Julius Nyerere

1922 CE1999 CE · Dar es Salaam

Julius Nyerere (1922–1999) led Tanganyika to independence from Britain and served as the first president of Tanzania, which was formed by the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964. He promoted a policy known as ujamaa, a form of African socialism centered on rural collectivization and self-reliance, set out in the 1967 Arusha Declaration. His economic program had mixed results, but he was noted for fostering national unity and for voluntarily stepping down from the presidency in 1985. He remained an influential elder statesman until his death in 1999.
