These stamps were issued by the Germans for use in Malakote, but were not issued because of the British occupation of this territory.

The stamps of Witu (or Swahililand or Suaheliland in German) were prepared, but didn't come into use (although Friedemann says they were in use). About 60 different postage stamps and 35 official stamps were prepared in 1889. Examples:
Cancel: single ring with "WITO", date and arabic text.
According to Friedemann (page 208), also a cancel consisting of
parallel bars with a "W" in the middle exists. Existing
obliterated stamps are probably cancelled to order.

From 1890 on, Witu belonged to British East Africa.
