Baada ya kusoma hukumu ya majaji wa mahakama ya rufaa katika kesi ya S.M.Z. vs. Machano Khamis Ali & Others (Criminal Application No. 8 of 2000) [2000] TZCA 1 (21 November 2000)

That Article permits the Government of the United Republic only to raise and maintain military forces of any kind."
Pia katika maelezo ya hukumu hiyo, inasema hivi,
"....There shall be a Head of the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar who shall be the President of Zanzibar and the Head of the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar and also the Chairman of the Revolutionary Council of Zanzibar. (Emphasis supplied).

This clinches the debate and drives home the fact that Zanzibar is not a state, not only in international law but also under the Union Constitution. Louis XIV of France bragged: "the State is me".
