[wanabidii] Malawi – Tanzania (Tanganyika and Zanzibar) Boundary

MALAWI – TANZANIA (TANGANYIKA AND ZANZIBAR) BOUNDARY

I. BRIEF SURVEY
Historically the political status of the states adjacent to the present Malawi - Tanganyika
and Zanzibar boundary has changed numerous times. The boundary was established
initially to delimit territorial claims between British and German spheres of influence in East
Africa. In 1890, an Anglo - German agreement1 delimited generally the territories of the
two European states between Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa and in the latter body of
water.2 The present alignment of the boundary between the lakes was not determined in
detail until decisions were reached by a joint boundary commission in 1898 and an
agreement was signed by the United Kingdom and Germany in 1901.

In effect between World War I and the independence of Tanganyika in 1963, the boundary
was interterritorial in scope with British administered states on both sides. The boundary
as previously established was accepted by the Republic of Tanganyika, now the United
Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar,3 and the Republic of Malawi4 upon their
independence.
