Seyyid Sir Jamshid bin Abdullah bin Khalifa Al bu Said,
last reigning Sultan of Zanzibar,born September 16th 1929,
died December 30th 2024.

Zanzibar was independent of Oman from 1856,having been an
Omani colony since the 1690s,as brothers from the reigning
dynasty divided the empire...it fell under a British protectorate
in 1890 as part of British efforts to end the slave trade.

In July 1963 Jamshid succeeded his father as Sultan;
in December 1963 the British gave up the protectorate;
in January 1964 the black African majority revolted and
overthrew the Sultanate,setting up a People's Republic
and sending Jamshid into exile;
in April 1964 they united with the Republic of Tanganyika
(formed December 1962) to form the United Republic of
Tanganyika and Zanzibar;
in October 1964 this was renamed the 
United Republic of Tanzania.

Jamshid spent decades in the United Kingdom before his
cousin Haitham bin Tariq became Sultan of Oman and 
allowed him to take up residence there.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
