Law enforcement in 19th century Zanzibar
December 14, 2012 6:37 PM Subscribe
In Zanzibar in 1870, was there any kind of law enforcement? If so, what kind?
My Google-fu is failing me. I'm curious as to whether there were police of some sort on the street, or soldiers under the Sultan's orders to "keep the peace" or whatnot, or whether it was a complete free-for-all.
Any information would be much appreciated! Thank you.

Numerous sources of history for the Swahili Coast were collated here, particularly the work of Dr Chapurukha M. Kusimba. Perhaps it might help?
