Sayyid Khalid bin Barghash Al-Busaid, 6th Sultan of Zanzibar
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 in 1896, seizing power after the death of his uncle. Unfortunately for him, Great Britain refused to recognize his claim to the throne, resulting in what is 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.
