Background:

Shortly after independence, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party rule came to an end in 1995 with the first democratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar's semi-autonomous status and popular opposition have led to two contentious elections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite international observers' claims of voting irregularities.  (Source: CIA - The World Factbook) border countries: Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia Official Name:  United Republic of Tanzania  Swahili: Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania  short form: Tanzania former: United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar ISO Country Code: tz Time: Local Time = UTC +3h  Actual Time: Mon-Oct-14  08:40  Country Calling Code: +255 Capital City:
