soma historia hapo chini (nimeshindwa kutafsiri, kwani inglishi iz not richebo) kisha nambie hivi ni nini kilipelekea dar kuitwa bandari ya salama?

Picha hii nimepiga jana, ikionesha bandari ya dar, ambayo haina meli kutokana na uhodari wa upakuaji mizigo wa kisasa uliopo.



Dar es Salaam, formerly Mzizima, is the largest city in Tanzania with an estimated population of 2,500,000. It is also an important economic centre and the former capital city of Tanzania but it continues to serve as the capital for the surrounding Dar es Salaam .

Although inland Dodoma is the official capital, the vast majority of federal government employees live in Dar and most major political figures maintain residences here. Dar es Salaam is located at 6'48' South, 39'17' East (6.8000, 39.2833).

Located on a harbour on the Indian Ocean, its main railways originate in or near the city. Local industries include trade, food products, textiles, cement, and pharmaceuticals. About one half of Tanzania's manufacturing employment is located here despite the fact that Dar holds only ten percent of the population.
The Dar es Salaam Airport connects the city with other African countries, the Middle East as well as Europe.
Dar es Salaam is also the educational center of Tanzania. The city is home to the University of Dar es Salaam, the Open University of Tanzania, the Hubert Kairuki Memorial University (HKMU) as well as the International Medical and Technological University (IMTU). Other institutes of higher education include the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology (DIT) and the College of Business Education (CBE).

Though the city has a low violent crime rate, this is increasing along with the already high number of instances of theft as inequality increases and the amount of money available from Tanzania's thriving aid industry increases. A common nickname for the city is "Bongo" (literally, "brain" in Swahili), which refers to the street smarts necessary to survive there.
The Tazara railway runs from Dar es Salaam to Lusaka, Zambia and produces much of the income in the area.
Administratively, Dar es Salaam In 1859, Albert Roscher of Hamburg became the first European to land in Mzizima ("healthy town"). In 1866 Sultan Seyyid Majid of Zanzibar gave it its present name, an Arabic phrase meaning Haven of Peace. Dar es Salaam fell into decline after Majid's death in 1870, but was revived in 1887, when the German East Africa Company established a station there. The town's growth was facilitated by its role as the administrative and commercial centre of German East Africa and industrial expansion resulting from the construction of the Central Railway Line in the early 1900s.
German East Africa was captured by the British during World War I and from then on referred to as Tanganyika. Dar es Salaam was retained as the territory's administrative and commercial centre. Under British indirect rule, separate European (e.g. Oyster Bay) and African (e.g. Kariakoo and Ilala) areas developed at a distance from the city center. The town's population also included a large amount of South Asians.
After World War II, Dar es Salaam experienced a period of rapid growth. Political developments, including the formation and growth of the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU), led to Tanganyika attaining independence from colonial rule in December 1961. Dar es Salaam continued to serve as its capital, also when in 1964 Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged to form Tanzania. However, in 1973 provisions were made to relocate the capital to Dodoma, a more centrally located city in Tanzania's interior. The relocation process has not yet been completed, and Dar es Salaam remains Tanzania's primary city.
One of the deadly 1998 U.S. embassy bombings occurred in Dar es Salaam; the other was in Nairobi, Kenya.
is broken into 3 districts: Ilala, Kinondoni, and Temeke.

    Anony, rushwa yako tu. Ukitaka kutoa kodi halali inaweza kukuchukua hata miezi sita. Ila kama chai ipo hata siku moja inawezekana.
