  Malawi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The origins for the name Malawi remains unclear; it is held to be either derived from that of southern tribes, or noting the 'glitter of the sun rising across the lake' (as seen in its flag).
Malawi saw its first transition between democratically elected presidents in May 2004, when the UDF’s presidential candidate Bingu wa Mutharika defeated MCP candidate John Tembo and Gwanda Chakuamba, who was backed by a grouping of opposition parties.
Malawi's president recently urged farmers to consider growing other crops, such as cotton ([2]), as an alternative to the country's principal crop, tobacco, as cigarette consumption in the West continues to decline.

The Republic of Malawi is a land-locked nation in East Africa.
The Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland was dissolved on December 31, 1963, and Malawi became a fully independent member of the Commonwealth (formerly the British Commonwealth) on July 6, 1964.

 Malawi - military flags and ensigns   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
I lived in Malawi for a couple of years, and discovered that the army naval unit had an ensign for it's patrol boats.
Regarding Malawi, it would not be correct to say that Malawi has a Naval ensign since it is a landlocked country, but it does have a "Naval Unit" which operates on Lake Malawi (one of the largest lakes in Africa).
In the centre of the red panel is the insignia of the Malawi Army in yellow (lion above yellow rising sun as found on the COA with inscription "MALAWI ARMY" in fl below).

 Malawi
The fish eagle and wavy bands on the shield symbolise Lake Malawi while the lion and the leopard guard the crest as a whole.
The flag change was planned because the current flag is derived from the former flag of the main opposition (and former ruling) party, the Malawi Congress Party, except for the rising sun.
The article further mentions that MCP "three years ago" changed its flag to one which is all-green with a fl cock in the middle of a white circle.
