ALICHOKIANDIKA RAIS WA KENYA, UHURU KENYATTA KATIKA UKURASA WAKE WA FACEBOOK BAADA YA KUHUDHURIA MAADHIMISHO YA MIAKA 50 UA MUUNGANO WA TANZANIA

Today together with other Heads of State and Government, retired Presidents and other dignitaries, we joined Tanzanians in commemorating the United Republic of Tanzania's Union Day. The ceremony marked the Union between the mainland Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964. Tanzania has been the envy of many nations for the unity and peace that prevails. I share President Kikwete's view that if Tanganyika and Zanzibar succeeded in merging to form a united republic, African unity is possible.
