"Allegiance" Maybe add the years where he was active in every party?
I'd rather not for a few reasons. Tanganyika became Tanzania in 1964 after joining with Zanzibar, but the sources I've found thus far don't point a clear line to the transformation of the Tanganyika Rifles to the TPDF (though it definitely happened around the same time). And though we know Walden was in military service the whole time, we don't know the fate of his unit in that transformation. Plus, we don't have an end date for his service to Tanzania, since we don't know his exact retirement.

What do you mean? The book its from was in print.

Maybe translate the title of Daudi's source?
Google translates it roughly to "Be aware of the 'Black Mamba' and the History of Tanzania" which is very clunky. No online Swahili dictionary has returned a meaning for Mfahamu.
Ref 4, which page number?
It's an ebook without page numbers, "The case of Stanley Arthur Walden" is the subsection title.
"War in Uganda: The Legacy of Idi Amin" Doesn't need a Google Books' URL.
Delinked.
"The River: A Journey Back to the Source of HIV and AIDS" Same as above.
