Barghash bin Said of Zanzibar

From Freepedia

Sayyid Barghash bin Said Al-Busaid (1837 - March 26, 1888), son of Said bin Sultan, was the third Sultan of Zanzibar. He ruled Zanzibar from October 7, 1870 to March 26, 1888. Barghash is credited with building much of the infrastructure of Stone Town, including roads, parks, hospitals, piped water, and public baths, including the Hamamni Persian Baths.

Sayyid Barghash also helped abolish the slave trade in Zanzibar, signing an agreement with Britain in 1870, prohibiting slave trade in his kingdom, and closing the great slave market in Mkunazini.
