Meanwhile, Bagash Bin Said, who wielded great power, embarked on his first administrative experience.
He declared himself the First Regent of the Sultanate of Zanzibar, fully representing Sultan Magid Bin Said in managing national affairs.
"Slavery is an evil. Under the influence of wicked men, His Majesty Sultan Magid Bin Said implemented this outdated system detested by the civilized world in Zanzibar, which would inevitably hinder the Sultanate of Zanzibar from integrating into the civilized world and decelerate Zanzibar's development..."
In short, according to Bagash Bin Said, implementing the slave system in the Sultanate of Zanzibar was regressive behavior, an unpardonable crime.
"Therefore, I hereby announce the abolition of the slave system in the Sultanate of Zanzibar effective immediately, and any act of slave trade within the Sultanate of Zanzibar is prohibited."
No sooner had Bagash Bin Said finished speaking than the ministers of Zanzibar became anxious.
