Malawi police arrest 4 for aiding illegal lags from Rwanda
One Tanzanian national and three Malawians are in police custody in Malawi’s northern border district of Karonga for aiding and abetting seven Rwandese (three women and four men), to enter the country without valid documents.
Karonga Station Officer Almakio Daka identified the suspects as Braham Mussa, (47) years of Mbeya village in Tanzania, Jackson Mweneloki (28) of Luhimbo village Traditional Authority Kyungu in Karonga, Pililani Mphande (27) of Matemanga village Traditional Authority Ntwalo in Mzimba and Beyan Munthali (25) of Kajiso village Traditional Authority Ntwalo in Mzimba.
According to Daka the four were caught at Lukulu road block in a minibus coming from Songwe boarder going to Mzuzu.
“All the suspects were in a minibus Toyota Hiace registration number MZ9621 with two conductors which are Malawians and Malawian driver and a Tanzanian who was with the seven people in the back seat,” said Daka.
He said during interrogations the three Malawians told the police that they were hired by the Tanzanian nation to carry the people and were told everything will be well in the road blocks.
Daka said the illegal immigrants said that they were from Democratic of Congo (DRC).
“In the interview, the seven people explained that they are from the DRC and are seeking asylum in Malawi but when we called United Nation High Commission of Refugees (UNHCR) representative here in Karonga to interview them if they really looking for refuge, they failed the interview hence they will answer charges of entering the country illegally,” said Daka.
Meanwhile the police also impounded the minibus they were travelling in.

I have followed with great interest comments regarding federal government .Let there be debate on the subject matter so that people should have informed decision . By the way they are some institutions in Malawi who run the affairs based on federal system. The church for example Blantyre synod runs the affairs of C.C.A.P in southern region so too Nkhoma synod in the central region and Livingstonia synod in the northern region and they all co-exist. In all these synods you find people from all three regions running the affairs of their respective synod and so why all this fuss

As a specialist of the great lakes region, an attention must be paid on this case. These rwandese people might be the hutus repraching themselves of slautering tustis in Rwanda 1994 genocide. Send them to rwanda to face justice baton.
You Mulenga Josaphat inyenzi, you are just an extremist genocidaire who hates those poor hutus oppressed in your country by a criminal regime. Even decent tutsis are fleeing your country nowadays and some even have been killed (for example Patrick Karegeya in SA) because of opposing the military dictatorship, racial segregation and the killing of innocent peoples. Shame on you !
Iwe murumbaru komwe waona kupangirako zachisoni ndiku Malaw basi?kodi africayo amatanthauza Malawi?afta all kwina konseko kuli mtendere bt y only Malaw?Apapa akutuluka mu Tz bwanji sanaime mmenemo?Zaugalu ife ayi takana,mukafikaso kuno mukumaba kwambiri agalu inu,awatu akubwerera ndiye ukolope nyanja ngati zakuzungubuwa.

“Let malawians run the shops in townships”…. Did these foreigners who run the shops now grab them from their hosts?
This can easily tantamount to xenophobia!
I say no to illegal immigrants…I say no to grab their stuff.
They should be sent back
Well done to our Police Service for professionalism. I think the people in the other countries think they can just come to Malawi and do whatever as birds would do. Lets begin by giving them a lesson that Malawi is for Malawians first so they must think twice before deciding to come to Malawi to take up our business space and land. Lets close their businesses and let Malawians operate these. Ministry of land, please reposes the land that you have corruptly allocated to the foreigners and give it to Malawians. Malo akutha but you can’t see that you are… Read more »
Stop hatred man ! These poor guys are seeking asylum for their safety ! What is happening to them today may happen to you tomorrow !! Be humans and Christians and stop hatred and jealousy. As Africans,learn to love each other and live in harmony. Otherwise you have a long way to go if you don`t have a compassionate heart for your brothers and sisters in pain.
