Location:   Lilongwe, starting at Crossroads Hotel in Area 9 and continuing past Civo Stadium to the M1 road to the District Commissioner’s Officer in Area 3.

Event: The Concerned Citizens of Malawi and Economic Freedom Movement civil society groups have scheduled a demonstration on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, to repeal Section 12 of the constitution over concerns relating to voter registration.  Heavy traffic and heightened police presence around the demonstration route is expected.  Although the demonstrations are intended to be peaceful, it is always possible for crowds to grow and turn violent without warning.  Tear gas may be deployed to disperse large crowds.

Actions to Take:

  • Avoid the areas of the demonstrations.
  • Exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings or protests.
  • Monitor local media for updates.
  • Keep a low profile.
  • Review your personal security plans.
