	Commanding Heights : Benjamin Mkapa \| on PBS
		BENJAMIN MKAPA: My reaction is to acknowledge that this is a smaller world than it was a generation ago because of the revolution in technology, in communications, because of the economic integration of nations, because of the evolution of a more interactive political system globally.
		BENJAMIN MKAPA: When we became independent, we had been part of the British empire during the colonial days, although we were very much on the periphery of the empire because we were a United Nations Trust Territory.
		BENJAMIN MKAPA: I talk to them about greater efforts to increase the debt relief that we have become eligible for, because frankly, grateful as we are for the interim debt relief that we have obtained and which will be consolidated, I hope, with the completion date later this year, the relief is inadequate.

		In elections that were deemed to be largely free by international observers, Benjamin Mkapa became the first democratically elected president of Tanzania.
		This hegemony was reaffirmed with the presidential elections of October 2000 in which President Mkapa was easily reelected with over 70% of the popular vote.
		Given that the liberalization of Tanzanian politics is being pursued from the "top-down," through the cautious leadership of the CCM rather than through grassroots mobilization and agitation of opposition forces, national elections continue to be biased in favor of CCM candidates.
