	Polity IV Country Report 2003: Tanzania (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		With the exception of the electoral contests in Zanzibar (a semi-autonomous island in the Indian Ocean which merged with the mainland state of Tanganyika in 1964 to form the Republic of Tanzania), international observers deemed the national elections of 1995 and 2000 to be procedurally free and institutionally competitive.
		Although this agreement, along with the recent election of Abeid Karume (a CCM moderate from the mainland and son of the country's first president) as President of Zanzibar, are promising signs, the stability of politics in Zanzibar remains tenuous.
		Moreover, the violent political activity in Zanzibar is a continual reminder of the factional nature of political competition in Tanzania and the weakness of democratic institutions and norms.
