Karonga War (original) (raw)
The name Karonga War is given to a number of armed clashes that took place between mid-1887 and mid-1889 near Karonga at the northern end of Lake Malawi in what is now Malawi between a Scottish trading concern called the African Lakes Company Limited and elements of the Ngonde people on one side and Swahili traders and their Henga allies on the other. In the 19th century, it was referred to as the “Arab War”, despite few actual Arabs being involved. Although these conflicts predate formal endorsement of a British Central Africa Protectorate west of Lake Malawi in 1891, European involvement, both by the African Lakes Company and by Germans attempting to prevent Swahili slave trading around Lake Tanganyika in German East Africa, had upset the previous balance between the Ngonde and their ne

| dbo:abstract | La guerre de Karonga est une série d'affrontements armés qui se déroulent entre la mi-1887 et la mi-1889 près de Karonga, au nord du lac Malawi, qui opposent l'entreprise écossaise African Lakes Corporation et des éléments armés du peuple Ngonde d'un côté, et des commerçants Swahilis alliés aux Henga de l'autre. Au XIXe siècle, on l'appelle la « guerre arabe » en dépit du fait que très peu d'Arabes au sens effectif du terme soient impliqués. Les faits sont antérieurs à la création officielle du protectorat britannique d'Afrique centrale en 1891, mais l'implication européenne, celle de l'African Lakes Corporation et celle des Allemands qui veulent empêcher la traite esclavagiste autour du lac Tanganyika en Afrique orientale allemande, rompt l'équilibre entre les Ngonde et leurs voisins, ce qui crée les conditions du conflit.
