His rule extended for thousands of miles, west and north-west of Lake Tanganyika, and his name was known and feared in most of East and Central Africa. Great explorers such as Livingstone, Cameron, Stanley and Wismann knew him well and made extensive use of his power over the African tribes and his intimate knowledge of the regions they explored. Leopold, King of the Belgians, appointed him Governor of the Congo Free State, and the Sultan of Zanzibar wanted to appoint him Wali (Governor) of Tabora, the important stronghold of Zanzibar Arab in Central anganyika. Today, Tippu Tip cannot be regarded as a hero, since his exploits and gains were at the expense of other human beings. 6173.
