Tanzania over the boundary in Lake Nyasa (Lake Malawi)
and the meandering Songwe River; Malawi contends that
the entire lake up to the Tanzanian shoreline is its
territory, while Tanzania claims the border is in the
center of the lake; the conflict was reignited in 2012
when Malawi awarded a license to a British company for
oil exploration in the lake.
