One of the most profound speeches I have ever come across by Sheikh Abeid Amani Karume! Read and learn: knowledge of self, unity! Sheikh Karume addressed prison officers from mainland at the People's Palace, Zanzibar, October 26, 1965.
"God has created us and has given us a supreme gift-the brain. We only excel each other in the use of our brains. Those rich in knowledge must be prepared to contribute it to those who lack it... It behoves us all to live as brothers, to love and to respect each other, to work together and not to look at anyone with contempt. You must not be harmful to each other... The Union of our country is a great thing but it is not liked by others. They employ all the means and ways to disrupt our unity because as you know when there is unity, fear is gone and love blossoms among the people. When there is unity people become powerful. These people know that it will be very difficult for them to rule us and they have intention to rule us from the back door..."
