More about Tanzania
Politics
According to the constitution of April 25, 1977 (revised several times), Tanzania is a presidential republic with separation of powers, the separation of state and religion and guaranteed basic rights. The basic state order also guarantees the autonomous status of Zanzibar. The head of state, commander-in-chief of the armed forces and supreme owner of the executive is the Union President, who is directly elected for a period of 5 years (one-time re-election permitted). He has extensive powers, appoints the prime minister (appointment must be confirmed by parliament) and the other members of the cabinet, has the right to veto legislation and can dissolve parliament. J. Magufuli has been President of the Republic since 2015.
The legislature lies with the National Assembly (legislative period: 5 years) with a maximum of 394 members, of which 264 are directly elected by majority voting and up to 10 are appointed by the President. In addition, there are 113 women, the General Prosecutor ex officio and 5 representatives from Zanzibar through a quota system. Zanzibar has its own constitution, a house of representatives and an executive branch responsible for internal affairs. Its president is a member of the central government.
In terms of foreign policy, Tanzania focuses in particular on the regional environment, where it takes on a stabilizing and mediating position. In addition to its engagement in the East African Community, the country is also trying to play an active role in the Southern African Development Community (SADC), in the African Union ( AU ) and in the UN. In terms of security policy, v. a. the focus is on the participation in the MONUSCO peace mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congoand in the peace mission in Darfur / Sudan. Tanzania maintains close economic and development relations with the People’s Republic of China. There are border disputes with Malawi over the oil and gas-rich Lake Malawi.
National symbols
The national flag was first hoisted when the states of Zanzibar and Tanganyika were unified in 1964. It combines the flags of both countries in the color scheme. A yellow trimmed black stripe divides the flag diagonally. The resulting triangles are green (on the leech) and blue (on the flying end). Black stands for the people, yellow for the country’s wealth, green symbolizes the country, blue the sea and the island of Zanzibar.
The coat of arms, introduced in 1964, goes back to the coat of arms of the former Tanganyika. It shows in the center a Masai shield divided horizontally into four fields, which rests on a representation of Kilimanjaro; In the yellow uppermost field is the head of a torch of freedom, in the field below the national flag, in the following red field there are crossed axes and hatchets, in the lower silver field blue wavy bars symbolize Lake Tanganyika. The shield is covered with a spear on stakes. Heraldic shield holders are a man on the right and a woman on the left, each holding an elephant tusk. At the lower end of the overall picture, between the coffee and cotton plants, there is a banner with the motto “Uhuru na Umoja” (freedom and unity).
The national holiday is April 26th (Unification Day). It commemorates the creation of the United Republic of Tanzania in 1964.
