Tanga in Tanzania TANZANIE tanzania. tanga Informations and links Tanga220 000 hab. Map Tanga Photos Tanga Population on 01-Aug-02 : 179400 ------------------------------- Tanga is the most important Tanzanian port after Dar, and lies just south of the Kenyan border. Like Bagamoyo, it has an air of fading decadence about it, and would not feature in any travel guide were it not for the superb beaches which sprawl to the south of the town, and the vibrant night life that transforms the town after dark. It was here that a German expeditionary force led by Colonel von Lettow-Vorbeck (see Selous section) defeated a joint British and Indian landing force in 1914, aided and abetted by millions of angry bees whose hives had been destroyed by gunfire. The tragic, though comical consequences of that battle shaped the opening chapter of William Boyd’s contemporary novel, ‘An Ice Cream War’. Shortly after independence, Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form the nation of Tanzania in 1964. One-party rule came to an end in 1995 with the first democratic elections held in the country since the 1970s. Zanzibar's semi-autonomous status and popular opposition have led to two contentious elections since 1995, which the ruling party won despite international observers' claims of voting irregularities..
