Malawi orders foreigners into refugee camp
Reports and analysis of the day's political, economic and sports news from across Africa.
Malawi’s government has ordered thousands of foreign nationals to move into an overcrowded refugee camp at Dzaleka, despite many of them having been in the country for years. The authorities have suggested that the decision is partly due to the increase in jihadist attacks in neighbouring Mozambique.
Plus, former Lord’s Resistance Army commander Dominic Ongwen has been jailed for 25 years by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, for atrocities committed in northern Uganda.
And pandemic measures have been reinstituted in the Seychelles, despite the country having one of the world’s highest Covid-19 vaccination rates.
