I am dumbfounded. I thought Chakwera was the new Magufuli. My advice to Malawians, demonstrate peacefully and safeguard your democracy.

Our problems are massive and as a country we have known what we need to do for over 50 years but we don't. As for the why? we as Malawian's know why! The people involved in this report apart from Kalindo are questionable due to biased agendas for the government of the day.... but great efforts from Al Jazeera on shedding some light on our issues...

Imagine Malawi is not under sanctions but still its not working, what if sanctions come 😔😔😔😔😔

[drum]

You are also, waiting for the investors...?

[ibrahimomar]

If the president ignores the demonstrators he will be removed when time comes

MY DEAR MALAVIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS, SORRY TO KNOW THE CURRENT SITUATION HERE, I OFTEN IMAGINE TO VISIT MY DREAM LAND MALAWI, SOMEDAY I WILL SINCE I LOVE AFRICA AND HER PEOPLE VERY MUCH. MALAVIAN PEOPLE MUST GIVE EMPHASIS ON BETTER MENT OF AGRICULTURE TRADITIONALLY BY ACCOMMODATING BULLOCKS AND PLOUGH, AND your Traditional way, GIVING PRIORITY TO BIO MANURE INSTEAD OF CHEMICAL ONE, CATTLE REARING, ENHANCE YOUR LOCAL COMMODITY PRODUCTS AND CONSUMPTION. PLANTING TREES ABOUNDING. GO FOR YOUR TRADITIONAL HERBAL TREATMENT SYSTEM. WE IN INDIA ARE TOO VEXED WITH CORRUPTION. THE WHOLE SCENARIO OF MALAVI PLIGHT WILL BE CHANGED BY MUTUAL RIGHT EFFORTS BY MY MALAVIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS. PRAY TO JESUS FOR BETTERMENT OF MY DREAM COUNTRY AND HER NICE PEOPLE.

Why us aljezera reporting on africa like an african prodcast

[chawanangwamkandawire]

The government won't change its ways because it's people don't Chang their ways. Politicians won't provide a solution to our poverty coz they thrive on our need for hand outs, not minding the sub-standard services, us looking upto them as gods to solve everything.

Kolindo is high on gin, even if he can be president he will be the worst

[musicoftheviolinstudios.]

Next time malawians choose a rich leader who is a business man also, at least he will have economic knowledge and still less. Unlike poor leader who don't know even how to run the nation only knows how to make himself rich.
