“When I toured the Southern Region during Operation Tigwilane Manja eight months ago following the devastation caused by Cyclone Freddy, three things we’re very clear to me. It was clear that people’s enjoyment of their human rights here were compromised and in danger. It was also clers that the Malawians choosing to surrender their rights in order to take up the responsibility of serving the victims sacrificially and generously. And it was clear that the help that Government and citizens were extending to victims was not going to be enough and needed to be reinforced by international support,” he said.

The President was quick to react that international relationships here in SADC Region and other international partners has been a key to the countries development not only in devastating periods but also afterwards.

He has also warned against politicizing the issue of international support.

The Malawi leader has therefore urged those people who have already achieved economic success to create opportunities for other to achieve successes just like them
