Reply to comment by MsFoxxx in First female chief in Malawi, South Africa ends child marriage by messyredemptions

I've never once heard Malawi referred to as East African. They're a part of SADC, not EAC. Weird.

If you Google it literally says it's in EAST Africa.

If you check Wikipedia it literally says SOUTHEAST Africa.

The CIA World Fact Book says SOUTHERN Africa.

The Malawi Department of Tourism says SOUTHEAST Africa.

I tried checking the Malawi Government's own site but couldn't access it for whatever reason.

Neither the official Malawi Twitter or Facebook pages seem to say anything about it.

So in short: It might not necessarily be Southern Africa, but it sure doesn't seem to be Eastern.

Nobody in Malawi considers it East Africa.
