In October, Germany President Frank-Walter Steinmeier toured Tanzania and part of his itinerary was a visit to the Maji Maji Memorial Museum, the burial site of locals executed by Germany colonial agents in Songea during the famous Maji Maji Rebellion.

The German leader asked for forgiveness for the killings, torture and atrocities of the colonial administration in Tanzania.
