Protestors begin gathering in the streets, drawing comparisons to past demonstrations

By Burnett Munthali

Protestors have already started arriving in the streets in anticipation of today’s scheduled demonstrations, organized to express public dissatisfaction over various issues. Citizens, frustrated by economic challenges and governance concerns, are coming together to make their voices heard, hoping to send a message to the current administration.

Some protestors have pointed out that, during past demonstrations led by President Lazarus Chakwera before he came to office, the police were also busy with other responsibilities but still made efforts to maintain order and ensure public safety. This sentiment reflects a broader expectation that security forces should provide adequate protection for all citizens exercising their right to protest, regardless of the circumstances.

Comparisons to Chakwera’s earlier days as a protest leader are sparking conversation among demonstrators, many of whom remember how his protests unfolded and the role law enforcement played at the time. The people are calling for a similar commitment from the police today, emphasizing the need for the authorities to balance security measures without stifling the democratic right to assemble.

As more citizens join the demonstrations, the streets are likely to see a heightened level of activity. The hope among protestors is for a peaceful demonstration that allows their voices to reach the leaders, sparking meaningful changes and responses to the pressing issues Malawians face daily.
