Malawi refers lake border dispute with Tanzania to UN

December 5, 2016 Nyasa Times Reporter
Malawi has formally protested to the international community including United Nations (UN), government has confirmed.

The border of Lake Malawi , which is potentially rich in oil and gas, is a subject of conflict between Malawi and with Tanzania .

Malawi disputes Tanzania’s claim to half the lake – Africa’s third biggest.
Tanzania is promoting a new map showing that the east African country owns part of the Lake Malawi.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Corporation has advised international community to disregard Tanzania’s new map.

“Malawi government would not have just remained silent because that would mean acknowledgeing the purported new map,” said spokespeeson for Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Corporation.

The neighbours have disagreed over their border since independence, and report that the lake had vast oil and gas reserves has reignited the ongoing dispute over the boundaries on Lake Malawi.

Malawi has awarded oil exploration licences to international firms such as Hamra Oil of United Arab Emirates to search for oil in the lake, which Tanzania calls Lake Nyasa.

Chief Secretary George Mkondiwa has advised the officials to disregard the “half truth”s by Tanzania by rejecting use of any document bearing such misinformation.

“Malawi will never, and has never, at any time, acquiesced to Tanzania’s unwarranted and unjustified territorial claims,” Mkondiwa said.

Mkondiwa added:“Malawi government would like to call upon all officials in government ministries, departments, and agencies to be alert on this matter and to continue rejecting and refusing to use all such maps appearing in any form or media including calendars, diaries, official documentation or other documents for any purpose or business.”

Meanwhile, Malawi wants the international community, including the UN to resolve the dispute.

Huyu raisi wa sasa maruhuni mkubwa haelewi kuwa mikakati yote ya yeye kuwa raisi ilipangwa Tanzania ili kumpiga chini Mwehu Joyce banda .Anatutafuta watanzania atatukoma maruhuni mkubwa
 
Ulishaona wapi mpaka wa nchi na nchi ukawa kwenye shore (mwaloni) mwa nchi ya mwenzako? Yaani kwa mfano mpaka kati ya Uganda na Tanzania ukawa kwenye mwalo wa upande wa Tanzania? Yaani mwalo wa Kirumba, Nyegezi, Mwanza airport, Bukoba Airport nk ukawa uko nchini Uganda? Kama siyo uendawazimu ni nini hasa hawa Wamalawi wanachotutaka?

Kuwemo kwa mafuta/gas katika Ziwa Nyasa haiwezi kuwa sababu kwani tunaweza kukubaliana kumiliki rasilimali hiyo kwa 50 kwa 50 lakini si Malawi kuchukua mwalo wetu wa Ziwa Nyasa. Hapa hakuna cha UN wala ICC. Waache kutujaribu na kutuletea Syria hapa.

Hivi kweli kama hayo maramani ya wakoloni yangeonyesha kuwa mpaka wa Tanzania upande wa Malawi unajumulisha na mwalo wote wa Ziwa Nyasa ulioko upande wa Malawi, ingekuwaje? Wamalawi wangekubali kweli? Yaani jeshi letu la JWTZ livinjari upande ule wa mwalo wa Malawi kwani liko nchini Tanzania? This is nosense and Malawi must stop this.
 
Acheni masihara kwenye Mali za nchi ziwa lazima tugawane katikati kama Ramani ya wajerumani ilivyo ........

Tukiwapa Kenya nao wakataka Kilimanjaro tuwape?......

Uganda wakautaka mto kagera tuwape tu ?.......

Rais ikiwezekana atume majeshi haraka sana waache kuchezea maslahi ya Taifa........
 
Mbona hawa nao wanatusumbua sana ? Hebu pelekeni ka operesheni tokomeza majangili hapo kusini kutuma ujumbe

Jaribuni watazamaji tupo
