Recent Malawi
Dr. Banda, who led the fight
for independence, declared himself president for life in 1971. Political
corruption left
Malawi in dire straits.The Malagasy people became some of the poorest in the world.
In 1992
violence erupted from internal tension. Great Britain, the United States & Germany cut off
$500 million in aid to encourage democracy. In 1994 free elections were held resulting in
Banda's dismissal
& the election of the United Democratic Front.
