana na matakwa yao wapinga Muungano.
