Malawi: Activists plan protest in Lilongwe May 6

Event

Activists have scheduled a protest march in Lilongwe May 6 to demand the resignation of the head of Malawi's Anti-Corruption Bureau, Martha Chizuma. Participants will gather at the Lilongwe Community Center Ground during the morning hours. The planned route remains unknown.

Heightened security is likely where protesters gather and along marching routes. Ground travel delays are also likely. Clashes between demonstrators and the police are possible if participants ignore police orders to disperse or if they are overly disruptive.

Advice

Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Exercise caution near the gathering points and plan for ground travel delays.
