NYERERE: BETTER IF WHITE SETTLERS LEAVE THAN FIGHT

Tanzania's first president was Pan-African socialist leader Julius Nyerere, who turned Dar es Salaam into a regional headquarters for the southern African liberation struggles.

During Nyerere's time, members of the armed anti-colonial freedom forces flocked to Tanzania to establish a base for their fight against White supremacist rule. This included the Mozambican Liberation Front (FRELIMO), the Zimbabwe African People's Union (ZAPU), the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), the South West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) - in what is now Namibia - and the African National Congress of South Africa.

In this video, Julius Nyerere explains his position on whether or not White settlers should or would stay in southern Africa once majority rule was established to place Africans in seats of power.
