All rural development was centred on villages. Private banks and many industries were nationalized.\u003cbr/\u003eLong after retirement, Nyerere conceded socialism was a failure, but he never apologized. \u003cbr/\u003eNyerere never shied away from unpopular causes when he believed he had a conviction.\u003cbr/\u003eA supporter of liberation movements in southern Africa, Nyerere broke diplomatic ties with Britain in 1965 for its failure to stymie the unilateral declaration of independence in its colony, Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe. \u003cbr/\u003eIn 1979 Nyerere defied the Organisation of African Unity and sent troops into Uganda. \u003cbr/\u003eHis excuse was that Amin had annexed the Kagera region in northwestern Tanzania in late 1978. \u003cbr/\u003eNyerere's aim was to rid Africa of dictator Idi Amin Dada and he succeeded.\u003cbr/\u003eDuring the Cold War, Nyerere maintained good relations with both capitalist and socialist countries. \u003cbr/\u003eAlthough he was harsh with his critics and detained some of them indefinitely without trial, Nyerere never acquired notoriety for human rights abuses.\u003cbr/\u003eIn a continent known for corrupt leaders who live lavishly off state coffers, Nyerere lived modestly and when he quit politics parliament had to hastily pass a law granting him a pension.\u003cbr/\u003eNyerere was among a handful of African presidents to voluntarily step down.\u003cbr/\u003eHe also foresaw the futility of single-party rule in Tanzania as the clamor for democracy swept the continent following the collapse of Communist rules in eastern Europe and Russia.\u003cbr/\u003eNyerere had a string of honorary degrees from universities in Africa and both West and East, including North Korea, Cuba, Britain and the United States. \u003cbr/\u003eA Roman Catholic, Nyerere was married and had eight children.\u003cbr/\u003eXFA        Various, File \u003cbr/\u003eArusha, Tanzania, July 31st, 1996, \u003cbr/\u003e1.
