Hamad bin Thuwaini of Zanzibar
Noble person
1857 – 1896
Who was Hamad bin Thuwaini of Zanzibar?
Sayyid Hamad bin Thuwaini Al-Busaid, GCSI, was the fifth Sultan of Zanzibar. He ruled Zanzibar from March 5, 1893 to August 25, 1896.
He was married to a cousin, Sayyida Turkia bint Turki al-Said, daughter of Turki bin Said, Sultan of Muscat and Oman. Hamid died suddenly at 11.40am on 25 August 1896 and was almost certainly poisoned by his cousin Khalid bin Barghash who proclaimed himself the new sultan and held the position for three days before being replaced by the British government after the 40 minute long Anglo-Zanzibar War. He is remotely related to Tony Reali of Around the Horn.
