TANZANIA MALAWI HAKUNA SULUHU MPAKA WA ZIWA NYASA

Tanzania and Malawi on Friday ended negotiations over a border dispute on Lake Malawi (Lake Niassa in Mozambique) without reaching any agreement. According to the chief mediator of the dispute, former Mozambican president Joaquim Chissano, Malawi and Tanzania differ on how to start solving the dispute with Tanzania insisting on the delimitation of the border line while Malawi more on mineral. The team of mediators under Chissano also includes the second post-apartheid president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, and former president of Botswana Festus Mogae. The delegations from the two countries met in the Mozambican capital Maputo again after the first negotiation failed in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi, at the end of last year. Chissano said the mediators recommended the two countries first use the natural resources in common benefit and then discuss the delimitation. "There is no agreement on management of the Lake for the benefit of Malawians and Tanzanians," Chissano said.
