Political history of Malawi

The British exploited Malawi's natural resources, including tobacco, tea, and sugar, and imposed their own language, culture, and political systems.

[2] Banda's regime was notorious for human rights abuses, including forced labor, political imprisonment, and torture.

The United Democratic Front (UDF), led by Bakili Muluzi, won the 1994 elections, ending the MCP's dominance.

Muluzi served two terms, followed by Bingu wa Mutharika (DPP) and Joyce Banda (People's Party).

Malawi faced significant economic challenges, including poverty, inflation, and dependence on foreign aid.
