The former president of Tanzania, Julius Nyerere, has died at the age of 77. He died in a London hospital where he was being treated for leukaemia. Mr Nyerere, regarded as the father of his nation, led Tanzania to independence from Britain in 1961. He was president from 1962 until 1985, when he became one of the first post-colonial African leaders to step down from power voluntarily.
