Karonga, 27 September, 2021 / 9:00 pm (ACI Africa).
The ongoing crisis in the Southern African nation of Mozambique should not be ignored, a Catholic Bishop in Malawi has told the President of the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
Bishop Martin Anwel Mtumbuka who was speaking at the 19th Congregation of the Catholic University of Malawi (CUNIMA) over the weekend said the leadership of the regional body should act to prevent a security crisis similar to that in West Africa.
“You don’t have to turn a blind eye to what is happening in Mozambique,” the Bishop Mtumbuka has been quoted as telling President Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi who doubles as the President of SADC.
The Malawian Catholic Bishop added, “SADC has to learn from what happened in West Africa and how the region is struggling to contain peace and stability as well as how the vulnerable and the weak are suffering in the region.”
“I speak from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of the weak and vulnerable Malawians who cannot protect themselves from instability,” Bishop Mtumbuka who is also the Chairperson of CUNIMA Council further said during the September 25 event in reference to the crisis in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado.
