Journos arrested for covering Malawi, Tanzania oil talks

By Nyasa Times Reporter August 23, 2012

Police on Thursday arrested two freelance journalists who went to cover the ongoing diplomatic border talks between Malawi and Tanzania at the Mzuzu Hotel accusing them of publishing false news.

The dispute stems from colonial-era border lines around Lake Malawi, Africa’s third-largest.
The main task of this meeting of experts is for the two sides to exchange documents and hopefully reach a consensus that will end the age old border row.
