Afro-Shirazi Party

Encyclopedia : A : AF : AFR : Afro-Shirazi Party


The Afro-Shirazi Party was the union between the mostly Persian Shiraz Party and the mostly African Afro Party in the Island of Zanzibar. The formation of ASP led to the ouster of the Arabs from power with the Zanzibar Revolution in 1964. ASP joined with the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) to form Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) in January 1977, after the union between Zanzibar and Tanganyika in 1964.
