Khalid bin Barghash of Zanzibar
(Redirected from Khalid ibn Barghash)
Sayyid Khalid bin Barghash Al-Busaid (1874 - 1927) was the sixth Sultan of Zanzibar and the eldest son of the second Sultan of Zanzibar, Sayyid Barghash bin Said Al-Busaid. Khalid briefly ruled Zanzibar (from August 25 to August 27, 1896), seizing power after the death of his uncle. Unfortunately for him, Britain refused to recognize his claim to the throne, resulting in the Anglo-Zanzibar War, generally considered the shortest war in history (36 or 45 minutes, depending on what source you read.) Khalid fled Zanzibar, dying in Mombasa in 1927.
