Persecution of the Tumbuka people

Persecution of the Tumbuka people refers to the historical and continuing discrimination, marginalisation, and violence directed against the Tumbuka people of northern Malawi, eastern Zambia, and parts of southern Tanzania. Although the Tumbuka were once politically and culturally dominant in several regions of pre-colonial Malawi, colonial and post-independence policies have contributed to their systematic exclusion from political representation, education, and economic opportunities.
