What does the name yo-yo ma mean? This from the Daily Beast: There's a Chinese tradition that all the siblings from one generation share one character in their names in common, or one syllable, â¦ the celebrated cellist explained in an interview for my new PBS documentary series, Faces of America.
Malawi is a landlocked country located in southern central Africa along the western part of the Great Rift Valley of Africa. Covering a total area of 118,484 kmÂ², it stretches some 900 km north to south, and between 90 and 161 km east to west.
The name Malawi comes from the Maravi, an old name of the Nyanja people that inhabit the area. The country is also nicknamed The Warm Heart of Africa. Malawi is among the smallest countries in Africa. Lake Malawi takes about a third of Malawi's area. The area of Africa now known as Malawi was settled by migrating Bantu groups around the 10th century. Centuries later in 1891 the area was colonised by the British.
