The Embassy of the United States of America in Dar es Salaam (Шаблон:Lang-sw) is the diplomatic mission of the United States in Tanzania.[1]

History

Diplomatic relations between the United States and Tanzania, initially known as Tanganyika, began shortly after the country gained independence from British rule in 1961. The United States recognized Tanganyika on December 9, 1961, with a congratulatory message from President John F. Kennedy to Prime Minister Julius Nyerere. The American consulate general in Dar es Salaam was elevated to an Embassy on December 9, 1961, with William R. Duggan serving as the Chargé d’Affaires ad interim.[2]

On 7 August 1998, this embassy, at its former address of 36 Laibon Road, along with the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, was the target of a bomb attack perpetrated by al-Qaeda. The bomb attack in Dar es Salaam killed 11 people.

The new embassy compound was opened on March 4, 2003, in Dar es Salaam. The embassy is a twenty-two acre compound that houses two main structures; the Chancery and the USAID Building.[3]
