Banda, propaganda will not help you! We have a fair share of the lake and that will remain so. I am a Member of Parliament and I am for the motion that if you won't seat and resolve this conflict amicably with us - we will not go to the ICJ and we will continue owning our share, and we will continue stopping you from using our side of the lake and if you go against we shall defend our borders by any means possible, if it be a war then so be it, and I will the first to sign in to that resolution and for the front line position! If you don't know Tanzanians, go ask Iddi Amin Dada...its a pity that he died in exile...

HK!

You need to know if you don't know yet that, we have new Administrative Regions. That is one of the reason of introducing a new map. External boundaries remained the same if you don't believe this come and buy school atlases used in 80s and 90s.

Banda,

Those maps are not new, we have been using them all these years.

It was Malawi who changed the name from Lake Nyasa to Malawi, and the boarder line, but here we remained using Lake Nyasa with boarders in the middle of the lake.

What is happening here is, Malawian leaders have for years giving their people a false picture about the lake!!!!

Tanzania on Saturday denied that they have deployed military vessels
on the Lake Malawi (known in Tanzania as Lake Nyasa) and also
dismissed its security organs were harassing Malawian fishermen.

Malawi President Joyce Banda announced this week that her government
would take Tanzania to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over
the border dispute in the Africa's third largest lake which is said to
have oil deposits. Malawi awarded oil exploration licenses to UK-based
Surestream Petroleum to search for oil in the lake.

Lilongwe  has also accused Dar Es Saalam of provocation by releasing
new map that shows the border line passing in the middle of the
disputed lake.

But Tanzania's foreign affairs minister, Bernard Membe, speaking at
news conference on Saturday denied that Tanzania had stationed
military vessels on Lake Nyasa, explaining  that the country was
carrying out "normal" patrols on the water body.

"It's true that several fishermen, including two Malawians, were found
fishing illegally on the Tanzanians side of the lake.  This, however,
does not mean that we have been actively targeting Malawians," Membe
said as quoted by The Citizen  newspaper of Tanzania.

"We have only been carrying out routine patrols on the Tanzanian side
of the lake," Membe said adding  that Tanzania would continue to
pursue diplomatic means, including seeking mediation, to end the
dispute.

He however challenged  Malawi President on her decision to  take
Tanzania to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), saying Tanzania,
despite being a member of the court, was not a signatory to the
compulsory jurisdiction declaration.

On the new map that shows the border line passing in the middle of the
disputed lake,, Membe said the map was needed for administrative
purposes and reflected the "actual boundary".

The minister said he did not believe the new map was the only reason
that prompted Malawi to pull out of the talks because the country
could raise the matter during the discussions.

Membe said Tanzania will propose  a mediator "even if Malawi does not
return to the negotiations."

Tanzania wants an international mediator to be appointed from among
former African presidents from the 15-nation trade bloc Southern
African Development (SADC). Both Tanzania and Malawi are members of
SADC.

Last year Malawi, an impoverished southern African country, in Lake
Malawi, as it hopes to join the regional oil and gas bonanza.

In July, Tanzanian authorities asked Surestream Petroleum to postpone
any planned drilling on the lake. The company has not yet started to
drill.
