Malawi has hailed the British Empire as \u201cliberators\u201d who saved Africans from the brutal Arab slave trade as the country\u2019s Government moves forward with plans to commemorate this \u201cforgotten\u201d chapter in history. The Telegraph <\/em>has the story<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Across Africa, Britain has been called an oppressor and confronted with demands for slavery reparations.<\/p>\n

But one nation is celebrating the British Empire as a liberator.<\/p>\n

Malawi suffered from the brutality of Arab slavery, with its people captured by rival tribes and shipped to the Middle East, part of a 1,200-year-long traffic in human commodities that is often overshadowed by Europe\u2019s transatlantic trade.<\/p>\n

The country wants to tell the world about this forgotten slave trade \u2013 and how Britain ran a determined campaign to end it.<\/p>\n

Malawi\u2019s Government is overseeing plans to build a museum dedicated to slavery, preserve mosques and markets linked to the trade, and have them inscribed as World Heritage sites to \u201csend a message\u201d internationally about this neglected chapter of history.<\/p>\n

Through its department of museums, Malawi will also celebrate the British Empire by conserving ruined forts built by colonial forces to protect Africans from marauding slavers.<\/p>\n

\u201cBritain was not a coloniser; it was a liberator,\u201d said Moses Mkumpha, who is working on the Government-backed project to preserve colonial buildings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe monuments that we have, that we conserve, they are linked with the British. If you look at how the slave trade was ended in Malawi, we owe that to the British.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking in the capital of Lilongwe, Dr Oris Malijani, the project leader, told the Telegraph <\/em>that Malawi\u2019s plans would help to correct misperceptions about history, saying: \u201cSlavery in East and Central Africa, it is almost forgotten; it is not discussed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to tell the world about it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
