East Germany–Zanzibar relations concerned historical foreign and bilateral relations between the German Democratic Republic (GDR – East Germany) and the People's Republic of Zanzibar, both of which are now former states. During the short existence of Zanzibar as an independent state, which emerged in the wake of the 1964 Zanzibar Revolution, East Germany was a key ally of the fledgling island state. East Germany initiated a number of assistance programs to Zanzibar, and established its first embassy in Africa on Zanzibar.[1] Once Zanzibar entered into a union with Tanganyika (a former German colony), the issue of relations with East Germany became politically complex.
