CLEAN : Tanzanias 50th anniversary: interview with a historian

The video discusses the challenges faced by Tanzania's union, highlighting cultural differences and lack of consultation during its formation. It examines the current instability and the KATIBA review, which debates the government structure. The ruling party supports a two-government system, while the opposition favors the draft constitution's federal structure.
