Home World Map Rankings Currency Converter Countries from A to Z A B C D ... Africa Zambia Introduction: The territory of Northern Rhodesia was administered by the South Africa Company from 1891 until it was taken over by the UK in 1923. During the 1920s and 1930s, advances in mining spurred development and immigration. The name was changed to Zambia upon independence in 1964. In the 1980s and 1990s, declining copper prices and a prolonged drought hurt the economy. Elections in 1991 brought an end to one-party rule, but the subsequent vote in 1996 saw blatant harassment of opposition parties. The election in 2001 was marked by administrative problems with three parties filing a legal petition challenging the election of ruling party candidate Levy MWANAWASA. The new president launched a far-reaching anti-corruption campaign in 2002, which resulted in the 2003 arrest of the previous president Frederick CHILUBA and many of his supporters. Opposition parties currently hold a majority of seats in the National Assembly.

Lusaka , 22 December 2003 - 'Ichi chalo' , a phrase in the indigenous Bemba language, is being heard more and more frequently in Zambia. Literally translated, 'ichi chalo' means 'this world in which we live'. But, for the growing number of Zambians struggling against food shortages, it has become a common way of referring to their daily battle to feed themselves and their families. Radio stations, and in particular community radio stations, have proven to be one of the best mediums for disseminating information in Zambia Richard Ragan, WFP Country Director
